From higher vocational to MIT doctor, the inspirational road of poor students.

Zhou Xinjing's counterattack is not only his personal story of struggle, but also a demonstration of the achievements of China's higher vocational education, and a role model inspiration for Chinese youth.
Zhou Xinjing was born on a poor island in Zhejiang, after graduating from junior high school, he used to work, but soon realized the importance of reading, so he applied for Wenzhou Longwan District Vocational and Technical School (higher vocational). During his senior career, he experienced the transformation from confusion to awakening, found his own interests and direction, and cultivated his own learning methods and abilities. He passed the college entrance examination and entered Hangzhou Dianzi University, and then was admitted to Zhejiang University for a master's degree. At the graduate level, he published two papers as the first author at the top conferences in the field of databases, VLDB and SIGMOD, showing his innovative thinking and scientific research level. After graduating, he worked at Tencent, but did not give up his love and research for databases, and finally successfully applied for a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT and became a student of Mike Stonebraker, the highest honor in the field of databases.
Zhou Xinjing's counterattack road to study shows his persistence, diligence, self-confidence and innovation. He was not defeated by the poverty of his family and the prejudice of society, but used his own efforts and wisdom to constantly break through himself and realize his dreams. He is not satisfied with the higher vocational education, but constantly pursues higher learning goals, from junior college to undergraduate, from undergraduate to master, from master to doctorate, every step is his self-transcendence. Instead of sticking to the traditional body of knowledge, he dares to innovate and explore, and every work from dptree to spitfire is his original contribution. He did not stay in the comfort zone of China, but bravely went to the international stage, from Hangzhou Electric to Zhejiang University, from Zhejiang University to MIT, every time his vision was expanded.
Zhou Xinjing's counterattack also reflects the development and quality of China's higher vocational education. Higher vocational education is an important part of China's education system, which provides opportunities for rural and urban poor students to receive higher education, and also cultivates a large number of technical and skilled talents for the society. Higher vocational education not only pays attention to the cultivation of students' professional knowledge and skills, but also pays attention to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality and innovation ability, providing students with diversified development paths and choices. Zhou Xinjing is an excellent representative of higher vocational education, he has already shown his enthusiasm and talent for computers and databases during his higher vocational education, and has also found his own learning methods and goals under the guidance and help of higher vocational teachers. Higher vocational education laid a solid foundation for him and opened the door to a higher level of education.
