Interview with Wang Xuan: Young people should look for fanatical pursuit of goals


"Chinese Youth" Interview with Wang Xuan: Young people look for goals, we must fanatical pursuit

Wang Xuan, Vice Chairman, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Engineering, Third World Academy of Sciences, Beijing University Founder Holdings Limited's chief scientific adviser. As the inventor of Chinese laser typesetting system, he promoted the second revolution in printing technology in China, known as the "modern Bi Sheng"; as young people to mentor, he loved only care only, legendary. When I asked him: as a technology leader, your life goals? He said: fanatical pursuit, spotted the target, and never look back.

Live for others is the value of life
Reporter: March 2002, awarded in recognition of your country's highest award, Peking University, held a technology specifically for your awards ceremony. At the meeting, talk to you about your dream life in the 10; Next, they talk about your "good concept." It is your "good view" more people infected.

Wang Xuan: That one award, reminds me of when I was little. That year, I was 10 years old. Day, the teacher announced to carry out a selection of different activities with the past that they have to elect a moral good, we like the students, an overwhelming majority of the votes I received this honor. This honor is informal, I never told her father she has won this award. 50 years later, again in retrospect, realized that the honor of my life, how important. Experience tells me: a man wants to be successful, he must first be a good person. "Willing to benefit others instead of themselves," the vast majority of people, including myself, simply can not do. I agree with Mr. Ji on the "good" standard: to consider to consider themselves a little more than others is a good person. However, I think, this standard can be further reduced that to consider as many others and consider their own is good.

I often think that a person, a good man, he is living, if fighting for the interests of society, then, his life is interesting life. Einstein also said this is the case: people only lived for others, it is valuable. I agree with him. Whenever successful people, most have this quality. Their interest to the community, in order to live a valuable, always, feverishly to pursue.

Reporter: Since when you started this fanatical?

Wang Xuan: hardware and software from engaging in research projects from the development of laser photo-typesetting, the start of this pursuit. For laser typesetting, its value, its future and the possible impact of China's printing industry revolution that brought fundamental outlook, which I was captivated. Founder talk about today, people will say, "both names, but also beneficial." However, people do not understand how difficult that time! In a very long time, I have a kind of "upstream" feeling, I almost gave up all the holidays, a very tight physical and mental exhaustion, but also ordinary people would not enjoy the fun. For example, from 1987 to 1992, the Wherever he went, I first look at the streets of the newspaper and those who use our beautiful laser typesetting system exhaust layout, the fun is indescribable.

November 1990, I received the Tan Kah Kee Science Prize technology. Comrade Lee and Li together for us giving out awards. I asked Lee: Did you expect to receive the Nobel Prize? Lee said: "never thought." Even his colleagues with his mother that he could award, he thought it was nonsense. Winning the day, he is an academic report, he was an academic report, the news of his award-winning news broadcast. After completing the report, people have stepped forward to congratulate him, then he thought it was well reported for the sake of it.

I think, a successful scientist, his initial motivation is not what you want to grab a prize, or what kind of fame and wealth. The reason they feverishly to pursue, because the love and intent on exploring the unknown areas of the reason.

Reporter: For the Ming Heli, you have had such a description, you say: Ancient Chinese saying goes, sergeant forgot to name, fame completely forgotten; Sergeant Liming, the achievements of the names on their own stand up; Corporal stolen name , its impossible to steal other people's. You say you can not do Sergeant, because the point can not forget the name, but will not name to Independence-away theft.

Wang Xuan: I think I have now is not a out of society, from the enterprise, specializing in basic research scientists, and therefore can not be as indifferent to fame and fortune as Qian. That year, the British Queen to visit China, please Qian attended the banquet. Qian not. His reason was "not the way me and her people." My situation is different, my work with a business-related, business and out of a fellow, won a top award, the integrity of the enterprise is beneficial. Therefore, I can not forget the name as Mr Qian as the point.

A person should be self-confident and conceited, persistent but not rigid
Reporter: As the inventor of Chinese laser typesetting system, you push the second revolution in printing technology in China, known as the "modern Bi Sheng"; 10 years, you have been winning: UNESCO Science Prize, Tan technical sciences Awards, Ho Leung Ho Lee Science and Technology Progress Award, the Hong Kong Chiang Technology Achievement Award ... ... Science is the first productive force in this era, you become a perceived "knowledge hero." With your eyes, successful people should have what kind of literacy?

Wang Xuan: self-confident and conceited, persistent but not rigid. What is confidence? Believe in themselves. Looking back nearly 30 years of hard course, we always struggle with the difficulties for the development, use of words is a near escape. However, in 1995, Founder PC or established their own brand, set up its own advanced management system, and then after years of struggle, and eventually became the PC maker's second child. Why? Because we are confident. What is ego? Conceit is ignoring the reality that they can do anything. Attachment is a look for goals, to work tirelessly, enthusiastically to pursue, but not rigid, we must continue to develop to adapt to new changes. This again reminds me of the State Planning Commission in 1974, supported by a project. The project has a teacher is the technology leader, he has great determination to come up with the spirit of the Foolish Old Man said: I not done to my son, my son was not done to my grandchildren do. I have a thought: is over, so your son, grandson to do it as early as the demand for sub-world technological development, and is out of date, then the project died. So, to persistent, but not rigid.

A man of success, he still has the prowess of the insights and vision. In the scientific community, there was such a metaphor, so that the rabbit people, playing the rabbit people, people who pick up the rabbit. Indicate that the rabbit is the direction of the person who played the rabbit who is to carry out scientific and technological people who pick up the rabbit is to let technology in the market who can produce benefits. Therefore, a leader in scientific research positions, he should have such means the ability of rabbits and beat the rabbit.

A successful, he must have the ability to unite people
Q: Over the years, you've been stressed the unity and cooperation. You have said: China does not lack talented young people, but lack the spirit of unity and cooperation. You ask: Do the Chinese people by foreign employers only command? Can not command China, the Chinese people?

Wang Xuan: This is my question ten years ago. Now the situation has somewhat different. Ten years ago, the Chinese in the United States has used "under the Go" to describe the Japanese way of doing things, with "playing bridge" to describe the American style, with "mahjong" to describe some of the Chinese people Zuopai. "Go under" is the overall situation, to the overall interest and sacrifice the ultimate victory of the local pieces. Japanese companies or individuals often show solidarity outside the momentum, and even they are also looking for Japanese to travel overseas hotels to stay open, though sometimes more expensive, the traffic inconvenience. "Playing bridge" style is to work closely with each other for two other coalition, to fierce competition. "Mahjong" is alone, watching live at home, anti stay here at home, their own and can not, do not let other people and. This Zuopai obviously is not good, especially their own will not get results, do not let other people Success is seriously affected development.

Take this business of computer software design, the vast majority of good software is the outcome of collective creativity to make a creative contribution to the developer of the most important often is not just one, alone hardly high. The past 20 years, I have met many young people, academic or technical talented person is not uncommon, but full capacity or other quality of some of the weaknesses are more or less limited their development. Gorman and other famous psychologists pointed out the need to re-examine the traditional concept of IQ, because the decision whether a person will be successful in a number of factors, the intelligence is at best only 20%, while the remaining 80% of the factors, generous, self-confidence, determination and so can not be underestimated. Psychologists to the latter as "emotional business." They cite some examples, for example, they believe: the United States Bell Labs made remarkable achievements in many underlying causes, not in the laboratory scientists with high IQ, but the friendship between these first-rate scholar, a pleasant and effective cooperation, in other words, their "emotional business" more than ordinary people. We should promote team spirit, because, in today's technology, the good cooperation of scientists to gain a better chance of success.

Reporter: Speaking of teamwork, the psychologist Carl Jung lists a formula: I + We = Fully I, this is your's "good to see another team's base length is" some similarities.

Wang Xuan: yes ah. To explain this, I give you two examples. One is one of my students. We recognized his outstanding abilities, work quick and neat and reliable, but the "emotional business," poor, self-willed pride, and partner relationships often become a success. He later presided over a company to develop software, and when he found that the lower series of errors and pointed out that after the procedure, the lower to correct to point out his mistake, but deliberately creating another wrong. Why? Because of his poor relationship with colleagues reason. The software then quickly disappeared in the market.

Another example is one of my college classmates, grade point average, IQ is not prominent, but the "emotional business," well, he was generous, honest, treat people friendly. Freshman year, I slept in his upper berth, middle of the night to relieve himself a child I often stumbled step on his head, he always laugh. In the nuclear field, he struggled for more than 40 years, passing his sixtieth, and when on the Academy of Engineering.

Talked about team spirit, a person I respect most is the "two bombs founding father" Deng Jiaxian. Yang said in a memoir: "Deng Jiaxian is not one of the most compelling figure. And talk to him a few minutes to see that he is honest and pragmatic. He really frankly honest, never impressive. He did not narrow-minded children, life like the 'pure' character represents the word. people know he was not selfish, people absolutely believe him. "Deng Jiaxian I do not know, but I admire him. He's great is that: he not only talented, but also to make men more distinguished than his people to display their talents.

For young people to become this era of "knowledge heroes" to create conditions
Reporter: In 1993, you withdrew from the first line of research, this year you are 56 years of age. As a general concept, this is the prime of life. Why, you have decided to exit?

Wang Xuan: February 1993, I left the first line of the real design work, this year has been full years. While leaving the first line, but it has not been out of research. Let me make this choice is the Spring Festival in 1993 an incident. That year the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year the same as in previous years, I engaged in the design at home behind closed doors. Two weeks after the design is completed. Liu Zhihong Guowanchunjie happened to my students come back. He looked after me, said: "Wang, you design that does not work, IBM's PC, there is a bus line, you can detect the signal." Student's word, which means two weeks of my results become awkward design. He reminded, also reminds me of another thing two years ago, children as well as Liu Zhihong. In early 1991, the upcoming Founder 91 design, I suddenly found myself in dealing with graphics chip design that there are loopholes. Moment can not think of a solution, he gave the matter told the RIP group of three young men. Did not expect them to come up with countermeasures, because they did not participate in this chip design. But then a few days later, Liu Zhihong come up with a coup, avoided the mistakes.

These two things led me to seriously reflect on their own. Take me, I created two peaks in the hardware and software of 1964 (the year I am 27 years old) and the development of laser typesetting project in 1975 (the year I am 38 years old), that time I was a nobody. I often work in some of the surface will be better than I do "authority", but in fact little is known about the technical details of the person's interference. I own all these years, it seems to be a computer in the field of so-called "authority." But my mind clear: I see the technical information and documentation as more young people have been the first line of practice is not as young enriched. This emerging discipline in the computer field, if you do not grasp or are not familiar with important technical details are easy to commit "whim" wrong. I create the peak has passed. I should do what I can do now to help those who have talent, potential, not yet famous "little people", they need my support.

Reporter: Speaking of talented people. Thicket of your secretary, Ms. laugh when I walked in said to me: Wang Xuan, the teacher can talk about young people, on the talents of the thing, he will be very happy, because those are his "Baby" . Well, you talk about these "baby" it.

Wang Xuan: (laughs) Founder session per recruit staff, I asked the personnel department organize a roster, a time, I went to the departments where these people go and talk to them about their interests and expertise, and soon I will be able to name them one by one. I have a notebook, is designed to record conversations with employees, that is indeed one of my "baby."

I can tell you about our side is young. One is now a doctoral tutor of soup flag. That day, he accompanied the students to my house to consult something was I admitted him. Tom flag of good math, award-winning programming. Doing my graduate period, I found him particularly fascinated by technology, could not think of a question, would one want to think, until you find the answer; his programming and few mistakes. Now, who do technology-based, ZHOU Jin is responsible for market development of the eBook, plus the technical director of technology development is top-notch tension, this project is now doing very well. Computer software industry and other industries, the technical front-line people too bitter tired, but Tom thousand flag is 16 years. Such people, we should create better conditions for them.

Reporter: With talent, create the conditions for them, keep them, let them give full play to their own to show themselves, that is put before the side is an important issue.

Wang Xuan: yes ah. Some units have tried to dig our people, given the high salary than the Founder, but, they do not go. They think the side is such a team to better play their own.

Reporter: What should we, Founder With this attractive?

Wang Xuan: in order to create equality, harmony and good environment conducive to their development. Lee made a remark, he said that he is the most experience in the United States between people are equal, in other words, students against teachers. Qian mentor is an internationally renowned academic authority, once got into fierce arguments with him Qian, tutors are very angry, but later Qian think is right, give money to school the next day to climb up the third floor Sen apologize. In the Founder, we promote this equality, which is indispensable for a harmonious atmosphere of the environment.

As for the contemporary young talent, they have a common characteristic: there are certain requirements for living conditions, but up to a certain extent, the pursuit of money are not unlimited, so-called "money is not everything." However, low income, no shelter for housing, it is difficult for young people to "sacrifice" and therefore "no money is totally unacceptable to." We must create conditions for them so that they rely on knowledge and innovation to become a millionaire, become this era's "knowledge hero."
