Preamble:
Pay attention, the scene in front of me appeared on the variety show "Amazing Child", a three-year-old child sat in the middle of the stage, and said that he already knew 3,000 words.
made the whole audience, including Meng Fei, exclaim, this little boy is Wang Hengyi.
He was able to memorize "A Thousand Poems" at the age of four, knew 600 English words at the age of five, and won the laurels at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Conference of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" at the age of six, and even defeated the contestants in the literature department, and was known as a "prodigy".
However, while he is so good, many netizens are worried about his future, and some even ridicule him with "hurt Zhongyong".
Now that five years have passed, what has happened to him?
1. A "prodigy" appeared on the CCTV stage, and was suspected of "hurting Zhongyong"
In the variety show "Amazing Child", the host Meng Fei met Wang Hengyi, who was only three years old, and he trotted all the way to the middle of the stage, and his cute appearance made many people's hearts.
In appearance, he was no different from an ordinary child, but when Meng Fei asked him about his skills, he said amazingly that he knew 3,000 Chinese characters and could distinguish 108 national flags.
The scene fell silent after an exclamation, no one would want to believe that a kindergarten child could know 3,000 Chinese characters, but in the next second, Wang Hengyi showed everyone his skills.
I saw that he did not hesitate to read out the words that appeared in front of the screen, and the pronunciation of each word was very clear, even if Meng Fei didn't know the words, he could read them accurately, which convinced the audience.
In order to prove that this is not a script, Meng Fei also picked up a book casually, and then turned a page for Wang Hengyi to read, Wang Hengyi read word by word very fluently, and the audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
Wang Hengyi can not only read and write, but also hum a song with the host, and once he just played the prelude on the scene, he said that the name of the song was "It's Dawn".
This is not a song that children can often come into contact with, but Wang Hengyi can still respond quickly and say his name, which shows that his memory is different from ordinary people.
Later, some guests took the initiative to ask for questions to test Wang Hengyi, and he immediately drew the number of a few pieces of music, but every time the prelude sounded, Wang Hengyi could correctly give the name of the song, which really deserved the title of "Chinese Little Song Library".
When he was four years old, Wang Hengyi showed his skills on the stage of "Happy Chinese" again, this time he directly memorized "Thousand Family Poems", and even the host Peking University talent Sa Beining showed a surprised expression.
But Sa Beining still wanted to test him, so he gave him a difficult problem "Will Enter the Wine".
Unexpectedly, the ancient texts that ordinary people can only come into contact with in middle school were recited in Wang Hengyi's mouth with emotion, so that everyone present was infected by the feelings in the ancient texts, this is only Wang Hengyi's four-year-old age.
Would you believe me if I said that an experienced adult with a certain amount of knowledge lost to a six-year-old child in a contest of poetry accumulation?
In 2019, Wang Hengyi appeared on the stage of "Challenging the Impossible", although it is also a program hosted by Sa Beining, but the difficulty coefficient has increased several times in comparison.
Wang Hengyi needs to stand in the center of the stage, and there will be flickering Chinese characters in the nine-square grid in front of him, and Wang Hengyi needs to observe these Chinese characters and say which poem they are drawn from.
I think that an adult who is familiar with poetry and poetry does not dare to guarantee that he can answer the rules smoothly when faced with such a challenge to the rules, and it is an impossible task for ordinary people.
But Wang Hengyi not only answered all of them correctly within five seconds, but also recited the entire poem skillfully, which made everyone feel very incredible.
Wang Hengyi has also become what people call a "prodigy", talent is hard to find, and many people feel that if he is trained well, he will become a great weapon in the future.
But there are also some voices with different opinions on the Internet, using the example of "hurting Zhongyong" to say that Wang Hengyi's parents are "helping him", which seems to be helping him, but in fact ruining his life.
Now that a few years have passed, has the former prodigy been "out of the ordinary"?
2. "Prodigy" has become "ordinary"? This is not the case
For some reason, since Wang Hengyi's outstanding performance in the show, there has been an endless stream of "negative public opinion" about him on the Internet.
The main focus of everyone's discussion is that Wang Hengyi's strength is different from that of ordinary children, and everyone thinks that there is a script in it, as well as the parents' "seedling" education.
As more and more people discussed, everyone subconsciously speculated the consequences very badly and questioned the education that Wang Hengyi usually came into contact with.
even wonders if other parents regard their children as a means of drainage, even if the family has come forward to respond to the doubts of netizens, it still has not calmed the storm of public opinion.
The comment area about Wang Hengyi on the Internet is a mess, but in fact, everyone's worries are completely unnecessary.
Because learning has become a part of Wang Hengyi's life, Wang Hengyi is just doing what he likes.
In 2020, Wang Hengyi participated in the fifth season of "Chinese Poetry Conference", and in the scene of masters, the youngest Wang Hengyi can still become the most outstanding one, and he also won the championship of the "Mid-Autumn Poetry Conference".
In 2022, Wang Hengyi will once again return to the stage of the "Chinese Poetry Conference", his immature face a few years ago looks like he has grown a lot, and his temperament is more calm.
On the stage of CCTV, Wang Hengyi said that he wanted to become a "history teacher", and he could have such an awareness at a young age, which really made many adults ashamed of themselves.
Wang Hengyi on CCTV shined, and he returned to his normal life under the camera.
When he reached the age of going to school, Wang Hengyi also entered the campus like other children and started a new learning life, which is why we have not seen him on the Internet in the past two years.
His family didn't want him to live under the camera, and they didn't mean to package him as a "prodigy", for his parents, it was enough for Wang Hengyi to grow up healthy.
In places we can't see, Wang Hengyi takes his mother's hand home after school almost every day, giggling and sharing interesting things that happened at school with his mother.
During the holidays, Wang Hengyi also participated in various parent-child activities with his family to improve his hands-on ability and enhance his previous contact with his family.
It is said that parents are children's first teachers, and it can be seen from Wang Hengyi's growth experience that his parents respect his choice and give him enough space to develop his interests.
The love and care that should be in childhood is never late, and it is the family that uses practical actions to avoid the end of "hurt Zhongyong".
3. A good enlightenment teacher can guide children in the right direction
In 2013, Wang Hengyi was born in Qingdao, Shandong, because his parents were busy with work, he lived with his grandmother He Xia since he was a child.
Grandma became the first "enlightenment teacher" he met in his childhood.
He Xia likes literature, and when other people's children fall asleep in fairy tales and nursery rhymes, grandma began to coax Wang Hengyi with poetry.
Children's potential can always be infinitely magnified, and Wang Hengyi can imitate and read the "Three Character Classic" after listening to it for a long time.
At that time, Wang Hengyi was only more than a year old, and this surprise discovery made his grandmother discover his extraordinary talent in poetry and songs.
So the grandmother who discovered the new world began to focus on cultivating Wang Hengyi's ability in this area, and guided Wang Hengyi to recognize words.
This has greatly improved Wang Hengyi's memory and analytical skills.
Thanks to grandma's rich literary accumulation, in the process of taking Wang Hengyi to know poetry, in order to facilitate the memory of grandma's acceptance of the emotions and stories behind it, Wang Hengyi felt the breadth and profundity of language culture.
In order to facilitate Wang Hengyi's study, the family also stored many books and newspapers for Wang Hengyi to read, which not only satisfied Wang Hengyi's curiosity, but also cultivated his habit of independent learning.
When Wang Hengyi was three years old, he learned more than 3,000 Chinese characters and more than 100 ancient poems with his grandmother, and he was able to conceive and write poems by himself at the age of five.
Grandma also shared her grandson on the Internet, and the reputation of "prodigy" gradually spread.
Grandma used words and deeds to teach by example, little by little, to discover Wang Hengyi's love for poetry, and soon Wang Hengyi began to invest a lot of time in active learning.
This is a testament to Edison's saying, "Genius is one percent diligence and ninety-nine percent hard work." ”
A large part of Wang Hengyi's ability to have such outstanding strength comes from his own efforts.
His family just played the role of "guide", pointing out the direction to Wang Hengyi and giving the right advice at the right time.
Even if Wang Hengyi participates in various CCTV programs, his parents have never thought of "consuming" their biological children for the purpose of letting Wang Hengyi meet more excellent people, exercise his ability, and broaden his horizons.
When "malicious speculation" continued to surface on the Internet, the family chose to use practical actions to win everyone's approval.
Now Xiao Hengyi also has his own social platform account, and he will also share some of his daily life on weekdays, bringing you ancient poems, and setting an example for children.
Epilogue:
The allusion of "hurt Zhongyong" has brought us too much impact, and we don't want to see such a thing happen again, and we always subconsciously produce unnecessary worries, which is completely understandable.
Wang Hengyi has accumulated more than 1,400 poems, and has also learned Chinese history and culture, and I believe that he will realize his dream and become an excellent history teacher in the near future.
