Recently, a controversy over a mathematics competition has pushed a secondary school student named Jiang Ping to the forefront.
Fang Zhouzi, a well-known academic fraudster, also joined the debate, pointing out Jiang's multiple mistakes in the math competition and questioning the authenticity of her results.
Could it be that Jiang Ping's starlight really has to be dimmed because of this?
The cause of the incident stems from the 2024 Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition.
In this competition full of masters, Jiang Ping stood out from many famous school students as a dark horse and won the 12th place in the world.
This achievement is undoubtedly a huge surprise and glory for a secondary school student.
As Jiang Ping's name appears more and more frequently in major media and online platforms, doubts about her achievements have gradually heated up.
Fang Zhouzi, as a leader in the fight against academic fraud, will naturally not stand idly by for this kind of controversy.
He carefully studied Jiang Ping's contest answer sheet and found a number of obvious mistakes.
First of all, Jiang Ping does not seem to have fully grasped the correct use of summation symbols, resulting in errors in the calculation process.
Secondly, in the process of problem solving, Jiang Ping's understanding of some mathematical theorems and formulas is not deep enough, which affects her problem-solving efficiency and correctness to a certain extent.
Finally, Fang Zhouzi also questioned Jiang Ping's learning background.
As a secondary school student, can Jiang Ping really master complex knowledge such as advanced mathematics, mathematical analysis, and even partial differential equations in a short period of time?
Faced with Fang Zhouzi's questioning, Jiang Ping did not choose to remain silent.
She said that she did make some mistakes in the math competition, but that didn't mean her results were fake.
She admits that she did encounter many difficulties in the process of learning, but it was these difficulties that made her more determined to learn mathematics.
She said she would be open to criticism and suggestions and continue to work hard to improve her math.
Fang Zhouzi didn't stop there.
He further analyzed the difference between Jiang Ping's mock exam papers and the official competition papers.
In the mock exam paper, Jiang Ping's score was only 83 points, which was far from the 93 points in the official competition.
This difference made Fang Zhouzi more convinced of his judgment: Jiang Ping's results may have moisture.
In addition, Fang Zhouzi also questioned Jiang Ping's high school math foundation.
He believes that how can a student who is not even good at high school mathematics master complex knowledge such as advanced mathematics and mathematical analysis in a short period of time?
This controversy has aroused widespread concern from all walks of life.
Some people support Fang Zhouzi's questioning, believing that Jiang Ping's achievements are indeed doubtful; There are also people who take a wait-and-see attitude, thinking that Jiang Ping should be given a chance to clarify and prove herself.
After all, in such a competitive era, everyone is fighting hard for their dreams.
Even if Jiang Ping really made some mistakes, we should not deny her hard work and dedication because of this.
In this controversy, we have to think about a question: has capital made stars become a common phenomenon? In this era of information explosion, various media and online platforms are doing whatever it takes to get traffic and attention.
They package and hype some so-called "geniuses" and "prodigies" through various means, so that these people become the focus of public attention.
Do these so-called "geniuses" and "prodigies" really have the talents and abilities they advertise? Are their achievements and accolades real? These are questions worth pondering.
Returning to Jiang Ping's controversy, we have to admit that Fang Zhouzi's doubts have a certain degree of truth.
As a secondary school student, it is indeed unlikely that Jiang Ping will master complex knowledge such as advanced mathematics and mathematical analysis in a short period of time.
Nor does this lead us to conclude that her results were false.
After all, everyone has their own learning method and pace.
Maybe Jiang Ping is the kind of person who can quickly grasp new knowledge in a short period of time.
Therefore, in the absence of conclusive evidence, we should maintain an objective and rational attitude, and not blindly follow the trend or believe the words of one family.
We hope that this controversy will spark more people to think about academic integrity and the phenomenon of capital star-making.
We should respect everyone's efforts and dedication, and at the same time, we should maintain our commitment to academic integrity.
Only in this way can we make the academic world more pure and healthier.
At the same time, we also hope that Jiang Ping can maintain her original intention and dream, not be affected by external interference and doubts, and continue to shine in the field of mathematics.
