In the cultural background of "Wangzi Jackie Chan, Wangnu Chengfeng", under the system of "college entrance examination for life", there is no shortage of "prodigies" in China, such as knowing more than 1,000 Chinese characters at the age of 2 and a half, going to college at the age of 10, and continuously refreshing Zhang Jujiao, who is "China's smallest college student", "China's smallest master's student", and "China's smallest doctoral student"; primary school directly entered the juvenile class. Xie Yanbo, who went to HKUST at the age of 11 and studied for a doctorate at the age of 18; Xie Yanbo, who took the college entrance examination at the age of 14 and won the title of science in Henan Province with a standard score of 750 points, and He Jade, who was admitted to Tsinghua University, are all amazing.
The one introduced to you today also has an extraordinary history of growth: his name is Fan Shukai, born on December 24, 1999 in Hequ County, Shanxi, his father is a local civil servant, his mother is a middle school mathematics teacher, which is considered to be the easiest family combination to cultivate academic bullies, because such a family, with resources, culture, time, in the education of children, there are unique conditions. When Fan Shukai was not yet born, his parents had already begun to plan how to educate their children, When Fan Shukai was 1 year old, his mother often read poetry and stories in front of him, when the child was learning to speak, she read while reading, while writing down Chinese characters, teaching children to recognize words, his father used playing cards to teach children to recognize numbers, calculations, under such exquisite early enlightenment, at the age of 2, Fan Shukai knew more than 1,000 Chinese characters, and would add and subtract within 10, which made his parents excited, at the age of 3, Mothers began to teach their children to learn English, they raced against the clock to teach children to read and write, while other children were still watching "Happy Sheep vs Gray Wolf", Fan Shukai has dabbled in language, mathematics, history, geography and other aspects of knowledge.
Fan Shukai's parents believe that kindergarten can not make their children excellent, so they choose to teach their children, at the age of 4 they learned most of the knowledge of primary school, at the age of 5 Fan Shukai was sent directly to the primary school, but because he has basically completed the knowledge of primary school, so the primary school is from the 4th grade, and the first exam took the first place in the grade. In this way, after graduating from primary school, 7-year-old Fan Shukai was promoted to the experimental junior high school where his mother was, in junior high school, he did not skip grades, studied hard, read widely, and his family invested tens of thousands of yuan in books. At the age of 10, Fan Shukai was admitted to the best local high school, high school study, or let him feel the pressure, he studied harder, each mock exam score is about 600 points, which is a very good result, but there is still a certain distance from Tsinghua University, and finally Fan Shukai's college entrance examination score is 601 points, and his own estimation of 605 points difference of 4 points, such a score, can go to a 985 university, but how did he go to Tsinghua University? This is mainly due to the "rural special" policy implemented in that year, benefiting from this policy, 13-year-old Fan Shukai realized his dream at Tsinghua University, and now, Fan Shukai has graduated from college, Fan Shukai chose to continue his studies at Tsinghua University and is studying at Tsinghua University as a graduate student.
Receiving a notice from Tsinghua University caused a sensation, but Fan Shukai was not complacent, he looked at all this very calmly, and denied that he was a "prodigy", he said: "I think I am not a prodigy, I read early, because my family is poor. ”
For the question of whether it is a "prodigy", Fan Shukai's parents have the most say, Fan Shukai's father said: "Children are actually nothing special, the main thing is to persist well, and never slacken in learning." His mother said: "The child is small, highly malleable, all under the guidance of adults, can not let go, when he was a child, he was accustomed to relying on problems, and it was not easy to correct when he was older." ”
Some people say that "prodigies" are born, but we have seen various reports on "prodigies", and found that behind every prodigy, there is a family that carefully cultivates children, in terms of learning, we cannot deny the existence of talent, just like music has talent, sports have talent, learning culture classes must also have talent, but any talent, can not lack the cultivation and effort of the day after tomorrow, which makes the boundary between talent and effort blurred. It is difficult to say whether it is talent or acquired cultivation that plays a role in the end.
A gifted child, like a "gold mine", buried deep in the ground, needs to be excavated through hard work, otherwise it may not be able to see the light of day, of course, if it is not a mine itself, no matter how hard you try to dig, in the end there is no result. However, the IQ of most people is almost the same, and the IQ can also be cultivated and developed in the day after tomorrow, which makes the education of the day after tomorrow very important, and in the education of the day after tomorrow, the most basic and most important is family education!
Therefore, do not deny the existence of talent, but also can not go to the extreme of "talent determinism", if the child is not a figure like Einstein, the role of talent in his learning is far less important than the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, so do not use talent as an excuse for laziness or evasion of responsibility.
Of course, I do not hope to cultivate any "prodigy", in the child's growth process, it is best not to violate the law, some of the things that should be experienced, sooner or later must be experienced, otherwise life is not sound, learning is not the only life, nor is it the ultimate goal of life, a 13-year-old student, to go to college with 18-year-old students, but also Tsinghua University such a competitive pressure of such a school, physical and mental health may not be guaranteed, Fan Shukai in Tsinghua University undergraduate, He once took a year off from school for physical reasons, but in the end he overcame the difficulties and successfully went to graduate school, and we can also feel the pressure he was under.
Wang Anshi once wrote the famous "Wounded Zhongyong", has warned future generations in advance, now among the many "prodigies", there are talents, there are many people who have destroyed everyone, parents should pay attention to the cultivation of their children, but they must not use their children as their own "tools", such as Henan "prodigy" Zhang Yiwen, 9 years old to enter the university, 10 years old through re-study, took a single recruit to go to a three-book university, became a tool for his father to publicize "private school education". Cultivate children, make children more excellent, be able to choose the life they like, have a sound personality, live as he likes, rather than the way parents hope, this is the key, of course, parents should also have their own lives, children can not become the whole of life, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
