When mentioning Wang Demin, I believe everyone will think of the Daqing Oilfield related to him and the "Wang Demin Star" named after him. Then, his handsome mixed-race appearance in his youth will emerge in their minds.
At the same time, we will also regret that he got close to full marks in the college entrance examination but failed to study at Tsinghua University and Peking University. After all, as far as every Chinese is concerned, Peking University and Tsinghua University, as the highest universities in my country, are places of fascination in the eyes of everyone, not to mention Wang Demin, who scored nearly full marks in the college entrance examination.
But at the same time, it is precisely because of the rejection of Peking University and Tsinghua University that the country has an expert in oil and gas field development engineering, which has made great progress and huge development in our country's oil field exploitation work. Next, let’s take a look at Wang Demin’s life journey to become an expert in oil and gas field development engineering.
The road of "growth and accumulation of strength"
I believe that for anyone, no success can be achieved by abandoning the accumulation of "knowledge". From the childhood of babbling to the adulthood of being able to think independently, we are constantly learning every moment, such as learning to walk, talk, eat, and learn scientific knowledge...
Therefore, we want to To achieve a certain degree of success, you must always learn and enrich yourself. Only with early accumulation can you create subsequent achievements. The reason why Wang Demin was able to achieve close to full marks in the college entrance examination and become an oil and gas field expert was naturally inseparable from his family education, as well as his own efforts and persistence.
First of all, Wang Demin’s achievements are inseparable from his family education. His father is the vice president of a hospital and his mother is a university teacher. Therefore, for parents, their education on Wang Demin is subtle and ubiquitous. When he was still a toddler learning to speak, his mother had already begun to teach him expression and reading in English.
Although this caused certain obstacles for Wang Demin to enter primary school to learn Chinese, at that time when English learning was extremely important, his excellent English expression skills also made it easier for him to learn Chinese in the future. brought advantages. Moreover, his mother's education also helped him develop good habits of reading and studying.
At the same time, Wang Demin’s achievements are also inseparable from his own persistence and hard work. Returning to the issue of Wang Demin being unable to study primary school courses in Chinese, when faced with this problem, Wang Demin did not choose to escape. Instead, he chose to accept the language challenge, actively worked hard to learn Chinese, and overcame the difficulty of learning Chinese.
Since then, Chinese has not been difficult for Wang Demin, and after understanding Chinese, his academic performance in middle school has also improved by leaps and bounds. Before taking the college entrance examination, his test scores were stable and among the best. Therefore, when filling out his application, he applied for Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Beijing Petroleum Institute.
Rejected by Tsinghua University and Peking University
That year, Wang Demin, who was about to take the college entrance examination, like all students who aspired to the highest universities in China, filled out the applications for Tsinghua University and Beijing University with full expectations and confidence. University aspirations and looking forward to the announcement of college entrance examination results. When Wang Demin got his college entrance examination scores that were close to full marks, he originally thought that he would definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
But no one expected that neither Tsinghua University nor Peking University would admit him with nearly perfect scores in the college entrance examination, and he was eventually admitted to Beijing Petroleum Institute. At this point, Wang Demin's yearning for Tsinghua University and Peking University can only come to an end.
Afterwards, some people speculated that the reason why Wang Demin was rejected by Tsinghua University and Peking University may be because he was a mixed race, so he received certain unfair treatment at the time, and was therefore rejected by Tsinghua University and Peking University. However, there is no relevant evidence to support this view, and its authenticity cannot be verified.
Fate dictates, and the fate of "oil" begins
No matter the reason why Wang Demin was rejected by Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is no longer important. The important thing is that although Wang Demin lost the opportunity to study at Tsinghua University and Peking University, he got the opportunity to study oil mining technology at Beijing Petroleum Institute, and his fate with "petroleum" began.
After entering the Beijing Petroleum Institute, Wang Demin has been studying with a serious and hard-working attitude, striving to learn the best in every subject.
Therefore, throughout his college studies, he not only received perfect marks in all subjects, but also won the title of model student in the school. When he graduated from college, he also received an invitation to stay in school.
But Wang Demin did not choose to stay in school in the end, but took the initiative to work in Daqing Oilfield, which was in greatest need of talents and technology at that time. Shortly after arriving at the unit, Wang Demin suddenly discovered that the oil well pressure calculation formula at that time had huge flaws, so he searched for information in various ways and shared the "Songliao Method" he summarized with the team.
For this reason, Wang Demin, who had just arrived to work in Daqing Oilfield, won the title of "Scientific Research Model" and was promoted to an engineer. Later, he developed other auxiliary oil field extraction technologies based on the "Songliao Method", which continuously increased the production of domestic oil fields and enabled China to have world-leading oil production technology at that time.
After that, Wang Demin continued to work on improving the high and stable production of oil field exploitation. During this period, Wang Demin has also become a chief engineer and has served as the "leader" of more than 200 scientific research projects. He has accumulated rich experience and developed scientific and effective methods for improving the oil recovery rate of my country's oil fields.
Until 2009, Wang Demin also won the "Science and Technology Achievement Award" from the Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation. When Wang Demin was 79 years old, with the approval of relevant state departments, an asteroid was named "Wang Demin Star" to commemorate his contribution to the development of China's oil exploration.
Today, Wang Demin is 83 years old. He has made countless contributions to my country’s oil field work throughout his life, won countless awards, and led countless scientific research projects, and his "fate" with oil is "It is destined to be with him for the rest of his life.
At the same time, Wang Demin’s contribution to the development of Daqing Oilfield will continue to play an indelible foundation and leading role in improving the mining level of my country’s oilfields, the profits of oilfields, and the sustainable development of oilfields. . Moreover, it will continue to provide valuable wealth to our country's future oil field exploration work.
Summary
Although Wang Demin was rejected by Peking University and Tsinghua University, he was not discouraged. Instead, he relied on his love for learning to combine himself with "petroleum". The fate played out to the end, and he became an oil and gas field development engineering expert praised by the whole country, allowing his story and name to remain forever in Chinese history.
For Wang Demin, there are regrets in his life, but he also benefits from regrets. If he had not been admitted to Beijing Petroleum Institute, what kind of job would he have done? What kind of person do you want to be? None of us know.
But what we know is that if he had not been admitted to Beijing Petroleum Institute, he would not have become an oil and gas field development engineering expert, nor would he have such a rich and meaningful life.
