On June 25, the score checking video of Ye Taoming, a recent graduate of Xiangyang No. 5 Middle School, became popular: when he saw his total score of 708 in the college entrance examination (including 129 in Chinese, 139 in mathematics, 143 in English, 100 in physics, 98 in biology, 99 in chemistry), he just calmly turned his head and smiled at his mother, who gently sent encouragement "708, great!"

Ye Taoming's total score of college entrance examination is 708

This calm has not come easily. Eight months ago, when Ye Taoming ended his journey of the 40th National Physics Competition for Middle School Students with the first prize in Hubei Division and the provincial team being defeated by one, he could only rank more than 100 in the school's monthly exam because he was suspended for half a year to prepare for the competition. It is his character of "never abandon, never give up" and stable mood that make him catch up all the way.

The physics contest lasted for two years

From childhood to adulthood, Ye Taoming was the "learning god" in the eyes of students. After graduating from Xiangyang No. 20 Middle School, Hubei Province, he entered the competition class of Xiangyang No. 5 Middle School, specializing in physics.

"He liked to use his brain when he was young. At the beginning of selecting competition items, he chose mathematics and physics that he liked and was good at. But people's energy was limited, and the teacher advised him to concentrate on physics competition." Fan Hong, Ye's mother, said that after he was promoted to the second grade, his son won the first prize in the 39th National Physics Competition for Middle School Students in Hubei.

For many contestants, this is a good opportunity to exit. If they want to join the provincial team and the national team, they need better results. They need to suspend classes for competitions, and the academic burden is increasing. "If the result of the competition is not satisfactory, it will be very stressful to return to the track of the college entrance examination. Moreover, he is a child who has balanced scores in all subjects and is suitable for the college entrance examination. We and the teacher advised him to choose carefully, but he was unwilling to give up because he loved physics competition." Fan Hong said.

The next year, Ye Taoming won the 31st first prize of the 40th National Physics Contest for Middle School Students in Hubei, and was regrettably defeated in the list of 30 provincial teams. On the bus to pick him up, Fan Hong comforted his son. Although he missed a round of review due to a lot of missed classes, he could try his best to catch up first. It was really impossible. He could go back to school, and his mother would accompany him for another year.

To Fan Hong's surprise, her son said, "It's impossible for a person to have a smooth life without being upset. It's impossible for me to be upset, but not to this extent." "The child is comforting me. I feel so relieved that he has such a mentality," Fan Hong said.

He loves philosophy, go, basketball

When he returned to China in September last year, Ye Taoming ranked just over 100 in grade. But instead of rushing to make up, he followed the teacher's second round of review and made up by doing exercises.

His head teacher, Liu Rongpei, said that Ye Taoming was a calm person who was good at studying and thinking. He usually paid more attention to quality rather than quantity when doing exercises, liked to do difficult problems, and liked to think. "He often watched him finish exercises with his pen beside him, his eyes still fixed on the topic, and his brain ran fast to review and expand; he also often followed the teacher to discuss problems."

Ye Taoming takes part in the debate

In the college entrance examination, Ye Taoming was most impressed with mathematics and chemistry. "The last question of the last big math question was not worked out; for chemistry and biology, I suspended classes for the pre match class, and I felt that this was the most difficult set of questions I had done recently, and I tried my best to answer them, with relatively high scores," he said.

In the eyes of people around, Ye Taoming not only has good academic performance, but also is a model of all-round development. Fan Hong said, "My son's primary school learned four hobbies over the weekend, and he got the tenth grade of piano, the seventh grade of calligraphy, the third grade of go amateur, and the black belt in taekwondo. He likes to dismantle things on weekdays. It can be said that he began to devote himself to learning in junior high school." Liu Rongpei also said that Ye Taoming loved playing basketball, and he played basketball with his classmates in almost every PE class, He is also a warm-hearted person who actively participates in class work.

Liu Rongpei sighed that Ye Taoming's excellence is inseparable from his understanding and has always supported and encouraged his parents

Ye Taoming, a science expert, actually likes philosophy and history. He bought the works of Hegel, Russell, Heidegger and Nietzsche, and also liked to study foreign history. This summer vacation, he wants to give more time to his hobbies.
