It's just that not all prodigies can grow up smoothly, and some eventually become "injured Zhong Yong" and disappear from everyone.
13 years ago, there was such a prodigy Sun Tianchang in Wuhan, Hubei Province. Since his parents taught him to read from an early age, he was able to know more than 2,000 Chinese characters at the age of 2 and began to read independently. When he was a child, he read many books, including 4000 volumes. What is even more surprising is that he didn't go to school for a few days, only attended kindergarten for three days and junior high school for five days, and also took the college entrance examination.
Sun Tianchang originally wanted to go to China University of Science and Technology. After failing the first college entrance examination, he retailed for another year. In the college entrance examination in 2007, at the age of 13, he finally got a high score of 659 points, reaching the score of getting into Tsinghua. At that time, many people, including teachers, advised him to go to Tsinghua, but he insisted on going to China University of Science and Technology instead of Tsinghua.
13 years later, what happened to the prodigy?
First, a prodigy who has read a lot of poetry books.
1In March, 994, Sun Tianchang was born in an intellectual family in Wuhan, Hubei. Grandpa is a high school Chinese teacher and grandma is a primary school teacher. Parents work in government agencies. Under the influence of his family, Sun Tianchang liked reading since he was a child.
Sun Tianchang's enlightenment to English, mathematics, physics and chemistry began at the age of 0 to 3. At that time, his mother put Chinese characters on the wall and often showed them to him so that he could recognize things and words at the same time. With the help of his parents, he went up and down the stairs every day and learned to count, add and subtract.
By the age of 2, Sun Tianchang had learned more than 2,000 Chinese characters and started reading independently.
1999, Sun Tianchang just turned five and his grandparents retired, so he concentrated on teaching him at home.
That year, my parents also gave up their office work and moved their family from Yangquan to Taiyuan to work full-time in a private school. Later, when private schools closed down, they simply went home and became "full-time teachers".
In order to cultivate Sun Tianchang's will, my father accompanied him to run, play ball and play Go every day. His mother "plays" English with him, making English words into wind chimes and touching them from word to sentence every day, so that he can read English at the age of five.
Classic education was not popular at that time, but their parents had realized the benefits of letting their children read classics from an early age.
Under the guidance of his parents, Sun Tianchang was able to recite more than 280 ancient poems at the age of three and a half. When he was seven or eight years old, he memorized classic works such as The Analects of Confucius, University and The Doctrine of the Mean. At the age of 65,438+00, he began to dabble in popular science works such as A Brief History of Time ... In his early years, he read many books, about 4,000 volumes, involving astronomy and the golden mean.
What's more interesting is that he treats junior and senior high school textbooks as extracurricular books, and he can finish reading a geometry book in one afternoon, and he can't put it down.
Many people think that Sun Tianchang is a bookworm. In fact, he has a wide range of hobbies. Besides reading, he spends more time playing chess, drawing, playing ball and roller skating. It is understood that he can draw a sketch in 2 minutes and an ink painting in 10 minutes. He is also good at Go and table tennis, and has personally planted corn for many times.
To this end, the local people call Sun Tianchang, who is "well-read and has a wide range of hobbies", a child prodigy, and he is very curious and fond of him.
Second, after only three days of kindergarten and five days of junior high school, Sun Tianchang has achieved a lot.
Sun Tianchang did not receive formal school education, did not attend any extra-long classes or amateur classes, only attended kindergarten for three days and junior high school for five days.
That's because on the third day of kindergarten, he peed his pants, and the teacher actually punished him to hang in the sun. At the age of 7, I went to a junior high school in Taiyuan. Just because I was late in the morning, I was punished by the teacher for standing in the corridor for 30 minutes. So his parents couldn't bear to let him suffer at school, thinking that school education was not suitable for him, so they chose to let him study at home.
He doesn't need to finish his homework, and there is no pressure to rank in the exam. He has made great achievements along the way:
At the age of 6, he won the first prize in the junior middle school group of the first children's oral English contest in Taiyuan; 10 passed Grade 4; 10 years old, the second prize of the first national junior high school physical chemistry competition.
He also memorized the Analects of Confucius, Zi Tongzhi Jian, Historical Records and other classic works, and became a famous local prodigy.
Third, I took the college entrance examination twice, and got 659 points, but I didn't go to Tsinghua.
Sun Tianchang has no formal school education, only attended kindergarten for 3 days and junior high school for 5 days, but all subjects are excellent.
With a college dream, he is going to take the college entrance examination in 2006.
In 2005, in order to let him have a systematic study, his parents sent him to a local private middle school, where he studied for one year and took part in the college entrance examination in 2006. As a result, that year, he got an excellent score of 594.5.
According to this result, he can go to many good universities, but he decided to go only to the Chinese University of Science and Technology, so he decided to repeat his studies and take the college entrance examination again.
This time, his parents decided to send him to Taiyuan No.5 Middle School and No.3 Middle School, a key middle school in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province.
After a year's long review, Sun Tianchang, aged 13, took part in the 2007 college entrance examination, and finally he got 659 points.
In those days, Tsinghua got 654 points, which means his 659 points can be reported to Tsinghua. Because many relatives and friends, including teachers, advised him to go to Tsinghua.
But his grandfather said, "The child is still young, and the purpose of applying for China University of Science and Technology is to accept the management of the school's juvenile detention center. Only what is suitable for children is the best. "
So Sun Tianchang followed the advice of his family, gave up going to Tsinghua and chose to go to China University of Science and Technology.
Fourth, what now?
Sun Tianchang, 13 years old, is already 1.76 meters tall. He looks healthy, lively, smart and smart. Besides, he is very independent. On the day of college, among all freshmen, he was the only one who dragged his luggage and came to school alone without his parents. Parents are relieved to see their son so independent.
No one expected that Sun Tianchang began to be a little playful after he went to college, because without the control of his parents, he could better develop many of his hobbies. He often plays football and tennis, so he spends less time on his studies and his academic performance has dropped a lot.
Finally, when he graduated from undergraduate course, he couldn't get the qualification of graduate student because of his poor academic performance, which was very surprising. However, at this time, he is only 18 years old, and he can make adjustments after choosing to go home.
So he began to build a car behind closed doors at home, and with the help of his family, he slowly recovered his original learning state and tried to review the postgraduate subjects. 20 15 successfully passed the postgraduate examination with his own efforts and continued to receive formal college education in the university. As a child prodigy, Sun Tianchang believes that he will have better development in the future and make contributions to the construction of the motherland.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion
Looking back on Sun Tianchang's growth process, he was very smart since he was a child, because he was very talented and interested in books. After he went to college, his academic performance declined, not because he had no talent, but because he didn't study so hard. Fortunately, he was able to adjust in time later, otherwise he would "hurt Zhong Yong".
Therefore, a person's talent is important, but hard work is more important; A person who refuses to work hard, no matter how talented, will eventually disappear from everyone; On the contrary, a person with average qualifications can fly first and succeed as long as he works hard enough.
