The story of Qian Zhongshu
Qian Zhongshu is a famous modern writer in China. In the college entrance examination, he applied for Tsinghua University. Although his grades are very good, and his Chinese and English are close to full marks, his math scores are only fifteen points.
The admission rule in Tsinghua University is that as long as one subject fails the exam, it will not be accepted. But Qian Zhongshu's math is so poor that even he feels hopeless. But Luo Jialun, the principal at that time, finally decided to make an exception for him, because he got good grades in Chinese and English. In fact, Qian Zhongshu is not the only student who was admitted because his math scores did not meet Tsinghua's requirements. Such as Wu Han, Wen Yiduo and Ji Xianlin, are well-known scholars at home and abroad. When they took the Tsinghua University exam, they failed in math, and some even got zero. However, due to their outstanding performance in some aspects, they were appreciated and finally accepted as an exception.
There is also a story about Qian Zhongshu's poor math performance, but he made an exception and was admitted to Tsinghua. It is said that Qian Zhongshu did not do well in math, but his name did appear in the admission notice of Tsinghua, ranking 57th among the boys admitted that year.
Qian Zhongshu did badly in math and was admitted to Tsinghua, but this can't be used as a reason why students don't want to study math now, so they must develop all-round in their subjects.
