In China, there has always been a fable about "Sai Weng lost his horse", which refers to the fact that good things may turn into bad things, and bad things can also become good things.
Life is full of uncertainty in such fluctuations, so it is impossible to judge which life is good.
Many parents are hopeful that their children will study well, and finally find a good job and live a decent life. But in this process, children need to go through a lot of trials and setbacks.
And some children who are talented, have good grades, and learn things quickly, although they often become the envy of their classmates, they also have many of their own confusions.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >01 China's youngest undergraduate and graduate student: prodigy Zhang Jujiao</h1>
Zhang Isong is such a child prodigy, even in recent decades, his talent has been able to rank first in the country.
He was admitted to graduate school at the age of 13 and passed the doctoral defense at the age of 16, setting a new record for the youngest undergraduate and graduate students in the country.
Such a genius, anyone will feel that he will be able to become a very good talent in the future and live an incomparably easy life.
But his future, like many other people of his age, is nothing special.
In July 1995, Zhang was born in a small county town in Liaoning Province. It was a sweltering day, and even as one of China's northernmost provinces, Liaoning was extremely hot.
Therefore, Zhang Huixiang, zhang's father, named his son "Burning", which has the meaning of fiery sunshine.
This name has accompanied Zhang Zhongjiao for decades, and he has also shone and dazzling in these years as the name has been.
At first, Zhang Zhongjiong behaved like no different from other children, learning to walk at the age of one and being able to speak clearly at the age of two.
Zhang Huixiang is a grassroots cadre in the street, has a certain cultural literacy, and likes to read books very much. Sometimes, he would suddenly read a paragraph to Xiao Zhang. Whether it is useful or not, at least cultivate it.
But surprisingly, Zhang Soon learned these passages and was even able to recite them.
Zhang Huixiang was very surprised, and he bought some early education materials for Zhang Jujiao and taught him to learn Chinese characters.
At the age of two years and one month, Zhang Zhongjiao began to learn words, and only three months later, a thick textbook with more than a thousand new words was learned by Zhang Zhongjiao.
With the idea of not pulling up seedlings to help them grow, Zhang Huixiang still waited until Zhang Washuo was five years old before letting him go to primary school. But Zhang's cleverness can no longer be concealed, and it is strange to say that the thick accumulation of thin hair is particularly reasonable for him to use in him who is only in elementary school three years later.
Because Zhang Had accumulated a considerable level of literacy and arithmetic before going to school, he did not have the slightest pressure in the first grade of primary school.
After the affirmation of the teacher and the consent of the parents, the school arranged Zhang Zhongjiao to the second grade.
Parents and teachers who thought that they would almost skip the first level were once again stunned: in just two weeks, Zhang Zhongjiao learned the content of the second grade and the first semester of the second grade, and scored a hundred points in the door.
In desperation, Zhang Zhongjiao went to the third grade. This time he finally paused for a while, and it took him three months to finish the content, but it was surprising enough.
Since it was already the end of the semester, the school planned to let Zhang Goju go to the fifth grade at the beginning of the next semester.
Zhang's fifth grade only took two months to finish, and the sixth grade did not stop him for too long. According to the local regulations of the primary school, Zhang Had to stay in the sixth grade for another six months before taking the primary examination in the summer of 2002.
Junior high school learned a lot of new knowledge, not only the learning content is more in-depth, the subject has also become rich.
This made Zhang Feel Some Difficulties, so he followed the class to finish the first and second grades normally.
In the third year of junior high school, Zhang Zhongjiong told the teacher that he had learned all these things and wanted to go home to rest. The teacher only thought he was talking nonsense, and he was not at ease.
Who knew that Zhang Zhongjiao actually made a big fuss about this and refused to attend class. In desperation, Zhang Huixiang took Zhang Zhongjiao to his home. At home, Zhang taught courses on her own and previewed some of the high school content.
During the middle school entrance examination, Zhang Zhongjiong was successfully admitted to the county high school, and the six months he returned home did not have the slightest impact on his grades.
But perhaps during this time, his genius was completely developed freely, and he proved to his parents in the summer before the beginning of the school year that he had completed all the contents of the first year of high school, so he wanted to go directly to the third year of high school.
His parents took him to high school and found the principal. After inspection, Zhang Zhongjiao did have the qualifications and ability to directly study in the third year of high school, so when the school started, Zhang Zhongjiao was directly assigned to the third year of high school and became a "transfer student".
Soon, Zhang Zhongjiao ushered in the college entrance examination. This outrageous scene shocked the entire county and even attracted many media reporters in Beijing.
Due to the policy restrictions at that time, Zhang Zhongjiao, who was very young, did not even apply for his own identity card, and the registration for the college entrance examination was still completed by using the household registration certificate issued by the police station.
But Zhang's college entrance examination is no different from other candidates, at most it is difficult to find in the crowd. After the end of the college entrance examination, Zhang Zhongjiong achieved a score of 505 points, surpassing the local second main line by several tens.
Zhang Gave up re-reading and directly filled in the volunteer at Tianjin Engineer Fan College. He became the youngest undergraduate student in the country, which made him very proud.
Later, after studying hard, Zhang Washig was admitted to beijing university of technology as a master's student. That year, Mr. Zhang was only 13 years old, and his former classmate had just graduated from elementary school.
But before 16-year-old Zhang Wasjue was admitted to the doctorate, something happened that surprised anyone else. On the eve of the defense of his doctoral dissertation, Zhang Juju unusually showed complete rebellion, refused to participate in the defense, and even threatened to give up Theobo.
At first, the parents only thought that the child might be too stressed and impulsive, so they repeatedly persuaded, but did not receive results. Zhang Huixiang said: As long as you are willing to take the doctoral examination, you can do whatever you want us to do.
Zhang Zhongjiong said: Buy me a suite in Beijing, otherwise I will not take the doctoral examination.
This answer surprised Zhang Huixiang, how could he not expect that a child who was so sensible in his daily life would suddenly be so strange. But he and his wife are ordinary people in small counties, and their income is simply not enough to buy a house in Beijing.
So they rented a house and lied that they had bought it. Zhang Zhongcai participated in the defense with peace of mind and was admitted as a doctoral student by Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >02 Zhang Zhongjiao Status: University Professor, Single, And Academic</h1>
Suddenly, it has been ten years since Zhang Zhongjiong was admitted to the doctorate. What happened to Zhang Zhongjiong now, is he still setting new records in various places, attracting wave after wave of eyes?
It turned out that as early as after being admitted to graduate school, Zhang Zhongjiong had stopped accepting any media interviews and attention, and completely shifted himself from the public's attention. For him, being able to concentrate on academic research is the happiest. This is very different from when he was young, he was obsessed with becoming famous.
After being admitted to the doctorate, his grades were also very good. Of the three students led by his mentor Zhou Meng, he was the best and the one who worried him the most.
Because after all, Zhang Zhongjiao is still very young, very easy to be confused by external things, thus losing the opportunity and ability to learn and further study.
This is not the first time this problem has occurred, as early as when Zhang Washoku was just in college, he lost himself because of the overly relaxed curriculum and learning mode, and indulged in online games all day long.
Fortunately, under the persuasion of teachers and parents, he successfully quit internet addiction, otherwise he would probably not be admitted to graduate school.
After being admitted as a doctoral student, Zhang Wasjeong was like everyone else in school, without any special treatment. Zhang Successfully completed his doctoral thesis and successfully graduated, so he went to the postdoctoral mobile station to concentrate on academic research and taking students to do courses.
Zhang Isjeong is very smart in learning, learning things quickly and understanding easily. But it also brought him some confusion, that is, he knew too much and was not sure which way he wanted to concentrate on.
In this regard, Zhang Huixiang gave his advice in the early years. He believes that Zhang Jujiong's mathematics is very good, and hopes that he can continue to study in mathematics, while learning some economics, computer and other aspects of knowledge, so as to ensure that he has a skill, work has a landing, but also explore a path of his own.
Zhang Zhongjiong listened to his father's teachings, and now he is concentrating on the study of mathematical theory and has become a professor at the university. While teaching courses, there are also their own projects in research.
Zhang Zhongjiong is also very kind to his parents and knows how to be grateful. He said that his father was his biggest help in his education, and if he had not been helped and supported by his father along the way, he would not have achieved what he is today.
Indeed, as early as Zhang Jujiao's high school days, Zhang Huixiang took the initiative to take leave to go home to help Zhang Jujiao with his homework so that he could prepare for the Olympic Competition. At that time, Zhang Was able to master high school chemistry, mathematics and other courses in just a few months, which was inseparable from his father's "small stove".
Later, Zhang Juju was admitted to college, and his father was worried that he was still young and could not take care of himself, so he took the initiative to give up his upcoming promotion and came to the university to be his companion.
After the school learned of their situation, it specially arranged a double dormitory for the father and son, and the two can be seen walking side by side throughout the campus, sometimes discussing life, talking about academics, or Lala family, very harmonious.
Later, Zhang Zhongjiao was admitted to graduate school, and he took the initiative to hope that his father could temporarily separate from him, let his father enjoy life by himself, and also let himself live more independently.
During this time, Zhang's life skills and social skills have been greatly improved, and he has also completed his thesis at the graduate level alone. This made his father very proud.
Zhang, who became a university professor, fulfilled his original promise and took his parents to live in Beijing, so that they could live a better life.
Today's Zhang Zhongjiao looks very mature and stable, and does not have the appearance of a child at all. But we often recall what he looked like when he was a kid.
When he was a child, Zhang Zhongjiao was very cute, and like other children, he liked to play games, play toys, watch animations, and when he was unhappy, he would lose his temper, and there was no so-called "precocious puberty".
But his outlook on life took shape early, for example, he understood that the reason mineral water is more expensive than tap water is that mineral water occupies more human labor.
Until college, Zhang Wouldn't have scribbled on paper to show off his child's nature. However, unlike other children's graffiti, Zhang's drawing paper is a complex engineering drawing, which is his plan for the ideal city.
Zhang Said that to see whether a city is developed, it depends on whether it is clean and whether it can digest the garbage generated. As a result, he has many high-tech garbage disposal sites in his plan, which is rarely available to other children.
In his spare time, Zhang Zhongjiong also cultivated many personal hobbies. Some of the things he once liked seemed a little childish.
In recent years, with the continuous development of the Internet, he also likes to surf the Internet, such as shopping for Tieba and reading e-books.
Zhang especially likes to publish blogs on Renren, and writing posts is a great pleasure for him. Recently we were able to search for some of his articles through the engine.
However, Zhang Zhongjiao developed rapidly in his career and studies, but he did not move in terms of feelings.
The "peers" he came into contact with were generally eight or nine years older than him, which made him very distressed, and many girls only regarded him as a "little brother" and did not regard him as a person of the same level.
But Zhang said that he would not give up, he believed that sooner or later, one day, he would meet a hot object.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >03 The key to life is not success, but growth</h1>
Recalling the original purchase of a house, Zhang Zhongjiong said his heart to the camera.
He did not regret his original decision, and after learning that his parents had deceived him, he did not overreact, and even took it for granted.
He said that when he wanted to have a house in Beijing, the key was the idea of "people on top of people".
He thinks that he is better than others, naturally he wants to become a better person, and living in Beijing has always been his dream life.
Of course, after so many years, Zhang Zhongjiong's thinking has long changed, and in his current view, in fact, people's lives are enough as long as they can make themselves happy and their families happy.
As for the previous idea of "one suite in Beijing", although he still did not think it was wrong, he personally had already given up insisting on it.
Zhang's more than two decades can be described as wonderful, from the much-anticipated genius prodigy, to the selfish and arrogant "rebellious doctor", to the quiet and down-to-earth university professors today.
He has gone through many transformations and truly understood the meaning of life.
Perhaps the best part of life is not success, but growth.
At least for many people, if they can understand more truths and feel more truths, their lives may change dramatically.
