Preface:
He had an extraordinary memory and was dubbed a "child prodigy" at a young age; He was admitted to Xi'an Jiaotong University at the age of 15 and became a Harvard doctor at the age of 25. After his studies, the motherland issued a sincere invitation, but he blatantly refused and turned to become an American citizen.
This person is Gao Huajian, who is known as a "prodigy" once in a century, but since the moment he entered the arms of the United States, he has been scolded as a "white-eyed wolf". In the face of overwhelming abuse, he did not give an explanation, just said "science has no boundaries."
Just when everyone gave Gao Huajian the title of "a person who forgets his ancestors", he showed his sincerity and led 20 top people to return to the embrace of the motherland. This operation made the self-proclaimed shrewd Americans fool themselves.
So how did Gao Huajian secretly cross Chen Cang for 20 years and turn the old beauty around?
First, the rise of "prodigy"
Gao Huajian was born in a small mountain village in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and because of the poverty and lack of educational resources, few people around him paid attention to the issue of education. After all, sometimes you can't even eat enough, so who cares about reading and writing?
But Gao Huajian's parents are exceptions, although they are ordinary workers, they firmly believe in the truth that knowledge changes destiny. So even if he was tired and tired, he sent his son to school.
But the couple had no culture, so they did not expect much from their son, only hoping that he could learn some knowledge and find a good job in the future. But Gao Huajian's performance far exceeded their imagination.
That day, the teacher came to their home for a home visit, thinking that their son had broken into trouble at school, and the couple's faces were very ugly. But after hearing the teacher's speech, their faces showed incredible expressions.
It turned out that Gao Huajian not only did not break into trouble, but performed very well. His memory is far beyond that of his classmates, and Gao Huajian is always the first to complete the recitation tasks he usually assigns, and the accuracy rate is still very high.
In addition, mathematics is also his strength, and there are no problems in the same grade that he will not do. In order to test him, the teacher would occasionally find senior math problems for him to do, but this was also difficult for Gao Huajian. Therefore, when students encounter problems in homework, they will ask him for advice as soon as possible. Therefore, the main purpose of this home visit is to train him well for his parents.
After listening to the teacher's description, Gao's father and mother were excited, and they were very proud to have such an excellent son. Originally, the husband and wife were busy at work, and Gao Huajian would help do some housework, but after learning about his learning talent, his parents let him concentrate on his studies, and he didn't have to worry about other things. Moreover, the couple also saved money and bought him a lot of study materials.
All these efforts were not in vain, Gao Huajian's grades were always among the best during primary school, and he was admitted to the local key middle school with excellent results.
The learning tasks of junior high school are far more arduous than those in primary school, but for Gao Huajian, it is a piece of cake. In three years, he not only learned all the knowledge points of junior high school, but also mastered all the courses of high school.
Through the learning materials purchased by his parents, Gao Huajian also developed a strong interest in physics. In physics class, he always completed the tests quickly and well, and the teachers said that he was a gifted child.
After graduating from junior high school, many famous high schools threw olive branches to Gao Huajian, and just when he was struggling to choose a school, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination reached his ears. After thinking twice, he decided to skip high school and go straight to the college entrance examination.
Gao Huajian told his parents about this idea, and the second elder thought that he had completed the high school curriculum on his own, and it would not hurt to try it. He then approached the homeroom teacher for advice, and the teacher was also confident in his students and very supportive of his ideas.
On the eve of the exam, his family and teachers advised him not to be nervous, so he regarded the college entrance examination as his own experience, and if he really did not do well, he would come back to continue his high school. Subsequently, Gao Huajian took everyone's expectations and participated in the college entrance examination that year.
I thought that the college entrance examination was a big test for this 15-year-old child, but the result was that everyone underestimated Gao Huajian's strength. He completed all the subjects in half the time.
Soon came the day of the results, when Gao Huajian left the examination room so quickly, everyone thought that the questions in the college entrance examination were too difficult, and he didn't finish it. But after seeing the admission notice of Xi'an Jiaotong University, everyone showed an incredible expression.
Not long after, the news of Gao Huajian's admission to Xi'an Jiaotong University spread locally, people called him a "prodigy", and his parents were even more proud of their son. And this is just the beginning of Gao Huajian's legendary road.
Second, everywhere you go is a genius
Although being admitted to university is a happy thing, my parents are worried when they are happy. At that time, Gao Huajian had just turned 15 years old, and the couple was very worried that their son would go to study abroad alone.
But Gao Huajian smiled and said to them: "Don't worry, parents, when I was a child, I could still help you do housework, and now it's absolutely no problem to go to school alone." After that, he boarded the train to Xi'an.
Among the students in the same class, Gao Huajian is the youngest, but his grades are very top-notch. Many classmates and teachers said that his "prodigy" was not called in vain.
University courses are not so heavy, but Gao Huajian is very strict with himself. He finished his professional classes early, and then spent all day in the lab whenever he had time.
During this period, he learned from his mentor that Harvard has the world's leading scientific research level, and since then, Gao Huajian has yearned for the United States on the other side of the ocean.
The four years of college were fleeting, and 19-year-old Gao Huajian became an outstanding graduate of that class. After learning that after graduating from the "prodigy", many companies offered him high salaries, but his goal was only Harvard, so he rejected all companies and applied for Harvard graduate school.
For this kind of talent, Harvard did not want to miss it easily, and soon sent the acceptance letter. Subsequently, Gao Huajian shouldered everyone's expectations and started studying in a foreign country.
But no one thought that this would be 20 years.
Although Harvard is full of talent, it still cannot hide Gao Huajian's dazzling light. The mentor values this "prodigy" from China very much, and will take the initiative to take him to participate in any projects.
A few years later, 25-year-old Gao Huajian obtained a doctorate. Several years of Harvard life have made his fame all over the world, and countless countries want to take such a genius under their wing.
For such a talent, the mainland naturally attaches great importance to it and sincerely invites him to return to China for development. Not only his parents, but also his former teachers and classmates are eager to return to China as soon as possible. But he himself hesitated.
3. "Into the arms of the United States"
Just when the Chinese people were looking forward to it, Gao Huajian finally made a decision. He chose to stay in the United States and became an assistant professor at Stanford University.
As soon as the news came out, it instantly exploded, and the original words of praise for Gao Huajian all turned into overwhelming curses. People can't understand why he made such a decision, is it greedy for fame and fortune?
Former mentors and relatives and friends knew very well that Gao Huajian was definitely not a person who fished for fame, so they wanted to ask why he refused to return to China. But Gao Huajian prevaricated in a few words, which also made everyone angry.
After Gao's father and mother learned of their son's decision, they also called angrily, and even threatened to break off relations, but Gao Huajian was always indifferent.
After that, Gao Huajian was scolded for "forgetting his ancestors", but he didn't care much about these insults, just said "science has no borders, I have my own plans", and no longer explained too much.
I thought that the matter would end here, but not long after, Gao Huajian actually took the initiative to become an American citizen. This once again ignited the anger of the countrymen, and also completely confirmed his infamy as a "white-eyed wolf".
After hearing this news, Gao's father and mother became ill, but Gao Huajian did not return to China to visit, and did not even make a phone call. You must know that when he was a child, he was very filial, did he become a "traitor" after a trip to the United States? Obviously, this is not the case.
Fourth, being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he became a citizen of the United States only to better serve the motherland
Gao Huajian's "sincerity" made Americans overjoyed, in order to reflect the importance of talents, they provided the most superior scientific research environment, which also allowed Gao Huajian to engage in research without distraction.
Although he has his own separate laboratory and has access to many authoritative scientists, Americans are always wary of him in terms of core technology. After all, he had not yet become a U.S. citizen at this time.
This can make Gao Huajian anxious, in order to fully master a technology, you must enter the core department. But what can be done to make Lao Mei treat him as her own?
So Gao Huajian found his American mentor and voiced his doubts. After hearing this, the mentor told him that you can only access core technologies if you become an American, and the only way to become an American is to become an American citizen.
Hearing this, Gao Huajian hesitated, he loved his motherland deeply, but in order to be able to master high-precision technology, he finally chose to join the American "curve to save the country".
After handing over the petition, Gao Huajian rightfully became a researcher of Laomei. Although many people do not understand his approach, he does not care, as long as he can eventually help the motherland, he is willing to bear the name. The only thing that saddened him was his parents' attitude, because when he announced his naturalization, his parents claimed that there was no such son.
But the road to success was destined to be full of thorns, and Gao Huajian at that time could not care about so much. After adjusting his mentality, he immediately devoted himself to scientific research. In the days that followed, he made waves in the American scientific community and achieved a number of world-renowned research results.
These achievements also made him a tenured professor at Brown University and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. With these honorary figures, Gao Huajian is also ready to start implementing his plan.
After 2000, he shifted his focus from scientific research to talent development. During this time, he won the privilege of choosing his own students. Most of his students are Chinese who have come to study abroad.
Although he is his own professor, who of these international students does not know Gao Huajian's name? His "ungrateful" behavior is taken to heart in every Chinese.
But over time, the students discovered that this former genius did not seem to be what outsiders portrayed. When teaching, he taught with all his kinds, and constantly taught everyone to return to the motherland after learning success. How do you hear this, it doesn't seem like a "traitor" can say it, does he have his own bitterness?
It was not until August 2006, when Gao Huajian led 20 proud protégés back to the motherland, that everyone understood his good intentions. It turns out that he has been scolded for 20 years, but he is just serving the country in his own way.
Epilogue:
Gao Huajian's "Infernal Affairs" successfully played Americans in the palm of his hand, and also made himself the most hated person in the United States. But he didn't care, because he had the strongest love for his motherland in his heart.
There is no doubt that Gao Huajian is great, and he has endured hard for 20 years for the scientific and technological progress of the motherland. In order to train talents for the country, he was willing to become a "traitor" among other people.
Gao Huajian's academic research is worth learning from each of us; Moreover, a strong patriotic spirit is what every Chinese should have. Finally, let's pay tribute to this national hero together!
