Recently, a news about "Fudan genius boy studying in the United States, graduated from a prestigious school with a doctorate but wandered for 16 years" has attracted widespread attention. Once regarded as a rising star in the academic world, after achieving such dazzling academic achievements, he lived a life of exile. This is not only a personal tragedy, but also a profound problem facing the education system and social environment.
Sun Weidong chose the best program to go to the United States at that time, which was initiated by the famous Nobel laureate Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee, called the Sino-US Joint Graduate Program in Physics.
Be in spirits
Students who pass the interview can receive a full scholarship from the school, including tuition and living expenses, to study related physics majors until they graduate with a PhD. Therefore, Sun Weidong was selected that year, and his ability should be beyond doubt.
According to the scientific research database Web of Science, Dr. Sun Weidong was mainly engaged in nuclear physics research during his master's and doctoral studies in the United States, and he published a total of 32 SCI papers in the seven years from 1992 to 1999.
With such academic ability, if he continues to stay in the scientific research community to develop, he will definitely become an academic master, but he has chosen a different route from ordinary people.
The reporter learned in the video released by the photographer of the series of videos that Sun graduated from Fudan University with a major in physics, completed a master's and doctoral degree in physics in the United States, and stayed in the university to do a postdoctoral degree for less than two years, and then worked on Wall Street in computer science for less than two years, and is currently a U.S. citizen.
Sun said that in the 90s of the last century, he met a Chinese woman in New York with a daughter, and the woman was very kind to him, and slowly developed feelings, and then they got married. Unexpectedly, after the woman got a U.S. green card through marriage, she divorced him. As a result, he was hit hard, his work and life could not be carried out normally, and his interpersonal relationships also had problems. "I started having auditory hallucinations and couldn't tell the difference between reality and fiction. Slowly, he deviated from his normal life and began to wander. Since 2007, he has been wandering for 16 years, living by begging and picking up food that others have discarded.
Personal psychological resilience is of great significance to an individual's mental health, adaptability, self-regulation, growth and development, happiness and social stability. Therefore, we should focus on cultivating and improving our psychological resilience.
