Chapter 20 Why did I get into MIT

There are two problems with China's college entrance examination system. One is that one time is fixed for life;This is the easiest way, but it is very harmful.America's top universities emphasize your personality, not your rank. ——Zhang Yizhao During the summer vacation of 1985, Zhang Yizhao became a first-year student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This year Yizhao was 17 years old, with an oriental body, he was not tall and thin, and looked younger than his age.He has become a "genius boy" in the hearts of teachers and classmates, but his mother always thinks that he is stunted. When he left home for Massachusetts, he couldn't help worrying about whether he could take care of himself.

In fact, this is not the first time Yizhao has left home.In high school, he went to Harvard University's math school, where he lived alone for several months.At that time, he was only 16 years old. He felt that he had been away from home for a long time, and he was very homesick.But the time at Harvard left a lasting impression on the kid.He felt a desire so strong that it overwhelmed his attachment to his mother and his family. "The college I'm going to," he said to himself, "is either Harvard or Massachusetts." To be honest, in the United States, "receiving a college admission letter" is not a great thing, at least it is much easier than in China.A kid who wants to go to college after high school can always do so without worrying about not getting good enough test scores.He will not lose his reputation because of insufficient scores, and he does not have to worry about having no money to pay tuition fees, because he can apply for loans.But if you want to go to the best school, it is very difficult.For example, Harvard University admits one out of every four applicants, and half of the students admitted to Massachusetts are the best students in high school.Good schools not only require students to have excellent qualities, but also pay a lot of tuition.

It is the same in any country that it is difficult to enter prestigious universities. The difference in the United States is that parents do not have the concept of "must let their children go to prestigious universities", and children do not have such pressure.According to Yizhao's observation, at least 50% of his classmates do not have this desire, and they believe that "as long as they have a university degree, it is enough." Even so, the longing in Yizhao's heart became stronger and stronger. "In the last two years of high school, I always had this idea in my mind." He said later, "Of course this is different from the students in China. This is the pressure I put on myself, not imposed on me by anyone."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, people always walk in the direction they desire in their hearts.From then on, Yizhao's life changed.His heart is full of desire, becomes diligent and passionate.Not only did he want to get his grades into the top 5% of the school, but he also started self-studying university courses, including mathematics, science, physics, chemistry...a total of 7 courses.This kid is really hardworking, forgetting to eat and sleep, and the pace of life is faster than the busiest adult.In the eyes of others, this is really miserable.But he has his own ideas: "If a child can't feel the joy of learning, it's not because he works too hard, but because he feels that what he is striving for is not what he wants." Those days , he feels the opposite, not a little pain, but also very happy, because what he has to do is not "have to do", not "should do", not even "obligation" or "responsibility", nor is it parental responsibility. "wish".He is after what he wants.

But for a really good university, the standard of "excellence" means more than good academic performance.Yizhao knew that schools like Harvard and Massachusetts would not admit students who had no merit other than excellent academic performance.They don't take academic performance as the only criterion, but also look at a lot of things other than scores, so those really outstanding children regard extracurricular things as compulsory courses.Yizhao made every effort to participate in those activities outside of the curriculum.That would take a lot of time, and he treats it all as if he was a partner on the journey of his dreams, walking hand in hand with them, without complaining, doing his best.

Now in 1985, Yizhao graduated from high school.He submitted his application to MIT, confident that everything was in place and his dream was about to come true. Many years later, Yizhao has obtained a Ph.D. from MIT and has become a researcher at Microsoft Research Asia.One day, I was talking to an acquaintance about my schooling experience, and when answering the question "Why did you enter Massachusetts", he said: There are two problems with China's college entrance examination system. One is that one time is fixed for life;This is the easiest way, but it is very harmful.Chinese children also have two problems: one is that they are all driven to the road of "going to university", whether they like it or not; the other is that Tsinghua University and Peking University are regarded as "absolutely number one".Standards are the same.It is also very harmful.

There is no absolute number one school in the United States, nor is there an absolute number one student.Students choose schools in a variety of ways, and schools choose students in a variety of ways.The top universities in the United States emphasize your personality and your uniqueness, rather than your grades and rankings.The U.S. will never think that, like China, they will come up with a "No. 1 student in the college entrance examination of a certain province" and then tell the media how they embarked on the "road to success." Therefore, the difference between Chinese education and American education is not whether there is a choice, but the standard of the selection method is different.If you want to go to Tsinghua University in China, you need to rely on scores, and scores can be calculated.If you want to enter Harvard and Massachusetts in the United States, there is no fixed thing that can be calculated.It depends on your overall ability, your uniqueness, and of course luck.For example, if you are not as good as another kid in math, but you are not a nerd and you are very involved in extracurricular activities, the school may choose you.After all, American education, like American society, is diverse.

Now, let's step back and see what this 17-year-old had on hand to make it impossible for MIT to reject his application: First, have a good academic record.This includes regular grades and final grades, school grades and national unified examination results. "I believe my grades are in the top 5%, but I can't see the specific data, so I can't say where I am." When the interview teacher asked about his grades, he answered this way. Second, being a member of many extracurricular organizations.He was a member of the school's math competition team, the president of the Chinese Homecoming Association, and a member of an honor society in the middle school, which only students with good character and academic excellence have the opportunity to join.

Third, there is a lot of work experience outside the campus.He goes to a hospital every Wednesday afternoon to do two hours of "voluntary work" for different departments, including developing computer applications, organizing articles and doing other chores. Fourth, there are some very unique abilities.Such as eloquence and tact in school debates, and playing chess. Fifth, strong thinking and expression skills.Massachusetts proposes test questions for test candidates, which are similar in nature to China's college entrance examination, but in a completely different way.It consists of a series of essays on a variety of topics.During the application process, Yizhao wrote more than a dozen papers, some of which were just self-introduction, while others were arbitrary.For example: What mistakes have you made in your life?What have you learned?Where are your strengths?Where are your weaknesses?Why do you want to come to our school?Another topic was, "You had dinner with so-and-so."All the articles were taken home and written, and the whole process lasted for several months.You can answer whatever you want.There is no standard right or wrong answer, it all depends on the students' knowledge and ability to express themselves.

Sixth, the teacher's recommendation letter. Seventh, a strong desire to demonstrate throughout the admissions process. Most American schools believe that a child's inner desires, not the desires of others, will be his everlasting guide. When a person has a desire in his heart, a strange power will be produced. —— Ma Weiying After Ma Weiying went to university, she suddenly found that she didn't like the chemical engineering major she studied.He hoped to change his major for himself, so he went to the teacher and said that he liked the Department of Electrical Engineering.The teacher said that according to the school's regulations, it is okay for students to change majors

, but the opportunities are few and the conditions are harsh. He stared at the teacher without blinking: "What condition?" "In one year, the test scores continued to maintain the first place in the class." This was in 1986, Weiying was 16 years old, a first-year student at Tsinghua University in Taipei.Unlike Tsinghua University on this side of the Taiwan Strait, that Tsinghua University is not the best school. It is the "second" school in Taiwan after National Taiwan University. "I don't care about this 'second'," he said when he applied for this school, "but I care about what major I study." His first choice was the Department of Electrical Engineering. Like Kai-fu and Yi-zhao, Wei-ying was born in Taipei, but at a younger age. By the time she entered school, she was already in the 1980s. There are Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Although they do not interact with each other and still have prejudices, there are actually many similarities. Educational systems and educational concepts are one of them.Most families regard their children's reading as the most important thing. From the 1960s when they started to go to elementary school to the 1980s when Weiying went to elementary school, it has not changed.When Weiying was very young, he knew the old adage that "everything is inferior, but reading is high". He also knew that "there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book." His father and mother always said to him: "Anyway, no matter what How about it, you are right to read good books, as long as you read good books, you will have everything in the future." People use academic performance to measure the quality of a child and predict his future.A child with good academic performance will be praised by neighbors, and parents will be proud of it; a child with poor academic performance will not be recognized by the surroundings, and he will gradually become loose, and even become a delinquent boy.At that time, there was a buzzword in Taiwan called "Cow Herding Class", which specifically referred to these children, which meant: "You don't need to study in the future, just go to herd cattle." Some people have no money and power, and are unwilling to be subordinated to others. If they want to stand up, they can only urge their children to study.This is how society as a whole thinks.The educational system is also encouraging this notion.Just like the mainland, Taiwan's education is also a "passing" system.A group of children are eliminated when they enter high school, and another group is eliminated when they enter college.So "Star High School" appeared, and it was very popular.Because the teachers there are good and the quality of teaching is good, it can give students more opportunities to be admitted to universities. Weiying's middle school is the best middle school in Taipei, called "Jianguo Middle School", but after these two filterings, 60% of the people were eliminated, and they can only go to vocational high schools, learn some skills, and then become "blue-collar workers". ".Children in Taiwan look down on "blue-collar workers", and their parents don't think that it is something that promising children do, which is exactly the same as in mainland China. It is this kind of value concept popular in the whole society that left a mark on Weiying's youth: if you don't go to university, you will have no way out, and you must go to a good university.This is the same as all Taiwanese children.Weiying's difference is: "Not only should you study hard, but you must also read your favorite book. I think it is a pain to learn something I don't like." He has been the kind of kid who can read since he was a child, and his grades are good.His biggest problem is that he will always be the second in the class. When he graduated from elementary school, he was second; when he graduated from middle school, he was second again.He hoped countless times that he could get the first place, but he couldn't do it.He called this "failing success", often feeling disappointed, but it was easy to find a way out for himself. "From a psychological point of view, there is of course a difference between number one and number two." He said, "But if I am always number one, then it is easy to think too highly of myself, and when I encounter a temporary failure in the future, I will lose my place." Unbearable. 'Second' is also good, that is, I can always remind myself that I am not good enough, and I can accept some setbacks, regardless of success or failure, I can take it easy and have a way out." The father always wanted his son to study medicine.Most of the older generation in Taiwan worship doctors, and my father is one of them.He always said to his son: "A good man heals the country, and a good doctor heals people." In his view, a man can either be a good man, which is to save the country, or a good doctor, which is to save people.For this family with no power background, being a doctor is the best choice: it can not only settle down, but also save lives and heal the wounded. But the son doesn't like being a doctor, he likes motors.He told his father that among all the science and engineering departments, the electrical engineering department has always been the best, and the best children are there.At that time, computer science was just emerging, and the first personal computer had not been born for a few years. He still knew nothing about this field, but his choice became his first step into the field of computer science. In the stalemate between father and son, the attitude of the mother plays a key role.She is a casual woman who doesn't care much about careers, and never forces her son to do things he doesn't like.She just wants her son to be happy. When it came time to apply for the university, Weiying encountered the question of whether to be the first or the second.The best electrical engineering department in Taiwan is at National Taiwan University, while the electrical engineering department of Tsinghua University can only rank second.He repeatedly weighed his own strength, and would rather go to Tsinghua University, the "second". He felt that this was a very sure thing, but unexpectedly he was so nervous that day in the university entrance exam (similar to the college entrance examination in mainland China) that he failed the exam.After completing the exam, he filled in his choice, but he still stubbornly filled in his desire in the column of "first choice".It's a pity that Taiwan University's admissions are based on scores, not interests.The teacher starts with the tallest person, and goes down the row in turn. After the first choice is selected, the second choice is selected.If your score is so low that all university places are gone, then you are out.Weiying's grades were quite poor, and he couldn't satisfy his wish, so he was immediately assigned to the chemical engineering department. Now, he is a first-year student in the Chemical Engineering Department of Tsing Hua University in Taiwan.What makes him happy is that he has reached a tacit understanding with the teacher.He is determined to meet the teacher's transfer requirements and pursue his "dream".For this child, this event has a special meaning: he wants to break the record of only "second" reading in 12 years. It is really strange to say that when a person has a desire in his heart, a strange power will be produced.Almost from that day on, Weiying's life changed.He went all out, with only one thought in mind: to be the first, and then "transfer to the department" ". At the end of the first semester, he broke his own record and became the first in the class.The second semester is over, and it is still the first place. What has never been done before, is now done.When encountering such a situation, many people think that it is because things are easier to do, but in fact it is because your potential has been stimulated more.The most important power to arouse your potential is not from the compulsion of others, but from your inner desire. At the beginning of her sophomore year, Weiying became a student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Their problem is not that they are not good enough.Their problem is that they walked step by step from childhood to adulthood, never thinking about what they really want? ——Zhang Hongjiang After Zhang Hongjiang graduated from Zhengzhou University, he went to Denmark to study abroad, where he experienced the civilization of Western society.he later said , he was sure that "Western education can make children happier and gradually discover their potential", and was surprised to find that he could use what he had learned, so he "decided to change his career".This idea must be based on his "Zhengzhou experience" and "Denmark experience".In fact, the vice president of Microsoft Asia Research Institute and a pioneer in the field of computer video retrieval, the work he is doing today is indeed far from what he learned in school. On a refreshing noon in the spring of 2003, he sat in a quiet corner of the Xijiao Hotel in Shanghai, reviewing his schooling experience from the 1970s to the 1990s - Yexian Middle School, Zhengzhou University, Danish University of Science and Technology, National University of Singapore, Can't help sighing repeatedly: In recent years, I always go to some universities to give speeches. Many students ask me: "Is the elimination rate of Microsoft Research Asia very high?" I said, "Yeah, about 30 percent of them end up leaving." They then asked, "Did the eliminated people underperform?" This is a question they often ask.So I replied: "Actually, it is not a bad thing for some people to leave the research institute. Their problem is not that they are not good enough. Their problem is that they have walked step by step since childhood, and never thought about what they really want. ? What is really suitable for you?" They all stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't understand, so I explained slowly: Our education system is a "over-the-hurdle system".A child grows up, his purpose is not to discover his potential, not even to learn something, certainly not to enjoy life.His goal is to be admitted to a good university, as long as he overcomes one by one hurdles.Everything is logical, there is no doubt about it.That's how I got over it myself, and that's how those who came after me also got over it.For example, if a person ranks first in elementary school, he will naturally be admitted to the best local junior high school.If the junior high school is the first again, then it will go to the best high school.And if you still rank first in high school, then you must go to a first-class university.If he is very good in university, he will go to study for a master's degree or a doctorate degree.I just walked all the way, doing whatever I want, never thinking about "Why should I go to university, why should I go to a Ph.D."In the end he may find that what he has been striving for is not what he wants at all, or is not suitable for him, his interest is not here, but he has never thought about it in the past.Therefore, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, and those who can't make it feel that they are "losers", and those who pass may not necessarily be all right.Maybe he shouldn't have crossed that single-plank bridge at all, and shouldn't have gotten a Ph.D.It would probably be much better for him to spend his 4 years of PhD studying something else. Some people bring down other people's websites and call them hackers.Some people are very skilled, and they are also called hackers.Hacker means too much.If you think "hackers" are good people, then I am a "hacker". ——Butterfly Rain "We found a hacker, in China." One morning in January 2003, Zhang Yaqin came to the office, opened the e-mail, and this line popped up immediately. The email came from the security team at Microsoft's corporate headquarters.One of the responsibilities of this group is to monitor the operation of Internet browsers around the world, specifically looking for "bugs" and then making up for them. For Microsoft, the nature of online "hacking" is different.Some "hackers" are indeed hostile to Microsoft, looking for "bugs" in Microsoft software products, and exploiting the loopholes in the software itself to attack those software users.The attack was extremely destructive and embarrassing for Microsoft.Other "hackers" are purely "technophiles," whose love of technology leads them to find faults in the products of big companies.They never take action to attack the website, because they know that it is illegal and will cause losses to others.But they usually publish their findings on the Internet, and also detail how they can use their "discoveries" to catch "bugs" in the software and make a big fuss. According to the judgment of the Microsoft headquarters security team, the newly emerging Chinese hackers belong to the latter case.He is not a malicious attacker, but he is highly skilled and has a unique vision.He pointed the finger at "Microsoft Internet Explorer" and posted at least four "bugs" he found on the Internet. "What he found was unbelievable. He's better than the best hacker we've ever seen," the security team said in an email. "He knows what causes these 'bugs' and can Guess what mistakes the programmer probably made when writing the program, and tell others how to attack. Every time he announces a 'bug', there will be a large number of malicious attackers following, attacking all those who use Microsoft products .” Microsoft's security personnel are hard to guard against, because this "Chinese hacker" can catch a "bug" on the "browser" almost every month, and he is not as anonymous as other hackers.He posted all his stories on the Internet. Strictly speaking, his behavior is not illegal, because he did not use Microsoft's "bug" to attack others, nor did he cause damage to others.But such a "hacker" made Microsoft a headache, and the engineers of Microsoft's security team wanted to find him very much, so they asked Zhang Yaqin for help. "It is certain that he is a Chinese student," they told Zhang Yaqin, "studying at Xiangtan University, and his name is Liu Dieyu." Xiangtan University, Hunan, China. Die Yu sat in his overcrowded room, staring at the computer screen without moving for hours.On it is one of Microsoft's most proud products, the "Internet Browser".He knew that what he was looking for was inside, and he had clearly felt its existence, but why didn't it come out? "The security of this system is that the character 'a' is not allowed," he repeated to himself: "No 'a' is allowed." A thought flashed through his mind like lightning: "Microsoft's inspectors will definitely detect 'a', so I'll just use 'A'." As he thought, he tapped his fingers on the keyboard.At that moment, "Internet Explorer" went into trouble. He cracked his big teeth and smiled: "I broke its rules? Didn't I?" He found what he was looking for, which turned out to be a capital "A".This is already the fifth "bug" he has found on "Internet Explorer".As usual, he posted it on the Internet, leaving his name and address. He stood up, and couldn't help but feel a little proud: for a giant like Microsoft, thousands of people make a "browser", you can't help but say that it is the best software in the world, how many people hate it so much, and how many people hate it? But it doesn't work, but I have a way to find its fault. There are many people around him who hate Microsoft, and seeing what he has done, they can't help but feel very happy.After I was happy, I was guessing about Microsoft's movements again. "It's weird," a classmate said to him, "that Microsoft hasn't taken action against you yet?" "Take action?" He was dubious.A sense of insecurity is also gathering in my chest more and more, and thinking of "criminal cases often occur in this city", I can't help but get nervous. "I often dream," he said to a friend, "that Microsoft came, like a devil, to catch me. I crouched in a corner... and then woke up with a start." The friend laughed and said, "I heard that it costs 100,000 dollars to fix a 'bug', will they ask you to pay?" While talking and laughing, the phone rang.He picked it up, and heard a voice over there say, "I'm from Microsoft." Die Yu was immediately dumbfounded. The person on the phone is really from Microsoft. His name is Lin Bin. He is the manager of the New Technology Development Department of Microsoft Research Asia.He received the e-mail forwarded by Zhang Yaqin and found Dieyu easily. But the person on the opposite side didn't speak, only panting. "We are looking for you, there is nothing special." Lin Bin felt the other party's tension, hoping to ease the atmosphere. The other party said "ah", but still didn't speak. Lin Bin seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly introduced himself.Said that he was in Beijing and was in charge of an engineering team at Microsoft Research Asia. "Ah. Ah." "I'm just a techie at Microsoft." "Ah, ah." "Our dean is Zhang Yaqin. He is a world-class computer scientist." "Ah. Ah." "I used to participate in the production of Windows 2000." "That's cool." The other party finally spoke. "We are very interested in your work." "Ah." Die Yu didn't speak again. "We would love to invite you to Beijing to have a look. Maybe you would like to cooperate with us." "what……" "Come here if you have nothing to do during your winter vacation. You can take a plane or a train. We will take care of your travel expenses." "I am very willing." Die Yu said, "Maybe." Die Yu put down the phone, her heart still pounding.His first thought was: "There are too many scammers these days. Are they from Microsoft?" Then another thought: "Even if they are real, why are they looking for me? Should I be locked up? " Thinking like this, Die Yu felt the thrilling and bizarreness of "The Matrix" for the first time. He actually doesn't like being called a "hacker". "I've never seen a hacker," he said once. "Some people bring down other people's websites, they are called hackers. Some people are very skilled, and they are also called hackers. Hackers mean too much. If you think Hackers are good people too, so I am a hacker." To be honest, he embarked on this path completely in an inadvertent state of mind, just with a bit of curiosity, a bit of interest, and a bit of desire to prove his ability. He still clearly remembers that it started on June 30, 2002.That day, he came across an article written by a foreigner, telling you how to find errors in a program, and gave many examples to illustrate.Many things that Dieyu thought were very difficult suddenly became simple, as the author of the article said, "You don't need to have so much knowledge and skills, you just need to look at it from a special angle. " "I can do it too." Die Yu thought. He didn't sleep that night.I thought about it all night and racked my brains.The next day, I went to Microsoft's "Internet Browser" to test my idea and succeeded in one fell swoop.He found his first "bug," on July 1, 2002. For Die Yu, this day has a special meaning.This is not because he started to entangle with Microsoft, but he re-recognized himself: "The main question is, do you really want it. If you really want it, you will do it desperately, you can Use your knowledge to realize your ideas, and you will get what you want." "I found that as long as one simple step, I broke through certain restrictions. There is nothing complicated in it. All the knowledge is the same, and they all know it." The "they" he said refers to those who are smart and talented at Microsoft. Experienced program engineer.At the Microsoft headquarters in the United States, they repeatedly lamented the magic of this Chinese student, because he always did things in some very strange places.But Die Yu said: "Who doesn't know the difference between 'a' and 'A'? They just didn't think of the difference here." "I know those programmers are just completing the tasks assigned by others, and then let other people test. What do they want most? Want to pass the test." Die Yu waved her hand fiercely, and then said: " But when a 'bug' shows up, there must be many weaknesses. He makes up one, and there are many more, and he may ignore it, so you can easily catch his weakness and then expand it. That weakness is usually in his' Patch' next to." His ideas have been tried and tested. He searched everywhere on Microsoft's "browser" and kept finding "bugs", but Microsoft was also looking for him.Now, Microsoft has finally found him. Lin Bin put down the phone and went to Wang Jin, the manager of the Human Resources Department of the research institute, and asked her to arrange for Die Yu to come to Microsoft Research Asia for an internship during the winter vacation. So Microsoft's phone entered Xiangtan University again. But this time Die Yu didn't even answer the phone.He went to his father.After hearing what happened, the father became suspicious.He told his son in a tone of someone who had experienced it, and he must check whether they belonged to Microsoft. Dieyu's method of verifying the situation was simple and practical. He called Beijing 114 directory and asked for the phone number of Microsoft China. When he called, the person who answered the phone was Wang Jin. "Are you from Microsoft?" he asked suspiciously from there. "Yeah. I called you, why didn't you answer?" Die Yu still didn't believe it: "I won't answer because I don't believe you." "I'll give you my phone number and our company's website. I'll send you your plane ticket to Beijing. Is that okay?" "These can all be fake. I only read emails." Wang Jin felt that he couldn't convince Die Yu, so he turned back to Lin Bin: "Why is this kid so interesting? He asked if you belonged to Microsoft?" Lin Bin's phone call came to Xiangtan again: "You believe in emails, that's good, our email address has the word 'Microsoft', it can't be false, right?" After the Spring Festival, Die Yu finally came to the Sigma Building. Lin Bin called Microsoft headquarters, saying that the "hacker" they were looking for was now by his side. "Great." The other said excitedly, "Let's have a meeting together." Die Yu was shocked when she heard the sound: "I want to meet the enemy!" "How did you think of this?" Lin Bin was very surprised. "I'm looking for trouble with them. Aren't they the enemy? I'm talking to the leader of the enemy." Lin Bin said: "We are not enemies, we just want to make the software better." "What do you want me to do?" Lin Bin said to him: "You can do whatever you want. If you want to continue to find 'bugs' on the 'browser', the product team at our headquarters can cooperate with you. If you find a loophole, they will immediately fix it and package it. , and then give it to you. You can get the latest program, which has not been announced yet." The two were talking when Die Yu's cell phone rang.It was his father calling from Xiangtan. "No problem, I'm safe." Die Yu said into the receiver, then raised her head to look at Lin Bin: "I think your Microsoft is different from what the outside world says." Butterfly Rain started to work.For 7 consecutive days, he found 7 "bugs" on the "Internet Explorer", one per day, and they were all hard to find.He himself was very excited, and the people at Microsoft headquarters were even more excited, exclaiming, "Why is this person so powerful." "His job is simply too good," Lin Bin said. On the eighth day, Lin Bin gave Die Yu a book.It's about how to write secure code.The author is Microsoft Corporation Products Division A manager of the Microsoft Office listed the mistakes that programmers often make in the book, which is extremely delicate and thoughtful, so this book has become a must-read for Microsoft programmers. Lin Bin said: "Reading this book, you can better discover where the weaknesses of programmers are." Die Yu was overjoyed, took it back and read the first chapter, and immediately had a new idea in her mind.He tried to deal with him in his own way, directly going deep into the group led by the author of the book. After listening to his thoughts, Lin Bin felt that there would be no results: "He wrote the book himself, and he will not make mistakes in the group he leads." But Die Yu believed in her intuition more. What happened next took everyone by surprise.Dieyu launched his "battle" in the address bar of the "browser".In terms of scale, this is indeed a "battle" rather than a small fight.The "browser" has no problem when he uses a way to express a letter.He continued to expand the second way, still no problem.This was all expected, and he didn’t care. He continued to do it in one go, and continued to expand new expressions. The character strings also extended rapidly, until the 81st time. When the faults of the system were revealed, he laughed and continued to work hard. At least two hundred variations were expanded, and the string formed an unprecedented length.It turned out that from the 81st change to the 100th, there would be problems in the system, and finally he entered a bank's webpage inexplicably. "It's really amazing." Lin Bin said, "Other people's tests only changed a dozen or twenty times, which is already incredible. In fact, his changes ranged from 0 to more than 200 times. It was a short period in the middle. , he found the problem. The problem was reported to the headquarters, and the people there admired it completely." "This kind of test, we can't imagine at all." The security team at Microsoft headquarters called back. In all fairness, it is a coincidence that people like Die Yu appeared in China's education system.He is a second-year student majoring in computer science at Xiangtan University. He is only 20 years old and the only child of his parents. From the outside, this person does not have the taste of a magical elf. In fact, he is more like a eccentric and somewhat nervous person. His eyes are big and energetic, sometimes divergent and sometimes focused, with protruding front teeth, long hair, and a contoured face. Clear, Adam's apple is particularly obvious. My father is a computer maker, both software and hardware.He has been fond of playing computer since the fifth grade of primary school.The middle school he attended was not a key middle school. "I'm a little better at mathematics, but my Chinese is very poor. I failed at all in Chinese in the college entrance examination." He recalled his study experience in this way.In his first year of college, his grades improved, he was first or second in his class, but he was not at all excited. 我从小学到大学，都和别的同学不一样。别人都是习以为常，可是我总是觉得很累。这是为什么啊？看到别人都学英语，我就受不了，因为我觉得那种学英语的办法根本没有用，就很痛苦，不想学。我的同学们也觉得这种学法没有用，但是他们很乐意去学，可是我就受不了。其他事情也是这样，同学们毕业就想考研究生，那不是又一次高考吗？你说难受不难受？要不就是去找工作，可是找到一个自己喜欢的工作又那么难。所以每天都是惶惶不可终日。有一个同学，明年就要毕业了，我从他身上想到了我，就很恐怖。 他是那种对任何事情都抱怀疑态度的人，甚至不免偏激。从很多方面来说，他并不是我们所期待的那种“E学生”。这可以从他和一个记者的对话中看出来： “我不怎么相信老师，也不相信父母。” "why?" “他们总是说谎。” "lie?" “是的，高考就是这样的。我最宝贵的时间都浪费在这件事情上面了，他们总是告诉我，高考有多么重要。他们可能是说谎说惯了。整天就是考试、考试。我听了他们的话，考了，可现在那些东西全都忘记了，有什么用处？” “你的意思是，你后悔参加高考？” “我认为那段时间过得很不值。” “要是再给你一次选择，你会怎么做？” “我不会去考这个东西。因为你浪费的始终都是你自己的力量，是不是？” “你会干什么去呢？” “也许我会去学英语，去学电脑。然后去跑步。我想把高考那段时间变成我自己的力量留在我的身上，而不是变成一张纸。” “力量和大学录取通知书真的那么对立吗？” “是不大一样。” “有很多人不上大学，也很成功。但是就概率来说，可能受教育水平比较低的人，成功的概率也要低一些。比如，100个不上大学的人中，可能有一个人成功了，但100个上了大学的人，可能有10个人比较成功。” “你这样说，也有道理。可我还是觉得，高考那段时间过得很不值。”
