Southeast University in Nanjing released big data on the 2024 freshman class on August 25. Among the freshmen, 22 were born after 2007. Tan Ruiqi, a freshman at Wu Chien-Shiung College who was born in April 2010, became the school's first "post-10" student.
Tan Ruiqi is from Fushun City, Liaoning Province. According to reports, he studied in primary school for three years, went directly to the second grade of junior high school, studied in high school for two years, and participated in the selection of young students of Dongda University in the second grade of high school. He said that his hobbies are chess and cards, and programming, and his "secret to learning" is mainly self-study.
According to the official WeChat account of Southeast University Wu Jianxiong College, Tan Ruiqi has basically mastered five programming languages, can use English fluently, and has an IELTS score of 8.
"I knew Chinese characters when I was one and a half years old - my mother noticed that I was stunned when I read the subtitles. My parents gradually found that I seemed smart, so they bought me a lot of books, and I also loved reading very much." He said in an interview that he once saw an interview program with Professor Yun Ying of Southeast University by chance, and was deeply touched by her suggestion of "learning English as early as possible and starting research as early as possible". "I believe I have the ability to enter university 'as early as possible', learn more and learn efficiently. The interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary training of Southeast University is very attractive. This is an effective way to learn more knowledge in a limited time."
What unique perspectives and advantages does your age bring? Tan Ruiqi said that as long as you maintain your love and focus on learning, you can have learning advantages at any age. The advantage of being young may be that you can devote yourself to learning without distraction. Although you may appear a little dull, your learning efficiency may be very high. You may be more energetic and creative, more receptive to new things, and at the same time, you will humbly ask seniors for advice to accelerate your growth.
According to a previous report by China Youth Daily, Tsinghua University welcomed more than 3,800 new undergraduate students this year. The youngest was 13 years old, born in December 2010, and was admitted to Qiuzhen College through the Qiu Chengtong Mathematical Sciences Leadership Program.
The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) checked the data of some universities and found that among the undergraduate freshmen of Nanjing University in 2024, the oldest was born in 1989 and the youngest was born in 2009, and they both realized their dream of studying on the same campus with a 20-year age difference. Nankai University admitted more than 4,000 undergraduates this year, more than half of whom were born in 2006, and the youngest was born in 2009. Among the undergraduate freshmen of North China University of Technology and Xiangtan University, the youngest were also born in 2009.
