Gu Yuxiu's name is still a little rusty. Of course, he is not as famous as Wen Yiduo and Liang Shiqiu. I haven't heard of it before. But gradually, I realized what a big mistake this was. If what kind of talents have been trained in Tsinghua campus in the past century, Gu Yuxiu is undoubtedly the first. Nobody can beat it.

Gu Yuxiu

Gu Yuxiu's novel Lan Zhi and Jasmine is the fourth vernacular novella in modern China literature after Lu Xun's True Story of Ah Q. He wrote many historical plays in the first two years after he arrived in America. Some of these plays are still staged in Boston, causing a sensation. This is a little unbelievable.

You know, he majored in electrical engineering at MIT, and it took him four and a half years to get all the degrees from undergraduate to doctoral, and he invented the solution of quadratic equation (at the age of 23) and Gu's variable (at the age of 26), which became the cornerstone of his future Nobel Prize in electrical engineering-Lamb Prize.
