Summary

This book addresses the learning and growth challenges students face: How can we "make the classroom efficient"? Should we adopt a "sea of exercises" strategy? Should we attend after-school tutoring? Should we take part in competitions? How can we balance "study" and "extracurricular activities" with ease? How can we plan effectively? How can we overcome "procrastination"? How should we choose between "humanities" and "sciences"? How can we handle interpersonal relationships? How can we make ourselves mentally stronger? ...

Editor's review

This book breaks down the learning and growth challenges middle and high school students most often encounter into concrete questions: classroom efficiency, exercise drills and tutoring, whether to compete in contests, planning and procrastination, choosing between humanities and sciences, interpersonal relationships, inner strength, and more. Its value lies not in offering one-size-fits-all answers, but in clearly laying out the gains and losses behind each choice so readers can judge in light of their own circumstances. Compared with vague motivational preaching, this problem-oriented approach suits a book kept on the desk for quick reference: when a particular confusion arises, turn to the relevant chapter, first see how others think, then look back at your own approach. For parents, it is also a window into the real pressures their children face, helping both sides replace "you should do this" with "how can we discuss this together." Suitable for reading through at the start of a term when making plans, or consulting as needed when a specific bottleneck arises.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Students currently in middle or high school who feel lost about study methods and time management
Parents who want to understand their children's academic pressure and improve parent-child communication
Middle and high school teachers who need discussion material for class guidance or academic advising

Not a good fit for

Readers looking for quick score-boosting tricks or expecting standard answers
University students who already have a stable study system and do not need method-level advice

Reading tips

First read through the table of contents, mark the three or four issues troubling you most right now, and read those chapters first.
After each section, write one sentence describing a specific change you plan to make, and review it a week later.
Parents and children can each read a chapter and then exchange views, avoiding turning the discussion into one-sided preaching.

FAQ

Is this book a collection of experience-sharing written by Peking University students?

According to the available information, this book is written by Qin Chunhua and focuses on specific challenges in learning and growth, such as classroom efficiency, tutoring classes, competitions, planning and procrastination, and choosing between humanities and sciences. It discusses issues thematically rather than simply compiling personal stories, so readers can use it to reflect on their own situations.

Is it meaningful for students who are not aiming for Peking University to read it?

Yes. The book discusses universal challenges such as classroom efficiency, procrastination, subject choice, and interpersonal relationships, and does not depend on a particular goal. Readers can use others' ways of thinking to examine their own choices, focusing on methods and judgment rather than treating admission to a particular school as the only standard.

Can I read only the chapters that interest me?

Yes. The book is organized by question, and the chapters are relatively independent, making it suitable for reading as needed. It is advisable to first read the table of contents to locate the issues troubling you, then implement one actionable small change after reading; this is more effective than reading straight through.
