China's college entrance examination has created many "prodigies", and Zhang Zhongjiao is one of them.
Zhang Chiong is a gifted child! When he was 2 and a half years old, in just 3 months, he knew more than 1,000 Chinese characters; 4 years old read the first grade of primary school, the content of learning was too simple for him, there was no challenge, 6 years old to enter the fifth grade, this is already an ordinary person can not complete the jump, but for Zhang Jujiao, this is too "pediatric", the content of junior high school is equally simple for him, so continue to skip the grade, 9 years old directly to the third year of high school, 10 years old to participate in the college entrance examination, with a score of 510 points into Tianjin Engineer Fan College, Become the youngest college student in the country. In 2008, 13-year-old Zhang Zhongjiao passed the re-examination of the master's degree of Beijing University of Technology, becoming the youngest master's student in the country. In 2011, at the age of 16, he became the youngest doctoral student and was admitted to the mathematics major of Beihang Airlines.
Like most "prodigies", behind Zhang's seeming success, it is also full of controversy:
One is that in 2011, during the defense of his master's thesis, 16-year-old Zhang Juju forced his parents to buy a house in Beijing and live a "person-on-earth" life, otherwise they would not participate in the thesis defense, and their parents compromised, rented a house in Beijing, and tricked him into continuing to complete his studies. Although netizens feel sorry for Zhang Jujiong's parents, because when buying a house, although the house price has risen, but now it has doubled several times, and then one is to buy a house now, not necessarily eligible, if from this point of view, at that time, renting a house is really not as good as buying a house, but who can understand the difficulties of Zhang Jujiao's parents?
The other is what is the current situation of Zhang Zhongjiao? Some people say that he has not graduated with a doctorate in 8 years, and some people say that he is now a research plan of a certain institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in order to keep it secret, and in order not to affect his scientific research, the media has not reported him. For the genius teenager, people hold all kinds of ideas to "spy" on his future, some people are curious, some people mock, some people expect, even if he becomes a researcher, in many people's hearts may also be sorry for his "prodigy" achievements, if the doctorate did not graduate, it will bring more cynicism.
CCTV once conducted an exclusive interview with Zhang Zhongjiao, and through in-depth exchanges with Zhang Juju and his parents, it truly reproduced the original life and ideas of this family, and also gave us great inspiration.
Is a "child prodigy" born?
Some people say that Zhang Zhongjiao drank the invalid "Meng Po soup", because his learning experience is unimaginable to ordinary people, but China has never lacked such a "prodigy" as Zhang Zhongjiao, the so-called "prodigy", which is actually the result of early brain and intellectual development.
Zhang's father is a civil servant and his mother is a primary school teacher, which is recognized as the most conducive family combination for raising children. Zhang's father, born in the countryside, was a college student in 1978, and in 1990, he was admitted to the first MBA class of the business school of Chinese Min University with excellent results, but because he could not get 15,000 yuan of tuition, he had to give up.
Zhang Huixiang, who gave birth to Zhang Zhongxiang at the age of 36, has not much future in his career, and his biggest wish is to educate his children well, so he is both the father of the child and the teacher of the child, carrying a stick all day long, going to where to teach his son to write, more than ten years, as long as the child is there, their husband and wife have never watched TV, and they have hardly received guests at home.
Few people can do this, and you can imagine why we can't cultivate "prodigies".
Second, is the "building theory" feasible?
In Zhang Huixiang's educational philosophy, there is a "building theory": first build the building, and then decorate. Is it okay to build a building, but is it okay to educate?
In Zhang Jujiong's view, this is a quick success, if "not even reinforced concrete", the first building will build "the building fell to", "the building is brittle", just to avoid geological disasters.
And it turns out that Zhang Zhongjiao's understanding is not wrong! Although he tried his best to avoid the mistakes of the previous "prodigy", 13-year-old Zhang Juju also hung up the subject because of his obsession with the Internet during his graduate school, and almost failed to graduate, and there was a great contradiction between father and son, and his father used a pot of boiling water to reimburse the computer.
In fact, it is not so much a fascination with the game as it is an escape from stress! Because he was a child, he was on a smooth boat, so during his master's degree, he did not have a solid foundation, the gap between him and his classmates was getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure he was under was getting bigger and bigger, so escaping became the best choice for Zhang Zhongjiao, who was mentally immature, and he even had suicidal thoughts.
Insufficient knowledge can be compensated for, but the immature mind brings problems, and it is difficult to return to make up for it.
Third, is the "theory of buying a house" far-sighted or selfish and inferior?
For the problem of buying a house in Beijing, some netizens said that this is Zhang Zhongjiong's foresight, has predicted the rapid rise in house prices in the future, and even said that the biggest tragedy of genius is that his parents' growth cannot catch up with his speed. In fact, this is nonsense, at that time, forcing parents to buy a house, the main reason came from selfish ideas after inferiority.
At first, there was this idea, when Zhang Zhongjiao complained about the high housing prices in Beijing, his classmates said a sentence "If you think that Beijing housing prices are high, you will go back to your hometown", which deeply stimulated Zhang Jujiao, who has been the "best" child since childhood, and also wants to live the best life, in his opinion, the best life is: have a good job, Beijing has a house, Beijing hukou! Without that, he's not qualified to be in a relationship.
For a 16-year-old teenager with immature mind, Zhang Zhongjiao is inferior, admitted to the postdoctoral, his pressure is even greater, because his classmates are all adults, more or less have income, and Zhang Zhongjiao's family, but can be said to be "four walls of the family", "no strengths", only a few sets of ordinary clothes throughout the year, the only pair of brand sneakers, or a gift from his second aunt to him.
Of course, forcing parents to buy a house in full, there is another reason is to solve their own worries, you can free your hands and feet to achieve your dreams.
Are you willing to cultivate a "genius"?
After watching Zhang Zhongjiao's experience, I thought of the genius teenager Ah Bing in the TV series "Dark Calculation", a blind man with surprisingly good hearing, who experienced the tragedy of "the peak of the world", and the "prodigy" seemed to have these trajectories.
Zhang Huixiang's education is both successful and unsuccessful, and I often think again, if he did not "pull up seedlings and promote growth" so much, but turned to more practical planning and attentive companionship, this child must be better than ordinary children, and more happy.
For the "prodigy", they are lucky and unfortunate, the genius prodigy does not necessarily mean that he can become a talent, and being able to become a prodigy does not necessarily mean that he can succeed, because success requires not only high INTELLIGENCE, but also high moral and emotional intelligence. I hope that my children can grow up healthy and happy than prodigies.
Do you envy supernatural powers? Are you willing to make your child a child prodigy? Feel free to leave a comment to discuss and say what you really think.
I am "winning in the third year of high school", focusing on education, answering education questions with heart, welcome to pay attention!
