During this period, college entrance examination admission notices have been delivered to the families of college entrance examination candidates. Although Huaer Songjiang High School, which was founded only two years ago, has no college entrance examination graduating class this year, its first graduate has already been born. Feng Zixin, a student in Class 2 (4) of the school, recently received an admission notice from the University of Science and Technology of China. He will enter the Innovation Experimental Class of the Junior Class College of USTC and start his college life in advance.

The Youth Class and Innovation Pilot Class of the University of Science and Technology of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Youth Innovation Class") is oriented towards basic disciplines and cutting-edge interdisciplinary disciplines, cultivating world-class top scientists and first-class scientific and technological leaders who care about the country. According to the list of qualified students for the Youth Innovation Class in 2024 announced on the official website of the University of Science and Technology of China, a total of 1,945 people have obtained grade qualifications, including 319 in Grade A, 169 in Grade B, and 1,457 in Grade C. After more than three months of preliminary review, preliminary examination, re-examination and college entrance examination, Feng Zixin was shortlisted and identified as "Grade A" qualified, and successfully entered the Innovation Pilot Class.

Feng Zixin attributed her success in the selection of the "Young Entrepreneurs Class" to her interest, perseverance and environment. She studied at Shanghai International Studies University Songwai School in elementary and junior high school. She has been curious about the mysterious and profound world of mathematics and the unknown field of physics since she was a child. In the impression of her junior high school teacher Yu Hongyan, Feng Zixin is a typical "science-minded" girl with strong logical thinking. Whether it is daily study or school activity rehearsal, she has a strong sense of time planning and efficiency.

After entering Huaer Songjiang, Feng Zixin was more comfortable thanks to the school's strong scientific and creative education atmosphere, diversified development direction and broad choice space. Knowing that she was interested in physics competitions, physics teacher Liu Jun carefully guided her, and the school also customized a special physics learning course for her. In her first and second years of high school, she also completed two projects, "The Optimal Arrangement of Rice Field Seats" and "Preparation and Performance Research of Corn Straw-based Wood Glass" under the guidance of mathematics teacher Zhao Jiangang and chemistry teacher Zhou Jinhe.

"Systematic research on scientific and innovative topics has led me to the door of scientific exploration and inspired my infinite yearning for scientific research." Feng Zixin believes that every step, from starting a topic, designing experiments, completing experiments, summarizing data, optimizing experiments, and writing papers, is full of challenges. However, with a deeper understanding of the knowledge in related fields and the continuous advancement of experiments, she gradually overcame the difficulties, which also further stimulated her desire for knowledge and exploration. After entering USTC, she will continue to study hard and continue to deepen and improve in the study of basic disciplines.

It is reported that Huaer Songjiang is a new school established by the People's Government of Songjiang District and East China Normal University. The school will open in September 2022 with a first batch of 80 students. The school adheres to the educational philosophy of the Second Affiliated High School of East China Normal University "pursuing excellence and cultivating people who create the future", focusing on science and technology innovation education, optimizing and implementing the early training support system for innovative talents, and is committed to cultivating talents in various fields in the future who are "responsible, able to choose, able to innovate, and understand life". Although the school was founded only two years ago, it has repeatedly won outstanding results in the three major fields of science and technology innovation competitions, subject Olympiads, and humanities innovation competitions, including more than 190 municipal awards, 24 national awards, and 8 international awards.
