Chapter 349 Willow Leaf Blind Date (3)
Liu Ye thought, this is how my life will be anyway. If I don’t meet the right one, I won’t just not get married, right?
However, this big boy in front of her, a science and engineering man with a talent for computer software, did not seem to make Liu Ye hate or dislike him!
On the contrary, there was something about him that attracted her, causing her to develop an inexplicable fondness for this man...
"Really? Then where did we meet?" Liu Ye smiled.
"How about you give me a detailed introduction to your study experience. Didn't you study philosophy at Yale University? We are alumni. I studied for my master's degree at Yale." Liu Ye.
"Oh, I see. Well, I'll sort out my learning experience..." Jin Song began to narrate in detail.
It turns out that Jin Song is also from Huacheng.
He was born in 1983.
When my parents were young, they were educated youth and participated in the "Up to the Countryside" movement, where they worked in the countryside for several years.
In 1978, the national college entrance examination was reinstated. They took the exam together and were fortunate to be admitted to university. Due to their excellent academic performance, after graduating from undergraduate studies, they continued to pursue master's degrees. They then both stayed at the university and became teachers. Now, both are academic leaders, doctoral supervisors, and renowned scholars.
However, in their family, the liberal arts and science majors are reversed.
Jin Song's father, who was always inclined towards literature, chose philosophy as his major in the college entrance examination and later studied all the way to become a philosophy professor.
Jin Song's mother preferred mathematics, physics and chemistry. She chose computer science as her major in the college entrance examination and became an expert in the computer field throughout her studies.
Therefore, when Jin Song graduated from high school and filled out his college application, he had a headache for a while.
His father wanted him to major in philosophy, while his mother wanted him to study computer science, believing that boys should pursue innovation in science and engineering. After a long debate, Jin Song struck a balance: he'd study philosophy for his undergraduate degree and computer science for his master's. As for his doctorate, it all depended on his interests.
"But why didn't you choose to study philosophy in China for your undergraduate studies? Most people study for their undergraduate degree in China first, and then go abroad for a master's degree. You are different from most people." Liu Ye asked.
"Well, it's because one of my father's classmates is a professor at Yale, specializing in philosophy. There were no boys in his family, so he raised me as his godson. Once he came back to China, he repeatedly asked me to study abroad for my undergraduate degree, hoping that I could become his disciple... Of course, I also worked very hard to get into Yale's undergraduate philosophy program." Jin Song.
"But after graduating from college, why don't you continue studying at Yale?" Liu Ye asked.
"Alas, it was my mother's coercion. She wanted me to fulfill my promise and study her major! But in a foreign country, I don't have the ability to switch from liberal arts to science and engineering... So, I had to take the exam for a computer major in a domestic university and study for a master's degree." Jin Song.
"Your parents really make things difficult for you. Why should they put all their ideals on you and let you fulfill them?" After hearing this, Liu Ye didn't quite understand Jin Song's choice.
"First, the combination of arts and sciences is the most effective way to learn and develop a wide brain capacity. Aren't the so-called T-shaped talents like me? The combination of arts and sciences, the integration of arts and sciences, allowing the essence of social sciences and natural sciences to blend with each other in the brain, isn't this a very effective way to develop the brain?" Jin Song said confidently.
