From Security Guard to University Lecturer A high-school dropout who taught himself while working to pay off family debts has made national headlines after graduating with a doctor􀆳s degree and landing a teaching job at a university. Li Mingyong attributed his success to not being afraid to lose, and a determination to hit his target. Born in a remote village, Li Mingyong had to quit school at age 16 after his family members fell ill—despite always being in the top three of his class. In 1999, Li worked as a security guard at Guizhou Education University, and influenced by the campus atmosphere, he decided to continue his studies. For about two years, he found time to study during school hours and continued after 11:30 pm. He was admitted to an associate degree course, which did not require full-time study, taking the Higher Education Examinations for Self- taught Adults. He was admitted to a bachelor􀆳s degree course two years later. And in 2007, Li was admitted to a master􀆳s programme, working part time as a tutor to support himself. In 2015, he was admitted to a doctorate programme, and graduated in 2018. He chose to go back to Guizhou Education University, where his destiny was changed, to teach in the School of Culture and Media. 16 岁辍学,22 岁进高校当保安, 41 岁博士毕业,成为一名高校教师,李 明勇的励志故事告诉我们:生活给我 们的每一个麻烦都能成为我们成功的 垫脚石。 我们战胜困难的方法就是永 不放弃! 【知识点击】 1. attribute vt. 把……归于 2. hit his target 达到他的目标 3. an associate degree course 一个 肄业证书课程 4. doctorate n. 博士学位 5. destiny n. 命运 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋
