Kai-fu Lee's mother was old and gave birth to him at the age of 40. The book describes that mothers of that age will give their children a lot of tolerance and understanding. Therefore, Kai-fu Lee's childhood growth environment is very relaxed. However, unlike many parents' doting, his mother is also very strict with Kai-fu Lee. On the premise that Kai-Fu Lee guaranteed his achievements, he was given great freedom. Even today, this is quite enlightened. However, the resumption of education in the United States made him make a qualitative leap. From the beginning of overcoming language barriers to the later display of mathematical talent, every point is bathed in American education. When he slowly began to integrate with local children, his traditional China thought gradually changed and began to integrate with western elements.

Among them, the most important ones are "creativity" and "teamwork". These two items are very important in American culture. Teamwork tries to start a business by playing practical jokes with his best friend, and innovation is slowly cultivated in the process of learning and thinking. These two articles laid a good foundation for his future development. I feel deeply about the "teamwork" between them. At home, the slogan of unity has never stopped, but there is really too little division of labor and cooperation in practical work and study. Most of us are more accustomed to going it alone, and going it alone just makes us lose many opportunities to communicate with each other. And communication can spark between different ideas, which often contains a lot of energy.

I disagree with you, but I support you. This is what Kai-fu Lee's doctoral supervisor said to him when he disagreed with Kai-fu Lee. This not only shocked Li Kaifu, but also made me unbelievable, even a little unimaginable. Imagine that we will spend time, energy and money to support our opponents? However, such a thing happened in the United States and happened to Kai-fu Lee. It is this respect for science that makes many innovations survive and become truth. Ask yourself, when we meet someone who is lower than ourselves and less experienced, will we question him for his lack of experience or subjective ideas or directly oppose him? I think it's really hard. I can't guarantee that I will be as broad-minded as Li Kaifu's mentor after reading the book, but at least now, I will have such consciousness. The next time a junior asks me what I think of their ideas, even if I think this activity or idea is so unrealistic, I won't just say "no". Because when we say no, it is often our experience that works. Moreover, experience is not truth after all, and mistakes will still be made.

I just read this article recently. I think it is very good advice for a student who has just entered or is about to enter the university. University is not what we call a paradise, but a place to hone one's will. It is a small society, from which we can see part of the truth of society. The real significance of university education is the process from passive learning to active learning, learning to think independently and having dialectical thinking. In other words, teacher Kaifu mentioned critical thinking, learning to be independent, making friends worthy of you, and learning from Kaifu's doctoral tutor when dealing with people. In a word, it needs an open-minded person to do it, be responsible for the family and plan life in advance. I wish you success in your studies! I wish you a bright future!
