In Tsinghua University, there is a saying that half of the country's talent is in our Tsinghua, but half of the talent in Tsinghua is in the Yao class. Ordinary people like us who have not been admitted to Tsinghua, can not help but feel puzzled, what is this Yao Ban? Why is it so highly regarded among Tsinghua students? Originally, the so-called Yao class is by the American Academy of Sciences Yao Zhizhi experimental class set up in Tsinghua, the Yao Zhizhi academician in the United States to learn the top of the computer technology, the idea is to go back to our own country to open such an experimental class, to our country to train and the international standards of computer technology talents.
The name of the Tsinghua Yao Class is actually the Tsinghua Academy Computer Science Experimental Class. Its creator, academician Yao Zhizhi, is the only one of all Chinese computer scientists in the world who has won the Turing Award. Perhaps readers don't know what the Turing Award is. Simply put, the Turing Award is the Nobel Prize of the computer world. Due to the invitation of his good friend Academician Yang Zhenning, Academician Yao Zhizhi resigned from his tenured professorship at Princeton University when he was 57 years old, and returned to his motherland's embrace, coming to Tsinghua University to teach. Because of Academician Yao Zhizhi's hard work, in 2018, Tsinghua finally surpassed MIT and reached the world's top of the global computer science program.
Tsinghua Yao class recruits students basically recruit the top few in science in each province, and most of the rest are some guaranteed transfers, or students recruited independently by Tsinghua Yao class, which are students who have gotten the first and second runner-ups in national or international information technology competitions. Like the list of freshmen in Tsinghua Yao Class 2018, 37 of them are directly guaranteed admission, while among the rest, two of them are provincial top students. It seems that the saying "half of the talent in Tsinghua is in Yao class" is not bragging.
Students who have graduated from such a prestigious class naturally have immeasurable prospects for the future. Like a company called Kuangshi Technology, which was founded by three students from the Yao class at Tsinghua University, the company was initially founded as a registered trademark of the company. This company was initially established, the registered capital is only a mere 30,000 dollars, but from 2011 to 2020, but just nine years, this company after D financing, the current market value has reached 4 billion dollars. In addition to Kuangshi technology, other graduates of Yao class in the business world have also made considerable achievements, in addition to computer technology, these graduates of Yao class also dabbled in unmanned, blockchain and medical equipment industry.
There have been 340 students in Tsinghua's Yao class in its 11 sessions, and more than 200 of those 340 have gone on to further study in places like Hong Kong and foreign countries, while 41 are now working at major computer companies such as Google, Facebook and NetEase. In addition, there are more than 10 graduates have entered some of the leading international. Universities, such as Stanford University, Princeton University, the University of Hong Kong and so on. These Tsinghua Yao class students are really very good, the only thing that makes people feel a little bit sorry is that it seems that most of these students have chosen to go to foreign countries to study or work, although the choice to study and work there is the freedom of people, but I still hope that these are the country's hard work to cultivate out of the people, and finally be able to go back to our motherland for the country to serve.
