Young and talented people are generally regarded as prodigies and go to school several years faster than others. According to common sense, a person should go to college as an adult, but because of their excellent academic performance, these people can make an exception and be admitted to college before 18 years old. In China, a 15-year-old genius failed in the exam in Tsinghua, but was admitted to Xigong University. Twenty years later, he became the chief designer of J-20. He is Yang Wei.

Become famous at a young age

Yang Wei, 1963, a native of Zizhong, Sichuan. You know, in the 1960s, China's educational resources were not very developed, and the average person who went to high school was considered as high flyers. However, Yang Wei has achieved excellent academic performance since childhood, and he can remember a lot of knowledge after learning once. 1978, when Yang Wei 15 years old, he signed up for the local senior high school entrance examination. Results After the test results came out, Yang Wei was only one point away from the perfect score in the senior high school entrance examination, and he had dabbled in a lot of high school knowledge. So, Yang Wei was approved to take the college entrance examination that year to see if he could directly enter the university.

However, Yang Wei had just graduated from junior high school at that time, and knew almost nothing about the college entrance examination and had not practiced it, so he simply applied for Tsinghua and Peking University, the two highest universities in the country, thinking that if he failed, he would go back and prepare again. It's a pity that 15-year-old genius failed the exam in Tsinghua, just a few minutes away from the score line of Tsinghua Peking University. If we can give him a few months' preparation, maybe he can be admitted directly. Yang Wei's performance has attracted the attention of many universities. Although he was not admitted to the school of his choice, everyone could see that Yang Wei was a talented person, so many universities offered him an olive branch, saying that he could be admitted without exception.

Yang Wei hesitated at first, because all his majors were mathematics and mechanics. He thought that he was not very interested in these majors, and even if he went to college, he might not be able to make achievements, so he refused the requirements of these universities. It was not until a university appeared and said that he could study aerodynamics that Yang finally decided to enter this university, which is the famous Northwestern Polytechnical University in China.

College career

After Yang Wei was admitted to Xigong University, he did not live up to the expectations of his family and teachers, and showed extraordinary ability in school. In this university with a strong academic atmosphere, Yang Wei is not conceited because he is young. Instead, he gets up at five o'clock every morning to study in the classroom and doesn't choose to go back to the dormitory to rest until 12 in the evening. Yang Wei, who maintained a high degree of self-discipline, graduated with honors and went on to further his studies. At the age of 22, Yang Wei successfully completed his master's degree and was invited to work as an aircraft engineering designer at AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute.

Here, Yang Wei met the person who influenced his life-Song, the chief designer of J10. Song taught him a lot about airplane manufacturing and gave Yang Wei a lot of help. Yang Wei has been growing up in this research center under the training of his mentor. At the age of 38, he has become the youngest aircraft designer in China aviation industry and has a bright future. Twenty years later, Yang Wei became the chief designer of the J-20 and made great contributions to the aviation industry in China. He interpreted the words "contribute to the country" with his own actions.
