"Prodigies" and "geniuses", without the right environment and continuous efforts, cannot become talents, and even degenerate into mediocrity. - Wiener
From ancient times to the present, we have heard many stories of "prodigies", but their endings are very different. Most of the "prodigies" are as described in "Wounded Zhongyong", "invisible" in the expectations of all people; only a very small number of people can live a life and hang on, all the way to the peak. And today our protagonist is a boy who has worn the aura of a "child prodigy" since childhood, Zhang Zhongjiong was admitted to college at the age of 10, became the youngest graduate student in China at the age of 13, and studied for a doctorate at the age of 16. What is the current situation? Let's get closer to this world of "genius" together.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="4" > genius teenager, amazing</h1>
In July 1995, Zhang was born in An ordinary family in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, to a civil servant father and a high school teacher to a mother. He was born in the middle of the July fire, the heat outside was unbearable, and his parents named him Jiong, which means that he wanted him to be as dazzling as the sun. Unexpectedly, his subsequent performance did show the meaning of the name to the fullest.
When he was young, Zhang Zhongjiao was not much different from ordinary children, and they all learned to walk at the age of 1 and began to speak at the age of 2. It wasn't until he was two and a half years old that his talent was discovered by his parents. Fathers like to read books and often read a passage to their son. Unexpectedly, after only three months, he knew more than 1,000 Chinese characters. At this time, the parents realized that Zhang Zhongjiao might be a genius.
In order not to let his son's talent be buried, his father did not send him to kindergarten, but personally tutored Zhang Zhongjiao's study at home. By the time he was six years old, Zhang had completed all six years of primary school. In order to let his son have a full childhood, his parents sent him to elementary school. After 6 months of day school, he went from the first grade of elementary school to the fifth grade, completing the fourth jump at an astonishing speed. In the end, it took only one year to complete all the six years of primary school and successfully enter junior high school.
A prodigy who went to junior high school, smoothly passed the first semester of junior high school, and when Zhang Zhongjiao was not serious in class every day, the teacher thought that he was too young to be incompatible with other personalities to affect his studies, and also called the parents to talk. When he got home, he told his father what he thought, and it turned out that the knowledge of junior high school was too simple for him, making him feel bored to learn. So, his parents began to try to tutor his high school knowledge, so after half a year, when the students entered the high school campus after the middle school entrance examination, Zhang Zhongjiao jumped directly to the high school in Panshan County to read the third year of high school. He was nine years old.
In 2005, the news of a 10-year-old child taking the college entrance examination shocked the whole country, and just when everyone questioned his performance, he lived up to expectations and was admitted to Tianjin Engineer Fan College with a score of 505 points exceeding the 50 points of the second main line of that year. This is a fantasy for an average 10-year-old. I believe that with his IQ, if you repeat a few years, it is not impossible to be admitted to a top school, but his family seems to pay more attention to the record of "the smallest college student", so when his peers were still in the fourth grade, Zhang Juju was already receiving military training at the university. It set a record for the youngest college student in China, and no one has been able to break it so far.

The legend of Zhang, who went to college, continued, and the major media rushed to report on it, and he did not slack off his studies because of this, and set a record again three years later. In 2008, the 13-year-old prodigy took part in the postgraduate examination and was successfully admitted to the graduate school of Beijing University of Technology, becoming the youngest graduate student. College students who were studying for graduate school at that time must not have expected that their competitor was a 13-year-old child.
After the start of school, Zhang Refused to let his father continue to take care of him in the dormitory, and he was only in puberty when he was in graduate school. Without his father's constant discipline around him, his immature mind made it difficult for him to resist the temptations of the outside world, and he soon became addicted to the game and could not extricate himself. The results of all subjects were not ideal, and at that time, even graduation became a big problem.
Unable to accept the disappearance of the prodigy aura, Zhang Zhongjiong once wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, under the correct enlightenment of the graduate supervisor, he once again found the goal he was striving for. He spent his energy on his graduation thesis, used his super imagination and logical deduction ability to write a paper "Sub-differentiation and Duality of Interval Value Function", and achieved very good results and successfully graduated.
His myth continues, at the age of 16, he decided to storm the degree pyramid, and in 2011 he once again sensationalized the country and successfully admitted to the Doctorate of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, once again breaking the record and becoming the youngest doctor in China. However, he chose to withdraw from school when he was four years old, because he felt that he was too useless, and sure enough, the genius had higher requirements for himself than the average person. Fortunately, under the guidance of his mentor, he returned to campus.

Looking back on Zhang's 26 years, it is really wonderful. But we can also imagine that when he hardly had a day off, it was obvious that his father's utilitarianism could be seen, because later the father wrote a book called "Magical Learning" based on the record of cultivating prodigies, plus participating in the program on Phoenix TV, and the book was snatched up as soon as it came out. In order to complete his ideal of test-taking education, the father let the genius son indulge in learning every day, but ignored that a genius wants to play its role as a genius, and at the same time has to have the psychological quality to match it.
In 2019, Zhang Jujiong, who had studied for 8 years as a doctorate, finally graduated. After experiencing all these ups and downs, he finally let go, his face was no longer as untamed as before, and his temperament became more mature and stable. Now he no longer accepts media interviews, disappears in the eyes of the public, and goes to a research institute to conduct his own academic research, perhaps this is the best destination for a genius - obsessed with his own academic research, not disturbed by the outside world. I hope that he can continue to shine in his field of study and achieve happiness and happiness.
