is not a straight line but a curve? Why don't rivers flow straight? Wouldn't it be easier if everything were set up as straight roads?
Everyone has this question more or less, but "detours" are the norm in nature. When you have bypassed all obstacles, you will finally reach the other side of victory. Why should you stay pessimistic and disappointed where you are, so that you stagnate??
Life is like the ebb and flow of the ocean. Who has never felt confused? Only if you hit your head and bleed, this kind of growth seems to be more meaningful.
No matter how much the outside world may potentially restrict people, there will always be "alternatives" appearing, such as Tang Xiaolin, a talented woman from Peking University.
From the perspective of a bystander, as long as she can successfully graduate from this university, she will already have a halo, and she will be a popular target in the workplace or society. However, there is no upper limit to her academic career, so Tang Xiaolin chose to move forward - went to the United States to further her studies in .
For international students, the biggest expectation of Chinese people is that one day they will return from their studies to serve the motherland, and the same is true in Tang Xiaolin's heart.
Just when everyone had high hopes for her, she quietly pressed the pause button on her fate. jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge 9 years after going to the United States. After the news spread back to China, it caused heated discussions among countless netizens .
Tang Xiaolin is usually very optimistic. Why is there such a bizarre thing? Do you have any unspeakable difficulties?
As the relevant investigations deepened, the truth slowly emerged in front of the public. Unexpectedly, the ending was so outrageous.
Peking University Talented Woman
Tang Xiaolin was born in Yantai, Shandong Province. Her family conditions are not outstanding, but this is not enough to stop herself from becoming outstanding.
When she reaches school age, Tang Xiaolin has always been "someone else's child". As long as the school takes exams, she will be among the best. Her classmates are envious of her teachers and her parents are proud of her. No one can make a conclusion on how high she can achieve in the future.
As a sophomore in high school, she chose science subjects without hesitation, breaking the "fixed" concept of many teachers.
Various formulas and arithmetic were effortless in Tang Xiaolin's eyes, especially in the final exam after the division of subjects, she successfully won the first place.
Do you think others are just "nerds"? She has set a strict schedule for herself . In addition to morning exercises, she also takes half an hour to run every morning, and plays badminton during recess in the afternoon. How much self-discipline does this require?
When talking about her life plan, Tang Xiaolin always said she wanted to be an aerospace designer, and the substitute teacher would tease her from time to time:
Xiaolin, don’t forget me when you become famous, she always nodded with a smile and led .
Three years of high school passed quickly. Tang Xiaolin won the first prize in the big test of life and finally received the admission notice from Peking University.
Excellent students from all over the country gather here, but she has successfully become the leader of the class atmosphere. Every day she is either in the study room or the library.
loves to laugh, studies well, and likes to wear skirts. Her roommate even gave her a nickname - Xiaobai.
When she was about to graduate, Tang Xiaolin talked about her next plan with her parents. If she had the opportunity, she would continue to improve her academic qualifications. If conditions did not allow for it, she might work in a laboratory, but the premise must be to contribute to the country's aerospace industry..
Later, she was offered an "olive branch" by University of Utah due to her outstanding ability. She studied space physics here. The talented girl from Peking University had high hopes from many others. Then Tang Xiaolin got a ticket and boarded a plane to the other side of the sea.
The research atmosphere at the University of Utah is particularly strong. Tang Xiaolin will definitely live up to expectations . No one thought that her fate would end here.
Destiny finally
This simple girl has no other thoughts. She only thinks about gaining access to new knowledge every day and trying to return to China as soon as possible to do her best.
Watching her parents grow old day by day, Tang Xiaolin made the decision to save time, which also means that she will have to put in more effort and sweat, but isn't that what academic research is like? If it were simple everyone would succeed.
In just two years, she obtained a master's degree. If nothing else happens, her path to a doctorate should also be smooth.
In order to broaden her academic career, she often attended class reunions during this period. Her innocent smile left a deep impression on everyone. Sometimes when others were confused, they would ask her for guidance on what they should say and what should not be said. This was really a bit busy...
No one expected that she did not meet a good mentor. The latter criticized her almost every day and often dismissed her as worthless.
One year, two years, three years... I have been experimenting with for 6 years. There is a slight gap in raw materials, and all the work has to be done again with . This is because scientific research is rigorous and understandable, but it cannot withstand malicious sabotage by malicious people.
Tang Xiaolin did not dare to complain. After all, this was in the distant United States, and the only thing she could do was to work hard.
Tang Xiaolin applied for graduation three times, one thesis, two thesis, and three thesis. As far as anyone could tell, she would have successfully completed her doctoral research and received a degree certificate. However, all of them were rejected by her supervisor without leaving any room.
She continued to do related academic research, and published three papers again during , but her graduation application was still ruthlessly rejected by her tutor.
The 32-year-old Tang Xiaolin cannot see the direction of her life. If she chooses to retreat, her decades of hard study and seven years of doctoral career will all come back to the starting point; if she continues to move forward, she does not know how long she will go on this road, and her eyes will no longer have the light...
. Loss and depression fill Tang Xiaolin's heart every day. Later, after an academic conference, she completely lost contact, and finally went to the United States. One day 9 years later, I jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. Everything seemed so extreme...
After the news came back to China, it aroused heated discussions among countless netizens. Under strong condemnation, the truth finally appeared in front of people:
Tang Xiaolin's doctoral qualification examination was delayed for 4 years. Even after applying for graduation many times, the tutor still did not plan to arrange for her to become a planned . How ridiculous is this?
Talking about the world with a smile
This talented woman from Peking University was later awarded a doctorate posthumously, but she still could not appease the extremely angry hearts of the Chinese people.
Tang Xiaolin was supposed to have a bright future and shine in her field of expertise, but she did not expect that she wasted many years because of her mentor's selfishness, and ultimately lost her own life. The helplessness and despair of pursuing dreams seems to be something no one can imagine.
At the end of the article, I would like to give you a word: There is nothing in my heart, just watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court ; I have no intention of leaving or leaving, just follow the clouds in the sky.
The road of life is never smooth. When encountering difficulties, you must keep a calm mind. Wherever there is sunshine in this world, there will be dark clouds, and when there is sunshine, there will be wind and rain. In an impetuous world, perseverance is the most important. Why do you have to become the "laughing stock" of others?
