My name is Shen Zhengliang, and my nickname is Zhuangzhuang.
But I am not strong at all. I have been very thin and small since I was a child, and I get sick very easily.
Every time I was sick, my parents became very nervous, especially my mother. She couldn't sleep all night and stayed by my bedside.
Only when my fever subsides will she dare to rest.
Sometimes when her father sees her like this, he wants to stay by her side, but her mother, who is usually very easy to talk to, refuses to do so no matter what.
When I was 5 years old, I fell seriously ill. No matter how I went to the hospital, I couldn’t be cured. My mother was so worried that she cried.
She no longer talked about business or made money. The thing she did most every day was to hold my hand and wipe away her tears.
She would give me some sweetened water to drink, which would make me feel better, but it didn't help.
My father used his connections to find the best doctor in Beijing, and my mother spent a lot of money to invite him over.
That doctor was really good. My condition gradually improved under his treatment.
After half a month, my condition stabilized, and it took another month or two before I finally recovered.
Since then, my mother has taken even better care of me.
Grandma Yufen does nothing but stays with me every day.
She plays with me, tells me stories, and also teaches me some knowledge.
With their careful care, my physical condition barely recovered to normal level before elementary school, but it was still weaker than the average person.
When I first started elementary school, I came into contact with a lot of people. Although I had a strong learning ability, I was always prone to various infectious diseases.
As far as I can remember, there are dozens of diseases that can be named.
Whenever there is an infectious disease in school, I am the first to be infected.
I was so far away from them that I don't know how I got infected.
Chickenpox, measles, mumps, as long as you can name the disease, there is no disease that I can't get.
Even with my weak and sickly constitution, I was convinced by it.
I also want to be as healthy as my brother, but my body just doesn’t live up to my expectations!
When I was 10 years old, at my mother's suggestion, I finally followed my father and brother to go running outside every morning.
My physical condition is very poor and I will be out of breath after running a few steps.
My father never dislikes me and my brother always encourages me.
With their help, I went from being out of breath after running 200 meters at the beginning to being able to run 400 meters in one breath later.
I saw my own progress and was very excited.
After persisting in exercising for a year, my health has become better and better.
When I was 11 years old, the sadness in my mother's eyes suddenly disappeared.
There were more smiles on her face, and the look in her eyes when she looked at me was much kinder than before.
Although my health is very poor, my academic performance has always been very good.
Since the first grade of elementary school, I have always been the bully in my class.
Even though I was inconsistent due to my health, I still couldn't shake my position as the top student in the grade.
Sometimes when my uncle comes back from Beijing, he can't help but praise me, saying that I am very much like him in the past.
My uncle is so outstanding, of course I want to be like him.
My uncle also taught me some study methods to help me stay in the top spot.
I am so happy to have such a good uncle!
My aunt also had good academic performance and she was admitted to the university where my uncle studied.
During the Chinese New Year, the whole family gathered together and they all said that they would definitely go to see me off in person when I go to Beijing to study.
I responded sweetly, but I was thinking in my heart.
I am still so young, just in junior high school, and it will take many years before I go to college.
But from that time on, I already had a goal in mind.
Whatever my uncle and aunt can do, I can do too!
My health was too poor to support me in traveling long distances before, but now my body has recovered and I can travel and see the world.
During the three years of junior high school, I devoted myself to studying, but I still maintained the habit of running every morning.
I can't let my body become my weakness, and I can't just fall down like this.
Studying in junior high school is not a problem for me. The only thing that worries me is my brother who doesn’t like studying.
My mother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get into high school, so she pulled me aside and whispered that she hoped I would help my brother with his homework.
My mother is so good to me. I can't bear to refuse her request.
I could only drag my brother to do his homework every day, and as soon as I saw him stop, I would find an excuse to explain the questions to him.
Every time my brother understood, he would say, “Who doesn’t know this is so easy?”
He clearly didn't know, but he still tried to act tough.
As long as he is willing to study, I won’t expose him. After all, he is my twin brother.
When he was young, he would give me his breast milk, and when he grew up, I could help him with his homework.
I heard from his mother that he didn’t want to drink breast milk. I don’t know if he disliked her lack of milk or if he simply wanted to give it to me?
No matter what the reason is, it was my brother who gave me resistance, otherwise I would never have been able to survive safely until now.
I was admitted to high school successfully, and my brother also got in with the last-place score.
He said it didn't matter, but he was so happy inside.
My brother has been like this since he was a child. He loves nothing more than pretending.
I rubbed my aching forehead and didn't expose him in the end.
When I entered high school, the study load suddenly became heavier, but my brother was still as unhurried as ever.
At this time, my mother hoped that my brother could also be admitted to university.
Well, since I'm a top student, my brother is also smart, so let me tutor him!
