Wang Sihan

Wang Sihan

Wang Sihan, once known as the "prodigy" boy, was admitted to the automation major of Shenyang University of technology in 2001 at the age of 14 with a college entrance examination score of 572 points exceeding the score line by 60 points. However, his four-year university courses have been on the red light one after another. At the end of his freshman year, because he failed more than three courses, he was asked to repeat for one year by his college, and he was required to take the freshman course again in his sophomore year. However, in the graduation examination, except for English, he chose to give up the examination because he did not do well in other subjects. In the end, Wang Sihan was "ordered to drop out" in the face of only one passing English.

experience

Wang Sihan's parents are ordinary workers, and his family economy is not good. In order to enable Wang Sihan to successfully complete his university education, his father took two jobs every day. Unexpectedly, when Wang Sihan was admitted to university, his father died of chronic labor. during his four years in University, Wang Sihan refused to participate in all activities, and was unwilling to communicate with his teachers and classmates. He was deeply in the pain of his father and other relatives leaving. His grades went from bad to worse, which eventually led to the embarrassing ending of dropping out of school.

Shenyang

boy

When he was 14 years old, he was admitted to Shenyang University of technology with 572 points, 60 points above the mark line. When I was a senior, I was ordered to drop out of school because I abandoned the examination and got zero score. "My father, grandmother, aunt and uncle have passed away one after another. I feel very lonely and afraid..." Wang Sihan explained why he was "ordered to drop out.". And the dean of his college of electrical engineering summed up another reason: "not adapt to the University, their subjective learning is not strong." in the face of his classmates, either taking the postgraduate entrance examination or graduation work, Wang Sihan, who left school at home, made the helpless choice of "working while taking the self-study examination".

Report title: Senior prodigy left school in the past

On July 9, 2005, the morning post launched "the former senior prodigy dropped out of school.". On July 10 and 11, our newspaper continued to report on the plight of Wang Sihan, a child prodigy in the past, which aroused widespread concern. Wang Wanbin, deputy secretary of the provincial Party committee, paid close attention to the "Wang Sihan incident". After the manuscript was published in the newspaper, he gave instructions and asked relevant departments to pay close attention to it. the Civil Affairs Bureau of Tiexi District actively helped Wang Sihan's family with financial difficulties, introduced his mother to work, and helped to handle the "minimum living allowance" subsidy. an automobile company in Shenyang provides Wang Sihan with a "Student Post". many enthusiastic readers donated money and renovated Wang Sihan's home. In September 2005, Wang Sihan returned to school. Morning news (reporter Wang Huan) Wang Sihan, the "prodigy of the past" who was ordered to drop out of school, has now returned to school! the difference between the same university and the same major is that he has to start over from his freshman year. "wash clothes by yourself, learn to communicate with classmates Thank Morning Post and readers for their help to my son.... " Wang Sihan's mother said chokingly.

In the face of "interruption", mother and son refused to be interviewed

Did he go back to school? How's life going With a series of questions, the Morning Post reporter dialed Wang Sihan's home on the afternoon of December 14. "he I've already gone to school. It's very good now! " Wang Sihan's mother said hesitantly. "my son and I refused to be interviewed by all the media, but when I heard that the morning post wanted to interview me, I couldn't bear to refuse Many kind-hearted people just read the morning paper to find my home and give us a lot of help. I really appreciate it... " A sobbing voice came from one end of the phone. "After the story of my son was published in the newspaper, I received countless phone calls every day. There were good readers and journalists from all over the country. To be honest, we couldn't stand it, so we simply refused all media interviews. Here, I also want to say "I'm sorry" to those reporters who came all the way through the morning post The queen mother said after calming down. facing the reporter's request to interview Wang Sihan, Wang's mother euphemistically said: "my son wants to start all over again now. He doesn't want to talk about the past, and his classmates don't know his past. As a mother, I just hope he can grow up healthily, live a peaceful life, and be free from any interference."

The mother sighed: the son has changed and grown up

"my son has changed and grown up..." This is the Queen Mother's comment on her son's return to school. According to Wang Sihan's mother, Wang Sihan is now studying in Liaoyang Branch of Shenyang University of technology, so he comes back once every two weeks. Besides, he goes back and forth by train, and needs to back the car again. It takes more than two hours to get home from school. In order to save money on the ticket, she never gave it to her son. Reporter: can you rest assured? Queen Mother: it's time to let go, or the child will grow up! This is very good. It's an exercise for him. Now he washes all his clothes by himself and never takes his dirty clothes home. Reporter: the child has grown up! Queen Mother: Well, it's not just that. Every time I go home, I try to cook for me. In school also learn to save, each meal only play a vegetable, reluctant to spend money to eat meat! Reporter: how are you getting along with your classmates? Wang Mu: he's 18 years old, and there's no age gap between him and his freshmen. He gets along very well! I often ask him to chat with his classmates and participate in school activities. Reporter: what about learning? Queen Mother After all, there was something "before" (he was ordered to drop out of school). He cherished the learning opportunities now and worked hard. The teacher took good care of him, and he said he would start over.

School response: let him start all over again and live in peace

Then, the reporter called Wang Zhe, director of the Propaganda Department of the Party committee of Shenyang University of technology. He said: "Wang Sihan really went back to school and went to school again, and now he is doing very well in all aspects. The school also hopes that he can start again in a new environment..." for the interview with Wang Sihan himself, the school authorities also said: "let him live in peace, which will help him to start again!"

Expert analysis of education is to cultivate people's survival and creativity

song Fenglan (China's first education tutor who saves children's soul in a special way): Sihan's psychological quality is far from that of adults, but he has to enter the adult world, unable to communicate, which further weakens his endurance. Wang Sihan incident reminds me: the success of education is not to make all children become scientists, but to make them grow up morally, intellectually and physically. The incident of Liu Hui (Professor, Academy of Education Sciences, Shenyang Normal University) and Wang Sihan reflects the malpractice in education. The purpose of education is to cultivate people's ability to survive and create, rather than "test machines". According to Wang Sihan's situation, the school should provide him with a special tutor to discover and correct his growing problems in time, which is also the first-hand material for our country's "advanced education research".

evaluate

After the incident of Wang Sihan's dropping out of school, the public opinion made a lot of comments on it, saying that it was a mistake in the education of child prodigy. In fact, every year, countless Chinese universities are demoted, and Wang Sihan is just one of them. If we want to talk about the mistakes, I'm afraid it's the mistakes of the whole Chinese education. in fact, the misfortune of Wang Sihan's father is the fundamental reason for Wang Sihan to drop out of school. This can be confirmed by what Wang Sihan said. "After my father passed away, I couldn't learn any more..." Wang Sihan said with tears, "grandma, aunt and uncle died one after another. I feel very lonely and scared." the death of relatives is a blow to many people, but some people can face it firmly, while others will be depressed. For Wang Sihan, he was still young and far away from his relatives, who died one after another, but he was not comforted by the people around him, which led to his depression. Once the students study passively, no matter whether you are in the junior class or not, whether you are a child prodigy or not, you will fail one after another, and eventually you will be dissuaded. if our university could have given Wang Sihan less indifference and more care, and let Wang Sihan feel some warmth, maybe it would not have been the result of dropping out.
