"If the flowers are in full bloom, butterflies will fly." As long as you have enough knowledge and talent, you will always attract Bole to know horses.
China is a country that cherishes talents, and some talents with low academic qualifications will be admitted without exception. 1 1 Years ago, Cai Wei, a middle-aged man from Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, was admitted as a doctoral student by Fudan University. He only has a high school education, and he is also the first doctoral student with a high school education to apply for Fudan University since China resumed the degree system. 38-year-old, riding a tricycle to support his family before entering school. What's so remarkable about him that he was admitted to Fudan University as a doctoral student?
Obsessed with ancient literature
Wei Cai
Cai Wei, 197 1, was born in an ordinary family in Jinzhou, Liaoning. He loved ancient literature since childhood, especially classical poetry and calligraphy. From elementary school to high school, Chinese has always been outstanding, and even rare words that Chinese teachers don't know will ask him for advice. Cai Wei's senior high school is a key local middle school. The school requires students to develop in all aspects and cannot be biased towards any subject. Cai Wei, on the other hand, ignored the regulations of the school, only preferred Chinese, and even didn't want to learn math and English, which led to his failure in the college entrance examination.
After graduation, Cai Wei did not choose to repeat, and became a worker in a rubber hose factory. 1994, Cai Wei, who was unemployed at home because of the factory depression, set up a stall near the shopping mall to sell some small toys to make ends meet. Although living in poverty, Cai Wei enjoys it because he has more free time to read books. Cai Wei is so obsessed with literary books that he is in no hurry when he is old enough to get married. His parents asked the matchmaker to introduce him and found him a local wife.

Because his wife was ill and needed money, Cai Wei closed the booth and started riding a tricycle. She goes to 30 yuan every day, ranging from a few yuan to a dozen yuan, which is much better than when she set up a stall, but she spends much less time reading. In order to read more books, Cai Wei wrote a letter to Professor Liu Zhao in Peking University. Knowing that he is a cultural lover, he decided to hire Cai Wei temporarily. After receiving the reply, Cai Wei was very excited, which meant that he could read again. Because there is no money to copy ancient poems, the library has become a frequent place for Cai Wei. Because some classic books can only be read and borrowed, Cai Wei recorded them by hand and kept them in mind.
Bole teacher

In recent years, Cai Wei kept reading ancient books and consulting materials, just to solve the problems in ancient books. The problem was solved, and he felt very meaningful. Mr. Qiu Xigui, a teacher of Cai Wei, said: "In today's society, a hard-working talent like Cai Wei has provided him with a good learning environment and cultivated his interest in development, which is of great benefit to basic disciplines and social culture."
Because of his love for ancient literature, Cai Wei got to know his teacher, Qiu Xigui. Mr. Qiu has a rigorous style and has known each other for more than ten years. 1995, wrote to Mr. Qiu, and Mr. Qiu wrote back, expressing admiration for his self-study and hard work, and encouraging him to continue to adhere to ancient literature. Speaking of Mr. Qiu Xigui, he is a famous figure in the field of ancient philology. He keeps a low profile and seldom shows up.

After 2003, Cai Wei also published several articles about Sinology. Some of Mr. Qiu's ideas are novel and have his own unique opinions, which are very enlightening and helpful to me. Learning this subject requires the ancients to have a deep understanding of it. Cai Wei never took a specialized course in ancient literature, but many ancient books handed down from generation to generation were memorized. Cai Wei is even more familiar with the study of ancient books and the use of syntax than many professional researchers, which is inseparable from his ten years of efforts.
Specially recruited to enter Fudan University
By the unanimous decision of the professors of Fudan University's Ancient Literature Research Center, Cai Wei's knowledge can fully apply for a doctorate and become a professional in China's ancient literature research. However, due to Cai Wei's serious partiality, this level obviously can't pass. After discussion, the professors came up with a plan. Fudan University has implemented a system since 2000, that is, authoritative professors and doctoral supervisors can enroll doctoral students independently, and the examination questions are given by the supervisors themselves, so students do not need to take the unified examination. Mr. Qiu Xigui is a famous archaeologist and has this qualification.

However, Cai Wei, who has only a high school education, is still prohibited from applying for a doctorate. According to the regulations, to apply for a doctorate, he must have a master's degree or equivalent. Mr. Qiu Xigui, a co-professor of ancient literature, wrote to the Ministry of Education, hoping to give Cai Wei special permission to apply for doctoral qualification. The Ministry of Education also agreed to this request. So in 2009, 38-year-old Cai Wei became a doctoral student at Fudan University. His tutor is Mr. Qiu Xigui, who has been in love with teachers and students for more than ten years. Perhaps Cai Wei never thought that the biggest turning point in his life was this teacher.
Cai Wei is the first specially invited doctoral student since Fudan University was founded a century ago, which reflects Fudan University's eclectic thinking on outstanding talents. After entering the school, Cai Wei's road to literature has just begun. He must complete his undergraduate and master's studies and become a doctoral student. Because Cai Wei is self-taught, he needs to make up other professional knowledge and master a foreign language at the same time. After all, ancient literature is an ancient thing in China and a worldwide knowledge. He needs to use a foreign language when communicating with foreign scholars.
Conclusion:
Cai Wei doesn't have many plans for his future. My wife and children are still in Jinzhou, and my wife lives by delivering newspapers in her hometown. When he first came to Shanghai, in addition to some necessary daily necessities, Cai Wei also brought a big suitcase containing the ancient books he had accumulated for many years, which provided a comfortable environment for reading and communication. Cai Wei is satisfied and grateful to the teachers and scholars who have helped him.
