Xie Yanbo once hoped to become the first genius in my country to get a doctorate before the age of 20, and even he was admitted to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 11.
But decades have passed, and now there are very few people who know such a genius.
Why did the genius boy finally return to the sea of people and be oblivious to everyone? What happened to him, and what happened to him now?

Became famous at a young age. A little boy who exudes a talent that his peers have never had walked into the University of Science and Technology of China, and everyone does not know that the young man in front of him is the student who will shine in the University of Science and Technology of China in the future, the first juvenile class of the 78th grade - Xie Yanbo.
In order to support this large family, Xie Yanbo's parents really didn't have extra time to take care of Xie Yanbo as a child, so they sent Xie Yanbo to the countryside and grew up under the care of his grandmother.
It was not until school age that he returned from the countryside to the city.
When he arrives in the city, he is curious but unfamiliar with his surroundings and does not like to talk.
Everyone said that Xie Yanbo was a dull wood, and he couldn't understand what he was trying to say when communicating with others.
His mother, of course, didn't know that it was Asperger's trouble.
This disease is not very common, and the symptoms are slow thinking, slightly sluggish reactions, and lack of linguistic and logical analysis skills, but this disease can make the patient have abnormal comprehension and memory.
Although many people are not optimistic about Xie Yanbo's future development, his father feels that this is just a child who is still young and will not communicate with others.
As long as the leadership is good in the future, the future will not be small, who would have thought that Xie Yanbo's father would "become a prophecy".
In the process of Xie Yanbo's father's guidance to Xie Yanbo's study, Xie Yanbo's father and teachers found that Xie Yanbo's comprehension and memory were exceptionally strong, and Xie Yanbo, who was only in the lower grades, was already proficient in the mathematics knowledge of the upper grades.
Father Xie was excited and instructed him to learn advanced knowledge, and worked with Xie Yanbo to formulate a strict study schedule, and Xie Yanbo also lived up to expectations, and began to study the university curriculum when he was in elementary school.
And his grasp of knowledge is getting deeper and deeper, reaching such an academic level at this age, and even being a leader in the country.
Not only that, Xie Yanbo, who only has a "primary school diploma", has shown his talents in a variety of mathematics, physics and chemistry competitions in the future, and even became a well-known "Chinese prodigy", which surprised people who once thought that he would not have any great achievements.
This prodigy-like teenager naturally won the favor of one of China's top universities, the University of Science and Technology of China, and enrolled him in the junior class, so will his development really be smooth sailing in the future?
Wet behind the ears. The theory in education believes that human development is sequential and staged, and each stage of each person should be gradual and not achieved overnight, which should be the most corresponding to Xie Yanbo's theory.
However, while Xie Yanbo continued to make academic progress, his own shortcomings began to be gradually exposed.
In 1982, Xie Yanbo graduated from university a year ahead of schedule and began graduate school at the age of only 15.
But behind this glamorous appearance, a crisis also came, and he was about to pay for his paranoid and arrogant character, and after Xie Yanbo graduated with a master's degree at the age of 18, he followed Academician Zhou Guangzhao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to study for a doctorate.
In the most proud days, Xie Yanbo became increasingly stiff due to his personality problems.
Academician Zhou, as a great contributor to China's two bombs and one satellite, believes that there is still a big gap between Xie Yanbo and Xie Yanbo in terms of quality when he becomes a doctoral student, which makes Dr. Xie Yanbo unable to graduate.
Xie Yanbo could not accept this situation, and at the suggestion of his university teachers, he went to the United States to study for a doctorate.
During his time at Princeton University in the United States, Xie Yanbo originally hoped that his mentor would be Andrew, but Andrew already had other students, so the school recommended him to study under the guidance of a female professor.
In the process of studying for a Ph.D., Xie Yanbo's academic ability was once again demonstrated, and just as Dr. Xie Yanbo was about to graduate, he unexpectedly received an application from Professor Andrew.
However, Xie Yanbo, who had already won the favor of Professor Andrew, once again contradicted his mentor.
His teacher Andrew, as a Nobel Prize winner in physics, has brilliant achievements in academics, but his personality is in direct opposition to Xie Yanbo's personality, and the academic differences between the two are becoming increasingly irreconcilable.
Gradually, the feud between Xie Yanbo and his mentor Andrew deepened, and there were even rumors that Xie Yanbo had coerced Andrew.
Xie Yanbo is also seen as a factor of instability, and some leaders of USTC also hope that Xie Yanbo will return to China as soon as possible.
Under the influence of these factors, Xie Yanbo's study abroad journey ended hastily, and the prodigy returned to China, but unfortunately it was still in the identity of the time he set off. Is he going to accept his fate like this?
Stick to the status quo. Fate doesn't always favor someone, and it doesn't hurt someone all the time.
After Xie Yanbo returned to China in discouragement, his alma mater, the School of Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China, sent an invitation to Xie Yanbo to serve as a faculty member in the School of Physics.
Xie Yanbo accepted the invitation, and a few years later, he entered the palace of marriage and became a father.
But when a reporter interviewed Anderson and him about the situation between him that year, Xie Yanbo was still very dissatisfied with Andrew.
It was because his academic research successfully challenged Anderson's academic achievements that Anderson held a grudge and deliberately made it impossible to pass and prevent him from obtaining a doctorate, which led to a series of results later, which is embarrassing.
After returning to China, in addition to academic research in mathematics and physics, Xie Yanbo was also keen on playing chess and other literary and artistic activities, just like an ordinary person.
But what is puzzling is that Xie Yanbo's personality has not changed in the slightest, and he has not learned any experience from various things before, as if he is still a genius boy back then.
In class, they will clash with colleagues who have different points of view, and even show actions or expressions in class that ordinary people cannot understand.
Today, Xie Yanbo is an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, and we can often see him publishing relevant academic **.
But on the one hand, he is a respected scholar, on the other hand, he is a paranoid eccentric, and the situation of the prodigy is now like this, so it is no wonder that the students of the University of Science and Technology of China will say: "Probably in the eyes of the prodigy Xie, we are all stupid."
