Looking at China, the students in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University are the best, all gifted students, and the proportion of such students is second to none in the world.
For example, in the national team of the 57th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) on 20 16, five people chose to be sent to the Mathematics Department of Peking University.
In 20 17, all six "national athletes" of the 58th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) took to Peking University.
20 18 6th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 1 sent to Peking University.
20 19 at the 60th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), China won the championship again after missing the team championship for four consecutive years, and all six players won the gold medal. At present, one of them has decided to walk to Peking University!
