She knew more than 2,000 words at the age of four, took the college entrance examination at the age of nine, went to college at the age of ten, and graduated from college at the age of thirteen, and for a time became a "prodigy" that people spread by word of mouth.
Young Zhang Yiwen
Zhang Yiwen was born in 2007 to a family in Shangqiu, Henan. Before the age of four, Zhang Yiwen lived a carefree life like other children, and in her childhood, she had playmates who grew up together, parents who loved her, and fun games.
Later, Zhang Yiwen reached the age of kindergarten, and his father Zhang Mintao reluctantly sent his daughter to kindergarten in order to let his daughter learn better.
Zhang Mintao originally thought that his daughter would learn a lot of words, numbers and other knowledge in kindergarten, but every time her daughter came home from school, her daughter's answer was only a variety of games and toys, etc. Zhang Yiwen's father began to be a little anxious, he wanted his child to win on the starting line, but his child seemed to only want to play every day.
So Zhang Yiwen's father began to suggest that kindergartens teach more primary school knowledge and primary schools to make kindergarten curricula. There is no doubt that Zhang Yiwen's father's proposal, which is not in line with the laws of education, has not been approved by the kindergarten, and Zhang Yiwen's father believes that the kindergarten is "delaying" his children.
Zhang Yiwen's father did not recognize the kindergarten's educational concepts of "one-day life is education", "playing in middle school, playing in learning", "conventional training", etc., so he resolutely took his children back home from kindergarten, zhang Yiwen's father decided to personally cultivate children and let the children win on the starting line.
Because his father set up training classes, he was sometimes very busy and often could not take care of Zhang Yiwen's study, so most of the time Zhang Yiwen studied with his mother.
Start a man-made "prodigy"
In the first year of being picked up by her father from kindergarten, Zhang Yiwen was full of enthusiasm for learning, and she knew more than 2,000 words in a year. This not only made Zhang Yiwen's father more determined in his choice, but he also began to believe that his daughter was a "prodigy".
He began to make a time plan for his daughter's success, and he thought that after his training, his daughter would take the college entrance examination at the age of nine, enter the university at the age of ten, graduate with a doctorate at the age of twenty, and then engage in scientific research to achieve the desire to enter the upper class.
Such a plan sounds really heartwarming, and the news that Zhang Yiwen knew more than two thousand words at the age of four also began to go away, and in the envious eyes of everyone, this "artificial prodigy" began her fast-paced learning life. So will Zhang Yiwen's father's way of education that promotes seedlings be successful?
Just because of his father's dream of cultivating "prodigies", Zhang Yiwen, who was supposed to enter kindergarten, began to learn all the knowledge from primary school to high school in his father's training class. At the age when others should play, Zhang Yiwen prematurely fell into a sea of problems beyond her cognition.
At that time, although she did not understand why she learned so much more than her peers, and why she could not sit in the classroom with clean windows like an ordinary child, she believed that her father's "cramming education" was not wrong.
Day after day, year after year, this year Zhang Yiwen was nine years old, and under the efforts of his father, Zhang Yiwen, who was only nine years old, took the college entrance examination that year. Everyone thought the nine-year-old girl would do a miracle, but that year Zhang Yiwen only scored 172 points.
Everything is taken for granted, the nine-year-old is not yet mentally and physically mature, and the knowledge she can reserve and digest is also limited, and it is not easy to score 172 points
After this college entrance examination, Zhang Yiwen's father was not discouraged, he believed that his daughter would definitely be admitted to college, and he believed that this failure was only the reason why his education was not in place.
So he sent his children to a more professional college entrance examination tutoring institution, and after just four months of study, Zhang Yiwen was admitted to the electronic information engineering technology major of Shangqiu Institute of Technology with a score of 352 points in the single-stroke examination.
Become a robot
Zhang Yiwen became a "golden signboard" of his father's training class, and he began to constantly ask his parents for advice to advocate his cramming education method, he believed that children can enter the university prematurely, which can not only save education costs, but also have a lot of room for children's future development.
More and more parents have sent their children to Zhang Yiwen's father's cram school, expecting their children to become a second "prodigy".
Today, Zhang Yiwen's father's "prodigy" wish has been half realized, but Zhang Yiwen, who entered the university at the age of ten, found that she began to be incompatible with the surrounding environment, and when her classmates talked about some things, her ideas always seemed very immature, and some topics she could not understand at all.
Although everyone is willing to help her, she still feels like an outlier. In terms of life, Zhang Yiwen also has a lot of unsuitable places, for example, she can't reach the machine when she swipes her card when she eats, and she always needs others to help her.
In other aspects, Zhang Yiwen also needs to work extra hard to achieve similar results as others. Zhang Yiwen's arrival also brought a lot of inconvenience to her classmates and teachers, and some female students would joke that they were giving Zhang Yiwen a mother, and the teacher also needed to consider whether Zhang Yiwen could understand when lecturing.
Zhang Yiwen began to become taciturn, she did not know how she could break through the shackles of age, can get along with people who are more than ten years older than her, she began to try to get along with her peers, but in the process of getting along, she was more mature than her peers, and she could not understand the thoughts of her peers, and slowly Zhang Yiwen, who was originally lively and cheerful, began to smile very little.
The prodigy project failed
In 2020, Zhang Yiwen graduated from Shangqiu Institute of Technology, Zhang Yiwen's father's "prodigy" plan began to move again, and the teachers at Zhang Yiwen's school did not recommend Zhang Yiwen to continue to study in the college, because Zhang Yiwen's foundation had some weaknesses, the entrance examination was too difficult for a teenager, and Zhang Yiwen should not become a learning machine.
Zhizi is like a father, Zhang Yiwen's father also knows the level of his daughter's cultural class, compared to other college students who are steady and steady, she needs to work harder to make up for the gap in the speed, so she also chose to give up the plan to let her daughter go to the next level.
After graduation, Zhang Yiwen was only 13 years old, and because he was not yet of legal working age, Zhang Yiwen's father asked his daughter to help in his training institution.
Zhang Yiwen's father attributed Zhang Yiwen's failure to his own lax discipline, so Zhang Yiwen was often harshly reprimanded by his father when he worked at his father's training institution, and as long as she made a mistake, his father would deduct her salary, and sometimes Zhang Yiwen's salary was deducted less than a thousand.
Zhang Yiwen is still very young, as a teacher, she is lacking in comprehensive quality and professional ability, and although her father who hates iron and steel is angry, his ability is not like knowledge, and it is difficult to achieve quickly.
As Zhang Yiwen grew up slowly, she also gradually began to have her own thoughts, and there began to be a contradiction between father and daughter, and it is still unknown how her future will be, I only hope that she can finally spread her wings and fly high.
The People's Daily once had an article titled "Life Cautiously Presses the 'Acceleration Key'", which specifically questioned Zhang Yiwen's father's approach. The article points out that the success of education should be looked at from multiple angles, and it must not only be measured by "early" and "fast" in time, and excessive anxiety and comparison must be harmful. Ten years of trees and a hundred years of tree people, let's wait for the flowers to bloom together.
