He told reporters that this was his fourth time to come to Tsinghua University and would officially start four years of college life here. After the school learned about his situation, it arranged a dormitory for him to move. In addition, the school’s volunteers and seniors have been accompanying him to complete the registration procedures.talked about the next plan, Zhou Tong said, "The teacher took me to the teacher's canteen before. Next, I want to try the student canteen first and then apply for an electric car." Regarding the admission of the computer major that I was not longed for, Zhou Tong said, "The architecture major is also good. First study the architecture major, and then consider whether to change majors later." He also said that Teacher's Day is coming soon, and I would like to thank the teachers who have taught and taken care of him.
Zhou Yibing, who is from , , a middle school affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, was diagnosed with "congenital isthmus cleft" less than two months after the 2020 college entrance examination and was forced to take a leave of absence and undergo surgery. The illness did not weaken her will. A year later, Zhou Yibing returned to campus and successfully realized her dream of Tsinghua University Weiyang Academy.
"Out of interest in mathematics and science, I hope to study in precision instruments." Talking about this relatively "niche" choice, Zhou Yibing admitted that it was the disease a year ago that allowed her to "did herself think about what she likes and wants, so she doesn't care much about other people's opinions, but pursues the optoelectronics industry she likes, devotes herself to serving the country's major strategic needs, and contributes her own strength to the development of science and technology and breaking technological barriers in the motherland."
2021 is the eleventh year that Tsinghua University has implemented its self-improvement plan. Up to now, more than 3,000 students from more than 700 middle schools in 28 provinces across the country have attended Tsinghua University through self-improvement plans and national special plans.
