Preamble:
This is an extraordinary adventure that changes the trajectory of an ordinary girl's life.
Her name is Pan Jing and she is from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
Who would have thought that a 6-year-old girl would become the youngest "officer" in China's history?
How did she get this honor with her innate talent?
It was love at first sight and discovered her amazing talents
On a cold winter day in 2001, Pan Jing was born in an ordinary herdsman family in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.
She was born with a pair of big smart eyes, fair skin, and delicate facial features, which made people fall in love at first sight.
Her parents named her "Jing", which means that this jade-like girl is crystal clear, beautiful inside and out.
Pan Jing has a lively and cheerful personality, full of vitality, and lives an innocent childhood with the cattle and sheep raised at home.
Her parents had planned to let her inherit the family business and become friends with livestock on this grassland in the future.
For the sake of their daughter's future, her parents decided to move to the city and let Pan Jing go to school and receive a better education.
When she was 4 years old, Pan Jing was sent to a kindergarten.
It was an episode in a mental arithmetic class that changed the lives of Pan Jing and her parents.
Pan Jing touched the abacus for the first time, fiddling with the abacus with both hands, and was engrossed in it, without looking up for half an hour.
This scene deeply shocked everyone present - it is amazing how a 4-year-old child can maintain such a long and high concentration in the face of something new!
This unusually focused action caught the attention of Ma Lixin, a mental arithmetic teacher.
In more than 30 years of teaching experience, it was the first time he had seen a child of his age show such a high interest in abacus.
Ma Lixin realized that this could be talent! Possess extraordinary talent!
He immediately called Pan Jing's parents and suggested that she learn mental Xi specifically from him, so as not to bury her talent.
The ignorant parents readily agreed, and sincerely appreciated the teacher's insight.
Xiao Panjing also did not hesitate to choose the path she loved.
Since then, this little girl from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia has embarked on the road of growing up as a prodigy.
The sharpening of talent and the extraordinary achievements of experience
Under the careful guidance of teacher Ma Lixin, Pan Jing's mental arithmetic talent was gradually developed and honed.
Her interest and concentration have not diminished in the slightest, and she spends her days studying Xi and practicing the use of Xi abacus.
Mr. Ma found that Pan Jing was not only curious about the abacus itself, but also extremely sensitive to number operations and their laws, and could often find patterns that others could not perceive.
He believes that in time, Pan Jing's talent will surely blossom and achieve great things.
The parents also lived up to the expectations of the teacher and fully supported their daughter on this extraordinary path.
They spend less time playing with Pan Jing and more space for her to be friends with the abacus.
Bought a large number of number and logic games, so that my daughter can satisfy her curiosity in entertainment.
He often takes her out to travel, broaden her horizons, and stimulate her rich associative ability.
Under the careful devouring of the teacher and the full care of the parents, Pan Jing's talent is like a fire tree, rising steadily.
In 2006, 5-year-old Pan Jing officially participated in the first abacus mental arithmetic competition.
It was a contest between geniuses, with young prodigies from all over the country gathering and the competition was extremely fierce.
Although the qualifications are still shallow, Pan Jing only won the second place by a slight margin with her outstanding computing power, but her performance has shocked the masters present.
At that time, Wang Weida, the president of the Abacus Mental Arithmetic Association, saw the extraordinary nature of this prodigy and realized that he needed to exert an escort hand as soon as possible, so that this seed could obtain the best soil for growth.
However, according to the regulations of the army, Pan Jing's age does not meet the standards for military service.
In order to dig up this jade, Wang Weida resolutely decided to make an exception and give her a chance to participate in the recruitment assessment of the abacus mental arithmetic special forces!
This assessment consists of 8 rounds of elimination, which is extremely difficult, and the requirements for mental arithmetic ability and stability are even greater than those of conventional troops.
Everyone has doubts about whether 6-year-old Pan Jing can pass.
However, unexpectedly, Pan Jing successfully passed one difficulty after another with her stable and extraordinary performance and amazing arithmetic thinking ability, and finally won the championship!
She used her strength to prove that a little girl under the age of 7 can also have excellent skills that are difficult for adults to achieve.
Through layers of rigorous challenges, Pan Jing finally proved herself with her strength and got the opportunity to enter the army.
In 2007, with the approval of all experts, Pan Jing, who was only 6 years old, was exceptionally admitted to the abacus special forces, becoming the youngest female "officer" in China's history!
Everyone present was moved - this little girl will definitely shine on the stage of the army!
The power of the abacus should not be underestimated
So, what is so outstanding about a little girl's mental arithmetic skills that can make the troops make an exception to hire?
It turns out that in today's high-tech network era, the importance of abacus should not be underestimated.
Once the mainland is attacked by a cyber attack or a virus, and a large number of core systems are paralyzed, abacus special operators like Pan Jing become the country's savior.
With superb hand calculation skills, they can accurately calculate the missile's flight trajectory, target distance, and strike angle in the event of a complete failure of the electronic equipment.
It can serve as the main force of mathematical operations anytime and anywhere to ensure the normal progress of major national economy and people's livelihood projects.
The importance of this offline computing power is more precious than any advanced equipment!
This can be clearly demonstrated by the process of developing China's first atomic bomb.
In the 50s of the last century, when the mainland had just been founded, there was only one mainframe computer that was obviously not enough.
To create an atomic bomb under such conditions is almost impossible.
However, under the call of the then Premier Zhou Enlai, hundreds of mental arithmetic experts from all over the world stepped forward to form an important manual calculation team.
They subdivided their work, calculated by hand, and finally solved the problem of making the atomic bomb perfectly.
This group of ordinary people made up for the lack of technical conditions with crowd tactics, and finally calculated the correct explosion parameters of the mainland's first atomic bomb!
Therefore, in the face of unknown circumstances and conditions, the power of abacus should not be underestimated.
It is not surprising that 6-year-old Pan Jing can reach the computing power of a division by herself.
It makes sense that she became the youngest "god baby" in the history of the special forces.
Gifted and promising
With her innate talent and hard work, Pan Jing's performance after enlisting in the army is remarkable.
At first, the strict military life was still a little uncomfortable for the little girl.
But soon, with her optimistic and studious personality, she integrated into the big family and kept up with the rhythm of military training.
In all assessments and Xi, Pan Jing completed the calculation task with zero mistakes and extremely fast speed, and never slowed down the efficiency of the special forces.
What's even more commendable is that the strict requirements in weekday training and the influence of the outstanding comrades-in-arms around him have also made Pan Jing greatly improve in other physical fitness and skill training, and even surpass many recruits in the same period.
It can be said that Pan Jing has not only become the "ace abacus" in everyone's mind, but also an all-round warrior with multi-faceted development.
The commanders and comrades-in-arms were impressed with her and sincerely admired her extraordinary talents and excellent qualities in her all-round development, which far surpassed her peers.
Today, this "abacus prodigy" who emerged from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia has grown up, and he still performs well in the army, has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and has shown excellent strength and valuable combat potential.
It is foreseeable that her heroic appearance will be seen more on the battlefield in the future!
Pan Jing's innate talent for abacus, coupled with the cultivation and experience of the day after tomorrow, finally shined on the stage of the army.
Stories like hers will serve as a role model for inspiring and inspiring future generations, allowing more young people to choose and stick to the path they love.
At the same time, it also once again confirms the invincible formula of "talent + hard work", and proves the infinite miracles that can be created by the combination of the two!
Epilogue:
Pan Jing's story inspires us to think about talent and potential.
An ordinary girl discovers her talents by chance, and with the careful cultivation of her teachers, family and troops, she finally shines in the field where the country needs it most.
Her experience is a testament to the combination of talent and hard work that can create limitless possibilities.
It also inspires us to be good at discovering the gifts of ourselves and others, and to give them proper enlightenment and cultivation.
If talent is a seed, then discovering, watering, and pruning are the keys to its fruition.
When a person encounters something he is truly passionate about and good at, no matter how small the fire is, it will burn in the wind of fate.
Pan Jing's achievements on the road of abacus have inspired more ordinary people to dare to chase their dreams and become leaders in their own fields.
She will also use her influence to help and inspire more followers to realize their life values.
