Edison once said, "Genius is 99% sweat and 1% inspiration." This sentence is absolutely a wise saying for hard-working people, but there are always a few people whose lives are like playing a game, opening a plug-in and getting promoted all the way without any obstacles. Yin, known as a "prodigy" since childhood, is one of them.

The childhood of a prodigy

Speaking of Yin, all the teachers who have taught him are full of praise, and they all use "genius" and "prodigy" to summarize him. Yin was born in 1983. She is a standard post-80s generation. In every post-80s childhood memory, there are fun games such as bungee jumping, Woodenhead and hopscotch. Everyone had a good time.

But Yin is an exception. He doesn't like playing outside Whenever he is free, he eats books and stays in his father's study all day. Slowly, many contents in the book, although he could not understand, were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Yin's parents are both high flyers from China Geo University. They are very knowledgeable. Seeing that he was so interested in books, he simply regarded him as his own student and began to teach the knowledge in textbooks. Xiao Yinxi is also very smart and has a strong memory. Dad remembers a lot of knowledge once. Gradually, in the process of learning, the father found that his son was very talented in thinking ability and spatial imagination. He specially brought some junior high school physics books and math books. As he expected, Xiao Yinxi was fascinated at once and could not extricate himself from the ocean of knowledge.

Under the guidance of his father and Xiao Yinxi's keen interest, he has an extraordinary knowledge reserve at an early age. 1990 After entering the primary school, because of his outstanding talent, the school directly let him jump the third grade according to his data evaluation and become the youngest student in the third grade class. This incident was a sensation in the school at that time, and he also became a prodigy discussed by teachers and parents.

In class, he doesn't take a lot of notes in a hurry like other students. He will analyze the difficult and important parts separately and then make a plan. Moreover, he likes to "challenge" teachers and often asks why. Many teachers who ask questions can't answer, and teachers love and fear him.

The road to study is smooth and bumpy.

From 65438 to 0993, Beijing No.8 Middle School opened an experimental class with extraordinary intelligence, which specially recruited some students with strong learning ability. The teachers inside are all famous educators in China, and many parents are rushing with their children. However, the threshold of the school is particularly high. In addition to passing the "comprehensive quality survey of exceptional children", the admitted students also need a strong brain, and there are often some unconstrained problems in the interview assessment.

In a pile of students, Yin Xili overcame all difficulties and became one thirtieth of them, which is where he officially began his brilliant life.

At first, Yin didn't adapt. The competition here is too strong, and every child has his own uniqueness. The pace of the teacher's lectures is particularly fast, and a lot of content is too late to start the second class. He consults his parents every night after he comes home. When his first exam results came out, he was blindsided at once, and his results were particularly unsatisfactory, falling directly from the former ever-victorious general to the last.

In this case, he became very anxious and wanted to go back to his old school when his father was sentenced.

This sentence woke him up: "Everyone is good at different fields. Why do you have to compare your own shortcomings with others' strengths? "

Yin was suddenly enlightened. His best major is physics. Why didn't I study physics?

As a breakthrough? With the passage of time, Yin gradually followed the teacher's footsteps and made rapid progress in her grades. Under the guidance of the teacher, he became more depressed and brave. And his physics scores have soared. In three years, he not only finished his college knowledge, but also began to study the popularization of physics at that time!

1996, 12 years old, he was admitted to the Physics Department of the Chinese University of Science and Technology with a high score of 572, becoming the youngest student in the school. At that time, the media reported in succession: "A physics prodigy was born!" On the first day of school, when he came to school with his luggage, the whole school was boiling. The students looked at the boy who was about to become their own classmate, but was nearly 10 years younger than themselves, and they all cast their eyes of surprise and admiration.

When he was a student, he made more achievements in physics. 200 1, Yin Shunli graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China. 17 years old, received the admission notice from Harvard University and won the highest scholarship in full.

His outstanding achievements made him successful.

When he was studying at Harvard, his life was very simple, with dormitory, college building and laboratory at 3: 1 every day. This paper mainly studies string theory, black hole entropy in quantum gravity, supersymmetric bound state in string theory and so on. His papers were often published in scientific newspapers at that time. In 2006, when many children of the same age were still in college, 22-year-old Yin had successfully graduated from Harvard Physics Department and became a doctor of physics. In addition, Harvard University specially broke the rules for him and made an exception to let him stay in school to continue his research work and pursue postdoctoral studies.

From 20 13 to 20 17, Yin won many awards for Si Long studies in the United States. Scientific Breakthrough Award-New Horizon Award in Physics and other awards, and also invited by the School of Physics of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, our alma mater, to give lectures on summer courses such as superstring perturbation theory for undergraduates and graduate students. On September 4th, 20 15, the High Energy Theory Research Group of Harvard University released: "Congratulations to Professor Yin Xijin on his promotion". A stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the physicists all over the world applaud this promising young physicist, who has become one of the young physicists with high hopes in the physics field.

Yin succeeded! His success has also brought controversy. When a reporter from China interviewed him, he asked him if he planned to return to China. Yin's answer instantly silenced the people present: "I don't want to go back to China for the time being. The research environment here is much better than in China. " After being reported by the media, Yin also became the target of many people. Everyone called him baiwenhang and gave up his motherland for the benefit.

During that time, Yin was scolded to death, and everyone shouted like a street mouse. Later, he said to others: "I also want to return to China, but in the domestic environment, the state has not invested as much money and manpower in scientific research as here." Once I return to China, many scientific research cannot be carried out at all. "

Everyone has his own choice. For example, the patriotic scientist Qian Xuesen once said, "I come from China and I want to go back to my motherland. I don't intend to live in America all my life. " Therefore, even though the road ahead was difficult, Qian Lao always adhered to his beliefs and finally returned to the embrace of the motherland and devoted his life to the motherland. But at the same time, many scientists choose to change their nationality and join other countries after careful consideration.

Fortunately, our country now attaches great importance to the training of scientists and the research of scientific research results. I believe that in the near future, not only our talents will not be exported, but also foreign talents will be attracted.
