It was an ugly young man who said this. Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people, this young man is ugly.
He was wearing an ordinary sweatshirt, with messy hair and abnormal facial features, with a large bottle of mineral water under his arm and a bag of steamed bread in his hand.
What do you think is not worthy of his identity as a teacher of Peking University, so some people laugh at it:
"It seems that the threshold for being a teacher at Peking University is not high!"
"God, if that's the case, I'd rather my son didn't go to Peking University."
"This, you can find the object? Haha "
These people who judge a book by its cover have no idea that this young man is Wei Dongyi, the winner of the 49th and 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and the first gold medal winner.
Wei Dongyi was born in 199 1. His parents are professors of Shandong Jianzhu University and his father is a professor of mathematics. As a child, Wei Dongyi showed great interest in mathematics.
14 years old, admitted to the Olympiad Class of the High School Attached to Shanda University, and was reported to Peking University on 20 10. It took only eight years to complete all the courses of this master's degree in Peking University.
In addition, when he was a junior at Peking University, Wei Dongyi won four gold medals in the mathematics competition for Qiu Chengtong college students, the highest level in China. Only five events were counted in this competition, and he also won the individual all-around award.
Now everyone knows what Wei Dongyi can do, right? In fact, digging deep into his growth experience, we should get inspiration from it to raise our children. After all, "stones from other mountains can attack jade"!

Interest is more important than talent.
Wei Dongyi is called "Shen Wei" in academic circles, not only because of his achievements in the field of mathematics, but also because he was a child who was particularly interested in mathematics since he was a child.
Some people may say that Wei Dongyi's father is a professor of mathematics, and he was born with mathematics genes. In fact, more important than genes is that parents should cultivate their children's interest in learning.
Because there are many books on mathematics at home, Wei Dongyi will read them since he was a child. When he was in the first grade of primary school, he read a book called "China Mathematics School" and officially began to like mathematics.
The joy of solving a series of mathematical problems made Wei Dongyi concentrate more on learning all kinds of mathematical knowledge under the blessing of strong interest, and later gradually showed his extraordinary mathematical ability.
Dad accompanied Wei Dongyi to do the math problem to see who could solve the correct answer first. Wei Dong devoted his father's efforts to these daily activities when he was a child, and cultivated his interest in mathematics.
In fact, every child is more or less interested in some aspects of learning. The difference is that some parents can pay attention to and tap their children's interests and cultivate their children to stick to it.
"My main business is raising bugs." 12-year-old boy Yin Ran said this sentence. He keeps more than 200 kinds of bugs and keeps bringing new ones home.
The reporter asked his mother what it was like to face such a son. Mom smiled and replied, "Very interesting."
Mom and Dad took Yin Ran up the mountain to look for bugs, took photos of them and studied the structure of the bugs they brought home. Yin Ran is now an "insect expert" at a young age!
German physicist Albert Einstein said that interest is the best teacher.
In the process of children's growth, parents can guide their children to constantly explore knowledge in areas of interest, which may help them develop their skills into the ability to settle down.
Moreover, with the blessing of interest, it will make it easier for children to invest and concentrate in the process of seeking knowledge, thus strengthening their stronger interest in learning.

Concentration is more important than success.
Many people were shocked by the bottle of mineral water and a bag of steamed bread in Wei Dongyi's hand in the interview video, and they all said with distress that such an important person didn't eat better.
Perhaps for him, as long as he can eat enough food, there is no need to be so particular about it, and time should still be spent on mathematical research, which is the field he continues to focus on.
Wei Dongyi has been focusing on mathematics since he became interested in mathematics learning, and has never stopped learning. Even Harvard University wants to break the school rules and invite him, and is willing to waive the English exam directly.
Wei Dongyi's achievements in other subjects may not be outstanding, and he looks and talks below everyone, but his concentration is above ten thousand people, and he will become a figure worshipped by everyone.
For ordinary children, it may not be so successful in the future, but parents must cultivate concentration so that children can continue to deepen their interests.
A psychologist once did a study. There are 8 kinds of toys that children usually like to play in the room, and then parents observe how long children play with each toy in 7 minutes.
The younger a child is, the less toys he plays, indicating that the child's concentration is higher. If the child is about 5 years old and throws away every toy after playing for a while, parents need to pay special attention to cultivating his concentration.
Whether it is the school's learning task or the learning progress of children's interests, it is inseparable from the blessing of concentration. The learning mode of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days is bound to fail to keep up with the development of social situation.
Take my son for example. He likes to have fun since he was a child. A fire truck or police car can fight for half a day. Once installed, disassemble, disassemble and reassemble. He is always full of creativity.
Mark Twain, an American writer, said that as long as you concentrate on a certain cause, you will surely achieve amazing achievements.
The cultivation and improvement of concentration will enable children to do what they should do in a fixed time, constantly improve their learning ability and help children improve their skills.
With the growth of children, children with strong concentration are more likely to find subdivided areas of study and achieve better results in their interested professional direction.

Internal is more important than external.
When people who mocked Wei Dongyi on the Internet saw his eclectic appearance, they all thought that this appearance, which could not be found in the crowd, and ordinary clothes that were not worth mentioning, should not be the appearance of a professor at Peking University at all.
So what? Wei Dongyi just put all his energy into academic research, because most people can't understand his own "Wei Dongyi inequality".
In the interview, the reporter asked him to say a word to this year's college entrance examination students. Wei Dongyi said directly, "Come on, welcome to Peking University, and I won't say anything else."
Some netizens said, how can a person who is so inarticulate like Wei Dongyi be a good teacher at Peking University? As we all know, being a teacher at Peking University is not about eloquence, but about academic research ability.
20 19 When Wei Dongyi was a teaching assistant at Peking University, the teacher introduced him like this: "This is the new teaching assistant. Ask me what you don't understand about math problems. You can ask Professor Wei if you don't understand. If he doesn't understand, he must be mistaken. "
I think most parents are willing to cultivate excellent children like Wei Dongyi, because the inside is more important than the outside.
The son of Lao Li's family next door to my house is in Grade Two. Every morning, he has to take pictures in front of the mirror, at least for more than half an hour. He was so angry that Lao Li pushed him out of the house that he had to go back and polish his sneakers.
There is nothing wrong with children loving beauty, but it is not good to pay too much attention to appearance. Lao Li's son is wearing a watch and a famous brand, but his grades are declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The other day, Lao Li complained to me that his son's class teacher complained that he was prone to puppy love. Lao Li had a heart-to-heart talk with his son, but his son plausibly said, "I am so handsome." What happened to a relationship? "
The ancient Greek philosopher democritus said that the beauty of the body, if not combined with wisdom, is an animal thing.
Children's good time before adulthood should be spent on studying hard and improving their inner ability, instead of just focusing on their appearance and ignoring the opportunity to make up for their studies later.
Parents need to tell their children to dress neatly, and the most important thing is to cultivate a rich and interesting soul and let their children live a rich and happy life.

Some netizens commented that Wei Dongyi said that this is someone who can contribute to the motherland in the future.
Indeed, it is precisely because of talents like Wei Dongyi who study hard in basic disciplines that our motherland will get better and better.
As parents, we may not have gifted children, but we are inspired and practiced in the process of raising children from the road of genius growth, no matter how much we gain, we are growing.
