Microsoft's entrance and memory

Another year of entrance, each of the two or three days is the most affect people at all times, because the heartstrings almost everyone and the college entrance examination inextricably linked.

Today, we have invited three of Microsoft Researcher recalls the unforgettable story of college entrance examination, they all have their own branded ', but starting from the entrance, they began life more exciting journey. Sincerely wish all candidates can easily pass the entrance examination, and look forward to future hear your wonderful stories.

I met a good teacher

— The technology innovation centre Project Director field Johnson 1977 participated in the college entrance examination

I am 8 years old with my parents to Ningxia rural life accept pinxiazhongnong re-education.

In the next five years, in addition to the parents in the labor home teach me some knowledge, never had much formal education. 13-year-old I return with their parents, yinchuan city at home in the vicinity of the school on the junior high school, which began a career of studying ice or me. In 1976, the year that just ended the cultural revolution, I graduated from junior high school, when my father insisted I read the best high schools across the city, but after ten years of turmoil, the best high school where to look. By laosanjie were nosed, my father decided to let me in yinchuan II on, but other parents rarely to him so that his children to go on a trip away from home for 2 hours, then graduated package distribution, who also care about the school is good or bad, only drawing closer, the better. Thus, in order to catch a train to go to school in a unit in the direction of the bus, I than students get up ahead of 2 hours, every day of the first sitting in the classroom, in addition to write Blackboard or winter health good furnace, vacant one hour I basically used to learning. As family composition, relative to my political manifestation, my learning attitude and performance has been good, teachers like me.

During the second semester, restore messages let exam for my family and teacher excited, they encouraged me to try.

My head teacher Chen Yi is a graduate of East China Normal University, is a provincial city, a few talks one normal graduated teacher. In order to meet the entrance, she was asked to set up a surprise remedial classes. Because the teacher trust, I had the honour to be the one of the students in the class. The restored entrance what, no one knows, Chen as old college, fortunately saved her when dealing with the examination of the topic, so she uses pastels turn carved one paper out to us to do, but then the entrance so hard to speak in class than usual deep. In again and again make topic, we again turn to the teacher.

My father always told me: "for you, the college entrance examination, life is only once.

" In the last 3 months, I'm not counting days to learn, every day at 4, 5 point began sleeping, and feel every time they travel in the sea, and the only way to make me feel at ease. Entrance examination for the two days, I remember that there is a circuit of physics question wrong, but I check the time that the answer to the original to do mistakes, because I feel the first answer is less like a correct answer. Can results precisely the answer. I have always wanted to learn electronic engineering, Tsinghua University, I was furnished by the Department of electronic engineering. The problem of errors, pull down my physics students, study electronic engineering dream is broken. Good in math minutes on very high, and was admitted to a University, then entered the University in the province of one of four students.

The difference with the very b

est 6 points

— The Visual Computing Group senior fellow at the mayi 1990 participated in the college entrance examination

I am a typical "single good student" — well, the culture of sports results, is also not disciplinary taishou.

My alma mater is Suining city high school senior year I every time the big test is the first full year. However, my sports then boosted even as physical sub-par so far have not received a formal high school diploma. So I've never been a similar, but has been a member of the study. Teachers and parents took me to nothing.

Senior year, because of the learning results are good, have also won national mathematics and Physics Olympiad competition first prize, should be able to directly sponsor College.

Then the teacher told me should own exam once, the first for the province. May be on my ability to test more confidence now, so let the opportunity pass to another student. There, I wonder if this student is also grateful to me.

1990 college entrance examination, not as comprehensive liberal arts, science, as in health science, we will examine the seven doors, physical, chemical, biological, political, are separate from the examination.

Now want to come, including the time, I put the entrance examination as many examination of not feeling particularly tense, mainly is the Prince's sake. I am very clear language has always been its "short", each time wandering pass line edge (many years later, only to find language and writing skills are important). Therefore, at that time I didn'tThere are too many good wishes in the college entrance examination in languages also belong to the normal play, got 62 points (out of 120). Only makes me regret that as my own the most powerful branch of mathematics that should play in that only got 105 min (out of 120) than I usually study for simulate average nearly very less. I never imagined the worst high school mathematics score was once occurred in the college entrance examination. On the contrary, the usual general physical and chemical research of the province's down first. As a result, this is a bit mad and a little lucky exam last out total 601, distance from a provincial science first difference six minutes, at that time the first million candidates in Sichuan province. Results also presentable, but failed to achieve the desired objectives, count white got.

A three-day test, is about to fill volunteer gufen.

Then, I most want to fill in the Mathematics Department of Peking University. But my mother was strongly opposed to think math "useless," and hope that I went to study medicine. But I myself do not have much interest in medicine — may I subconscious fear of injections. Later, my father, a compromise proposal and selection of professional, eventually I fill a unique volunteer — Automation Department of Tsinghua University, and refused to obey. Now, I spent all day long and mathematics. Found math will not be useless, but very useful. My mother has been because I haven't studied medicine and brood.

Many years have passed, and then look back at the original entrance.

It is difficult to understand why people so pay attention to it. My everything seemed determined by teachers and parents. He suffers from the delusion of it. Now that I think that down some fear. For their own original no-minded and fear. College entrance examination, although not a turning point in my life, but decided to up my life.

A setback is nothing

-Natural language Computing Group interns songxin Ying 2002 college entrance examination

I was participating in the college entrance examination in 2002.

A full seven years from now. Early entrance subject estimates would not do, but the college entrance examination process for me is always so unforgettable.

In 2002, the college entrance examination in Heilongjiang province is 150 minutes outside the yushu, comprehensive science 300, total 750 minutes, sit back and then fill out the volunteer gufen.

At that time, if the total score to 650 meters, there is hope that pass the Tsinghua University. Entrance examination of the previous mapping test, my results are very good, strong comprehensive science research is too 295 points. Can the real entrance examination room, my life has made lizong size exam in most serious error: Physics topics for the last big question should the Tribunal wrong, third paragraph press triangle hanging up the rope and topic requirements burned after the left a root for system status, but I am as a burnt interlocutory that root, 27 minutes lost in vain. You can imagine when you sit on the second day to get up early to prepare and students to play, but the students are printed on answers found their own this fatal mistake, my mood is much worse ... About 650 gufen results, are on the borderline. Hesitated for a long time, or select the report or to the North, because once the impact to a round of childhood dreams. Final results: 146, languages, mathematics, English, 132 126, science comprehensive only 249, total 653, Peking University admission line or low 5 points. Fortunately, Harbin Institute of technology received a second volunteer, I came to Harbin Institute of technology, access to experimental College undergraduate studies completed and had the privilege to serve as joint training of students, came to Microsoft Research Asia for doctoral stage of learning.

Think about seven years ago in college entrance examination, although with deep regret that, despite the efforts of the high school and proud, after all, success is only a slight difference.

But after all these years, I think when I selectthe Harbin Institute of technology, it's good reading. Every success in life is not possible, a time of frustration does not represent the day would fall down. As long as the same efforts to forge ahead, no matter where, will realize the value of life. Now put this experience to write down and share with their peers.
