Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

There are 365 days in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, a total of twelve months. If you ask Yanjing which month has the most pleasant climate, eight out of ten Yanjing people will say October.

In October in Yanjing, the weather is clear and cool, neither too cold nor too hot, with little annoying dust. The maple leaves on the mountains have turned red, and the mountains and fields are all red, green, and yellow. Nature's clever hands have embellished the entire earth with colorful colors, which is very pleasing to the eye.

During this season, Guo Huiying would take her students to the suburbs to collect folk songs.

Just one week after the National Day, that morning, Chang Zhengyang did not go to the classroom to attend class, but knocked on the door of the department head Ma Xiangguo's office.

dong dong!

"Please come in!"

The door was not locked. Chang Zhengyang pushed it open and walked in. The person inside looked up and recognized Chang Zhengyang.

After all, Chang Zhengyang, the national champion in science, is also well-known in their Yenching Medical College.

It’s not that Yenching Medical College is not good enough. Generally speaking, every year’s top scorers in the college entrance examination and the most outstanding students will basically choose the Seven Sons of National Defense University and several other old comprehensive universities.

It was the first time that their Yenching Medical College received a student who was the national champion in science, and one who scored almost full marks.

Speaking of the admission of Chang Zhengyang, when Chang Zhengyang's results came out, several colleges and universities were competing for his admission. If it weren't for their dean arguing for his position and slamming the table in front of the leadership, Chang Zhengyang might have gone to other schools.

Therefore, after Chang Zhengyang reported for duty, the department has always been very concerned about Chang Zhengyang's life and has listed him as a key target for organizational observation.

Ma Xiangguo stood up, poured a glass of water for Chang Zhengyang, and said with a smile: "It's Zhengyang, what's the matter?"

Chang Zhengyang took the cup of water and sat opposite Ma Xiangguo.

"Dean, I want to apply to the department for a grade skip."

"Skip a grade?"

Ma Xiangguo was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened and he said, "Zhengyang, this is a serious place, not a place for jokes. Go back. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."

"Dean, I'm not kidding. Just ask the teachers of each subject to prepare a test paper, just like a final exam. Just do it for me and you'll know."

"Are you serious?"

Ma Xiangguo stared at Chang Zhengyang closely, frowning. He pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "This is a big matter. We need to hold a meeting in the department to discuss it. How about this? I have a few test papers here. You can try them."

Ma Xiangguo stood up and walked to the cabinet in the corner. He rummaged inside and found a few test papers.

“You do it right here.”

Chang Zhengyang didn't waste any time. She took a pencil and started doing the test paper on Ma Xiangguo's desk. When someone walked into the office, she didn't pay any attention to them. She just lowered her head and answered the questions quickly.

After finishing a test paper, Ma Xiangguo took it to look at. Although he was in an administrative position, he also had teaching tasks. He finished reading the test paper quickly. The more he read, the more surprised he was. He found that all the answers were correct and he got full marks on every test paper!

Wow, the medical school has found a treasure this time!

Fortunately, the dean did not give in, otherwise their medical school would have missed out on such a genius.

In the many years that the medical school has been running, there are students who apply to skip grades every year, but those applicants are all in their juniors and seniors. There has never been a student like Chang Zhengyang who applied to skip a grade before the end of the first semester of his freshman year and only had classes for more than a month.

Students of the same period have just gained a preliminary understanding of university courses!

Ma Xiangguo remembered Chang Zhengyang's family situation very clearly. The Chang family had no relatives with a medical background, especially a background in biology, so it was impossible for Chang Zhengyang to receive relevant higher education in biology in advance.

So, this is a true genius!

As the saying goes, there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. Students are eager for the guidance of famous teachers. In fact, teachers also want to meet talented students!

Bole and the Thousand-Li Horse, this is a two-way journey.

"Okay, okay, Zhengyang, go back to the classroom first. I will discuss your matter at the department meeting as soon as possible."

Ma Xiangguo looked at Chang Zhengyang with burning eyes. After watching him leave, he immediately jumped up and trotted all the way to find other people to inform them of this matter.

Chang Zhengyang, the person involved, returned to the classroom calmly.

He was not worried at all about whether the academy would question him for skipping grades so quickly.

Ordinary people may not be able to understand what makes geniuses so powerful, but people in the academic circle know it very well.

This kind of thing is just like in the martial arts circle, if your kung fu is one inch higher, it will become unstoppable.

There is a similar saying in the academic circle: Just because you and the academic genius both get 100 points in the exam does not mean that you are at the same level as the academic genius. It is just because the test paper is only worth 100 points, which limits the academic genius's performance.

What is a genius student like?

Take the mathematical master Shiing-Shen Chern, for example. How great is Master Chen?

He was admitted to Nankai University at the age of fifteen and became a teacher in less than a year. Later, Tsinghua University opened the first graduate class in China, and Master Chen went to Tsinghua. Since this graduate class could not recruit many students for a while, Master Chen had no school to attend, so he simply became a teacher at Tsinghua. He was only nineteen years old that year, and his students were all older than him.

Master Chen is known as one of the greatest mathematicians in human history. He was recognized as the No. 1 in mathematics in the th century. His academic achievements unified the four major fields of algebra, geometry, differential calculus, and topology, and he was a grandmaster who founded a school of thought.

He is the founder of the Hua Xia Mathematical Center and the American Mathematical Center, and became an academician at the age of 37.

In his later years, Einstein wanted to turn to mathematics because he could not make breakthroughs in several physics studies. This was because deep breakthroughs in physics required the support of mathematical theory. After meeting the young Master Chen, he was successfully persuaded by Master Chen to give up mathematics. He said that Master Chen was responsible for breakthroughs in mathematical theory, while he would study Master Chen's mathematical achievements.

Chang Zhengyang didn't have to wait too long. In the afternoon, Ma Xiangguo found him, and then the two went to the office. There were already several people sitting there. Chang Zhengyang knew them all. They were professors in the department.

Unexpectedly, his application for skipping a grade as a freshman actually alarmed several professors!

Chang Zhengyang started to get serious. The professors didn't waste any time and took out a stack of test papers and placed them in front of Chang Zhengyang.

The questions on the test paper were all handwritten. Apparently there was no time to print them, so the professors simply wrote a handwritten copy.

Chang Zhengyang was not stage-frightened. He sat down immediately and started doing the test paper. The professors stood up and walked behind him to watch him answer the questions on the spot.

When they saw that Chang Zhengyang had answered every question correctly without hesitation, they nodded and looked at each other meaningfully.

This freshman named Chang Zhengyang is no ordinary person!

Because the professors had some ulterior motives for this set of test papers. The questions on the test papers were actually a little beyond the syllabus. For some of the questions, even sophomores might not be able to answer them!
