[Editor's Note] The warm wind is blowing in the graduation season of 2020. Although this year's graduates were not able to accompany Huiyuan through the last spring, their hard work in writing will not be forgotten in the study room, their sweating in the sports field, and Huiyuan will not forget their hard work for their dreams. Nowadays, Huiyuan’s talents are beginning to mature and they are heading towards Pengcheng with ideals in mind. I wish every foreign trader who comes out of Huiyuan to sail to the sea and have a bright future. UIBE launched the "Youth Role Models-2020 Outstanding Graduates" series to share the growth stories of graduates with everyone.
Zheng Zixuan: Effort comes from desire
Reporter Shao Yaosen
Zheng Zixuan, a 2020 undergraduate majoring in financial mathematics at the w88 casino of Statistics, w88 casino, and a member of the Communist Party of China. While in w88 casino, he won the title of outstanding graduate, w88 casino-level outstanding student, comprehensive first-class scholarship, third prize in the National College Student Computer Big Data Competition, third prize in the Cross-Strait National Market Survey and Analysis Competition, second prize in the National College Student Mathematical Modeling Competition, fourth place in the International Financial Engineer Championship in China, gold medal in the WorldQuant Quantitative Modeling Challenge, w88 casino Competition Scientific Research Commendation Award, third prize in Beijing Poetry Conference, first prize in w88 casino Poetry Conference, second prize in Beijing Good News Selection and other honors. Finally, he chose to continue his studies in economics and computational science at Duke University.
The road of exploration, the ambition to pursue it
Zheng Zixuan entered finance-related majors with a love for mathematics. At first, he was more willing to regard his major as mathematics rather than finance. After minoring in other types of courses, he soon discovered that he was not suitable for being buried in reports and manuscripts, so he firmly shifted his focus to the quantitative field that he was interested in and good at. At the same time, his decision to study abroad for graduate w88 casino was not a momentary thought. Even before he started studying in the second half of his sophomore year, he was not very clear about his future direction. “After gradually weighing my personal resources and comparing the cost-effectiveness of various options for me, I began to understand that studying abroad would be my best choice in the second semester of my sophomore year. ”
After determining the direction, Zheng Zixuan began to make detailed plans for himself - analyzing the feasibility of applying to a prestigious w88 casino abroad through the scores of previous admissions and his own performance expectations. After determining that it was feasible, he set about improving his grade points and setting phased goals for himself. In order to achieve his goals, his tenacity and excellent execution also played an indispensable role - "Once he studied for thirty hours continuously. Zheng Zixuan recalled that time, "How hard you work depends on how eager you are for your goal." "Countless lonely lights in the middle of the night seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, illuminating his way forward and reflecting the distance that was getting closer and closer.
Erudition comes first, literature and art follow
People who are quite good in mathematics often regard mathematics, games, and calculations as art, appreciate the beauty, and enjoy them. Zheng Zixuan is one of them. But he is not limited to mathematics courses. The pleasure of interlacing black and white and crossing the chessboard has taken root in Zheng Zixuan's heart since he was a child. He even considered becoming a professional player. After years of tedious schoolwork, this amateur fifth-dan and national second-level athlete co-founded a Go club with his friends in college. After studying, he regained the beauty and happiness contained in every move on the chessboard.
Not only that, as a "science student" Zheng Zixuan is often fascinated by the world of poetry and poetry, which provides him with valuable inspiration in his exploration of logic and mathematics. During his undergraduate years, Zheng Zixuan and his teammates in the "Jiashu" team, who were also science students, overcame all obstacles and won the championship at the first poetry conference of the University of International w88 and Economics. In the "Flying Flower Order" session, they even competed against teams from the Chinese w88 casino for several games, demonstrating the "science students"' outstanding attainments in poetry.
Regardless of the framework, expand the future
On the premise of laying a good foundation for academic performance, Zheng Zixuan chose to make full use of his time to continuously add luster to his resume. “At the beginning, I also filled out my resume through competitions such as scientific research assistant and national innovation.” Like many students who are still in the early stages of undergraduate studies, Zheng Zixuan mostly enriched himself by actively participating in on-campus projects and competitions during his freshman and sophomore years, and used this as an opportunity to secure internship opportunities for himself.
Because of his excellent grades, he was favored by the teacher when applying for a scientific research assistant position at Tsinghua University, and made a great contribution to this scientific research project - ultimately completing all the charts and data analysis in the report alone. Talking about this valuable experience, he said that this experience not only made him understand the close relationship between the economic field and sustainable development, broadened his choices and future possibilities, but also exposed him to valuable cutting-edge scientific research content, which truly enabled him to learn something. More importantly, during the scientific research process, he not only met excellent partners and gained friendships, but they also gave him more ideas and opportunities in future studies and exchanges, which played a great positive role in his development. This experience also gave him new choices and directions for later w88 casino applications. In the end, the proportion of economics in his application even exceeded his initial focus on metalworking and metrology.
The tree of talent that provides shade to benefit people
“When I was a freshman, Senior Sister Zhong Ping, who was number one in the college, gave me a lot of help. Talking about his experience in the lower grades, Zheng Zixuan was filled with emotion, “With the recommendation from senior Zhang Yifan, I got my first internship opportunity. " He emphatically expressed his gratitude to his seniors who had helped him. He said that in the process of applying to the w88 casino, the help given to him by outstanding seniors allowed him to avoid blindly following the trend, but to plan his future with a plan and purpose. "I want to give the help I received to my juniors. "Seeing that his fellow students were experiencing the same or similar situation to his own, Zheng Zixuan wanted to share his experience and resources with others, provide referrals, try his best to answer doubts, and provide various consultations... to help his fellow students solve some problems and avoid problems. This prevents them from being unable to start or blindly following the trend and taking unnecessary detours, and helps them better move forward on the road to pursuing their dreams. “The important thing is to find what you want, then understand what you should do to achieve this goal in the future, and then work firmly towards the goal. ”
Perhaps the road ahead we can see at this moment is not very far-term, but always look at yourself, keep your eyes on where you want to go, and take every step steadily, and good things will come to you sometime in the future.
