邵远川

毕业高中：

南京市第二十九中学

本科专业：化学工程

录取院校及专业：宾夕法尼亚大学，哥伦比亚大学，杜克大学，布朗大学

获得奖项：广以学业优秀奖学金（2019-2021）、广以常务副校长嘉许名单（2019-2021）

邵远川是广以2018级化学工程专业本科生，在他身上，“专业第一”“修读双专业的学霸”光环耀眼夺目。而在四年前，他却曾遭遇考场失意：高考发挥失常，“压线”进入广以。

邵远川坚信高考不是人生的终点。通过不懈努力，他完成蜕变，成为专业第一。而在申研期间，他接连收到宾夕法尼亚大学、哥伦比亚大学、杜克大学、布朗大学等世界著名高校的offer。从高考失利到斩获名校研究生offer，邵远川在广以完成了逆袭，成功打了一场漂亮的翻身仗。

学习是场马拉松，

坚持才是最大的挑战

在广以修读双学位并取得专业第一有多难？

“我的大学过得像‘高四’。”邵远川笑着回答了这个问题。

从科研队伍到学生培养，广以一以贯之的是跨学科的优势。为培养具有较强适应性和可塑性的高级复合型人才，学校为有志于进行跨学科学习的学生提供攻读双学位的机会，学生将获得以色列理工学院两个专业的联合学位。双学位培养方案一经推出便广受学生追捧。邵远川介绍，特别是开设了热门基础学科“数学与计算机”专业之后，超过40名同学报名了双专业学习。

然而要成功取得双学位并不简单。修读双专业意味着需要同时参加两个专业的课程与考试，繁重的学习压力把邵远川的日程表挤得满满当当：白天上课，晚上也上课，只剩下周末的时间用来复习和消化。最多的时候，他在半个学期内修读了10门课程，“大家看我似乎还比较轻松，但真是一把鼻涕一把泪。”回望这段学习经历，邵远川无限感慨。但这一切他都咬咬牙坚持下来了。

三年过去，当初报名的几十名学生只剩下不足十人仍在坚持，而邵远川正是其中的一名。据了解，他还将是广以开设双专业学习以来，首位在四年内取得双学位的学生。

不经一番寒彻骨，怎得梅花扑鼻香

“高考没考好，这口气憋了大学四年。”

聊起这份自律背后的原因，邵远川的回答有些令人惊讶。他出生于书香门第，从小养成了优秀的学习习惯，但高考让他狠狠地摔了一跤。“必须想办法证明自己。”就这样，邵远川有些“赌气”地开启了在广以的大学生活。

在一些人看来，高中三年的寒窗苦读结束，迎来的是“自由”“解放”的大学生活，但邵远川的大学生活在旁人看来或许有些无趣：“我一般不怎么参加社交活动和娱乐活动，课余时间都用来看书了。”他常常给自己施压，提醒自己“不要沉沦”，认真对待每一次作业、每一场考试、每一门课程，不断地梳理复盘，形成了自己牢固的知识框架。

更让邵远川感到惊喜的是广以浓厚的学术氛围和优渥的师资力量。

从讲授课、习题课到分组实验课，具有丰富教学经验的教授们结合自己的产学研经验精心授课，为广以学生们强化基础，以“问题驱动”培养学生自我思考、自主探究的能力。邵远川的爸爸看到教授为他们留下的作业时不禁感叹，广以拥有一支兼具科研水平和教学能力的队伍，身体力行地带领学生走在国际科技的前沿。

最终，邵远川的付出得到了回报：他不仅连续三年获得奖学金，更在毕业季收获了世界顶尖大学的offer。在他看来，在广以就读的收获远远超出预期，真正做到了学有所得，学有所成。

天道酬勤，心怀远方。邵远川用奋斗绘就青春底色，以勤奋成就光荣之路。他也将从广以出发，前往更远的世界实现自己的理想。

Time flies and the second cohort of students are going to graduate from Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) this year. From this article, we will present a series of interviews with the graduates from the Class of 2022, to show their stories at GTIIT in the past four years.

Here is the story of Shao Yuanchuan, a student in the Chemical Engineering Program.

Shao Yuanchuan

High School:

Nanjing No.29 High School

Program: Chemical Engineering

Receive Offers From: University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Duke University, Brown University

Honors and awards: Academic Excellence Scholarship (2019-2021), Vice chancellor's list (2019-2021)

Shao Yuanchuan, an excellent GTIIT Chemistry Engineering student from the 2018 cohort, ranks first in the program while pursuing a dual degree. However, the "successful boy" once failed – he played below par in the college entrance exam four years ago.

Shao was not trapped by the past failure. He kept going on and became the top in his program. With outstanding academic performance, he received offers from the most prestigious universities including University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Duke University and Brown University. Here is Shao's story, a story about a counterattack.

Learning is a marathon,

not a sprint

To come out on top, Shao lived a stressful life just like how he prepared for Gaokao in the high school.

He signed up for a dual degree offered by GTIIT, which aims at nurturing interdisciplinary study and research. Students are exposed to curricula combining course-work in cross subjects, leading to a joint degree from both programs.

Soon after the opening of the popular program Mathematics with Computer Science, over 40 students participated in the joint program, but not all of them can undergo the test — you need the strong willpower, and of course, the mastery of knowledge.

The dual degree doubles the workload. Taking courses and revising the materials took up nearly all of Shao's time. "Once I took 10 courses in only half a semester. That was not an easy time for me," Shao added, "but I made it."

Three years have passed, there are no more than 10 students who are still taking the "test", and Shao will be the first one of them to pass. He will also be the first GTIIT student to get a dual degree in four years.

No Cross, No Crown

"Every time I become too loose and ineffective, I will remind myself of the regrets and sorrows four years ago," said Shao. This is the way how he keeps moving on.

"I barely go to parties or other activities. People might think I am a nerd," Shao told us, "I just want to spend time reading books."

GTIIT will never let studious students down. Shao was surprised by the academic atmosphere as well as the strong faculty team in GTIIT. 

Professors with rich experience in teaching and industries help strengthen students' mathematical and scientific foundations as well as their questioning skills by incorporating the "problem-driven" elements in lectures, tutorials and labs. Shao's parents were astonished by their son's homework, for they realized that GTIIT's faculty team is equipped with both teaching and researching abilities, and is training the students to be the best ones.

Shao's efforts paid off. He won not only the scholarships, but also offers from world's top universities. He thinks what he harvested in GTIIT is far beyond expectation. From GTIIT to the world, the young man will set out for the next trip to chase his dream.
