Becoming a university student is a dream to most middle school students and that’s what they are working hard for. Wang Xia, an eighty-year-old man, is also working hard for his dream.
Wang Xia wants to go to Nanjing Medical University and become a doctor. He teaches himself at home. He makes lots of cards and learns in this way.
In fact, in 2002, Nanjing Medical University let Wang Xia have classes there because he wanted to study medicine so much. And the old man has finished the whole four years’ classes. But because he didn’t pass the College Entrance Exams (入学考试), he can’t become a real university student and he can never be a doctor. So the old man took part in his ninth College Entrance Exams this year, and he didn’t succeed again.
Without family members’ support (支持), Wang Xia still studies hard. Although his grades were not as good as most teenagers’, we should learn from him!
