Grandparents and Grandchildren as Top Scholars
What Does an Elderly Top Scholar Mean?
Do Elderly Examinees Occupy Educational Resources?
Can Diligence Truly Compensate for Lack of Talent?
…
[This is absolutely ridiculous!]
[What can a sixty-seven-year-old top scholar do? This is retirement age, why the need to try so hard? Didn't our country's statutory retirement age for women used to be fifty-five?
The old lady should have retired more than ten years ago!
This is too much competition, it makes us feel like useless waste. My heavens, I'm going to die from this intense competition!]
[Isn't it more fulfilling to take care of grandchildren at this age?]
[They are taking care of grandchildren, and not only did they raise their grandson to be a liberal arts top scholar, but they also managed to get a science top scholar themselves! My goodness, what level of education is this? I just want to ask if Mrs. Lin offers tutoring classes, because I'll be the first to sign up!]
[I was so foolish, really. I only knew about other people's children, but I never imagined there were other people's mothers too. I was so foolish, truly so foolish…]
[Is the person above possessed by Xianglin's Sister?]
[Just now, I had a sudden inspiration and showed this news to my mother. I even said that if you could be like Mrs. Lin, I'd give birth to as many grandchildren as you want. The hospital Wi-Fi is quite good right now!]
[After reading this news, I suddenly felt enlightened and had a moment of clarity. No wonder people say that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's offspring can dig holes. This is a matter of genetics, a matter of personal talent.
Why was their grandson able to become a top scholar? Because he had a grandmother who could become a top scholar. What do I have? A family with consistently below junior high school diplomas. If my child's grades are poor, I just have to accept it.
Without this talent, it's useless no matter how hard you try!]
[Please provide a tutorial! Please, Mrs. Lin, release a parenting guide! As far as I know, her grandson was raised by her single-handedly. There must be some secret to her educational methods!]
[Heh, what's the use of being smart? No matter how smart or how capable of becoming a top scholar, it still leads to a family's ruin. You guys probably don't know, but this Mrs. Lin you admire is extremely tragic. Her husband died accidentally at a young age. She finally managed to raise her children and they got married, only for them to die in a car accident together, one instantly and the other still lying in bed needing care. I don't know if their family is just purely unlucky, or if Mrs. Lin is a jinx who brings misfortune to her husband and children.]
[A lot of what's online is actually true. The Lin family has indeed suffered greatly, and the online accounts aren't even complete. The internet only says her husband had an accident at a construction site and her children were in a car accident, with one dying instantly and the other paralyzed. But in reality, Mrs. Lin herself was in a car accident more than a year ago. She survived, but the driver who hit her and the passenger in the front seat both died.
Before, I didn't think there was anything strange, I just thought their family was very unlucky. But now it seems that Mrs. Lin's fate is indeed quite formidable, and she brings misfortune.]
[I'm speechless. A bunch of people are discussing feudal superstitions under the news of someone becoming a top scholar. Do you think this is appropriate? Why don't you go to a research institute and perform a ritual dance?]
[Exactly. What do students learn? Students learn scientific knowledge, they learn to break free from feudal superstitions and avoid supernatural beliefs. Yet now, a group of people are openly discussing that a top scholar has a bad destiny.
Is this human behavior?]
[Some people should stop always bringing up science. Not everything in this world can be explained by science. I've seen many unlucky people, but their level of misfortune is definitely extremely rare.
If you ask me, either Mrs. Lin is indeed fated to be tough, perhaps with a destiny of a solitary star that brings doom, or there's something wrong with their ancestral grave's feng shui.
But that shouldn't be the case.
I haven't heard of any problems with her other siblings.
So I think the probability of problems with their ancestral grave's feng shui is relatively low. It's more likely that Mrs. Lin's fate is just too formidable, bringing misfortune to everything she touches!]
[That's true. I remember Mrs. Lin's father-in-law and mother-in-law are still alive and well. One is eighty-six and the other is ninety-one. Her younger brother-in-law's family is also fine, all intact.
It's just that their immediate family is small, and there are many early deaths due to accidents.
I remember Mrs. Lin's father-in-law and mother-in-law chose not to live with their eldest son, but with their younger son. There was a lot of gossip about it. My heavens, could it be that their parents already knew their daughter-in-law brought misfortune? But that shouldn't be the case!
How could a biological father and mother know their daughter-in-law brings misfortune.
And still let their son marry her?]
[My goodness, Mrs. Lin has directly announced that she will be applying to the best medical school. So, she took the college entrance exam primarily for her daughter?
This maternal love is too great…]
[It's truly touching. Maternal love is indeed omnipotent. Perhaps this is a miracle!]
[So what does she intend to do? Does she think that by taking the college entrance exam and attending medical school, she can research a medicine or method to restore her daughter's health?
No way, no way…
Does anyone really think they're some peerless genius who can achieve something so easily?]
[Some people are so sarcastic it's nauseating. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, at least they've tried their best and done everything they could, unlike some people who just stand on the sidelines and make snide remarks. Forget it, I'm soft-hearted and can't say anything curse-like. I'm tired!]
[Our school teachers and principal are almost dying of laughter. This is equivalent to getting two top scholars for free!]
[I guess the rewards from various sources won't be small.]
[Um, if Mrs. Lin and her grandson both go to university, what will happen to their paralyzed family member? Will there be no one to care for them? Or will they bring them along to university?]
[It's best not to worry too much about other people's affairs. If you have time, use this news to motivate your own children, especially the upcoming third-year high school students who will be taking the college entrance exam next year. Look at their grades!]
…
The online clamor did not affect Ding Yun and her grandson as they chose their schools and majors according to their own wishes.
During the process, Ding Yun of course also comforted her grandson, strongly supporting him in choosing the major he wanted, telling him not to worry too much and to only consider his interests.
After such persuasion.
Ding Yun naturally chose medical school.
The medical school at the forefront of neurological research in the country.
Her grandson, after much deliberation, finally chose law. According to him, he didn't have any particular hobbies. He wasn't very fond of medicine and didn't feel he had much talent in that area.
And recently, seeking compensation had been so difficult.
Therefore, he logically felt that studying law would also be a good choice.
