Sun Haogang, the top science leader in the college entrance examination of Shandong Province, received the letter of admission to the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, which has long been in his mind. The 718 score of the college entrance examination has made him an object for a number of top universities, of which two of the top universities have invited him to apply for financial and management specialties so that he can move into a lucrative industry in the future, but Sun Hao does not move. At the height of
, Sun Hao decided to study particle physics. He dreamed of becoming a scientist. In the end, he resolutely chose the physics major of the National University of science, which is closer to the dream of science. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of high energy physics, Wang Yifang, a leading scientist. Professor Sun Hao of the National University of science and technology, who sent the admission notice to Mr. Sun Hao, said: "we accepted him, not only because of his high marks. During the interview, we found that he was very interested in science and had the potential to become an excellent scientist.
last year, the Alumni Association of China released the 2015 China national college entrance examination report. The report shows that in the past 2000~2014 years, the national college entrance examination majors are basically the most competitive and lucrative professions currently recognized by the society. Among them, management, engineering and economics majors are most favored by "top scholars", accounting for 68.63% of the total number of "top scholars". On the other hand, there are fewer majors in history, education, philosophy, literature and medicine, which are relatively cold, more difficult in their studies and less expected in future career compensation. The particle physics of Sun Hao's choice is even the cold shoulder. Is the value of
"the champion" changed? Is it a victory for the National University of science and technology to give up professional management? Can the social atmosphere, especially the life choices of outstanding students, have been transferred from utility to interest?
Xiong Bingqi, a famous educator and vice president of the Institute of education and research in twenty-first Century, threw cold water on this: "it is not too happy to be happy. The top student of the college entrance examination above 2/3 will still choose to read the popular specialty. The current situation of Chinese students' choice of specialty is not fundamentally changed. At present, most students choose their majors for utility purposes because most of our senior high school students are not explicitly interested. He thinks that the Sun Hao phenomenon is only a case, the student such as Sun Hao is very rare, the State Department is only recruiting more than 300 students every year. Compared with the about 7000000 college students enrolled every year in the country, this proportion is very small and can not represent a trend.
and Professor Liu Haifeng, the dean of the Education Research Institute of Xiamen University and professor of the college entrance examination, said, "in the battle for the top students in the University, the choice made by Sun Hao can not be simply understood as the victory of the National University. In a sense, it is also a victory for the Chinese high and middle students' personal interests and dreams." This is a victory for Chinese students not to "change their families and their own economic status" for the purpose of learning, aspire to pursue dreams and take on more social responsibilities. This is also a happy sign for Chinese small family not to take the lead in education and to respect children's interest. This kind of symptom has appeared in the past, but Sun Hao's choice magnifies it again. The signals transmitted in this way may have some influence on senior high school students' professional choices in the future.
Liu Haifeng believes that, with the development of China's economy and society, after reaching a well-off society, citizens have more options. Young people begin to consider their interests to pursue their dreams, instead of deciding on the future direction of development according to their family and personal needs. Of course, the top notch students are crowded into the so-called hot profession, which will also cause a waste of talent.
it is understood that Sun Hao's interest in physics originated from the brief history of time and the rewritten edition of relativity, which began to read serious physics books. At the beginning of the first three years, he found a branch chart of the physics subject, first check the data one by one, and then eliminate it one by one. Finally, he decided the two directions "condensed matter physics and high energy physics". Both of them revealed the essence through the experiment. Sun Hao thought, "the essence is the most beautiful." Later, when he saw the news of the Large Hadron Collider and read "atomic physics", he began to record the more than 100 particles that had been found. The world of particles fascinated him. "Exploring new particles and discovering new laws" became what he wanted to do more. Before
, Sun Hao spoke to academician Wang Yifang, the director of the High Energy Physics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to understand the Beijing electronic Collider and related scientific research, which made him firm in the determination of the National University. Even when a university teacher persuaded him to read the school physics major, Sun Hao replied very professionally, "your gravitational waves are in the ground, and the gravitational waves of the country are in the sky."
now, a lot of middle school students will take into consideration when they fill in the college entrance examination: choose a good city first, choose a good university, and finally choose a more promising profession. Sun Hao thought it was not very good. "Why do you make it so pragmatic, if you come up with a job as a guide, study for the needs, and violate personal interests, it may not be really happy." Someone once advised him that there are only 9 undergraduate majors in the National University of science and technology. Sun Hao said, "since I have chosen particle physics, other options will be meaningless to me."
"I don't know why, I have a sense of mission, human needs science, and I happen to be willing to do and have the ability to do it, that's all." When 18 year old Sun Hao said this, his eyes shone differently.
professor Liu Xinchun, who has been in charge of the enrolment work in Shandong, said that this year, the university has selected students in 6 provinces and cities such as Beijing and Shandong with the "comprehensive evaluation" selection method. The results of the comprehensive evaluation of Shandong province consist of three parts: 60% of the college entrance examination results, 30% of the interview scores, and 10% of the senior high school academic examination results. This year, 9 in Shandong Province, as well as Sun Hao, suitable for scientific research, "good Miao", in advance approval by the national university admission, and Sun Hao's interview results close to full marks.
"Sun Hao is a successful case that schools and families pay attention to the development of students' personality and enable students to set up personal pursuits and choose their own future." Xiong Bingqi believes that Sun Hao has a clear understanding of himself, and we hope that more and more students will be there.
