With the development of the times, the comprehensive strength of China society has been greatly improved. In this case, many talents voluntarily stayed in the motherland and made contributions to socialist modernization. However, even under this background, some people are unwilling to return to their motherland for development. Once upon a time, there was a genius of Peking University who would rather wash dishes in America than go back to China to be a professor. So who is this genius of Peking University? What's the story behind this genius of Peking University?
The genius of Peking University is Zhang. He was born in 1955. Although many people in China didn't realize the importance of learning at that time, Zhang realized the importance of learning for personal development very early because of his special family environment. At that time, Zhang's father was a university professor and his mother was a civil servant. Due to good family conditions, Zhang has developed a strong interest in mathematics since childhood.
When Zhang was thirteen, he followed his parents from Shanghai to Beijing. In the later study process, Zhang never worried his parents. Finally, he was successfully admitted to the Department of Mathematics in Peking University at 1978. In the process of undergraduate study, Zhang has also become the focus of many teachers' attention. For him, mathematics is the goal of his life, and in the process of learning mathematics, he also gained a lot of fun.
At that time, Zhang was also called "a genius of Peking University" because of his outstanding mathematical achievements. Later, after graduating from undergraduate course, Zhang began to study for a master's degree with a famous mathematics professor in Peking University. 1985, Zhang also came to the United States to study as a public school student through the personal recommendation of the then president of Peking University.
After coming to the United States, Zhang entered Purdue University to study for a doctorate. Although the scientific research task in the United States is very heavy, Zhang has no idea of retreating. After all, in his opinion, his math scores have always been very good, and such an opportunity to study abroad is also a better way for him to develop. However, after coming to the United States, Zhang's life trajectory has changed to some extent. At that time, there were some unknown contradictions between Zhang and his tutor. In this case, Zhang's doctoral thesis never passed. In the end, his doctoral studies, which could have ended in two years, were extended to about seven years.
At that time, in order to continue living in the United States, Zhang had to come to a new restaurant to earn some living expenses by washing dishes. At that time, after learning about Zhang's situation, the head of the Department of Mathematics in Peking University also decided to invite Zhang to teach at Peking University to study scientific research in mathematics. But what everyone didn't expect was that although Zhang's life in the United States was already very difficult, he didn't want to return to the motherland. At that time, according to him, he would rather wash dishes in America than go back to China.
Such a decision surprised many people. After all, he is an excellent mathematical genius. If he is engaged in washing dishes, it is also a waste of his talents. Later, with the help of an alumnus, Zhang also found a job as a lecturer in an American university. At this time, in addition to daily teaching, Zhang also devoted all his energy to mathematics research. 20 13, Zhang, who has been silent for many years, officially announced his research results for many years to the world. At one time, with excellent academic papers, many excellent schools and research institutions invited Zhang to participate.
In this case, Zhang still said that he would not choose to return to China. Facing this decision, he also explained that although China said that he would cultivate his motherland, the scientific research environment in China was not suitable for people who really wanted to do research. If he had returned to the motherland, I'm afraid he wouldn't have written such an excellent paper. In his view, although he used to be a dishwasher in American restaurants, his work can also be respected by others, and he can also get better development prospects in such a country.
To many people in China, Zhang's decision is incomprehensible. After all, China is the one who trained his motherland. If he abandons his motherland after his studies, it will be tantamount to ingratitude. But at the same time, some people have made an in-depth study of Zhang's views. After all, in China society, people are under great secular pressure. If Zhang returns to the motherland, maybe he won't be able to devote all his energy to mathematics research.
From Zhang's choice, we can see that China's development in scientific research also lags behind to some extent, and it is precisely for this reason that many outstanding talents in our society were once lost to overseas areas. Although with the development of the times, China's scientific research environment has become more excellent, there are still some talents who are biased against China's scientific research environment. Perhaps in the future, with the continuous improvement of China's scientific research level, people's prejudice against China will become smaller and smaller, and at that time, the phenomenon of brain drain will be alleviated.
For Zhang, external views cannot always be the key point that affects him. After all, mathematical research is the only truth he pursues all his life. Driven by this spirit, our society also has many talents devoted to academic research. In fact, after getting to know many talented scholars, we will also find that their success is also based on their dedicated research on academics. If these geniuses, like ordinary people, are trapped in all kinds of trivial things in life all day.
In the future development of education, our country should also cultivate some innovative and independent spirits for students. Although the existence of teachers is essential for teaching, in the process of learning, we can't blindly believe authoritative views such as teachers. If no one puts forward innovative ideas, the development of the whole China society will not and will come to a standstill.

From Zhang's experience, we can feel that, in fact, in the process of social development in China, there is no shortage of some talents in China. However, due to some special historical reasons, our country has lost many important talents, which is also a heavy blow to the development of China. However, with the continuous improvement of China's development level, more and more talents are willing to stay in the motherland. With the help of these talents, I believe China will have a better development prospect in the future.
