Recently, Jiang Ping, a 17-year-old technical secondary school schoolgirl who entered the final of the 2024 Ali Global Mathematics Competition and ranked 12th, became popular on the Internet and became a new model for young people's inspirational growth.
In the media interview, Jiang Ping expressed her dream of being admitted to Zhejiang University. Netizens enthusiastically shouted at Zhejiang University, but the admission office of Zhejiang University responded: "It's not easy to answer, we all act according to the regulations."
Seeing the response of Zhejiang University, it was actually Jiang Ping's refusal.
On the contrary, Jiangsu University sent a warm invitation to Jiang Ping in the hot search comment area of social media on June 14, welcoming her to join. She specially emphasized that "here, she will become an alumnus with her teacher, and explore and advance together on the academic road."
Tongji University tweeted congratulations to Jiang Ping. It is also reported that the Chinese University of Hong Kong has also sent an invitation to Jiang Ping. Of course, there are other universities that also want to invite her to study.
From the perspective of 985 schools like Zhejiang University, they may think that Jiang Ping is not so important to them and will not break some conventions.
Even though the 2024 Ali Global Mathematics Competition is only a semi official competition that has been held for six times, although Jiang Ping scored high in the finals and crushed many famous school players, the difficulty of the preliminary test questions is only the level of the entrance examination for doctoral students majoring in mathematics. It is still unknown how Jiang Ping will achieve in the final on June 22. In addition, Jiang Ping's real mathematical level has not been effectively examined by Zhejiang University.
Therefore, Zhejiang University cannot easily express its position. In line with the principle that more is better than less, I simply replied to the voice of public opinion.
In fact, Zhejiang University may have misjudged the situation! It is an honor for Zhejiang University that Jiang Ping, a hot and outstanding talent, loves Zhejiang University alone. Zhejiang University declined Jiang Ping's words. Although they were rigorous and responsible, their EQ was still low. Especially in the national hot time when the college entrance examination is about to be filled in, such a reply will not only easily reduce the image of Zhejiang University, but also fail to grasp the heaven given "flow package" of the super enrollment promotion, which is really regrettable.
It can be said that this is not only Jiang Ping's regret, but also the great loss of Zhejiang University.
Some netizens read some news reports about Jiang Ping and thought that Jiang Ping was keen on studying clothing design related majors, which was higher than mathematics. She gave up high school and chose technical secondary school because of her love for clothing design.
In fact, Jiang Ping is not a partial subject but a partial subject because mathematics is too prominent; Jiang Ping did not study in technical secondary school because she loved the major of fashion design, but because of her family's economic reasons, she chose to study in technical secondary school and obtained tuition relief and scholarships.
To say the least, even if she puts the major of clothing design first, according to her competition results, her love for mathematics must let her see new hope and self potential. In terms of life direction and specialty, the weight of choosing mathematics must exceed that of clothing design.
In the news interview, Jiang Ping said that "clothing design and mathematics can not be put down." This shows that Jiang Ping is not only high IQ, but also high EQ. If she only wants to emphasize mathematics, in fact, it is an "inhuman" "blow" to her secondary vocational school in Lianshui, Jiangsu Province. From here, she met her own better math teacher and made her take off. Therefore, emphasizing the major of fashion design is not only an affirmation of your past life, but also an emotional gift and recognition of your school.
As for teacher Jiang Ping, she said that because she is currently studying in a technical secondary school, she can only apply to three universities in Jiangsu Province due to professional restrictions. While congratulating Jiang Ping on her achievements, Changshu Institute of Technology also welcomed her to apply for the college's clothing design and engineering major in the future, and suggested that she could first come to Changshu Institute of Technology to lay a solid foundation for undergraduate studies, and then go to Zhejiang University for further study after her master's degree.
Even if such a tedious operation comes down, there may be one more excellent service designer in the world, but there must be one less top mathematician. Rather than majoring in clothing and being interested in mathematics, let Jiang Ping directly devote herself to mathematics and only take clothing design as a hobby, which is more meaningful and valuable.
As normal, Jiang Ping can take the college entrance examination next year, and is expected to enter the university after passing the college entrance examination. However, the development of things often cannot wait until next year, and may be invited by other universities. Even watching online video news, someone is still contacting Harvard University and other international famous schools to coordinate her to study abroad. This is both joy and sorrow!
This is actually the time to test the wisdom of Zhejiang University. Many times, nothing is impossible. As long as you think about it, there are always ways and means to solve problems. It's really no good. You can also take preparatory courses alone, focus on mathematics, and set up special training plans. The key is, it depends on whether the school has this mind and bearing, and whether it has this responsibility!
