Why Do Chinese Students Lack Creativity?
Sometimes, when I sat with my dorm mates, chatting with them, one of the most exasperating topics is that although we regard Chinese as a very intelligent nation, among those geniuses who solved the world's most difficult and confusing mathematical problems are French people, Germans, British people, Japanese, but NO Chinese. It is true that Chinese students often come first in the International Mathematics Competition. But among those young masters, how many will go on developing their talents? Very few. In fact, some of them only use this kind of competition as a stepping stone, which could make their way to top universities easier. And they will never want to touch a single mathematical figure again after their goal is achieved.Most of them seem to have reached their peeks in high school and before they could practically contribute to the world of mathe
matics.
Among the seventy years' history of the Fieldz Prize, the only winner born in China is Chou Tongcheng, who is now a professor in Harvard University. Once after Chou interviewed a candidate for a post in one of the most prestigious universities in China, he was astonished, "if a student behaves like this, I would not even give him a Master's Degree. It's not that I am pessimistic, the problems really exist."
Why should the reality be like this? I think the answer is rooted in our education system. After 12 years' education in China, the students are familiar with all kinds of question types likely to appear in the examination and mastered corresponding methods to answer these questions. That's why almost all prizes of those competitions are taken by Chinese. But where the Chinese education fails is how to empower the students with the ability to find proper problem solving methods by themselves.Those young masters spend most of their time doing vast quantities of exercises with their development of creative abilities neglected. They work like a computer with a pre installed program.They perform very well on the problems they have been programmed for. But if they meet something new, they just break down.

If we want to make our country a powerful nation, measures have to be taken to make our students more creative. The education system should be less pragmatic and more innovative,students should be developed individually rather than be molded into the same shape. And many good practices in western culture should be introduced. There is really a long way for us to go.The most urgent thing is, to start to reform immediately.

简 评
为何中国中学生能在国际奥赛上频频获奖，而科学界重大奖项的获奖名单中却不见中国人?为什么国际上对中国科研人员的评价如此低?这些问题引起了大学生们的热烈讨论。王佳技同学根据十几年学校教育的切身体会得出结论：问题的症结在于中国学生受应试教育所累，普遍缺乏创造力。题海训练把人脑变成了程序固定的电脑，教育体制的弊病导致学生思维的僵化。最后他大声疾呼：改革迫在眉睫!文章有着较强的现实意义。
文章开头以较大的篇幅描述了中国科学界和教育界的落后现状，几个实例很有力度，但面试一例应讲清应试者的欠缺之处。另外，第二部分分析有些单薄，造成文章结构有些头重脚轻。作者思路若能开阔些，结合学校的具体做法谈一谈教育体制的深层问题则会更好。
