In that era when the theory of "reading is useless" prevailed, he carefully trained six children with foresight and achieved fruitful results. Among his six daughters, there are five doctors, 1 master, so he is praised as a "genius magician" by many media and affectionately called "doctor's father" by the famous host Chen Luyu, and his family education concept is regarded as the "art of war" of family education.
He adheres to the principles of early education, determination and self-study and the idea of cultivating talents with special talents. He believes: "A set of methods that everyone is satisfied with will inevitably cultivate an ordinary child, and a set of special methods is necessary to cultivate an outstanding person."
He believes that "on the road of teaching children to become talents, the responsibility of parents lies in grasping every key for their children." He grasped the key to children's success from the age of zero to all stages of life, pursued the concept of elite training of special talents and special education, and created a happy road for six children with more than 40 years of educational practice.
Cai graduated from Cornell University with a Ph.D., became the youngest tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States at the age of 36, and served as a reviewer of papers of the National Foundation of the United States. In 2008, he won the "Nobel Prize" in world statistics-"COPPS Presidential Award"; Father Cai Xiaoxiao played an important role in sending children to the elite one by one. "Playing the father as a career" is a sentence that Cai often talks about.
Cai likes reading since she was a child. After he was admitted to a key high school, he was expelled from the school because of 1957 "anti-rightism", and his father was a forensic doctor of the Kuomintang. Young Cai Xiaoxiao spent a year completing all the courses in high school and taking the college entrance examination. However, "family background" is like an iron wall, which once again blocked his way to study.
As a result, he became a primary school teacher and was rated as an advanced young man with excellent results. Under the recommendation of the school, Cai finally got into the physics department of Hangzhou University with full marks in three subjects, which fulfilled his dream of studying. 1962, when his father died, the Cai family was in trouble. As the eldest son, Cai had to drop out of Hangzhou University and take on the heavy responsibility of supporting his family.
Soon, the "Cultural Revolution" struck, and the turbulent times made Cai feel that the future was bleak. After learning that his wife was pregnant, the idea of "having several children and cultivating talents" occupied his mind. "I will continue my wisdom, knowledge and pursuit to the next generation and turn it into a development advantage for the next generation."
Cai Xiaoxiao's father career began like this. He changed his name to "Laugh late", which means that you can't laugh when you are young, you should let yourself laugh until the latest and the best! From 1967 to 10 in 1977, Cai Xiaoxiao and his wife * * * gave birth to five sons and 1 daughter.
