The movie is call “Dark matter”. and you are right about the plot. The kid was __too creative__!!! his theory that the universe is not empty – those things we can not see doesn’t mean they are not there – they are dark matters.

Here’s what Tesla said about Edison:

He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene … His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labor.

@fcuk da lu ren
“During the cultural revolution, all the educated, literate, artistic people were killed, fled, or sent into the countryside. ”

Being killed is not the common case, the common case is to be sent to countryside, be humiliated, be treated as criminal etc. Some committed suicide, but it is also not what majority of them choose.

If you think those who were sent to countryside are still there, and mystically disappear from the scene of China since then, you owe yourself some time to read more about the modern history of China, and be sure to choose a good book.

Almost all of them were removed bad tags on them, get back to cities since Deng Xiaoping got power.

Do not make me wrong, I am not making an apology for CCP here. My point is your “wow, since then they all disappeared, and babarians took over.” kind of claim is simply false. Cultural revolution significantly degraded Chinese “educated, literate, artistic people”, but not totally destroyed.

The lacking of creativity and innovation are mentioned here more than once, I think it should be viewed much deeper. This is what is “seen”. The creativity and innovation in China are no where to be found in the universities, very much true. It is however not so that these people don’t exist. The problem lies that the educational system in China is a general system, a kind of one size fits all principle is upheld. Therefore specialistic needs are to tended to.

The main issue of this is that decision making is never taught within the educational system. It’s a singular path that is laid our for you. If you are good in math, than you should be doing this and that, if you are good in this or that, do this or do that. If you do not excel, no one really cares, and that actually forces you to think and make decisions to become “succesful” in life. A lot of foreign companies do employ many of these people nowadays, because in practice and in interviews they will excel, by showing capabilities, instead of knowledge. Actually this has always been something that seperates Tsinghua students already from other famous universities’ students. Tsinghua students are more decisive and have better eye for opportunities. You can notice this when looking at students that become entrepreneurs within China or abroad. Still much can be improved!!! More “real” incubators please!!~
