Since ancient times, many gifted children have emerged. For example, Ganluo during the Warring States Period, although he was young, he was an official to a high position; Li He of the Tang Dynasty was able to recite poems when he was young; Yin Xi, on the other hand, is a genius boy in the physics world, born in 1983.
As a child, Yin Xi's hobbies were not focused on physical talent, but were passionate about art, sports, and chess. When he was still playing with the mud, his parents would often find his home full of his immature artworks, and although the lines were simple, they could feel that he was expressing his thoughts through painting.
He has long memorized the rules of various chess games and some simple chess skills. At the same time, he also used swimming to vent the boy's exuberant energy and enjoy the sense of security wrapped in water, which also brought him physical strength.
Each class will have a unique presence that allows them to excel in exams without paying close attention to the lectures. Yin Xi is one such student. It is said that Yin Xi does not like to write, and most students will deepen their understanding of knowledge through notes, but Yin Xi just looks at it and does not remember the main points of the teacher.
Yin Xi's parents know that learning needs to be taken seriously and follow the teacher's requirements. However, instead of directly blaming the child when he returned home, they learned about the situation as soon as they came home and tried to find out why the child excelled.
When asked why Yin Xi didn't take notes, his answer was that he had fully grasped what his teacher asked him to memorize. At first, his parents were skeptical, but when he memorized the knowledge points accurately and was able to come up with a variety of ways to solve the problem, they finally understood their child's choice.
What really sets Yin apart is his love of calculus. When he was in elementary school, he found a book on calculus on a bookshelf by chance, and since then, he has replaced the toys in the hands of children of the same age with calculus that he only came into contact with in college.
As Yin Xi grows up, his learning progress has far exceeded the level of ordinary children. He is a very strong learner, and often only needs to listen to lectures to grasp the content taught by the teacher, and even preview the later knowledge by himself.
Therefore, his mother supported him to skip a grade to the genius class when he was not yet 11 years old, and was successfully admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 12.
Yoon Hee pressed the fast-forward button while he was in college. Instead of finding knowledge obscure, he likened it to water in a pool, as easy as swimming. He is like a budding grass, desperately absorbing the nutrients around him.
It is often said that only through hard work can one look effortless, and in Yin Xi, not only has the blessing of high intelligence, but also has several times more effort than others.
In the dormitory in the early morning, there is always a sound of water, which is familiar and common. The sound of water is a sign that Yin Xi gets up every day to review. Since entering the school, he has been waking up early almost every day to immerse himself in the world of research topics.
In class, he is a deep thinker, and he will persistently discuss any knowledge points that he does not understand with his professors and classmates until all doubts are solved in his heart.
It is often said that success requires 99% talent and 1% effort, but Yin Xi added the remaining 100% of his efforts on the basis of this 99%.
Yin Xi, a physics genius from the East, finally received the favor of many foreign universities when he became an adult. He chose Harvard University as his place to further his studies and brought the learning habits of the gifted class to Harvard's life.
At the age of 23, he successfully graduated with a doctorate. In order to retain this genius, Harvard University did not hesitate to change the century-old postdoctoral admission practice, and promised to give him a series of support such as funding, equipment, and research support.
Yin's research has focused on string theory, which is a very difficult field, and since the theory was discovered in 1968, there have been only a few conjectures that are not very precise.
His life seems to have pressed a fast-forward button, and every step on the road to his studies is one step ahead of others. However, when he had a successful career on the other side of the ocean and once again attracted people's attention, it was because of a speech.
In an interview, Yin Xi was asked about his academic journey and future plans, but he said that although China has trained me, this does not change the fact that he will not return to China.
These remarks caused an uproar in China, and everyone questioned them one after another, and accusations followed. It is even reported that more than 80 percent of international students at some of China's top universities have chosen not to return to China.
Behind the shocking data, we see a large number of Chinese people going overseas. Yin Xi also publicly explained the reason why he chose to become an American citizen, in addition to the fact that he has adapted to life abroad, and more importantly, because the scientific research environment abroad is far better than that in China, such as peer academic exchanges and better experimental conditions for the selection of his research topic - string theory.
However, recent statistics show that more than 70% of students currently studying abroad choose to return to China to work. In recent years, China's scientific level has made remarkable achievements in rapid development, including manned space flights, atmospheric observation technology of Polar Eye-1, domestication technology of tetraploid wild rice seeds, and the control of the maximum qubit number of Zu Chongzhi.
In China, where science and technology are developing rapidly, the cutting-edge scientific research environment is becoming more and more perfect, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign scholars and international students to engage in scientific research. It is expected that in the future, China will introduce more preferential policies in the introduction of talents, and the development of science and technology will usher in a new peak.
We don't comment too much on Yin Xi's personal choices. However, in the difficult days of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many Chinese scientists chose to return to China to serve the country after completing their studies, and they worked a blank sheet of paper and dedicated their lives to the country.
It is expected that more scientific talents will emerge in the future and return to China after completing their studies to help build the country. Although there will be many challenges, and it may even be very difficult, there is a good saying, children are not ugly, and gold and silver nests are not as good as their own grass nests.
In any case, home is the best, and we look forward to more people being able to choose to go home, making our home stronger and our families happier.
