18-year-old boy becomes a graduate student in Tsinghua University.

Zhang Yichi's father, Zhang Shiwei, graduated from Hebei University on 20 10 with a doctor's degree in history, and is now an associate professor at Longnan Teachers College in Gansu Province. Mother Chen Chaojun graduated from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and is a teacher in the Education Department of Longnan Normal University. "I think there is no greater cause for the Chinese nation than cultivating excellent children." What are the factors that accompany the success of outstanding teenagers? A few days ago, the reporter interviewed Zhang Yichi and his father. After listening to the success and success in the eyes of the father and son, the reporter found that this "prodigy" showed a rare personality accomplishment to the world in addition to the glamorous report card.

Dialogue with parents: how to be a parent?

Reporter: When you found that your son had excellent learning ability and talent at a young age, how did you and your family raise your son?

● Zhang Shiwei: My wife and I think that there is only one child. If one child succeeds, it means 100% success, and if one child fails, it means 100% failure. Children's right to education must be firmly in the hands of parents to avoid being poisoned by TV and the Internet. Children were not allowed to watch TV until they were 3 years old. After the child is 3 years old, the whole family only watches news broadcast and weather forecast every day. After reading the phone, the family read a book. The child has developed the habit of reading since childhood. Scientific research has found that watching TV is harmful to children's brains and is not conducive to children's attention to books, classrooms and other relatively less exciting things.

Children are the shadows of their parents. To educate children well, we must constantly improve our educational skills. In order to improve our educational skills, our parents need to make strenuous efforts and constantly learn from themselves. If we have a headache at the sight of books, children will trudge in school: if we indulge in eating and drinking all day, children will miss the candy and fruit at home in class. My master's and doctor's struggle has deeply influenced my children. In fact, the process of educating children is also the process of educating yourself. You should be what you want your children to be. We can often hear and see our words and deeds from children's language and behavior.

Reporter: We know that once some young college students leave their parents and enter the university, they can't handle life and study well because of their young age and poor self-control, and eventually they are dropped out. After Zhang Yichi went to college at the age of 13, his grades were still excellent. What is the secret of his "Excellence"?

● Zhang Shiwei: If there is a "secret", first of all, I have paid attention to cultivating children's self-reliance and exercising their sense of participation since childhood. I am a master's and doctoral student, and I am financially strapped. Although you can't create superior family material conditions for your child, you can mold his excellent character and cultivate good habits. At an early age, he learned to clean up the housework, wash the clothes of the whole family with a washing machine, and wash pots and pans after meals. I remember when my child was 9 years old, my mother was not at home. After school at noon, several students asked me questions and came home very late. When I got home, I found my son cooked four dishes and one soup. He said it makes me happy to look at the dishes cooked in the book.

Secondly, I help children communicate with children of different social and cultural classes and teach children to get along with adults of all ages politely. When I was studying in Baoding Fine Arts Middle School and Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, many students had excellent family conditions. My son's humble and happy life is inseparable from my early training of him. Third, help children make life plans and let them be designers of their own lives. His life planning is divided into ultimate goal, ten-year goal, three-year goal, monthly goal and weekly and daily goal. His practice proves that life is like sailing in the sea, and life planning is the basic route. With the route, the ship of life will not deviate from the goal, let alone lose its way, and can sail to the other side of success more smoothly and quickly.

Reporter: Excellent study does not mean excellent personality. What specific methods do you have to train your son to be a man?

Zhang Shiwei: Loving children is an instinct, even an old hen can do it, but how to love is a science. We should be responsible for children's psychological development as well as their physical development. We should not only pay attention to the development of children's intelligence, but also pay attention to the cultivation of children's abilities in all aspects; Children should be taught how to learn knowledge and how to be a man.

First of all, I put children's ideological and moral education in the first place and cultivate children's sense of integrity. Honesty and trustworthiness are the virtues of the Chinese nation. The doctrine of the mean says, "Honesty is heaven." Fu Xuan, a philosopher and writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, said, "Treat people with faith, not with faith. Don't believe others, believe it or not. " It means being sincere and trustworthy to others, even if others don't trust at first, it will turn into trust; If you are hypocritical and don't keep your word, even what others originally trusted will become distrust.

Secondly, in interpersonal relationships, we should cultivate children's kindness and morality, always care for others, think for others, be anxious about others, help others suffer and worry about others.

Thirdly, in the pursuit of life, in order to cultivate children's spirit of self-improvement, I told them the legendary "Kuafu fills the sea day by day" and "Jingwei fills the sea", and Zhuge Liang's "Do your best until you die". I suggest that parents take time out to be alone with their children every day and learn to tell stories. There are countless philosophical stories in China's traditional culture. Telling children these simple and profound classic stories is entertaining, wise and beneficial. For example, "Yuan An is lying in the snow", and children will know how to think more about others. When you talk about "playing with the bonfire prince", children will understand that trust is priceless; Talking about "high mountains and flowing water", children will know how to concentrate on their studies; Speaking of "Zheng people make umbrellas, the more people plant rice", the children know that they must persevere to get things done well; When it comes to "Ao Bai captured by Kangxi", children will know how to win through patience. I also encourage children to make up stories and imagine. Telling classic stories to educate children not only strengthens the relationship between parents and children, but also makes children lively and interesting, and also enables children to understand life, which is much better than empty imperative preaching. Fourth, cultivate his hard-working quality. For example, the year before last, I bought a rough house with a loan of 120 square meters. When others contract the decoration to others, we will use our summer vacation to pull sand cement, tile and grind the wall with our son and decorate ourselves. At the beginning, we couldn't put up the floor tiles, so my son downloaded the teaching video from the Internet, watched it step by step, and soon did a good job. My son's fingers are blistered. After the transformation, my colleagues all said it was a good job.

Reporter: As can be seen from the resume, Zhang Yichi graduated from the university on 20 12 and was admitted to Mei Qing on 20 13. So, what is Zhang Yichi doing in the middle of this year?

● Zhang Shiwei: 20 1 1, the project "Memo Telephone" organized by Shenzhen Zhongxing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. won the gold medal. On April 20 12, ZTE sent people to sichuan fine arts institute to recruit graduates. Zhang Yiqi was originally chosen. When he signed the agreement immediately, he saw that his age was below 18, so he had to give up. I said to my son, "I originally wanted you to work for three years, gain some life experience and then take the postgraduate exam." Now it seems that I can only prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. " In a year's time, make a detailed plan and get into Tsinghua! Have confidence? "The son said," Dad, don't worry, I will not only take the exam, but also take the first place in the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts! "

Dialogue with Zhang Yichi

Reporter: As a "prodigy" in the eyes of others, is there a lot of pressure? If so, how to adjust?

● Zhang Yichi: I never thought I was a child prodigy, because I made great efforts to achieve results. I just learned something ahead of my peers. As far as I'm concerned, there is pressure. After all, I am a few years younger than others. Until now, I still remember my father's words: "Son, I asked you to study truant this morning not to make you excellent, but to save time for the future." Even if I do something wrong in my future life, I will come again when I have time! "I think the pressure needs self-regulation, think more about some beautiful things and keep an optimistic attitude. Many things are not as serious as I thought.

Reporter: When you were in college, you were much younger than your classmates. Does this age dislocation make you feel lonely?

Zhang Yichi: I got a lot of help from my teachers, classmates and friends during my study. I came up step by step, just a little faster than my peers, and I didn't suddenly become like this, so my loneliness is minimal.

Reporter: How to face failure?

● Zhang Yichi: Some people think that I grew up with success and praise, but this is not the case. I took the college entrance examination in 2008. Both teachers and parents thought that I could be admitted to Tsinghua, but I was almost admitted to sichuan fine arts institute. I am sad. Many people say that being admitted to a university at the age of 13 is a success, but I returned sichuan fine arts institute's admission notice and began to repeat my studies in Baoding Fine Arts Middle School. My parents, the head teacher and Chairman He all comforted me, and soon my mood was good. Soon, the leaders of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts called many times, repeatedly persuaded me to go to college, and promised to reduce tuition fees. I listened to my parents' persuasion and reported to sichuan fine arts institute. But at that time, I had made up my mind and said to myself, "Tsinghua, wait for me. I will come in a few years. " When I am depressed, I pay great attention to communicating with my parents and friends, so I quickly get out of depression and meet the challenge with a sunny attitude.

Reporter: How to balance cultural courses and professional courses?

● Zhang Yichi: My father is a doctor of history, and his culture class is very good. He can help me. My mother graduated from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, and my grandfather graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. He can help me with my specialized courses. Although everyone's family situation is different, I think culture and major should make great efforts. I want to say to art students who are worried about their professional or cultural achievements: "Balanced development can succeed!" You can't give up learning culture just because you are an art student. I think learning is gradual, so we must plan it well. Although each time period has different emphases, when learning one aspect, others can't fall behind. At that time, when I was training to paint in Beijing, I went back to my dormitory after painting every day, and then I read some books in my culture class. Personally, I don't think we should set a time period every day in the learning process, but we should set a task amount.

Reporter: What made you choose the road of art?

● Zhang Yichi: I loved art since I was a child, and studied painting with my grandfather and mother who graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. I have never regretted studying industrial design. Through design, LV handbags with a cost of 100 yuan can be sold to 1 10,000 yuan; The cost price of a Mercedes-Benz is 654.38+ 10,000, and it can be sold for one or two million. The experience of western developed countries fully proves the importance of industrial design. During the 1929 crisis and 1997 crisis, western countries eliminated the crisis through industrial design innovation. I will make my own contribution to making China a great design country in the future.

Reporter: Will you feel tired if you live a purposeful life?

● Zhang Yichi: My daily goals will not be particularly detailed. I just set a stage task and do a little every day. These plans will also be adjusted and revised according to the actual situation. In fact, each of us will make plans intentionally or unintentionally when we do things, but I have made the plans more detailed. When you get used to being prepared, life won't become very tired.

Reporter: What do you think makes you different from others? What are your plans for the future?

● Zhang Yichi: What makes me different is that I have a strong sense of social responsibility and am very persistent in the pursuit of ideals. I have a kind heart and am always ready to help others. I have a strong sense of teamwork, serious and down-to-earth study, strong endurance, willpower and hard-working quality. I am healthy and have a wide range of hobbies, such as jogging, playing volleyball, badminton, practicing Tai Ji Chuan, traveling, surfing the Internet and so on. My future plan is to complete my graduate studies with excellent results, become a first-class senior industrial designer, and impress the world consumers with my beautifully designed products!
