Tang Xiaolin was born in an ordinary family, and her parents' education is not high, but they attach great importance to education. Since Tang Xiaolin was very young, her parents told her to study hard and not work so hard like herself.
Tang Xiaolin was pinned on by her parents, and she did not disappoint them. She is diligent and studious, with top grades in all subjects, and takes the initiative to help her parents with housework in her spare time.
In 2004, Tang Xiaolin passed the college entrance examination with excellent results and was successfully admitted to the Department of Physics of Peking University. This is a promising future for a child from an ordinary family.
In recognition of her excellent grades, the high school also gave her a scholarship. Her parents were ecstatic and held a grand college banquet for her, and relatives in the neighborhood said that Tang Xiaolin was really a good child of someone else's family.
During her four years at Peking University, Tang Xiaolin continued to maintain a hard-working Xi attitude. Space physics is a very complex and difficult profession that requires a high level of computational and comprehension skills.
But relying on her own efforts, Tang Xiaolin still became one of the best students in this major Xi without any suspense. As one of the few girls in her major, her gentle and introverted but intelligent personality also impressed her teachers and classmates.
In 2008, Tang Xiaolin obtained a master's degree in biophysics from the University of Utah. For a talented Chinese student, this is undoubtedly an important step in the rise of the stars.
Next, Tang Xiaolin resolutely chose a very difficult RNA virus topic for doctoral Xi and scientific research, because she hoped to burst out more potential under this huge pressure.
At the beginning, Tang Xiaolin's doctoral Xi went well according to plan, and she completed her master's Xi in only two years. However, things changed when she began to Xi and select topics for her PhD.
Her Ph.D. supervisor, Safarion, has a clear bias against Tang Xiaolin, who is from China. In the process of guiding her, he often criticized Tang Xiaolin's ability for no reason and treated her unfairly.
Despite facing such injustice, Tang Xiaolin was still determined to grit her teeth and endure and continue her studies. Because she wants to prove herself through her own efforts in this seemingly difficult doctoral Xi process and change the prejudice of her supervisor against her.
In the arduous doctoral career, Tang Xiaolin has been tenaciously supporting. Despite the discrimination against her supervisor, she worked hard to carry out her research work and published a total of 6 high-level professional papers during her 6 years of doctoral studies.
Two of the papers were of extremely high quality and were selected for publication by top international academic journals in the field.
However, despite Tang Xiaolin's fruitful research results, her supervisor Safarion still did not recognize her efforts and abilities, but deliberately delayed her graduation progress for no reason.
Until 2017, Tang Xiaolin was in the 7th year of her doctoral career, but her supervisor still refused to let her graduate.
Under this tremendous pressure, the mentally fragile Tang Xiaolin began to fall into self-doubt and depression. She often asks her friends, "Am I so stupid that my mentor keeps targeting me?" Friends can only comfort her not to put too much pressure on herself.
In September 2017, Tang Xiaolin took the initiative to ask her tutor what her shortcomings were, hoping to graduate as soon as possible. The tutor told her that as long as she did a perfect project, she would give her a thesis topic.
Tang Xiaolin rekindled her hope and completed the plan for that project within five days. But the mentor didn't look at her and tore up the proposal directly, saying that she was a failure and unworthy of graduation.
Years of hard work were ruined in this way, and Tang Xiaolin's inner defense line finally collapsed completely.
In October of that year, when the psychological defense line collapsed, the desperate Tang Xiaolin came to the Golden Gate Bridge. She stood alone on the bridge, and the pain in her heart made her decide to end her life.
Without any warning, Tang Xiaolin jumped into the abyss. The tragic news quickly reached her family and friends, leaving them unacceptable.
The Chinese students were outraged, believing that the incident was caused by the serious racial discrimination of Tang Xiaolin's tutor. They collectively protested to the school, demanding a thorough investigation into Tang Xiaolin's death.
At the same time, Tang Xiaolin's classmates also spontaneously organized to investigate what happened to her before her death, hoping to find out the truth.
Through interviews with Tang Xiaolin's friends and teachers, the students learned about the oppression and discrimination that her tutor had been treating her for a long time, as well as the bad impact of these serious misbehaviors on Tang Xiaolin's psychology.
They summarized the findings and prepared a detailed report that was presented to the school.
However, the school and the police simply chose to characterize the incident as suicide without in-depth investigation into the instructor's negligence. This result made Tang Xiaolin's family and friends feel unacceptable and sad.
This sad event reflects that the value of one's life should not be defined solely by narrow criteria for success. There will inevitably be setbacks in life, and we need to learn to accept them with an open mind.
Because the most important thing is often not external achievements, but from the relationship with family and friends.
Tang Xiaolin's tragedy reminds us that when faced with difficult situations, it is especially important to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, because everything in life has a solution. Each of our lives has a unique meaning, which is often greater than the achievements and accolades we have achieved.
Living in the moment, caring for and supporting those around you, and constantly self-reflecting are the keys to letting life shine. Rather than simply pursuing external success.
Tang Xiaolin's experience is deplorable, but at the same time, it has also become an unforgettable lesson. It tells us to cherish every day of our lives and value our family and friends so that we can live life to the fullest.
Every life deserves to be respected, and none of us should be a tool for others to achieve their ambitions. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, we must maintain peace and kindness in our hearts, believing that the difficulties will eventually pass.
With this positive attitude towards life, our lives will be more meaningful.
In 2008, Tang Xiaolin, an outstanding talent from Peking University, began her Xi journey in top universities in the United States, and she should have entered the flower path smoothly. But a few years later, the end of her study abroad career ushered in tragedy.
Tang Xiaolin chose to end her young life in despair, which made relatives, friends and the public feel sorry.
Looking back on Tang Xiaolin's life, her tragedy reminds us that a person's worth and meaning should not be limited by a narrow view of success. Because the true meaning of life often lies not only in external achievements, but also in how to actively live in the present moment and enjoy the bits and pieces between family and friends.
In the face of unsatisfactory life, we need to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude. Remember, when effort doesn't change the outcome, it's also wise to choose to embrace it.
Instead of pursuing an outward sense of fulfillment, spend time with your family and care and support others so that you can live a meaningful life.
Every loss of life is something to be regretted. Tang Xiaolin is gone, but her experience will continue in another way. Let us learn from her lessons, learn Xi be kind and tolerant, and cherish the people and things around us.
Encountering all kinds of setbacks in life with a positive attitude towards life is the best memory of a vast life.
