In the 1970s, the appearance of a gifted child shocked the whole country, that is, Ningbo, a child prodigy who is still fresh in people's memory. Like many gifted children, Ningbo has shown extraordinary talent and wisdom since childhood. You can recite poems and know Chinese characters at an early age. Of course, the power of this prodigy is not limited to reciting and memorizing texts. When he started reading books about Chinese medicine, he learned to take medicine without a teacher. After turning over the Go book several times, he began to play chess with adults. Ningbo's reading ability and acceptance ability are beyond the reach of most people.
In fact, there were many Bole in Ningbo's early life. At that time, a teacher saw Ningbo's talent and knew that he was a rare talent, so he wrote ten pages to recommend Ningbo to Vice Premier the State Council at that time.
In this way, the life of the genius Ningbo began to change. He changed from a local child to a national junior high school child. Suddenly, newspapers and TV stations all over the country are broadcasting the news of Ningbo, and Ningbo, which is 13 years old, has been widely concerned.
1978, Ningbo was admitted to the Chinese University of Science and Technology, and joined a group of talented teenagers who were also selected from all over the country in a special juvenile class for them. 13 years old, according to the normal rhythm, Ningbo should still be in junior high school, but at this time he has become a college student.
Fortunately, Ningbo is not a complete bookworm. He is like an adult in life, in fact, he is better than many gifted children who only know how to read sage books. However, Ningbo still cannot escape the torment of fate.
As we all know, when studying in a university, everyone can choose a different major. Some people like physics, some people like humanities, and some people love art. Only by choosing what they like can they have enthusiasm and confidence to stick to it.
Ningbo is completely in a passive position in the choice of majors. Ningbo loved astronomy since he was a child, so at first he proposed to learn astronomy. Unexpectedly, there was no astronomy major at that time. Ningbo proposed to transfer to Nanjing University to study astronomy, but his proposal was finally ignored by the school. The last century was a period when China accumulated strength. The country needs talents to develop new weapons, so there is a great demand for talents in physics. So the school assigned Ningbo to the physics department. They think that since he is a genius, he will certainly make a contribution to physics.
But for Ningbo, being unable to study his favorite major is actually a potential blow to him.
When a person becomes a genius, but also a nationally famous genius, there must be an invisible pressure on him. He not only needs to bear the expectations of his parents, but also the expectations of the people of the whole country. However, for a teenager, this pressure is obviously too heavy.
Ningbo later applied for postgraduate three times, but unfortunately he failed in the exam once and always quit for various reasons. Is this because Ningbo is not strong enough? It is impossible for a person 13 years old to be admitted to the top universities in China. It's just that over time, the pressure on Ningbo is getting bigger and bigger, and these pressures have gradually become the mission that he must complete, which makes him breathless. He didn't dare to take the exam because he was afraid that he would face his own failure and that his failure would bring harm to his family and even the people of the whole country.
Finally, in 2003, Ningbo didn't want to bear these pressures any more. He gave up his status that had brought him infinite glory and became a monk. Since then, Ning Platinum has really disappeared from people's field of vision, and his news is rarely seen in news reports, and there is no longer his criticism of child prodigy education in TV programs. After Ningbo devoted herself to Buddhism, she finally put down the expectations of the world and became her real self.
Two years ago, it was announced that Ningbo had been secularized. After more than ten years away from the secular noise, people finally stopped paying too much attention to him. Now, although he is no longer a monk, he still has his own beliefs. He is immersed in learning Buddhism every day, and at the same time he will do some psychological counseling to enlighten others.
Ningbo's life has experienced several ups and downs, from a gifted teenager to becoming a monk and then to secularization. He came from the sea of people and finally returned to the sea of people.
For prodigies, we always expect too much, just as everyone expects Ningbo to make a difference after becoming famous, but we don't know how much pressure this will bring to Ningbo. A prodigy is actually just one person. If we don't want more Fang Zhongyong to appear, maybe we should let prodigies walk off the altar and let them become simple normal people.
