His life is unlimited, from a broadcaster to a security guard at Peking University
It is also the second year since Zhang Fujun came to Peking University as a security guard, as the campus of Peking University is welcoming the season of "cute and new".
When you first meet Zhang Fujun, you will definitely be amazed by his standard and fluent Mandarin. If it weren't for a gray security uniform reminding him of his profession, it would even give people the illusion of being connected to a TV host. In the short two years since coming to Peking University, he has found infinite possibilities in himself; At this vibrant moment, he was well prepared and once again devoted to his beloved work.
Obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Hosting Arts from Communication University of China, a Level 2 Certificate in Computer Self study and a Level 1B Certificate in Mandarin Proficiency Test, attending lectures from Peking University professors in civilian schools, and preparing for postgraduate entrance exams... Zhang Fujun is a part of guarding Peking University, and Peking University has given him a broader stage.
Today, let's walk into the story of Zhang Fujun, the recipient of the honorary title of "Most Beautiful Yanyuan Guardian" and the security guard of Peking University Affiliated Kindergarten.

Abandoning the establishment, he came from Xinjiang to the capital
"I want to come to Peking University to see and learn more, so that I can better experience and experience!"
When I saw Zhang Fujun at the entrance of Peking University Affiliated Kindergarten, the children happened to come home from school. This is the busiest time of the day for Zhang Fujun, who maintains order at the school gate to ensure that the children leave the campus safely.
Zhang Fujun is a native of Heilongjiang, and his career has gone through several job hopping experiences:

His first job was as an intern journalist at China Central Television, and for a long time thereafter, his love for news kept him shining in this field. His second job was as a broadcasting host in Guizhou. For his third job, he went to Xinjiang and broadcasted live on a radio station.

At the last stop, Zhang Fujun successfully passed the entrance examination for the establishment of the Integrated Media Center in Jiutai District, Changchun City, Jilin Province. But this enviable stable job cannot erase his longing for Peking University.
In April 2021, less than a week after working at the Jiutai District Integrated Media Center, Zhang Fujun resolutely resigned and came to Peking University alone, becoming a member of the university's security team. From northeast to southwest, from southwest to northwest, and then to Beijing in the north, Zhang Fujun's footsteps almost surrounded China, finally finding his desired dwelling.

The first encounter between Zhang Fujun and the term "Peking University security guard" was in a program of Newsweek. At the end of 2020, Zhang Fujun was still far away in Xinjiang. By chance, he saw Xu Wenlong, a self-taught security guard from Peking University, on a program and was impressed by his English proficiency.
It's said that Peking University security guards are crouching tigers, hiding dragons, and capable of both literature and martial arts. I just thought that even a security guard could be so skilled. I really want to go to Peking University and experience it.
From that day on, Peking University planted a seed in Zhang Fujun's heart - he wanted to come here in person and become a "Beijing adult". He felt that the call from Yanyuan often lingered in his ears, and the sound became clearer and eventually turned into a firm force, guiding him in the direction of progress.

Do some "extra things"

"Security guards belong to the service industry and are a profession of 'giving roses to others, leaving a lingering fragrance in their hands'. In the process of dedicating themselves to others, they can better find their own value."
Zhang Fujun's first stop at Peking University was the convenient passage of the hospital on campus. Here, Zhang Fujun mostly faces patients undergoing kidney dialysis. This treatment procedure is not comfortable, and most people passing through here inevitably show signs of depression and fatigue on their faces.
So Zhang Fujun decided to do something extra: every patient who passed by, whether familiar or not, would greet them. Sometimes it's "you walk slowly" or "be careful", sometimes it's a greeting, and simpler things are an expression or a smile.
Once, a patient undergoing kidney dialysis suddenly stopped and took the initiative to look back at Zhang Fujun, saying "Hello!" before leaving with a smile.
This bidirectional smile gave Zhang Fujun full motivation. "Do more" has become the life motto that Zhang Fujun adheres to. During the epidemic, the east gate was one of the important nucleic acid sampling points for the school. On weekends, during this supposed weekend break, Zhang Fujun often takes "less rest" or "only rest": he voluntarily applies to the nucleic acid testing station as a volunteer to maintain order.

In October 2021, Zhang Fujun was transferred to the affiliated kindergarten of Peking University. In the eyes of children, he is the safety guard at the school gate during the school and after-school periods, with a left fork and a right shield. In kindergarten, Zhang Fujun is still an "all rounder", helping to move heavy objects, repair toys and equipment, and so on, which are all "extra tasks" that he is willing to undertake.
In the Mid Autumn Festival of 2022, kindergarten children made some fruit candies. Several children deliberately ran to the security room, handed him the small candy bars, and shouted, "Happy holiday!" Recalling this incident, Zhang Fujun was still very excited. "I didn't expect the children to remember me, it's really heartwarming!"

At Peking University, "going to Peking University"
"Peking University has made me realize that I am not good enough. Seeing so many outstanding people, I can only keep learning and motivate myself to make progress."
Due to the lack of systematic theory in his previous studies, Zhang Fujun always felt that his shortcomings were not professional enough. After arriving at Peking University, he decided to do everything possible to enrich himself.
Due to his interest in the field of broadcasting and hosting, Zhang Fujun often searches for course resources related to broadcasting for learning. Not only does Zhang Fujun study in class, but he also self-studies outside of class - in daily life, he places great emphasis on accumulation. He often takes down some philosophical words he thinks he talks about using electronic notes; When he saw unfamiliar and rare characters, he would meticulously record them, and even now, he has collected several folders full.

Good sentences accumulated by Zhang Fujun
Zhang Fujun often holds a small blueprint in his hand, with the prominent characters "Peking University Civilian School" written on it by Shangmin. "This is the notebook I usually take notes in, it's nothing," Zhang Fujun smiled humbly. "My handwriting doesn't look good." Opening this small blueprint, rows of notes are densely packed, and sometimes two sentences of learning experience are attached next to it. Dozens of pages down, "dry goods" are full.

The Peking University Civilian School can be traced back to the "School Staff Night Class" founded by President Cai Yuanpei in 1918, which mainly targets non teachers and students of Peking University staff. Zhang Fujun seized this precious opportunity and immediately registered after hearing about it, and persisted in participating in learning every week.
Hard work pays off for those who have a heart. Through unremitting efforts, Zhang Fujun has successively obtained the National Computer Level One Qualification Certificate, the Mandarin Proficiency Test Level One Grade B Certificate, and a Bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Hosting Arts from the Communication University of China.

"The civilian school has provided us with a great opportunity to 'attend Peking University' for those who have not been admitted to the logistics system but still want to study at Peking University." Zhang Fujun commented, "This is really a heartwarming move!"

His life has no limits
"Many people here have extraordinary experiences, and each person has their own place for me to learn, which further motivates me to constantly strive and become a better version of myself."

In addition to studying and working, Zhang Fujun is still a regular at the Qiu Deba Gymnasium and the May Fourth Sports Ground. Whenever he has time, he goes to Qiu Deba for fitness and also goes to the May Fourth Sports Ground to run and exercise with his classmates. Running while listening to music is Zhang Fujun's favorite, and sometimes he can even be seen running at night. "During my break, I also watch movies, especially classic English movies with Chinese subtitles. While watching movies, I can also learn English."
In addition to daily duty in kindergarten, Zhang Fujun can also be seen in various activities at school, from the New Year's Eve celebration to the opening ceremony, from the sports meet to the international cultural festival, where he is present.

In every participation, he constantly integrates into the collective of Peking University. Speaking of his experience standing guard at the opening ceremony, Zhang Fujun was very excited. "Although I cannot attend as a freshman, I am also extremely excited to be able to protect the students who came to attend the ceremony!" These little moments formed a shared memory between Zhang Fujun and Peking University.

After receiving the honorary title of "Most Beautiful Yanyuan Guardian", Zhang Fujun has gained a new understanding of the job of security guard at Peking University. He said in an interview:
Although the profession of security is ordinary, it is an extremely important part of safeguarding campus safety. The safety wall of Peking University is built by every security guard.
Regarding the future, Zhang Fujun said he has always been on the road. He has never set limits for his life, but hopes to keep moving forward. He will continue to protect the safety of every child in his position and work hard to deepen his passion in the field of journalism. Nowadays, Zhang Fujun has embarked on the journey of preparing for graduate studies.

Life is a wilderness, not a track. Zhang Fujun has been interpreting the meaning of this sentence through his practical actions. From northeast to southwest, from northwest to the capital, his life journey has never stopped.

The time he worked at Peking University was the most important stop in his life, where every plant, every person, and every object left a deep imprint on his heart. He has found more possibilities in his life at Peking University and will continue to move forward with the gift given to him by Peking University.
