"Boy Genius" Chiang dies and people think it is a great loss to us. I believe it is a waste that he just gone like this forever since he died before contribute anything to the world. The only thing he left is his name of being a genius, his great academic result. However, he haven't contribute anything to the world. Maybe too much of spot light on a person ain't a good thing. Too much of pressure and tension will get a person mentally ill. According to the news, he had skipped the normal education pathway and kept skipping level. I do believe that this decision had affected him, especially his mental. With the name of genius, he often being expected to be mature, be the best, where the pressure is on. Moreover, by skipping the ordinary education pathway, he might lose his friends. Being a genius, is lonely.
Why do i say so? I had experience once. Long time ago, Malaysia education had a exam which allow student who pass the exam to skip the 4th year and go to the 5th year. I had passed the exam and accepted to skip the 4th year. After that, people will look different on you, especially in my primary school, not much people get this offer, and i m the only one on my year accepted it. My old friends started to critic me, being a proud person. And at the same time, i had to make friends with my new classmates. What a terrible life it is! However, i'm glad that i found some good friends who willing to help me among my senior. They are now my buddy still~ Since i was a kid that time, wheneve people asked me, ' do u feel the pressure?' i would answer no. However, i know something is different. I would cried alone at night for no reason. Now i know, i was under tension n pressure plus being lonely.
Back to the topic, Chiang dies, his family are the one who feel the pain the most. However, their acts towards the media are really rude. If you like to stay on your own privacy, you can talk to the media politely don't u? You have your own idea, but the media has their own responsible too. What make me feel worse is they even beat up the photographer which is nearly 60 years old man. Being sad is not the reason for you to act like a 3 years old kid. Maybe even a 3 years old kid has a better EQ than u do. The lost of Chiang is not the media fault, the act of Chiang's family will only become the laughter of the others.
