Later, there was such a story:
1979 when Qian Zhongshu accompanied a delegation from China Academy of Social Sciences to visit the United States, he was asked at a symposium of Columbia University on April 23rd that he got zero in Tsinghua's mathematics test, but his English was particularly good and he was accepted. Is it true?/You don't say. Qian Zhongshu replied that it was true, and then he said, "I failed in the math exam, but my Chinese and English were ok." Therefore, Luo Jialun, the principal at that time, specially called me to the principal's office to talk, and Monta was specially admitted. I also thanked Luo Jialun. " At the symposium, Qian Zhongshu didn't say how many points he got in the exam, only that he failed. The following year, Qian Zhongshu was invited to visit Japan. He was asked the same question at the symposium in Kyoto. He replied that his score of 15 was slightly higher than zero, "but he still failed." 1982, at the request of Hu Qiaomu, Jiang Yang wrote an article "Remember Qian Zhongshu and the besieged city". She said: "Zhong Shu only got 15 in mathematics." 0 or 15 doesn't matter, what matters is that Qian Zhongshu entered Tsinghua.
