Looking back on Xie Yanbo, a prodigy who was admitted to USTC 45 years ago, where is he going today?
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, a group of talented young people emerged in our country.
Although they are young, they know even more things than college students.
So, they were sent to the juvenile class of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
And our protagonist, Xie Yanbo, is also one of them.
When other teenagers are still learning addition, multiplication, and division, Xie Yanbo can skillfully solve some tedious physics, calculation and other problems.
So, what kind of person is Xie Yanbo now?
1. Born from an ordinary background, but with a high talent for research.
Xie Yanbo's family conditions are very good, and his father is a physics teacher at Hunan Medical University, and his family conditions are also very good.
Xie Yanbo lived in the countryside when he was a child, and because his parents were very busy, Xie Yanbo lived with his grandmother in the countryside.
Xie Yanbo did not show a high level of research before entering the university, but since he entered the school, his research level has changed.
Most people spend their elementary school years in play, but Xie Yanbo is different, he likes to play and play.
Xie Yanbo has formulated a very strict timetable by himself, and he does not need to be supervised by others.
Since he was in the second grade of elementary school, he has been waking up at a quarter past six in the morning and spending time in training.
She also went to bed at half past eight.
Xie Yanbo can guarantee that he has at least more than five hours of classes a day.
As a result, Xie Yanbo completed arithmetic in middle school in three years, completed all science and physics in four years, and then entered the advanced mathematics course.
After Xie Yanbo finished junior high school, he went to Changsha to participate in mathematics, physics and chemistry competitions, and he did very well in the exam.
At that time, USTC was holding a children's program to select gifted students from all over the country to enter the university.
After Xie Yanbo became famous, he received an invitation from the University of Science and Technology of China.
According to the estimation of relevant people at the University of Science and Technology of China, the arithmetic level of eleven-year-old Xie Yanbo is about the same as that of a normal high school student.
So, the University of Science and Technology of China recruited Xie Yanbo into this school, and then he entered this school.
In 1977, he was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 11, which is simply a fantasy for many people.
While most of the children wearing red scarves were still in middle school, Xie Yanbo began to solve various difficult problems in school on the blackboard.
This is also the reason why Xie Yanbo was called a scientific wizard at that time.
Xie Yanbo himself once had such an ideal, that is, to win the Nobel Prize in the future.
So, Xie Yanbo got his wish?
Second, the communication between gifted teenagers and people is very bad.
It stands to reason that with Xie Yanbo's intelligence, he can do this in terms of scientific research.
However, there were also many problems in the juvenile class at that time, for example, most of the juvenile class, although the scientific research level was good, they had little power to protect themselves in terms of life.
It is precisely because they have not experienced social interaction in middle and high school that this group of so-called "prodigies" are very poor in interpersonal communication.
In normal times, he especially provokes people, and Xie Yanbo belongs to this type.
He completed his bachelor's degree a year before Xie Yanbo, and was later admitted because of his outstanding performance, becoming an academician of the Academy of Sciences and becoming Xie Yanbo's doctoral student.
After completing his master's degree, Xie Yanbo was admitted by Zhou Guangzhao, then vice chairman of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to become his doctoral supervisor.
However, Xie Yanbo's weakness in not being able to interact with others hurt him.
He has a haughty personality, is not good at words, and has a bad relationship with his teachers, which is why he has not graduated yet.
Eventually, he was forced into the United States.
Xie Yanbo's strength is still very good, and when he went to study at Princeton, Philip Anderson became interested in him.
Professor Anderson was the Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1977 and is a great physicist.
Xie Yanbo is under Anderson's door, which is undoubtedly a good thing for his future prospects.
However, Xie Yanbo himself reverted to his old ways after becoming Anderson's **.
Lu Zhou does not have much respect for a Nobel laureate, but will unceremoniously point out that there are too many mistakes in this article.
He even wrote a ** for his own teacher.
Although Dr. Anderson has certain academic attainments, he has a pride in his bones, which is why Anderson and Xie Yanbo do not deal with each other very much.
Eventually, Xie Yanbo got his Ph.D. from Anderson and had to return to his home country.
After Xie Yanbo returned, he was persuaded by his colleagues at the Academy of Sciences to study for his doctorate.
After all, if Xie Yanbo wants to thrive here, he must have a good future.
However, the arrogant Xie Yanbo directly turned away the people of the Academy of Sciences.
Perhaps because he didn't get two master's degrees, Xie Yanbo already had a kind of resistance mentality, thinking that even if he didn't have a master's degree, he could find a good job in college.
So he went to the Academy of Sciences to apply for a job, but was rejected.
At that time, the Academy of Sciences had clear regulations that only those who had obtained a doctorate could teach in the Academy of Sciences.
Conclusion: After that, because Xie Yanbo was indeed an outstanding young talent, the Academy of Sciences gave Xie Yanbo a high evaluation and arranged him in the Department of Physics of the Academy of Sciences to study for a doctorate and a graduate degree.
But it took him so many years to get an associate professor position in the field of modern physics, and he didn't get a doctorate, which caused a big obstacle to his future.
But the author felt that he was a free man, following his own heart and studying his own learning. In September of next year, he won the 8th Outstanding Teacher Award of "Sleepy Learning", and he is already making progress in his field.
He just doesn't understand the world, and he hasn't done anything hurtful, he just needs to have a clear conscience.
Perhaps it was because the gate was so dazzling that he would never be able to enter the door to communicate with people.
