我老家在赣南农村,由于父亲早逝,生活的重担全压在母亲的身上,而我和两个妹妹都在上学。作为家里唯一的男性,我时常帮着母亲干一些农活。也许是干活耽误了时间,也许是自卑,初三时我的成绩滑坡很厉害,几乎是班上的倒数几名。英语成绩总在五十几分徘徊,数学也两次不及格。 My hometown was in the countryside of southern Anhui. As my father died young, the burden of life was all over the mother’s body, and both my sister and I were in school. As the only male in the family, I often help my mother do some farm work. Maybe it was work that delayed the time, maybe it was low self-esteem. In the third grade, my performance was very severe, and it was almost the bottom of the class. English scores are always more than fifty points, and mathematics failed twice.
