12 year old prodigy enters university, how is life at 20?

(Dan Tri) - Tran Thu Am (born 2005) was once a name that covered Chinese media. When she was only 12 years old, she was accepted into the Medical School of Zhejiang University.

The journey of a prodigy

From a young age, Thu Am showed signs of being a prodigy. It took her only 2 years to complete primary school, then skipped a level to start secondary school at the age of 7.

In fact, her family did not pressure Thu Am to study at a higher level. On the contrary, Thu Am herself felt unsatisfied with the pace of her studies at school, so she searched for books and materials and studied on her own, considering it a hobby.

Thu Am soon found solving difficult problems a special joy. From a young age, she knew how to value time and was always conscious of using time effectively.

However, when she first entered middle school, Thu Am's grades were quite low. The 7-year-old girl was still too young to adapt to the learning environment of teenagers. Thu Am was even criticized by her classmates.

The girl did not respond to the provocations, but quietly went home to make a study plan to catch up with the school program.

Soon after she made a study plan to fill in the gaps in her knowledge, Shu Yin was among the top students in her grade. She continued to “skip” the curriculum. At the age of 9, Shu Yin applied to take the entrance exam to high school.

The process of self-study and the decision to skip the exam were made by Thu Am herself. This made her family and teachers feel worried, thinking that she was too impatient to show her ability.

During the preparation for the high school entrance exam, Thu Am studied a lot on her own. She frankly shared with her teachers: "I have finished preparing myself, I want to try my hand."

Finally, Shu Yin was able to take the 10th grade entrance exam. She was the 13th highest-scoring student in Zhanjiang Town and was admitted to the elite class of Zhanjiang No. 2 Middle School. From then on, Shu Yin officially became a name known to the Chinese public.

The higher Thu Am studied, the more she had to try to assert herself in classes full of students older than her.

In high school, Thu Am continued to be the youngest student in the class, but she became more confident in herself. Thu Am often took the initiative to ask questions in class and met with teachers for further explanation. It was her passion for learning that helped her quickly catch up with the high school curriculum.

Since she was little, Thu Am had a dream of becoming a doctor. After 3 years of high school, at the age of 12, Thu Am faced the university entrance exam, she felt anxious and pressured.

Meanwhile, her parents always encourage her: "If the results are not good, it's okay, you still have many years ahead to continue trying."

After passing the university entrance exam, Thu Am achieved her dream of being admitted to Zhejiang University's Medical School with an impressive score.

After passing the university entrance exam, Thu Am did not make her social media account public and did not accept interviews (Photo: Sina).

As the youngest student ever to enroll at Zhejiang University, Shu Yin continued to attract great attention. However, after becoming a medical student, Shu Yin suddenly found a way to “disappear” from the news flow.

Thu Am does not make her social media accounts public and does not accept interviews. Thu Am's university years were spent quietly, she wanted to be a normal student like any other.

However, some information about the educational path that Shu Yin pursued has been revealed to the Chinese media. Currently, at the age of 20, Shu Yin has completed her undergraduate program and continues to pursue her master's and doctorate in medicine. The direction that Shu Yin pursues is in-depth research on cancer treatment methods.

The tutors who taught and guided Thu Am in her research all rated her as intelligent, mature, highly motivated, and not arrogant.

She is not a “bookworm who only knows how to study”, nor does she chase after achievements or titles, but is a graduate student with a clear understanding of what she wants to pursue.

Now, Thu Am no longer wants many people to know about her hard work, nor does she want people to think she is too special.

For her, becoming a doctor, curing and saving people, and pursuing research activities are the guiding principles for all her actions. She wants to study, work, and research in silence, without being too persistent, without needing to be constantly reminded.

Shu Yin's quiet "disappearance" made the Chinese media and public admire her even more.
