One day in the early 1930s, in Suzhou, a child lingered on a small bridge for a long time before walking to a house not far away. After entering the door, I bumped into my father The father saw the test paper in the child's hand at a glance, then read it for a long time, and then pointed to the math test paper with 99 points and said, "Why isn't your math score 100?" Something so rigorous. "My father's expression is very strange, as if it is inconceivable to get full marks in mathematics. The child's name is Wang Shoujue, and his father's name is Wang Jitong, which is quite famous in history. In the relevant historical records, the reporter found such a record: Wang Jitong (1875- 1948), also known as Ji Kai, whose real name was Jin Meng and whose real name was Xiao Xu, was from Jiangsu, and 1890 to 1895 studied mathematics in Wentongtang, Shi Jing. 1927 with Cai Yuanpei to prepare for the Academia Sinica, 1928 to join the Academy of Engineering as a researcher ... famous mathematicians and electromechanical experts ... are called "Wang Algebra" for studying the differential method of quaternion function. Wang Jitong had extraordinary importance and particularity in the period of modern scientific and technological transformation in China.

When Wang Shoujue was born, his father was 5 1 year old. In Wang Shoujue's memory, his father didn't care much about himself, but occasionally he talked to himself. I was deeply impressed twice: once, my father told him that money and official positions are things outside the body, and when people die, they are gone. Only learning is the truth and can last forever. To pursue, we must pursue; On another occasion, his father told him that his ancestor Wang Ao, who grew up in the Ming Dynasty, was the top scholar in the imperial examination. Because he was jealous by the examiner, he was dismissed as a flower detector. Finally, he became prime minister. Three ancient archways in Luxiang Ancient Village, dongshan town, Suzhou were built for him. My father said that all the people who framed Wang Ao had left, but Wang Ao's article on "The View of Ancient Literature" still remained. ...

Wang Shoujue's eldest brother, Wang Shoujing, was a professor at MIT and Zhejiang University successively, and was the founder of China machinery industry. Wang Shourong, the second brother, has successively served as professor and dean of Nankai University and Tianjin University, and is a famous expert in precision machinery and instruments in China. The eldest sister is the founder of Shanghai Maternity Hospital, and she is called "South Wangbeilin (Lin)". The second sister, Wang Mingzhen, aged 99, was the first female professor in Tsinghua University. Wang Shouwu, the youngest brother, is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has been a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Wang Shoujue said that he summed up his father's educational methods in three and a half sentences: first, example is better than words; Second, it is better to talk more than to see (observe children); Third, respect self-development; The last sentence is-never mind.
