The junior class of USTC has admitted another batch of freshmen this year, among which there is a particularly eye-catching name - Sun Chenglan. This is not an ordinary name, she is the daughter of Sun Binyong, an academician of Zhejiang University. As soon as this incident came out, the alumni of USTC exploded on the media and cheered. Let's talk about this today, starting with the results, and then slowly rewind back to see the story behind it.
Let's talk about Sun Chenglan first, this is not the first time she has tried to be admitted to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China. She tried once last year, but she didn't get in. This year, it was the second challenge, and I finally got my wish and was admitted. You say this perseverance, isn't it quite admirable?
Let's talk about her father, Academician Sun Binyong. This is a graduate of Zhejiang University, and he is one of the youngest academicians. You say that this family background, isn't it quite enviable? However, even with such a family background, not everyone can be easily admitted to USTC. After all, everyone has a little bit of a problem about the difference in intelligence between men and women. Among the top mathematicians, there are very few women.
Speaking of Zhejiang University, we have to insert that the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University is quite powerful. In the subject evaluation of the Ministry of Education, he got an A+ grade. Moreover, the number of full-time non-senior academicians of Zhejiang University ranks second in the country, just behind Peking University. You say this strength, isn't it not to be underestimated?
Let's go back to the topic of the junior class of USTC. This year, a total of 52 students were admitted to the junior class of USTC, including 2 girls and 50 boys. Sun Chenglan is one of these two girls. You say this ratio, isn't it quite disparity? Among the admitted students, there are 5 students from Beijing No. 8 Middle School, and Jiangsu Province also has the largest number of students.
As soon as this incident came out, various voices began to appear in society. Some people say that Sun Chenglan can be admitted because she has "academician genes" and a good family background. Some people also said that this matter has nothing to do with her family background, and mainly depends on her own efforts. You tell me?
Also, I heard that Sun Chenglan chose USTC probably because she might not be admitted to the mathematics department of Zhejiang University in the college entrance examination. It's hard for us to talk about that. After all, everyone's choice has their own reasons and considerations.
Speaking of which, I have to interject that it is not easy for ordinary people to enter such a top-notch academic circle. Without a genius IQ and a good training environment, it is very difficult and difficult. However, that doesn't mean women can't. You see, there are two women winners of the Fields Medal. Also, the first place in the 33rd National Mathematics Olympiad is also a girl, or Southern Normal University. Therefore, it still depends on personal effort and talent.
Let's talk about Zhejiang University. Although some people say that Zhejiang University will only be chosen if other Huawu schools can't go to it, I think this is a bit one-sided. After all, Zhejiang University is also a top university, and not everyone can be easily admitted. Moreover, the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University is so powerful, and it is not in vain.
Speaking of this junior class, I have to say two things. This junior class has been running for decades. However, judging from the public information, there is not much difference between the juvenile class and the ordinary class. It's just that the intellect is developed in advance. Therefore, this juvenile class is not omnipotent. It still depends on individual effort and talent.
Finally, I have to mention Du Jiangfeng, the president of Zhejiang University. He also graduated from the junior class. This incident illustrates a problem: the juvenile class can indeed cultivate some outstanding talents. But that's not the only way. After all, everyone's growth path is different.
Okay, that's all for today. In fact, there is a lot to talk about here. However, I think the most important thing is to look at individual effort and talent. No matter what your family background is, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to achieve your own success.
