The East is about to dawn, and the college entrance examination is approaching. At that time, July 7, August and September of every year were the days of the college entrance examination, and the watershed of life began at this moment.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, my family and I were not worried, nor did we stay awake all night. After thinking about it, there were no mobilization meetings in the school and society. I only remember one night when I came home from school, I handed my father a college volunteer form about A3, just a piece of paper. I discussed with my father what schools and volunteers to apply for. At that time, there were only national key universities and provincial key universities. There was no difference of 211985, and there were no hundreds of universities that dazzled people. You'd better choose to be near your home. It's in the northeast. The first volunteer is the Northeast Institute of technology, which is today's Northeast University. The second volunteer is a provincial key university. The ignorant are fearless. My father and I discussed that I studied science and reported to the physics department. The reason why I chose to apply for physics is that I have probably been promoting the concept of "learning mathematics and chemistry and not afraid to travel all over the world" in those years. Physics is still a popular major. Compared with mathematics, mathematics is too monotonous, while physics is more practical. Physics, this is the most difficult subject, but I was the worst in the college entrance examination, but I was admitted by the physics department. As for the major, the most popular major at that time was the radio major, and the competition must be fierce. Considering their actual situation, I felt that it was difficult to admit the radio major, while the semiconductor major was a minor major that few people paid attention to at that time. Then report to the semiconductor major, or the probability of being admitted may be higher. It's really wrong. I was admitted as a semiconductor major. Who knows, today's major, that is, microelectronic chip, has become the most fashionable major in the world and the neck technology. What a whirlwind! But who could see so far at that time?

Today, the most difficult subject has been transformed into one of the three primary schools. Many students are far away from physics and chemistry, such as avoiding the God of plague. In recent years, fewer and fewer students have applied for the examination. This is really a fact that should not be. Physics is very difficult, but is it necessary for us to make physics problems so difficult? Isn't our subject to let students understand nature? Physics is just a subject of understanding nature and a means and method of understanding nature. If all disciplines blindly take biased, difficult and strange topics as the dissemination of knowledge and things they like to talk about, it is really contrary to our original idea and very different. In addition, the development of the country is inseparable from science and engineering and physics. The importance of physics is self-evident. However, this course has been weakened.

To tell you the truth, I don't remember how I spent the time before the college entrance examination. I only remember that one afternoon at 4 or 5 o'clock, I was reviewing at my desk. Suddenly the door opened. My father came in from the outside and handed me a small paper bag. I looked inside. There were bright red strawberries. Dad looked at me and smiled. My parents only support and encourage me silently. They can't answer our questions and correct our homework, and they have no time to accompany, read and comfort us. That's what they try to do.

On the day of the college entrance examination, the school started two buses to take us students to the district examination room. As for where to take the exam, where to take the exam and what school to take the exam, I have forgotten all about it now. When the bus started, there was no long line of parents to see them off, no prayer and ceremony, and parents didn't even send them off! There is no need for the police to open the way. During the examination, there was no eager waiting and expectation from parents outside the school. When I came back from the end of the exam, there were no gongs, drums and firecrackers, and there was no celebration. Everything goes as it goes. Take the exam and it's over.

Two more words. Before the college entrance examination, there is no need to find and reserve hotels near the examination site in advance, because the examination site is located in the suburbs of the city, there is no problem of traffic congestion, and the three days of the examination are picked up and sent by car. If you want to make an appointment, you may not have it yet! The limitations of the times.

The college entrance examination has been conducted for three consecutive days, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It seems that three were taken on the last day. Someone may ask, where do you eat and rest at noon in the college entrance examination? Someone might not believe it. At noon between exams, we had no place to rest at all. In retrospect, this question seems very funny. How can no one care about such a big thing? How can no one think of this problem? Why don't parents arrange to be unaccompanied and unprepared? It's no wonder that today's top priority may not really be a matter at that time and will not be valued and taken seriously by parents and society. In the 1980s, people never regarded the college entrance examination as important (personal understanding), regarded it as an important milestone in life, an important opportunity to change fate, a node to choose the road of life, or regarded it as a stepping stone to enter the upper society. At that time, how could ordinary people understand that "knowledge changes destiny", "knowledge is power", and how could they understand that "science and technology is the primary productive force"?

I vaguely remember that my parents gave me a few yuan for lunch, that's all. But what I still remember is that on the first morning after the college entrance examination, four partners of our class went to a small restaurant near the examination room to eat noodles. After eating noodles, there was no place to rest at noon. We went back to the parallel bars on the school playground and played there under the scorching sun. When it was time for the exam in the afternoon, we went into the classroom for the exam. The college entrance examination for three consecutive days passed like this. Strangely, I've been very excited for a few days. On the last day, when I got on the bus and went home, I asked my biology teacher if I did well in the exam. I even asked others about my exams. Perhaps this is to explore a kind of recognition and recognition, and see my hope from the teacher's eyes and answers.

The three-day college entrance examination was surprisingly fast and passed all at once. Then there is an unknowingly long wait, because I don't know where the future is. I'm really the only one left at home. My parents have to go to work every day. My eldest brothers and sisters are married, married and working. I have been idle at home for at least more than a month. Occasionally, students will visit and make an appointment to other students' homes. Occasionally, read some idle books. Occasionally staring at the upstairs and downstairs outside the window. It's not that no one doesn't care about me and doesn't care about me at this time. My mother always worries about what I can't think of and tells my eldest sister to pay attention to my emotions. Later, one year after I was admitted to college, my eldest sister told me by chance. In their hearts, I may be a boy with something on my mind. I seem to belong to some sad people, but I didn't have anything to think about at that time. I just didn't know what the future was, but since the future, I didn't know how to face the future. I didn't know what life opportunities and jobs I didn't know, what it meant to go to college, and what I should do if I didn't go to college. Maybe it's that sentence: the ignorant are fearless.

Later, I forgot how I got the letter of undergraduate admission notice. I only remember that at noon that day, I got a small envelope. I don't know whether it was mailed by the post office or who brought it to me. At that time, when I opened it, there was a small note with my name and the examination results of various subjects. The results were divided into technical secondary school grades and all seven grades. When I looked at my grades, I later learned that it was actually a little higher than the undergraduate admission score. I think this score can be admitted. So he handed the notice to his father who was working downstairs. I told my father that I should be admitted. I only remember that my father was very happy that day. Then he went to the market to buy some vegetables, eggs and meat, and fried two dishes at noon.

Then came the formal admission notice of the University. Some don't remember. The notice tells us the date of the report, the activities at the beginning of school, etc. At the beginning of school, the school will carry out military training for freshmen for five weeks. Students do not need to bring their own luggage and bedding, but also issue military uniforms. They only need to pay very little for themselves. At that time, it was at public expense. I didn't pay any tuition and miscellaneous fees. In retrospect, this undoubtedly greatly reduced the living burden of our family. My father and mother bought me a set of black and blue sportswear and a suitcase that is still with me and has been rarely used by me in the corner. Insert an advertisement: for more than 30 years, the suitcase has been running around with its owner in many places. So far, only the lock is broken, and other parts are intact. It is a real moth proof product. Some of my old clothes stored in it are still as new. Finally, my father and mother sent me to school and began my college life.

A person who has only seen the university gate in the back cover photo of middle school students' Mathematics and chemistry, who has never stepped into any university gate, and who has never thought of going into the university to live and study, will go into the university to study from now on.

College is not the only way of life. Being admitted to university does not mean success in life, but entering university makes me go to a different way of life. From then on, I go to the exploration of nature I love. Just like a happy little fish in the stream, wandering in the sparkling stream, shuttling between the clean pebbles and green water and grass, swimming to the vast rivers and the boundless sea, like a climber, I have climbed a higher mountain since then, which gives me a broader vision and can look beyond the sky.
