1955 There is a talent candidate in Tangshan, Hebei Province. In that year's college entrance examination, he got 100, 98 and 96 points in mathematics and physics respectively, and got full marks in almost all subjects in the college entrance examination. It stands to reason that he must have chosen all the universities in China, including two top universities in China-Tsinghua and Peking University.
However, he achieved such good results, and after volunteering for the Physics Department of Peking University and the Water Conservancy Department of Tsinghua, he was rejected by Tsinghua Peking University for various reasons, so that he had to move to Beijing Petroleum Institute. Why?
The candidate's name is Wang Demin. 1937 was born in a scholarly family in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. His father is Wang, the vice president of Beijing Tongren Hospital. When Wang was studying in the United States, he met his mother, a Swiss girl, Wen Anqing. They fell in love quickly and firmly entered this transnational marriage.
Later, Wang Shimin returned home with Wen Anqing. One went to the hospital as a doctor, and the other went to university of international business and economics as a teacher. Wang Demin is the oldest in this family. There is a brother and a sister on him. The whole family likes Wang Demin very much.
And the education of Wang Demin, mother Wen Anqing is also hands-on. But she doesn't know much about Chinese, so she only teaches in English. Therefore, Wang Demin is fluent in English, but knows nothing about Chinese. She began to learn Chinese in the fourth grade, and he spoke Chinese better in middle school.
However, the reason why Wang Demin achieved such good results in 1955 was not because of language problems. At that time, Wang Demin's Chinese was no different from that of ordinary people. The reason why he was rejected was mainly because of his ancestry-he is a mixed-race person from China and Sweden.
At that time, hybrids were very unpopular, which is why Wen Anqing always left Wang Demin at home when he was a child, because his brothers and sisters all came from other people's gossip. So the last one who accepted him was Beijing Petroleum Institute, which filled in his last volunteer form.
Young and promising, Wang Demin is handsome and has deep eyes. If he plays it now, he must be the favorite school grass in school. But at that time, because of his mixed-race status, there were no girls around him, which saved him a lot. Since then, Wang Demin has devoted himself to his studies.
He studied oil production in the drilling department of Beijing Petroleum Institute, and got excellent results in school, with full marks of 5 in all subjects. 1960 After graduation, Wang Demin refused the kindness of the school to let him stay in school and volunteered to go to Daqing Oilfield, hoping to make some contributions to China's oil production.
As soon as he arrived in Daqing Oilfield, he discovered the defects of the internationally used Heino method at that time, and through his own research, he derived a formula for calculating the oil well pressure in accordance with Daqing Oilfield 196 1, which was called "Songliao method", which avoided many risks and made great contributions to the exploitation of Daqing Oilfield.
Later, in the spirit of seeking truth from facts, he continued to study and developed a set of most suitable and effective mining technologies for Daqing Oilfield, which filled the technical gap of oil exploitation in China. By 1970, he had led the whole team to achieve more than 20 major scientific research achievements, three of which reached the world advanced level at that time.
1978, due to his outstanding contribution and strong ability, Wang Demin was appointed as the deputy chief engineer of Daqing Petroleum Administration Bureau. Five years later, he was rated as a senior engineer and became the chief engineer in 1986. He worked day and night for China's petroleum industry with more than 1000 technicians.
In 2009, Wang Demin won the "Science and Technology Achievement Award" in ho leung ho lee foundation. In 20 16, an asteroid in the sky was named "Wang Demin Star". Today, although Wang Demin is 83 years old, he still struggles for China's oil industry. After decades of hard work, he has made countless contributions to the country.
Although Wang Demin failed to enter Tsinghua and Peking University as expected, through his own efforts, he overcame the secular prejudice and gained everyone's respect, becoming one of the biggest contributors to China's oil industry, which is exactly what he said: "Mountains and rivers are heavy, no way back has another village."
