Immigrating to the United States for graduate study

The Central Academy of Fine Arts, or Yangmei for short, is the only fine arts institution directly under the Ministry of Education in China, which can be said to be the cradle of China painters. Today, if such a university wants to enter its gate, it must not only have high painting attainments, but also excel in various professional courses such as English, which shows how difficult it is to get into Central America. However, there was once a man who not only failed in English, but also frankly admitted that he didn't know English. He also walked into the door of Central America and later became famous all the way. This young man, who was admitted to Central America with a zero mark in English, is now a well-known painter in China, Chen Danqing.

I believe everyone has heard of some of Chen Danqing's famous names, and his life is also full of ups and downs. He only has a primary school education, but he can directly become a graduate student in Central America. He didn't know English, but he became a doctoral supervisor in Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts. His paintings are very famous. In terms of value, in 2007, a painting of Tibet sold for 35.84 million yuan.

I don't like reading, but I have a gift for painting.

Chen Danqing was born in Shanghai, date of birth: 1953+0 1. His family is not rich, but an ordinary family in bustling Shanghai. Although Chen Danqing's father, Chen Zhaochi, is just an ordinary businessman, he has a heart to serve the country. Because I like Wen Tianxiang's poem "Who has not died since ancient times, leaving Dan Xin as a history book", I named my newborn son Chen Danqing.

Chen Danqing's father is very open-minded and doesn't force children. Chen Danqing has been naughty since childhood. He doesn't like quiet study, but likes to write and draw in various places, and he is also very good at drawing. His attitude of not paying attention to learning was not opposed by his father, but was strongly supported.

Since Chen knew that his son liked painting, he often brought back some portraits from outside for Chen Danqing to copy, and he also took Chen Danqing's copied works with him to enjoy and praised them without hesitation. Chen's attitude planted the seeds of his love for art in Chen Danqing's heart. After Chen Danqing became famous, he said, "My father guided me to know and love art, and it was my father who gave me the idea of becoming a painter." .

When I went to the countryside in junior high school, I always had a dream of painting.

When Chen Danqing was a child, he was accompanied by his father to copy paintings. Although he has extraordinary talent and can copy it vividly, he is not a professional after all. When Chen Danqing 14 years old, he finally decided to drop out of school and began to formally study oil painting.

He only attended junior high school for one year and didn't finish it, so he only had a primary school education. But Chen Danqing has no regrets. He began to paint portraits everywhere with the art teacher and draw posters for all kinds of people. After two years of study and practice, Chen Danqing has painted hundreds of paintings.

In a blink of an eye, in the 1970s. This era is turbulent, and no one is spared. Chen Danqing's grandfather was criticized, and Chen Danqing's two-year painting life ended here. He was sent to the countryside to queue up. At this time he was only 16 years old. Even though the life of jumping the queue was hard, Chen Danqing never ignored his paintings. Even if he is busy every day, he will take time to draw. This life lasted for eight years, during which Chen Danqing's painting attainments improved a lot.

Apply for graduate students in Central America, but get zero in English.

From 65438 to 0978, the college entrance examination system was also restored, and there were also postgraduate admissions. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for 25-year-old Chen Danqing, but he only has a primary school education and has not learned anything but painting for many years, so there is little hope for him anyway. However, Chen Danqing chose to take a chance. He applied for a postgraduate degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Chen Danqing was in trouble for the postgraduate foreign language exam. He has only received primary education, but he doesn't know a foreign language. Looking at a blank test paper, he was at a loss. In the end, he just wrote a sentence: "I am an educated youth, I have never been to school, and I don't understand a foreign language." I handed in a blank sheet of paper and didn't even know it myself.

Although English hit a wall, Chen Danqing, with his years of painting skills, excelled in professional examinations and was highly appreciated by examiners. But because of poor English, Chen Danqing has given up hope.

Unexpectedly, among the many graduate students who applied for the exam that year, Chen Danqing was lucky to be the one who was admitted, and became the first batch of graduate students of the Central Academy of Fine Arts after the college entrance examination resumed.

In fact, this situation was quite common at that time. In the first year of resuming the college entrance examination, most people failed to meet the requirements in the knowledge examination. This also makes the enrollment schools have to lower their requirements, otherwise there will be no students. It is such a situation that Chen Danqing was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts because of his excellent professional skills, although he failed in English.

I worked as a doctoral supervisor in Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, and finally resigned.

Chen Danqing received the most professional education in the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and showed his painting talent to the fullest. He has been doing well in college. After graduation, he stayed in school to teach, and later immigrated to the United States and settled in new york. It was not until 2000 that Chen Danqing returned to China. On his return, he was hired as a professor and doctoral supervisor by Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and began his teaching career.

However, the current education system is not as compromised as it used to be, and even courses such as drawing English must be qualified. It is for this reason that Chen Danqing has failed to recruit a student for many years. In 2000, five students failed the English exam. Such examples abound.

Chen Danqing can't recruit master students for three years. In 2002, a student who was very optimistic about Chen Danqing took the entrance examination in Chen Danqing. This man has an excellent talent for painting and won the first place in the professional exam, but he still fell behind in English. Chen Danqing himself tried to find the headmaster to accommodate him, but failed. Finally, the student who had a good impression on Chen Danqing went to study in Britain. Until 2004, Chen Danqing finally couldn't bear it and finally chose to resign.

Today, Chen Danqing is a full-time painter. He often runs around looking for materials. He has become a big coffee in Chinese painting. Chen Danqing's luck in those days was forced by the times, but it is obviously different today. Today, English, as a universal language, is naturally extremely important, and all students have to be examined.

Perhaps Chen Danqing felt sorry for those who fell down in English because of his own experience.
