Just like the four geniuses in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, they gathered in the United States after their academic achievements, which should have their reasons. Among them, Xu Chenyang, one of the four mathematical geniuses, explained why he stayed in the United States. Many people will understand why they want to stay in America after seeing this!
High flyers's study in the United States raises questions.
Since the resumption of the national college entrance examination in the 1970s, the China government has made great efforts to develop domestic education, and many outstanding talents have passed the national college entrance examination. In the past, many young students chose to study abroad, learn more advanced technology and experience education in western countries.
With the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological level and economic strength, domestic universities are also developing. Therefore, studying abroad is no longer the first choice for young students, and it is also a good choice to stay in China for further study. For example, Tsinghua Peking University is the "pride" of our country. Even compared with other famous universities in western countries, Tsinghua Peking University is not inferior at all.
2/kloc-0 At the beginning of the 20th century, computers, high-tech electronics and Internet technologies have become the mainstream industries in society. And these industries are inextricably linked with mathematics. After all, mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. Therefore, Zhang Yunyong, president of China Unicom Research Institute, has repeatedly expressed the hope that the country can strengthen mathematics education.
Of course, China, as a populous country, is definitely not short of excellent mathematics talents. If we want to talk about mathematical talents, we must talk about the "golden generation" of mathematics in Peking University, namely Xu Chenyang, Zhiwei, Zhang Wei and Zhu Xinwen. Xu Chenyang 1999 entered the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, and the other three entered the Department of Mathematics of Peking University in 2000. It can be seen that the Department of Mathematics of Peking University is full of talents!
However, it is a pity that none of the four mathematics talents from Peking University stayed in China, but chose to settle in the United States. So, why did they make such a choice? Isn't it a better choice to stay in your hometown and serve your country?
Xu Chenyang, a regrettable mathematical genius of Peking University.
Xu Chenyang was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Peking University with 1999. He is truly a mathematical genius. When he was studying in Peking University, it took him only three years to complete his undergraduate studies. Then, it took me two years to get a master's degree in mathematics from Peking University, two years ahead of most people. After graduating from master's degree, I went to Princeton University for further study. At the same time, I successfully obtained my doctorate.
After graduating from Princeton University, Xu Chenyang was not tempted by the fame and fortune of western countries, but chose to return to Peking University to teach. After returning to China, he also won many honors and won the future science and technology award. Thus, Xu Chenyang has made great contributions to the field of mathematics in China. Unexpectedly, however, only six years after he returned to China, he suddenly chose to settle in the United States.
The choice of three mathematical geniuses
Besides Xu Chenyang, Zhang Wei, Zhu Xinwen and Zhiwei, who are one year younger than him, also made the same choice. All three were students majoring in mathematics at Peking University in 2000. I have to say that the mathematics major of Peking University was still very strong at the beginning of the century.
After Peking University graduated, Zhu Xinwen went to Berkeley University for further study. As a leading figure in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, he also successfully obtained a doctorate from the school. However, after graduation, he didn't return to his hometown to serve the motherland like Xu Chenyang, but chose to stay as a teacher at Harvard University and Northwest University.
Zhang Wei and Wei Yao went to Columbia University for further study, and then stayed at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology respectively. Of course, this is everyone's choice, and they may have their own ideas in doing so. Why did these four mathematical geniuses leave their hometown to live in America?
Name the reason for the party in America.
Earlier, Xu Chenyang expressed his views on brain drain. One of the problems is that there is a very serious fraud problem in domestic academic research, which will undoubtedly directly affect the quality and reputation of the entire scientific research community. In view of these academic frauds, the relevant departments have given them a lighter punishment. Therefore, some people want to take advantage of the law.
In addition, he also believes that the state's scientific research support for young people is not enough. One of the main reasons is that many young people have a short time for scientific research, so the relevant departments think that the experience and strength of these young people are not as good as those of their predecessors. Therefore, it directly leads to the serious phenomenon of seniority in scientific research fields such as domestic scientific research funds. As for those young researchers who want to serve the country and have very good strength, they can't enjoy the treatment they deserve.
Indeed, these situations can easily dampen the enthusiasm of young researchers. They originally wanted to serve the country after their academic success, but they did not expect to have a suitable platform to display their talents. Maybe that's why they want to settle in America.
In the past, these situations may indeed exist in domestic scientific research circles, and what Xu Chenyang said is worth our deep thinking. But now this situation has been greatly reduced. After all, the country has always advocated "rejuvenating the country through science and education" and paid more and more attention to young talents. Otherwise, how can China's scientific and technological level and economic strength be improved?
Don't comment too much on the choices of these four mathematical geniuses. After all, this is their choice. Compared with China, the United States does have more advanced technology, scientific research strength, economic level and so on. However, China has also developed and even become a super economic power no less than the United States.
Therefore, China will become stronger and stronger in the future. The government will certainly pay more and more attention to some bad phenomena in the field of scientific research. I believe that more and more young people will take the initiative to return to China in the future!
