Zhang Zhongjiao, known as a talented teenager, was admitted to university at the age of 10, a master's degree at the age of 13, and a doctorate at the age of 16. Children who learn to open and hang in this way can always attract a large wave of envious eyes. So, how is he doing now?

In 1995, Zhang was born into an ordinary working family in Panjin, Liaoning Province.
From the age of 2 and a half, his father, Zhang Huixiang, trained him to read. In just 3 months, Zhang Huixiang found that he already knew more than a thousand Chinese characters. This amount made Zhang Huixiang a little excited in addition to being surprised, and he thought that Zhang Zhongjiao had the conditions for genius.
In 2000, Zhang Beg-chiong began attending elementary school.
At this time, Zhang Zhongjiao began to show a side of learning.
When other children were still in the classroom step by step, Zhang Zhongjiao only took 2 months to master all the knowledge points of the first and second grades. Then he kept skipping grades. By the time he completed the six-year compulsory education, it took only two years.
Subsequently, Zhang Zhongjiao spent the first and second grades of junior high school in a low profile, but in the second semester of the third semester of junior high school, Zhang Zhongjiao began to refuse to study, and after the teacher gave zhang Huixiang feedback, Zhang Huixiang took Zhang Zhongjiao home and let him study at home.
After that, under the arrangement of Zhang Huixiang, 10-year-old Zhang Zhongjiao jumped directly to the third year of high school and prepared to take the college entrance examination.
Because Zhang Zhongjiao was under the age of 18 and could not apply for an identity card, he could only present the household registration certificate issued by the police station when taking the college entrance examination. However, although Zhang Zhongjiao was the youngest in the examination room, he achieved a score of 510 points, was admitted to the Tianjin Engineer Fan College, and became a juvenile "college student".
For Zhang Zhongjiong's skipping education, many people at that time raised objections. After all, before this, there were examples of the failure of the education of talented teenagers such as Ning Bo. Therefore, many people think that Zhang's education is encouraged by seedlings and has no benefit to children, and even some experts assert that Zhang Ishig will be dissuaded before he can read sophomore year.

Despite the criticism of experts and professors, Zhang Huixiang believes that children's learning does not need to be divided by age. As long as he is learning to go up step by step, there is no fault, there is no problem. Besides, if you go to college early, you can go to graduate school earlier. In this way, the child always wins ahead of others.
Zhang Zhongjiao graduated from university at the age of 13 and successfully passed the re-examination for graduate students of Beijing University of Technology, and after obtaining a postgraduate degree, he was admitted to Beihang Airlines to pursue a doctorate at the age of 16.
Zhang Zhongjiong has achieved impressive results. His father, Zhang Huixiang, said that you can achieve such results, not your own credit, which also includes the hard work and education of parents and teachers.
The reason why Zhang Huixiang said this was not to hit Zhang Zhongjiao, but that he and his wife did make great sacrifices for Zhang Zhongjiao's study.
Zhang Huixiang graduated with a bachelor's degree and worked in the street office in his early years. His wife is a high school geography teacher. When Zhang Jujiao was young, he and his wife loved to read, and the atmosphere of reading at home invisibly affected Zhang Juju.
Of course, the reason why Zhang Huixiang felt that Zhang Zhongjiao was smart was mainly from heredity, not acquired.
In addition, Zhang Huixiang does not approve of the child's desperate brushing. In his view, children can "not seek the best" in terms of grades, but they must be "knowledgeable". Therefore, he never set an exam goal for Zhang Zhongjiao, but only consciously let him preview the knowledge he was going to learn in advance. For example, elementary school looks at the knowledge of junior high school, and junior high school points high school knowledge.
In addition, since Zhang Zhongjiao was admitted to college, Zhang Huixiang considered that he was too young to take care of himself and could not be independent, so he joined the army of accompanying students. This accompaniment accompanied Zhang Zhongjiao all the way to pursue a doctorate.
Of course, Zhang Zhongjiong also has his troubles.
Because Zhang Has been reading with his classmates who are seven or eight years older than him, he is more mature than children of the same age in thinking, but compared with his classmates, he still seems too naïve. Therefore, he felt very lonely and lonely inside.
In order to get the recognition of others, Zhang Zhongjiong was once very addicted to the Internet. He often expressed some of his views on society in the forum, for example, he once said: "The chaos in Beijing is caused by too many foreigners, and foreigners should be restricted." ”
Because he thinks of what to say, he often causes an uproar on the Internet. Some even carried out personal attacks on him with the aura of a "child prodigy".
The reason why Zhang Zhongjiong has such a view of Beijing is related to his understanding of Beijing in the process of receiving education.
In his opinion, Beijing is the best in all of China, so he is particularly eager to stay in Beijing and work here in the future.
At the age of 16, out of anxiety about his future life, he suddenly talked to Zhang Huixiang about the conditions. He said, you have to buy me a suite in Beijing now, or I won't defend graduate school, let alone take a doctorate.
At that time, in order to give Zhang Jujiong a good reading condition, Zhang Huixiang quit his job and relied on his usual odd jobs and his wife's income to maintain his life, while Beijing was short of land and housing prices, which made people sigh. This is where families with meager incomes like theirs can afford it.
Due to Zhang Juju's repeated insistence, Zhang Huixiang had no choice but to rent a suite to fool Zhang Juju, and Zhang Juju continued his studies.

After the matter was exposed by the media, Zhang Zhongjiao was criticized by many people. Everyone believes that even a child prodigy who does not filial piety to his parents is blind.
After Zhang Became a doctoral student at Beihang Airlines, he gradually faded out of the public eye. According to people he knew well, after his doctorate, he encountered many insurmountable difficulties in scientific research, which made him still unable to get a doctorate.
But even so, his supervisor still gave him a lot of help and understanding, hoping that he could get a doctorate.
However, according to the 8-year doctoral system, if Zhang Cannot get a doctorate in 2019, he will have to face the reality of being dismissed.
Even so, from the perspective of Zhang Zhongjiong's learning path, it is indeed well-deserved to say that he is a "genius teenager".
