The hottest thing in the past few days is Jiang Ping, who dominates the hot search.

As a secondary school student, being able to advance to the twelfth place in the global mathematics competition is enough to make a movie, which is simply a ready-made cool script.

After Jiang Ping's incident broke out, the entire imperial capital mother circle was boiling, and many groups of Mi Li's mother also discussed this matter enthusiastically.

Indeed, the Alibaba Mathematics Competition, arguably the world's largest online mathematics competition, is attended by tens of thousands of math elites every year.

Jiang Ping made the name of "Jiangsu Lianshui Secondary Vocational School" surrounded by a bunch of Tsinghua University, Peking University, Cambridge, and MIT, which was particularly conspicuous.

This is like a lot of cool episodes of grassroots counterattacks, which are always particularly exciting. And in the top 30 in the world, she is the only girl.

In fact, the opportunity to stand out depends on the rules of Alibaba's competition.

Nowadays, almost all mathematics competitions have a very high threshold, and only this Alibaba mathematics competition has no threshold and is open to the whole society.

No matter what education you have, what industry, secondary school students, courier brothers, maintenance masters...... All are fully able to apply.

This is a bit like the Tang Dynasty's "meritocracy, all the heroes and talents in the world" system, those outstanding children of poor families, or students who failed the imperial examination, can also have a platform to show their talents.

Speaking of which, this competition was also an accidental opportunity for Ma Yunma's father, who chatted with a group of mathematicians and had a high chat, so he had a flash of inspiration and immediately decided to set up a math competition with no threshold, wanting to see how many hidden grassroots geniuses there were.

Wei Dongyi, the "Wei Shen" of that year, was one of the gold medal winners of the first Alibaba competition, and he was also famous in this competition.

And this time Jiang Ping's birth made Mi Li's mother suddenly think: How many talented and persevering children are restricted by the current rules and regulations, and they have not been able to display their talents in their lives?

A genius girl and a persistent mentor

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and it is inaccurate to say that Jiang Ping's counterattack was completely accidental. Because her school choice idea is not blind, she has her own set of playing styles.

Jiang Ping's 2022 high school entrance examination score is 621 points, which is a score that can go to high school in her area of Jiangsu, but not too good a high school.

There are only two four-star high schools in Lianshui County, Jiangsu, and her score is not enough for the relatively good four-star school, so she can only barely reach the worse one.

The best choice for her is to pay money to choose a school and go to a private school, but she also has an older sister at home, and the burden is very heavy, so it is not cost-effective for her to pay money.

Going to secondary school is a rational choice, because she can get a scholarship to go to a secondary school with this grade, and students with good enough grades can take a single move, and the probability of going to undergraduate is greater, mainly because she can save the money for choosing a school.

Her sister also went to a secondary school, and she was admitted to a bachelor's degree in Nanjing. Therefore, the school choice idea of the two sisters is the best choice made on the premise of having a clear understanding of themselves, and it is not a touching drama of a genius who falls into a secondary school to step on a sewing machine.

In the fashion design major of secondary school, the coursework is very easy. She had a lot of time to dedicate to her favorite math and didn't have to go to high school to study all the subjects with her classmates.

Her math talent was full and she was soon seen by her math teacher. It is gold that inevitably shines, and her light is like a torch in the dark to her math teacher.

Because her math teacher, Wang Yanqiu, is also a hidden math fanatic. The encounter between Mr. Wang and Jiang Ping in this secondary school is like the Boyazi period, the mountains and rivers, and the achievement of each other has become an inevitable accident.

Speaking of which, Mr. Wang Yanqiu is also a graduate student of Jiangsu University. His classmates all called him Jiangda's version of "Wei Shen". At the beginning, I didn't get the opportunity to continue my studies, so I returned to my hometown to teach at this secondary school, but the fire of love for mathematics surged in my heart, but it was never extinguished.

A talented teacher,Met a math genius girl,Is this plot really dramatic?

Bole and Maxima's quantum entanglement

After meeting Jiang Ping, a good seedling, Wang Yanqiu certainly spared no effort to cultivate her.

He tried to show Jiang Ping undergraduate books such as "Advanced Mathematics" and "Mathematical Analysis", but he didn't expect that she was completely stress-free and learned quickly and well.

He also showed Jiang Ping the all-English version of "Partial Differential Equations" and asked her to teach herself. Jiang Ping actually relied on an English dictionary and translation software on her mobile phone to successfully learn "Partial Differential Equations".

This is like a wonderful quantum entanglement, in a secondary school, there is actually a hidden math maniac, and he himself participates in the Alibaba Mathematics Competition every year.

From 2022 to now, he has participated three times. They finished 166th, 461st and 125th respectively.

The third time he participated with Jiang Ping, although Jiang Ping won the 12th scary result, but Mr. Wang obviously improved a lot compared to his previous grades, it is difficult to say whether it is because of studying with Jiang Ping, so that he further opened his mind and refined his art.

Isn't this what Confucius said about "teaching and learning together"! It's also exciting for teachers and students to learn from each other and grow together.

Not long ago, Mi Li's mother just recommended the documentary "The Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" to everyone.

I must quote the famous sentence in Han Yu's famous article "Ma Said" mentioned in it: "There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses." Maxima often has, Bole does not often have. ”

Previously, Mi Li's mother also recommended a "The Man Chosen by Mathematics".

Archimedes, Galois...... These great mathematicians were fascinated, attracted by the beauty of mathematics, and were willing to give everything.

Archimedes was obsessed with studying pi during the war, and when he finally discovered how π was calculated, π the common law of all circular calculations, a Roman soldier broke into his house.

And the last words of his life were to say angrily to the soldiers:

"Don't mess with my circle!"

Then the soldier swung his sword and stabbed Archimedes to death.

I believe that Mr. Wang and Jiang Ping are also the people who were selected by mathematics, and their common enthusiasm for mathematics is like a kind of quantum entanglement, pulling each other, finding each other, and achieving each other.

If Jiang Ping is a Haidian baby

At the first time when Jiang Ping dominated the hot search, everyone was crazy in the group: If Jiang Ping was in Haidian, what would be the situation? It takes so many dramatic coincidences and serendipity to stand out.

Speaking of which, although Mi Li's mother was not able to become a fanatical immersion and become a "person chosen by mathematics", I was also quite fond of mathematics when I was a child, mainly thanks to Mi Li's grandfather's crazy Amway.

Grandpa Mi Li is a science and engineering man, and after having me, his biggest goal is to train me into a typical "science and engineering girl".

Grandpa Mi Li's undergraduate science is mathematics, and he taught me binary when I started counting (I was too difficult).

In order to cultivate my passion for science, he often told me how cool mathematics was, came up with all kinds of tricky questions to test me, and also found Russian textbooks, such as "Jimidovich Workbook" for me to read.

In addition to mathematics, Grandpa Mi Li also told me about the refraction of light, the mathematical, physical and chemical phenomena in life, and every time I came back from a business trip, he would buy me a complete set of Lego (when my generation was young, how many people played Lego, neighbors, classmates and classmates made various excuses to go to my house to play, all thanks to Mi Li's grandfather).

In short, in order to ignite my passion for mathematics, physics and chemistry, Grandpa Mi Li really worked hard.

When I was in middle school, many Haidian children around me had already learned advanced mathematics in college (of course, there are also college physics and chemistry students, and various original textbooks are not uncommon).

So I'm thinking that since Haidian children are young, parents have consciously done everything possible to establish a "mathematical brain" for their children, so Jiang Ping can copy the Haidian cow baby model all the way, and there is no need to go through so many twists and turns.

If Jiang Ping is in Haidian, the real mathematical talent cannot be hidden. And Haidian's parents will also lift her to a good school.

Watching the news, Jiang Ping had already shown her mathematical talent when she was in the fourth grade, and the Haidian Tianniuwa in the fourth grade had already played competitions everywhere, made results, and showed their mathematical talents.

Jiang Ping's parents will know that Haidian has ZP and Xicheng has "Eight S and Eight S", and two years earlier they don't even need Haidian and Xicheng school registration, and the children in the city can take the test.

Parents' cognition and hard work cannot determine the upper limit of the child, but they can "cover the bottom" for the child.

Jiang Ping became famous in one fell swoop, and the opportunity for further study is definitely not a problem. In addition to being inspiring, her story also made Mi Li's mother see that there must be more hidden seedlings scattered in the crowd.

Parents may not be able to help them plan, or they may have super potential but suffer from limited platforms, so they have not been tapped.

And Jiang Ping's school choice idea also gave them another angle of inspiration, that is, to keep their love and never give up.

Seon is not blessed, and everything that happens is in my favor. Just like Jiang Ping, the relaxed academic environment of the secondary school just gave Jiang Ping enough time to concentrate on the subjects she loved.

But only if you have something to love. All roads lead to Rome, and some people were born in Rome. What about being born in Rome? If you work hard enough, have a broad vision and ambition, why can't you make it in Rome?

Talented, born out of thin air, stick to the original intention, and always have to be! Maxima is fortunate to meet Bole, which is really gratifying.
