Any talented person in this world will always be a little more arrogant than others, but he is crazy enough to dare to say that "no professor in Tsinghua is qualified to be my tutor". I only know one ancient one. Oh, by the way, this person only got 15 in the math college entrance examination. Who is this guy? Qian Zhongshu was also a famous writer and litterateur in modern times.
This kind of thing is very common. After all, although everyone keeps saying all-round development, everyone has likes and dislikes when eating a dish, let alone studying. Sometimes it is impossible to admit talent. When talents are really needed, in addition to being able to be top-notch all-rounders, colleges or employers are actually more inclined to those "partial talents".
For example, Tsinghua and Peking University, two top universities in China, have specially set up "talent classes", including the mysterious "Yao Ban" in Tsinghua. They are all contestants, but the results of the college entrance examination are not that important. There are also many outstanding talents who rely on one party to enter the college. Jiang Xinjie, who wrote the college entrance examination composition "The Death of a Red Rabbit", and Oracle Bone Inscriptions, who wrote the college entrance examination composition, were admitted to the university.
Tsinghua also has an example of exceptional admission. Qian Zhongshu, who was crazy to the limit, was admitted to Tsinghua.
Qian Zhongshu was born in 19 10. At that time, the Qing government was not extinct, and it was of course unrealistic to say that it would change suddenly after thousands of years. As a descendant of an educated family, Qian Zhongshu is more exposed to books such as Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Pian Ti Notes and Eighteen Poems.
As it happens, Qian Zhongshu's talent in literature is really good, so he has a very high vision since he was a child, and often opens his mouth to offend people. His father also specially changed the word "silence" for him, hoping that he could be silent and keep his words in mind. Of course, my father's diligent expectation finally fell through. I read Mr. Qian's works, and I can see his arrogance from every line.
Of course, Qian Zhongshu also has arrogant capital. 1929, 19-year-old Qian Zhongshu took the college entrance examination and entered the Tsinghua University. But Tsinghua had a hard time in admission, because Qian Zhongshu's scores were too uneven, right?
Qian Zhongshu's math has been very poor, and he only got 15 in the college entrance examination. Theoretically, this kind of score should not appear on the desk of Tsinghua Admissions Office, but it happened that Qian Zhongshu's scores in Chinese and English were too high, and even he got full marks in English, so he suddenly pulled back the lost points in mathematics.
So Qian Zhongshu's test paper was placed in front of the then principal Luo Jialun. Luo Jialun said excitedly after reading the examination paper, why don't such excellent students as Chinese and English recruit? This child, I want to, must be admitted! So Qian Zhongshu successfully entered Tsinghua University.
Luo Jialun decided to admit Qian Zhongshu for his own reasons. Luo Jialun is also poor at math. When I was admitted to Peking University, I got full marks from Hu Shi for my composition, but I got a big duck egg for my math.
Cai Yuanpei, then president of Peking University, discussed with the Peking University Admissions Organizing Committee and decided to give these students with special talents a chance, so Luo Jialun entered Peking University.
1933, Qian Zhongshu will graduate from Tsinghua University soon. At that time, all the professors in the Foreign Languages Department wanted him to stay in Tsinghua to continue his postgraduate studies, but he got the arrogance of Qian Zhongshu and bluntly said, "No professor in Tsinghua is qualified to be a tutor of money."
However, it is said that Qian Zhongshu does have this kind of capital pride. 1935 directly obtained the highest average scores of all previous Chinese-Americans and Chinese-English G-type students, and went to Oxford University in England. 1938 was invited back to Tsinghua University as a professor. Can a person who dares to be so crazy not have two brushes?
