Meng Wei is a doctoral student at Zhejiang University, his academic performance has always been excellent, he was once one of the top ten college students, and he was thrown an olive branch by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhejiang University at the same time in his senior year.
Originally planned to graduate after 5 years of study, only because there was no scientific research results in the 8 years of doctoral studies, he has not yet graduated.
In order to support his family, he chose to deliver takeaways.
Doesn't it mean that "everything is inferior, only reading is high"? Dr. Meng Wei's identity is in stark contrast to his awkward situation, what has he experienced?
First, abandon the Chinese Academy of Sciences to protect the research, choose to directly bo Zhejiang University
How good is Meng Wei? I don't dare to say that he is a scholar, but he is also the person closest to the school bully.
Zhejiang University is one of the top key universities in China, and it is conceivable how difficult it is to be admitted to Zhejiang University, but Meng Wei was admitted, which shows how good his college entrance examination results are.
After going to college, he was still very good.
In the past four years at Zhejiang University, he has been a part-time counselor for graduate students in Qiushi College, an outstanding volunteer for the G20 Summit, the secretary of the Party Branch of Zhejiang University's Top Ten Graduate Students, an outstanding Party member of Zhejiang University, and one of the Top Ten University Students of Zhejiang University.
Not to mention his academic performance, in his senior year, he was both selected by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhejiang University, and after thinking about it, he finally gave up the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chose Zhejiang University.
In September 2014, Meng Wei became a doctoral student in the School of Control Science and Engineering of Zhejiang University, planning to graduate after 5 years, and he also agreed with his girlfriend to marry after graduation.
For this, he was still very confident at the beginning.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes...
Second, depression, marriage, food delivery, 8 years of doctoral study has not graduated
Meng Wei, with the desire to learn, went to the temple of scientific research, and he stayed in the laboratory all day every day, even on Saturdays and Sundays.
He was unexpected, undertaking 8 horizontal projects, the research progress is very slow, and there is still no scientific research results for 5 years.
The three roommates who live with him have already produced scientific research results and have been sent to top universities for joint training.
Now every day he returns to the dormitory, he is left with himself, and he can't sleep well.
Meng Wei was depressed!
To relieve his anxiety, he had to take medication.
He had planned to graduate with a Ph.D. in 2019, but now he can't graduate.
In order to fulfill his promise, he could only marry his girlfriend as scheduled.
But after getting married, life caught him off guard again.
In 2021, their child was born with fulminant myocarditis, was admitted to the intensive care unit for 67 days, underwent 4 critical rescues, and the originally solid family was completely drained.
In order to subsidize the family, Meng Wei decided to deliver takeaways. Delivering food, he says, is brainless and free and won't affect his studies.
In this way, Meng Wei's doctoral career has passed for 8 years, because there has been no scientific research results, and he has not been able to graduate.
Third, do not want to give up
The mentor once advised Meng Wei to transfer to a master's degree, but he bluntly said that he did not want to give up.
Meng Wei said that his scientific research road has been very bumpy, although he has not come up with scientific research results, but he has confidence in himself, since he has started to do it to the end, he does not want to give up easily, and must get his satisfactory results.
For the future, he will continue his studies while delivering takeaway food to subsidize his family.
With Meng Wei's story exposed on the Internet, Zhejiang University College also paid attention to him, and perhaps his future scientific research road will be smoother.
No matter what, Meng Wei's spirit of adhering to the road of scientific research is still worthy of praise!
The sword blade came out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance came from the bitter cold. Success is not achieved overnight.
Professor Xue Qikun of Tsinghua University has studied for graduate school three times, scored 39 points in mathematics, and worked hard for 7 years before he graduated with a doctorate.
Nowadays, Meng Wei may not find the shadow of talent and intelligence, but I believe that with persistence and hard work, he will be closer and closer to success.
