“Everyone will have a new start, so do not let your past defeat your present and future. In the university, I know what I shall do. Now I have applied for a student loan, and I will work a part-time job, which I think, can cover the expense myself. I won’t add any pressure to my family.” Jia Zuosheng, 27, a security guard at the library of Beijing-based Tsinghua University before he was admitted to Shandong University, told the reporter about himself calmly.

“I am lucky. I cherished the job very much because it provided me with a good chance to read books. I took night shifts so I had plenty of time to study in the daytime. When I had problems I couldn`t work out, I plucked up my courage to consult teachers or students at Tsinghua, who were all friendly to me, and helped me a lot. ”

“My dream is to be a college teacher, to educate students with my knowledge and love and help them enjoy true, kind and beautiful things. That’s also the reason why I took the national entrance examination again. Although, however, I’m old enough to get married, I hope my parents would understand what I want to do.”
