Many people know Tsinghua University, but few people know that Tsinghua University is hierarchical, and Yao Ban is one of the top classes. The students who can be admitted to Yao Ban are the best talents in China, and their grades are also very high. Chen Lijie and Lou Tiancheng, for example, are both talents in the computer field, and the myths they created are beyond the reach of other students in Tsinghua. So what kind of existence is this Yao Ban?
Yao Ban is actually just a short name, because it was founded by Professor Yao Qizhi, a Turing Prize winner, so the short name is "Yao Ban", and the full name should be Tsinghua University Computer Science Experimental Class. Speaking of Professor Yao Qizhi, he is really a very influential figure. He is a top computer scientist in China. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and taught in many top universities in the United States. In 2000, Yao Qizhi won the Turing Award, becoming the only Chinese winner in history. Many people may not be familiar with the Turing Award. It can be said that it is the Nobel Prize in computer science. Only one scientist in the world can win this award every year, which shows how powerful Yao Qizhi is.
Yao Qizhi has been working in the United States since he graduated from Harvard University. Until 2004, 57-year-old Yao Qizhi quit his job in the United States, returned to China and joined Tsinghua University, in order to help the country train more computer talents. However, after coming to Tsinghua, Yao Qizhi found that the education level of domestic computer science was far less than that of foreign universities, so it was difficult to cultivate top domestic computer talents. Seeing this situation, Yao Qizhi decided to set up an experimental class of computer science to train top computer talents with his rich teaching experience and scientific knowledge, which was his original intention of founding Yao Ban.
Thanks to Yao Qizhi's efforts, Yao Ban is very successful, and almost all students from Yao Ban have become top computer talents. For example, Chen Lijie is the winning champion of OI, and he became the top OI player in China in just two years. There is Lou Tiancheng, a proud disciple of Yao Qizhi, who won his lifelong Juexue, so he is called the leader of Tsinghua and often participates in competitions and wins prizes abroad. Now Lou Tiancheng founded Ma Xiao Zhixing alone.
In addition to these two people, there are talented teenagers who created face recognition technology and artificial intelligence. Yin Qi, who is also the founder of Wushuang Technology, and his team are also from Yao Ban. In addition to these people who have made breakthroughs in the computer field, many students who graduated from Yao Ban will choose to go to the United States for further study. It can be said that all the students who graduated from Yao Ban have a bright future, and because of this, entering Yao Ban, Tsinghua has become the biggest dream of domestic science students.
However, Yao Ban is not so easy to enter. From the first establishment of Yao Ban in 2005 to the present 15 years, only more than 400 students have been admitted, and almost all of them are "prodigies", and other ordinary students can't get in at all. In fact, when Yao Ban was just founded, some people worried that it would have the effect of "encouraging young children" and make many "prodigies" gradually lose their true meaning because of their early fame. But it turned out that Yao Ban not only didn't hurt the "child prodigies", but gave them a better education, creating miracles for the frontier field.
Today, Yao Ban is famous not only at home but also internationally, and has become the object of emulation by many universities and colleges. They also want to create independent colleges and cultivate cutting-edge talents. However, due to the lack of experience and talents like Yao Qizhi, these universities ended in failure. However, there are also some institutions in China that have trained many talents by imitating Yao Banpei, such as Ma Yun's Dharma Institute.
The existence of Yao Ban has trained countless scientific and technological talents not only for our country, but also for the world. I believe that top student, which will come out of Yao Ban in the future, will still create one miracle after another and become a real pillar of our country.
