Chen Linqiong, a 24-year-old Chaoshan girl, has become the focus of public attention because of her inspirational experience of "anti-cancer postgraduate entrance examination" and "405 points in the first postgraduate entrance examination". When receiving a call from Nandu reporter, Chen Linqiong jokingly said: "there have been too many media interviews recently, and there is not much time to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination." At the same time, she can help everyone to spread her experience through the media. This coincides with what she said when she told her experience in the video during the new year's day this year. "If you want to watch this video, you can think of a girl who has been successful in anti-cancer and took the postgraduate entrance examination, then you can." Last January, she was unfortunately diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. 3 times of chemotherapy and 30 times of radiotherapy; In three days, she pulled out four teeth, her mouth was full of ulcers, and her neck began to fester... In six months, she struggled with the disease many times, which was a great challenge in life. She also took the initiative to launch another difficult challenge: unwilling to be behind others, she decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination while fighting cancer. Even in the face of two major difficulties: difficulty in concentration and physical discomfort after treatment, Chen Linqiong is still immersed in preparing for the exam. In addition to lunch break and evening break, I study at other times every day, and even eat and watch online classes. More than half a month ago, the results of the first postgraduate entrance examination were officially announced. 405 points, "dream to test 400 points", she realized her dream and wept with joy. The next dream is to successfully pass the re examination and truly become a graduate student in psychology of Guangzhou University. "Originally, psychology was just my interest, but now, I want to take it as my life direction. I hope I can take the direction of psychological counseling in the future." Chen Linqiong told Nandu reporters. Origin Because love, no matter how hard you work, you can stick to it Nandu: How did you find out that your body was in trouble at the beginning? What's the current physical condition? Chen Linqiong: after graduating from university in 2019, she has been engaged in marketing. In January last year, she was preparing to change jobs to Guangzhou, but she received a highly suspicious report of nasopharyngeal carcinoma a few days before joining the job, and then began further examination and treatment. The treatment was finished at the end of May last year. Now it only needs to be rechecked on time. However, due to three times of chemotherapy and more than 30 times of radiotherapy, the body suffered physical and chemical damage, resulting in problems such as damage to salivary glands and deterioration of intestines and stomach. Now the body is gradually recovering, but we still need to take some drugs to regulate the intestines and stomach and supplement vitamins. Nandu: after the diagnosis of cancer, why set the goal of this stage of life as the postgraduate entrance examination? Chen Linqiong: because the treatment takes about half a year, and then I need to rest for a long time after the treatment, I think about how to make good use of this time. After all, I am only 24 years old and still in the rising stage of my career. If I suddenly stop, I will fall behind my peers. After being diagnosed with cancer in January, after a month of repeated thinking, I made up my mind to take the postgraduate entrance examination in February. In fact, I didn't think about taking the postgraduate entrance examination before. I just wanted to improve my education, such as getting an MBA after working for a few years. After all, the postgraduate entrance examination is an activity that needs to calm down to learn. In the past, I was not a learning person and preferred to participate in practical activities. So choosing postgraduate entrance examination is actually a great challenge for me. Because I have graduated for more than two years, I have no learning state; If I wasn't particularly interested in psychology, just to get a graduate degree, I might not do it. So hard can persist, but also because they really like it. Process Devote yourself to study and even watch online classes for dinner Nandu: How did you spend that time preparing for the exam? Chen Linqiong: the concentration of concentration and the physical problems after treatment are the two major difficulties I actually encountered in preparing for the exam. At first, I tried to take the book to the ward or listen to online classes in the ward, but it was difficult to concentrate and concentrate, and I was very uncomfortable during the treatment. When the treatment was finished at the end of May, I went home and carefully planned the arrangement of postgraduate entrance examination. At that time, the body will also have all kinds of discomfort, such as severe neck pain, heart discomfort and so on; So I just watch online classes every day and don't dare to put too much pressure on myself. In September, the body recovered and devoted himself to learning. In terms of specific arrangements, generally get up around 7 a.m. and go to bed at 12 p.m. In addition to lunch break and evening break, I study at other times every day, and even eat and watch online classes. I feel that I don't have the efforts of others. After all, many people who take the postgraduate entrance examination get up at more than 6 a.m. Nandu: in the difficult preparation process, what makes you stick to it? Chen Linqiong: I think it's a love of psychology. After graduation for a period of time and a little life experience, it will be very different to study again. I may have been a little rigid in the past. I just memorized the knowledge points simply and didn't associate them with my own experience. I feel very boring. But now when we study politics, history, philosophy and other knowledge, we will have thinking and perception, which makes us feel very interesting. harvest I found my life direction in my interest Nandu: How did you feel when you saw 405 points in your first postgraduate entrance examination? Chen Linqiong: after the exam in December last year, I took a month off in January this year. After the Spring Festival, I came to Guangzhou and found a job I like. At that time, I thought it would be good to stay in Guangzhou to work even if I couldn't get into the postgraduate examination. If I was well prepared, I would have a sense of security. I often tell my friends that I want to get 400 points in my dream, but the topic of this year's professional course is different from that in previous years, and I haven't been too sure. Therefore, when I found out my initial test results, I was very excited and super happy. I felt that I had worked hard for so long and everything was worth it, and then I cried with joy. Nandu: what was your biggest gain in the past year? Chen Linqiong: the state of self-discipline will be a great harvest. Although I used to like reading books, it has been difficult to calm down and learn in recent years due to the influence of mobile phones and short videos. Now the postgraduate entrance examination enables me to concentrate and concentrate on learning knowledge, which is very valuable. Another harvest is to find your own direction in life. In the past, my dream was to start a business. Therefore, I planned to start from marketing, and my work is also related to this. But this illness changed my mind. I had depression for a long time during treatment. I often cried secretly in the middle of the night and even went to see a psychologist. Recalling that experience, I feel that the psychological problems of the sick group will be more prominent, but even so, I went to see a psychologist not because of depression and other emotional problems, but because of insomnia. Nowadays, young people are under great mental pressure, but they rarely take the initiative to seek the help of professional psychologists. Originally, psychology was just my interest, but now, I want to take it as my life direction. I hope I can take the direction of psychological counseling in the future. Nandu: do you share your own experience in Kwai Kong side exams, because of this life goal? Chen Linqiong: the video was first shared in March last year (after the first chemotherapy). At that time, the purpose was to remind young people to pay attention to their body. I hope you can cherish your body after seeing my video. After all, people feel that ordinary life is very valuable only after they are ill. In fact, having a healthy body has been envied by many people. After the video was sent out, I received a lot of encouragement from people who encouraged me to move forward by sharing their experiences. When I saw my videos and news reports, many people also left me messages saying that my experience strengthened their confidence in taking the postgraduate entrance examination again after they failed. Seeing these messages, I think what I do is very meaningful. My life dream is to hope that I can have more and better influence on the world and others. Through this thing, I have realized a large part of the value of my life. After that, I will continue to operate my we media platform, hoping to help more young people in the society by sharing my experience and insights. Prospect I hope to successfully pass the re examination and engage in psychological counseling in the future Nandu: who do you want to thank most when you walk down the road? Chen Linqiong: that must be my parents. When I was ill, they were under much greater psychological pressure than me. For example, the economic pressure of treatment is very great. Behind it is my father who has been carrying it silently; During the treatment, my mother took care of me all the time, and she was also the one who suffered my irritability caused by the treatment. I choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination and choose the life I want, also because of their support. Nandu: what are your plans and expectations for the future? Chen Linqiong: at this stage, I hope I can successfully pass the retest, and then go to Guangzhou University to study as a graduate student in psychology. During graduate school, I also hope to have practice in psychological counseling and share psychology related knowledge on our media platform. In the future, I hope I can also engage in psychological counseling. (Xinhua News Agency)
