Have you ever wondered how an ordinary tricycle driver could not be more ordinary become a doctoral student at Fudan University overnight? This is not a fairy tale, nor is it a bridge in a TV series, this is a story that really happened to Cai Wei. In 2009, this northeastern man, who was originally just an ordinary worker in the city, unexpectedly received an admission letter from Fudan University. From a high school diploma to a doctoral student, what kind of secret is hidden behind this world-wide change? Is it talented, or is there something else hidden? Let's find out.
Cai Wei, this name may not have been heard of by many people before 2009. He was born in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, into an ordinary working family, and in 1972, he was no different from thousands of ordinary people. But the trajectory of his life changed dramatically after an unexpected acceptance letter arrived.
Cai Wei's story begins with his unique love for ancient books and calligraphy. When he was a child, he had an unusual interest and research in rare characters. This special hobby earned him the title of "living dictionary" in school. Despite his excellent Chinese scores, his math and English were so poor that he could barely read. This extreme academic performance caused him to fail the college entrance examination, and even the opportunity to repeat was rejected by the teacher.
The failure of the college entrance examination marked a big setback in Cai Wei's educational path, and he could only choose to work in a factory. There, his life was supposed to be uneventful: working, getting married, having children...... In Cai Wei's heart, the thirst for knowledge has never been extinguished. He insisted on self-study, and read more than 300 books a year, covering philosophy, history, literature, and other fields, which is difficult for even professional scholars to match.
However, Cai Wei, who is addicted to reading, has greatly reduced his performance at work. The boss of the factory refused to give him a raise because of his low productivity, and Cai Wei eventually chose to resign. In order to make a living, he started setting up a stall, and this free way of working gave him more time to read.
It was in this life that Cai Wei received the admission letter from Fudan University, which changed his life. This letter is not only a recognition of his knowledge and ability, but also a reward for his unremitting efforts in self-study. However, such an admission decision caused a lot of controversy at the time, after all, Fudan University is a top university in China, and its strict admission standards are well known.
Many people wonder, why was Cai Wei, a tricycle driver with only a high school education, admitted to Fudan University? Is it simply because of his extensive reading and deep cultural accumulation? Or is it that Fudan University values his spirit of defying difficulties and insisting on self-study? In fact, Cai Wei's admission is not only a recognition of academic ability, but also a discovery of special talent.
It is understood that Cai Wei has an almost gifted ability in the interpretation of ancient books. He was able to easily decipher ancient texts that many experts were unable to understand, which is extremely rare in the academic world. This ability eventually caught the attention of a professor at Fudan University's School of Liberal Arts. The professor conducted a series of lectures on Cai Wei and spoke highly of his abilities. On the recommendation of this professor, Fudan University decided to give Cai Wei a special opportunity to admit him.
Cai Wei's story is a story of perseverance and talent. There is no gorgeous transformation in his life, he still lives in a simple abode, and he still faces the difficulties of life. Even after becoming a Ph.D., he did not choose a high-paying career, but continued his studies in academia, researching his beloved ancient books.
During his time at Fudan University, Cai Wei not only demonstrated his extraordinary talent in the interpretation of ancient books, but also gradually began his own academic research. His dissertation "Research on Rare Characters in Ancient Books" has received wide attention and recognition from the academic community, which has also laid a solid foundation for his later academic career.
Cai Wei's road to success has not been easy. In the process of becoming a doctoral student, he faced doubts and ridicule from society, and some even considered his admission to be an injustice. In the face of these doubts, Cai Wei chose to respond with more rigorous academic research. He knows that only by constantly enriching himself can he truly earn respect.
Cai Wei's story is a story about how to turn one's interests and talents into changing one's fate. He used his own experience to show us that everyone has the potential to find their own stage in the field they are good at. Whether it's a tricycle driver or an academic doctorate, as long as you have enough enthusiasm and persistence, it is possible to create a different life.
