一 苏州的童年
二 上海机械学院
February 27th, 1978, the first day of a new school term started in the 3rd middle school of Suzhou (苏州市第三中学). It was kind of sad for me, because I took the college entrance examination as one of the only two students allowed to in my grade. Stories of people receiving admission letters have been circling around. It was a huge deal as colleges in China had closed their doors do high school students for over ten years since the Culture Revolution. Mom was worried that her family background, being the daughter of a landlord, could have affected my admission. Now that I'm still sitting at my desk in my middle school.
Half way through the morning classes, my physics teacher walked in through the door and stopped the class. He pulled out a piece of paper and started to read. It was a strange thing, for things like that are normally for arresting real bad kids who were inolved in gang fights with knives. But this time it turned out to be admission letter for me to 上海机械学院, an almost unknown college in Shanghai.
Before taking the college entrance examination, I had to write down schools I would like to apply. I was quite good with math in school, actually the best in math in whole school since elementary school. My nickname in the first middle school I attended was 袁罗庚, after 华罗庚, the most famous mathematian in China. As I really wanted to be a mathematian, so I wrote down mathmatics departments of three best universites in China as my choices: 复旦大学, 南京大学, and 北京大学. They are sorted according to distances from Suzhou. To make sure they will not assign me to some small college at the far corners of China, I checked the box which saided I would not accept any other assignment. Those were the decisions I made with my father, but before actually submitting the form, I changed my last choice to 上海机械学院 before consulting my father again.
Shortly after that, I packed up and took a train to Shanghai, enrolled in 上海机械学院 自动化系 工业电子自动化专业.
