Features: I want to learn from you For me, learning is just like the stage Liangying Zhang has to face. Liangying Zhang performed well, and I also want to use my sweat to add sparkling light to this stage. I want to use my efforts to perform outstandingly in the college entrance examination hall, proving with my strength: I'm as great as Liangying Zhang!" The "2005 Super Girl Contest" has long ended, but the audience's passion for the contestants has not faded. "Super Girl" remains a hot topic in every corner of the streets and alleys. Although the rankings of the Super Girls have already been determined, Li Yuchun sits in the position, while Zhou Mocheng and Liangying Zhang take the second and third places respectively. But at this moment, I only want to talk about Liangying Zhang. She is the person I respect most and want to become. Liangying Zhang was born in Sichuan. When she was fifteen, her father passed away, and her mother was hospitalized at the time. Liangying Zhang had to take on the heavy responsibility of caring for her mother. It's heart-wrenching to say, once, while she was boiling fish soup for her mother, she accidentally fell asleep, and the soup ended up boiling dry. Liangying Zhang felt extremely guilty, wondering how she could ever feed her mother now? When her mother saw the soup was gone, she asked Liangying Zhang what happened. She replied, "I accidentally fell asleep while boiling the soup." When I heard Liangying Zhang's mother say this, I couldn't help but shed tears. I never expected Liangying Zhang to be so mature and capable at such a young age. Yet on her face, I couldn't see a trace of her past hardships. Liangying Zhang buried her past sorrows deep inside and chose to face them alone with strength. This is the reason I admire her. On the other hand, I have grown up at home used to having food and clothes handed to me on a silver platter. Have I ever warmed my parents' hearts like Liangying Zhang did? After hearing this story, I reflected deeply and decided to change something. That day, while my parents were not at home, I broke the mold and cooked a meal for them. Although the dishes were burned and the rice was overcooked, my parents were still very happy, even laughing tears. In their praise, I felt I had grown up, and a faint sense of happiness surged within me. Learning from Liangying Zhang has made me taste the real "sweetness." Later, as Liangying Zhang grew older, her family was not wealthy, so she took the initiative to ask her mother if she could sing in bars to support the family and lighten her mother's burden. So, Liangying Zhang attended school during the day and sang in bars at night. With her "dolphin-like" voice, she earned a lot of money, helping to support her poor family. However, being a singer was not without its hardships. Once, a customer greatly admired her and wanted to buy her a drink, but Liangying Zhang firmly refused. As a result, she angered the customer. Liangying Zhang would rather lose that bar than get entangled with the customer and later moved to another bar. This way, she walked east to school during the day and cycled far to the west to sing in the bar, regardless of wind or rain. This is the second reason I admire her. Later, she participated in the "Super Girl" competition and, with her perseverance, went all the way to the finals, eventually ranking third. Many people thought she should have won the position, which just goes to show how talented she was. In fact, I thought the same and even sent her a text message in support—this is the only small thing I could do! Yet, even so, Liangying Zhang still lagged behind Li Yuchun in text message votes, but she still received over a million votes, which is an astronomical number in itself! To me, the most important thing is that through this competition, Liangying Zhang has become a true star, supported by countless people, and wherever she goes, she hears screams. Her charm comes from her exceptional singing skills, and her voice conquers countless audiences. I think this is inseparable from her hard work. It is the hardships she endured and the training she received in her childhood that shaped the Liangying Zhang of today. For me, learning is just like the stage Liangying Zhang has to face. Liangying Zhang performed well, and I also want to use my sweat to add sparkling light to this stage. I want to use my efforts to perform outstandingly in the college entrance examination hall,
