Sun's name is Yuchen. He is from Qingdao, Shandong. He moved to Xining in the Gengwu year. When he was four years old, his father was transferred to the Huizhou Regulatory Bureau of Guangdong Province, and his mother became a reporter for the Huizhou Daily. So the whole family moved to Huizhou and settled there. When he was a little older, his parents divorced, and his loving mother went to Italy. Sun and his father depended on each other for survival. Although life was difficult, his father's love did not diminish. He still tried his best to support his son's love for chess and his dream of literature.


When he entered primary school, Yuchen's academic performance was not obvious, but he had a skill, which was called the art of quick success. That is, he studied hard temporarily and made great progress in a short period of time. After half a year of hard work, he was finally admitted to Huizhou No. 1 Middle School, a famous school. However, the sea of ​​learning is endless, and the literary spirit is not dead. Although the schoolwork is heavy, he never gives up writing. Although his father did not understand, he still accompanied him to the New Concept Writing Competition, but unfortunately he did not win the first battle.

When he was in junior high school, Yuchen gradually became the last in the school. In the examination room, he did the opposite and wrote the English test paper in Chinese.


His grades were not good. He devoted himself to literature and writing, and he failed many times in the New Concept Competition. By the third year of high school, his total score was less than 400, and his admission to a third-tier university was in jeopardy. His dream of becoming a writer was fading, and his father was anxious, because he hoped that his son would become a successful person and that he would need to have a solid academic record to stand on his own in the world.

At the critical moment, Yu Chen suddenly had an ambition and wanted to compete with Peking University with 400% of his strength!

It was no joke. Yu Chen worked hard again, and within half a year, his score approached 600. However, he felt that he was still far from Peking University, so he looked for loopholes in Peking University's admission policy.


The winners of the first prize of the New Concept Award can enjoy a reduction in scores for independent enrollment, ranging from ten to thirty points.

How did he win the first prize this time after having failed three times in the New Concept? Yu Chen ignored the old article and submitted it to Mengya. Some people say that this move is tantamount to a blind shot, but he unexpectedly hit the bull's eye and Sun was able to enter the semi-finals.

At the time of the semi-finals, Yu Chen was very cautious. He read through all the first-prize winners in the past, analyzed their key points, and realized that the essence of the new concept is: cynical, unrestrained in teaching,


The words of "being unappreciated" are actually a winning streak. So Sun wrote the essay in one stroke, and his sharp writing finally won the championship and won the ticket to Peking University's independent enrollment.

Independent enrollment is colorful, Peking University recruits all-rounders based on their talents. With the light of ideals, Sun was favored by Cheng Yuzhu, a professor of Chinese Department, and Liu Mingli, an admissions officer, and was given a 20% discount on his score. At that time, Yuchen only had 600 points, and needed to increase his score by another 50 points to use this discount.


What others could not do was as easy as taking something out of a bag for Sun. In the end, he scored 115 in Chinese, 132 in Mathematics, 130 in English, 146 in Comprehensive, and 127 in History, a total of 650, surpassing the admission line of science majors of Peking University, and realizing his dream of being admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University.

People may wonder whether Yu Chen will go back to Shandong to take the college entrance examination. It is reasonable to infer that he is still in Guangdong. Huizhou No. 1 Middle School meets the requirements, and Sun often returns to school to share his experience, so it seems more reasonable for him to take the exam in Guangdong instead of Shandong.


After entering Yanyuan, Sun Ge was full of confidence and wrote an article in Mengya, titled "A Question of Argumentation", describing his achievements over the years. At the end of the article, he said:

When I was young, I was trapped in the south. My father was kind and my mother was far away. I studied alone with a lamp. My literary spirit was still alive and my chess ideas were always new. I kept fighting after many failures and finally I won. On the road to the new concept, I failed in the first test, failed in the second test, and still did not stop in the third test. At the critical moment, I resubmitted the old paper and unexpectedly won the rematch. I realized the new meaning of the eight-part essay, became angry with the world and became independent, and won the first prize.


Independent enrollment, Peking University favored me, I was grateful for the score reduction, I tried my best to improve my score, 650, enough to be proud of the others. The college entrance examination in Guangdong is not the same as that in Shandong, my achievements all started from this. Therefore, life is like chess, the layout is up to you, and if you are determined to move forward, you can eventually turn decay into magic.

I believe that talent and talent have not been worn away by the examination system, which is actually better than this educational system. I hope that those with aspirations will not bow down to the mundane world, and I also hope that you will all prove this truth and make it a reality in your own lives.

After this article was published, it received nearly ten thousand letters.


Perhaps it was at this moment that Sun Ge realized the power of traffic.

However, after entering the Chinese Department, Sun Ge felt that his talent and knowledge were not enough to match his peers, because they were all talented people and worried about the difficulty of graduation. Sun Ge always believed that "if you don't do it, then you'll be the best", and he didn't want to be the last one. However, how can he be the first among so many talented people?

Sun Ge observed carefully that under the trend of the time, many talented people in Peking University tended to go into finance and management to make money quickly. Although the Chinese Department also had its share of talents, there was one thing that kept them away from money and silver.


The top students avoid it, it is actually a gathering of those with less ability in the humanities. If I enter this field, isn't it my time to excel?

So, in the second semester of his freshman year, Sun Ge asked to transfer his major from Chinese to history. However, although he did not win the first prize, he was not as good as the ordinary people, and he still could not win the first prize. What should he do?

It is difficult to win over classmates, so turn to your teacher. In an interview with GQ, Sun Ge revealed his secret:

"In the assessment of history, thesis is more important than the test. Communicate with the teacher frequently and get to know him well. Then the thesis will be submitted to the teacher for review first.


If I accept the advice and correct it, won't my score be higher?" Every time I take a class, I must ask for the teacher's mobile phone and email address, "If there is any change, I will be held responsible." He smiled and pointed at four fingers: "As far as I can remember, at least four classes had scores below 85, but after the teacher's guidance, they all rose above that."
It is to open one's heart to others through words.

At that time, most of the history teachers were lonely, but Sun Ge was close to them and won their hearts. With this method, he jumped from the middle to the head of the history department, and had the opportunity to exchange with the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the United Nations simulation conference in the Netherlands.

Enjoy the best of Peking University and become a campus star.

However, Sun Ge's ambition was not limited to this. He thought that his classmates at Peking University were no longer his rivals, and now he wanted to challenge the president. In the year of Xinmao, Peking University President Zhou Qifeng proposed the "academic consultation" system, intending to help poor scholars, those with radical thoughts and those with financial difficulties. Sun Ge saw the opportunity. He seized on the four words "radical thoughts" and posted a series of posts on the Peking University BBS, denouncing the "academic consultation" as a sin and wanting to institutionalize the control of students, comparing it to "modern Nazis."

The article became a hit, Zhou Qifeng was in a dilemma, and the negotiation ended in failure. Sun Ge became famous and became a youth leader. In the same year, he and Chiang Fang-chuo from National Tsing Hua University appeared on the cover of Asia Weekly, and became famous.


Soon after, with the reputation of being the head of the history department, Sun Ge entered the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school in the United States, to study East Asian studies. He was in the same school as Wang Dong, although in different years. East Asian studies were unpopular at the time. The University of Pennsylvania was famous for its Wharton School of Business, and few people were interested in East Asian studies. Sun Ge took this opportunity to enter the school. Two years later, he claimed to have graduated from Wharton.

All of the above are only a small introduction to Sun Ge’s life. His skills are so profound that even if Aunt practices for a hundred years, she cannot reach his level.
