The second is Hu Shi, a famous writer and historian (1891-1962, from Jixi, Anhui). 19 10 applied for the second phase of boxer indemnity in Tsinghua University and stayed in the United States as an official. According to his own memory, because of cramming, his grades in mathematics, western history, zoology, physics and other subjects were not ideal. However, because the first Chinese exam was "No rules, no Fiona Fang", he thought the topic was not funny, and because he liked reading miscellaneous books on weekdays, he randomly researched an essay. This is a fantastic textual research. I didn't expect the teacher who was reading the paper at that time to be addicted to textual research. He appreciated the article very much and was awarded full marks, so he was admitted as an exception.
The third is Wen Yiduo, a famous poet and scholar (1899- 1946, a native of Xishui, Hubei). He applied for Tsinghua in 19 12, but was rejected by the examiner because his composition written in Liang Qichao style was too excellent (all other subjects were mediocre, especially his math scores were poor).
The fourth is Zhu Ziqing, a famous writer and scholar (1898— 1948, originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and from Donghai, Jiangsu). He 19 16 applied for the preparatory course of Peking University, and got only 0 in mathematics, but his composition was beautifully written, with beautiful words and delicate emotions, and he got full marks, so he was successfully admitted.
The fifth is Luo Jialun (1897-1969, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang), a famous educator and one of the student leaders of the May 4th Movement. He applied for Peking University liberal arts in 19 17, which coincided with Hu Shi's correction of his composition papers. He did not hesitate to give him full marks and recommended talents to the school admissions committee. But the school committee was surprised when they looked at their report cards. It turned out that Luo Jialun's math score turned out to be 0, and his scores in other subjects were average. Just as the debate about admission or not was going on, President Cai Yuanpei, who presided over the admissions meeting, pushed his way through the crowd and made an exception and accepted him under his own door.
The sixth is Qian Zhongshu, a famous scholar and writer (1910-1998, from Wuxi, Jiangsu). Graduated from Wuxi Fu Jen Middle School with the first place in 1929, and then applied for Tsinghua University. He did well in Chinese and English exams. It is said that English is perfect and Chinese is close to perfection, but math is only 15. Supposedly, this kind of situation can't be admitted, but the examiner reported to Luo Jialun, the then president of Tsinghua, that President Luo accepted him for love. It is said that another reason is that Qian Zhongshu's father, Qian Jibo, was Professor Guo Wen of Tsinghua University at that time.
The seventh is Ji Xianlin, a famous linguist, essayist and translator (1911-2009, from Linqing, Shandong). According to Qian Wenzhong, a favorite pupil of Ji Xianlin and a professor at Fudan University, Ji Lao is a serious student in liberal arts. When he applied for Tsinghua on 1930, he got only 4 points in mathematics, and it was really unimaginable that his first choice was the department of mathematics. (Qian Wenzhong once asked Ji Lao himself, how much did he get in the college entrance examination for mathematics? Ji Lao only said "very low" and said nothing else. ) However, due to his excellent performance in other subjects, he was finally admitted to the Department of Western Literature in Tsinghua.
The eighth is the famous poet Cang Kejia (1905-2004, Zhucheng, Shandong). 1930 applied for the National Qingdao University. Wen Yiduo, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and head of the Chinese Department, wrote two essay questions: First, "Why did you apply for Qingdao University?" ",the second is" life miscellaneous feeling ". Two questions were optional, but Cang Kejia did both. There are only three sentences in his Miscellaneous Life: "Life is always chasing magic light, but whoever treats magic light as magic light will sink into the boundless sea of suffering!" These unique three "miscellaneous feelings", short but full of philosophical thinking, immediately touched the examiner Wen Yiduo. Wen Yiduo repeatedly recited and was amazed. He made an exception and gave him a high score of 98 points. As a result, although he got a "zero score" in mathematics, he was admitted to the College of Literature of Qingdao University, became a high-ranking disciple of Wen Yiduo, and was called "two schools of literati" with another poet, Chen.
The ninth is Wu Han, a famous historian and social activist (1909— 1969, from Yiwu, Zhejiang). 193 1 entered the history department of Peking University. After studying hard for more than half a year, my English has made great progress, but I know nothing about mathematics. Near the examination period, he wrote to Hu Shi, hoping that Hu Shi could help him transfer directly to Peking University without the examination. But Hu Shi disagreed. Wu Han had no choice but to apply for the history department of Peking University. Sure enough, I only got 0 in math, and I got 100 in literature and history English, but I was not admitted. Wu Han had to apply for the history department of Tsinghua again, and the same math score was 0, while the literature, history and English score was still 100. Tsinghua also has the same regulations, but he was admitted to Wu Han on the grounds that his achievements in literature and history were outstanding. Tsinghua's decision caused a sensation in Peking University. Hu Shi has said to people many times: "The examination system of Peking University is too unreasonable. It's a pity that a talented student like Wu Han failed in math. "
Jin Yong, the 10th Hong Kong famous martial arts novelist, political writer, news publisher and social activist (formerly named Cha, from Haining, Zhejiang, 1924). He had a good memory in middle school and was handy for exams. He got the first place in all subjects except the average score in mathematics. After graduating from high school, I embarked on the road of journalism and did not go directly to college.
1 1 is Qiong Yao, a famous romantic novelist in Taiwan Province (formerly known as Chen Zhe, born in 1938, originally from Hengyang, Hunan, born in Chengdu, Sichuan). After graduating from high school, she applied for college, but failed several times because of her poor math performance, so she embarked on the road of full-time creation with her own literary expertise and no longer yearned for further study in college.
12 is a famous singer in Taiwan Province province, Teresa Teng (1953- 1995, whose ancestral home is Daming, Hebei province, and he was born in Yunlin, Taiwan Province). He had to drop out of Jinling Girls' Middle School in 1967 because of his poor math performance in middle school.
13 is the famous director of Taiwan Province province, Ang Lee (born in 1955, ancestral home in De 'an, Jiangxi, born in Pingtung, Taiwan Province Province). In the first year, I was admitted to the university, and I missed the list by 6 points. Retest in the second year, because math was only 0.6 points short, and I fell off the list again; Finally, she was admitted to the Art College of Taiwan Province Provincial University.
The 14th is the famous actor Sun (born in Shenyang, Liaoning, 1956). He once told reporters: "I took part in the preliminary examination in 1977 and 1978 for two years in a row, but I didn't do very well in the final examination because I had many performance tasks and too little review time at that time, with the highest score of 59 in Chinese, 39 in history and 9 in politics19; Mathematics is the lowest, and I basically gave up. It seems that I only got 9 points. "
