Recently, the news that Jiang Ping, a 17-year-old girl from Jiangsu Lianshui Secondary School, won the 12th place in the global mathematics competition, caused a huge response on social platforms. Secondary school students and "mathematical geniuses" obviously do not "match", and this contrast surprised netizens and made their eyes shine. Everyone marveled at her super talent, admired her love and dedication to mathematics, and envied her for being lucky enough to meet her Bole (her mathematics teacher Wang Yanqiu), and some people even called for colleges and universities to admit her exceptionally. As a result, it also gave rise to a discussion on the talent selection mechanism and evaluation criteria: at a time when academic qualifications and qualifications are generally valued, should we reduce talents without sticking to one pattern?
The story of Jiang Ping's upset counterattack is legendary, and the heated discussions it caused have also brought us a lot of inspiration.
You can meet your own Bole
It's a blessing
Jiang Ping's success is not accidental, and there is an important driving force behind it - her math teacher Wang Yanqiu.
Han Yu said that "Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have", and Maxima and Bole are often mutually successful. If Wang Yanqiu hadn't met Jiang Ping, he would have been "useless as a hero" when teaching at the secondary school; If Jiang Ping hadn't met Wang Yanqiu, there was a high probability that he would have gone to work in a garment factory after graduating from secondary school. Since ancient times, the story of Maxima meeting Bole has been talked about, but there are also many people who have not met talents, and they have empty ambitions and finally return with regrets. Therefore, Jiang Ping's explosion can't help but make us think: if she hadn't been discovered by Wang Yanqiu in mathematics, would she have been out of the picture? In thousands of middle schools across the country, will there be students like Jiang Ping, who have extraordinary talent for a certain subject, but miss the opportunity to grow rapidly because they have not been discovered and carefully guided by good teachers. What is valuable is that in a technical secondary school, Wang Yanqiu met Jiang Ping, who was "born to be useful", and happened to achieve each other, so Jiang Ping's "became famous in a fight". It is a great blessing for Jiang Ping to meet this mentor on the way to growth.
Many colleges and universities know that such a genius girl will throw an olive branch in the future, at least Jiang Ping's future choice will no longer be limited to clothing design. With Wang Yanqiu as the "guide", Jiang Ping's future road will be broader. And her own ceiling is even more unknown, as her talent is continuously explored, perhaps Jiang Ping will have more new options in the future besides PlanA and PlanB.

Looking forward to more dreams
Shine into reality
Doing what we love and realizing our dreams is the beautiful yearning of each of us. But in the contest with the world and fame and fortune, whether we still have to stick to our love and dreams, this genius girl named Jiang Ping may be able to bring us inspiration.
Everyone has had a dream, how amazing is the magic of love, it makes you busy from morning to night and does not feel tired, it makes your life full of vitality. But when we experienced the embarrassment of worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and experienced the imbalance of watching others drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses, we began to compromise with reality, and many people reluctantly chose to give up their dreams. I think there must be an indescribable painful journey behind their lonely figures.
Jiang Ping is lucky, she insisted on her dream, as a secondary school student, she defeated many Tsinghua University, Peking University, and MIT, and was able to stand out and be seen.
Jiang Ping's story also reminds us that no matter what kind of environment we are in, no matter what difficulties we face, we should not give up the pursuit of our dreams, not be limited and constrained by the external environment, and use our own efforts and talents to create our own wonderful life.
Encouraging young people to pursue their dreams also has positive practical implications. A society with dreams is also more dynamic and creative. And our society also needs to build more ladders from love to success for these people, and open up more stages and paths to realize their dreams, so that they can reap success when chasing their passion.
How wonderful dreams are, those desperate pursuits make us feel true happiness, which can pass through adversity, penetrate the gloom, and illuminate life.
We look forward to more dreams coming to life, taking root and bearing fruit.

Reduce the "elite school filter"
Don't judge heroes by their academic qualifications
In the past few days, the public's continued attention to Jiang Ping has evolved from the story itself to a debate about whether colleges and universities should be admitted exceptionally.
It is important to understand that exceptional admissions is a professional decision in the field of education, which requires students not only to have extraordinary talents in a certain area, but also to meet certain policy criteria. The implementation of such exceptional admissions by colleges and universities is based on established rules and procedures, based on laws, rules and professional judgment, rather than simply influenced by public opinion, which is also to take into account the fairness of education. It is worth noting that in order to reduce the competition fever and the burden on students, the mainland has canceled the Olympiad's college entrance examination bonus points and escort policy, and only members of the national training team retain the qualification of escort. Although Jiang Ping's participation in the event has international influence, it has not yet been recognized by the state, which means that even if she performs well in the finals, it is difficult to directly rely on this result to get an exceptional chance of admission.
Netizens called on colleges and universities to admit Jiang Ping exceptionally, on the one hand, it reflects people's love for talents, but on the other hand, it also hints at an embarrassing fact: even a talented young man like Jiang Ping can easily be buried if he does not have a good academic qualification.
It is expected that the society will eliminate academic discrimination, reduce the "filter of prestigious schools", and give young people more diversified and personalized opportunities with a more open mind. If we don't stick to one pattern to educate talents, don't judge heroes by academic qualifications, and only rely on short and long abilities, then more "Maxima" will be enthusiastic and shining.

Presenter :
For several days, the "genius girl" Jiang Ping dominated the hot search list, and has been watched, pampered, and hotly discussed. In this regard, the People's Daily commented: Love and kindness are touching, but the boundary of expression still needs to be kept, and you must not "consume" other people's privacy for traffic. The best way to take care of a talent is to add less hustle and bustle, give her more peace, and leave room for her to focus on her studies. No matter what the path of study is in the future, no matter what the results of the competition are in the future, it is worth feeling the beauty of science in the pursuit of knowledge. Give the answer to time, follow your heart, and move on.
