Chapter 617: Genius
Huang Meimei is sixteen this year, in addition to inheriting her mother's beauty genes by appearance, her personality follows her father who puts others first in everything, so although Meimei's academic performance is not outstanding, she is righteous and has a beautiful face, which is quite popular with her peers. Meimei's schoolbag rarely has tutorial books such as practice questions, but martial arts classics like "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" or pure original novels like "The Woman in White". No one knows how Huang Meimei, who has a test score of 60 points, can understand the original English books that are like a book in heaven for children of the same age, and no one knows and pays attention to this child, except for the beautiful face and hearty personality, he has already completed the sixth level of English and advanced mathematics in the city library alone.
Dad said that it is not easy to live in this life, and it is even more difficult to do something to make yourself happy and others to be happy. Meimei doesn't like to be in the limelight, because this precocious child feels that there is no sense of accomplishment in front of a group of children whose heads are not fully developed, and her father said that if you don't like it, don't do it, just be happy, so Meimei doesn't have more than 60 points in each exam, except for the fluctuation of language, the rest of the subjects are not more than 60 points. Dad said that sixty points is very good, many of the bad guys he has caught are top students with 100 points in the student period, with a score of 60 and a hundred people, this is the most important thing, Meimei herself thinks this is the truth.
During the Chinese New Year, my father joked that my family Meimei can actually really be 100 points, my mother didn't believe it, but said don't force the child to be too tired, the grades are this thing, just get by, Meimei is very happy that she has an enlightened father and mother. Before the midterm exam, she received the news of her father's sacrifice, Meimei hid in the library for three days and three nights and refused to go home, and went to the school early in the morning of the fourth day to take the midterm exam. Some teachers and students in other classes were not convinced, saying that Meimei must be cheating, and Meimei did not explain, and some teachers found that Meimei's schoolbag was in addition to "Chivalrous Journey" and "Jane Eyre" After this kind of novel is full of formulas and theorems that can only be accessed in college, the teachers of Ren were suddenly shocked, and went crazy to turn back every test paper before Meimei, only to find that this child, who has always been inconspicuous in his homework, can accurately control the scores of each science subject, and even the old principal who was rehired back to the fifth middle school after retirement was shocked, and personally invited Meimei to the principal's office. It was the first time Mei Mei had visited the principal's office, which was usually the preserve of super-priority students and mischievous tricksters.
The old principal had silver hair, a kind smile, and a kind jade excitement in his eyes, but he didn't come up and said Meimei, you must work hard to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, and then go to Harvard, and finally liberate all mankind and save the world. The old principal only smiled and asked, "Child, are you tired?"
The genius, who had been hiding in the library for countless days, finally lay on the old principal's knee and cried loudly, and the old principal did not dissuade him, sighing and patting the child who was about the same age as his granddaughter, saying that the old party members should not believe in ghosts and gods, but he felt that a good policeman like Meimei's father would definitely go to a beautiful place like heaven after he passed away.
Meimei stopped crying tiredly, and then asked the old principal, is it hot in heaven? It was winter when my father left, and he didn't have time to bring his summer clothes.
The old principal said that heaven is warm in winter and cool in summer, and in principle, it should be the rule of distribution according to need.
Meimei asked, if I die, I can see my father in heaven?
The old principal said that it should be able to do so.
Meimei said, principal, I will do a good job in the future.
The old principal said that the exam is just a stepping stone, the important thing is to cultivate students' learning ability and character, see you as a child, I know that my life's hard work is not in vain.
Meimei said, Principal, don't you want to test me?
The old principal said that the exam still has to be examined.
Meimei said, what is the test?
The old principal took out a test question and said, test this.
Meimei didn't say a word, took the test questions, and worked the coffee table in the old principal's office.
The old principal soaked a pot of the old protégé's filial piety in the Ming Dynasty, and when Meimei was doing the question, he was pacing back and forth in the office with a purple clay pot, like a leisurely old man who spent his old age in peace.
The old principal paced 10,000 steps, and Meimei, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, put down her pen and said, "Principal, I'm done."
The old principal looked suspicious, took the test paper, looked at ten lines, first his eyes were excited, and then his whole body trembled, and when he looked up again, it seemed that the child in front of him was a treasure that he was afraid of being taken away by others.
When Meimei walked out of the principal's office with her schoolbag on her back, the old principal asked the secretary to make dozens of copies of the test questions made by Meimei, and then held a school-wide faculty meeting, and the first topic of the conference: doing questions. All teachers frowned when they saw the test questions, and only a very small number of teachers who studied the college entrance examination in the third year of high school saw that this was the written test question of Tsinghua University's independent enrollment not long ago, which was divided into five test questions: Chinese and English comprehensive, English, mathematics, science comprehensive and chemistry. As soon as I got the test questions, some teachers asked, how can it be possible to do all the test questions in just two hours?
The old principal smiled and said, Zhao Xiaoqing, when you were in school, you liked to question authority, this is a good habit, and now that you are a teacher, this habit is still retained, I am very pleased, which shows that my education back then was quite successful. However, the test question you held in your hand today was completed in less than two hours just now, do you believe it?
In the Great Hall, the teachers turned their heads and talked about it, the authority of the old principal is beyond doubt in this school, and many of the teachers sitting below are students of the old principal, and most of them know the integrity and gentle character of the old principal, so they will not deceive them on this kind of issue.
The teacher who was called Zhao Xiaoqing by the old principal looked puzzled, but sat down and began to do the problem, she was a mathematics teacher, a top student in the Department of Mathematics of Jiang University, but she was dumbfounded when she saw the question - "The flow of novelists is made by barnyard officials, street talk, and hearsay." Confucius said, 'Although the road is small, there must be a considerable number of people, and to be far away and afraid of mud is to take the gentleman as the Buddha.' However, it is also extinguished, and the little knowers in Lu can reach it, and they will not forget, if it is acceptable, this is also the discussion of the madman. The requirement is to translate the ancient text into modern Chinese first, and then translate it into English and comment on it. Teacher Zhao Xiaoqing was partial to the subject when he was studying, and the science was unbeatable, and the Chinese and English were miserable, and finally under the polishing of the old principal, he barely made up for the shortcomings and was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Jiangning University, but the nightmare of his childhood came again, and Mr. Zhao also had a headache. Teacher Zhao is next to Mr. Wang, a national special teacher, who can see the test questions such as "can a finite parabola and its interior (including the part of the focal point) cover the entire plane?" and can't help but feel the urge to jump off the building.
The old principal sat on the rostrum and stroked the purple clay pot, smiling at the appearance of the teachers scratching their ears and cheeks. In two hours, no teacher can complete all five parts of the test, and there is no one who can complete six or seven out of ten.
The old headmaster smiled and put his pen down. After speaking, Secretary Chong nodded and sent another copy of the bound material.
When the teachers got the materials, they breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they were sending standard answers, hey, wait, no, how could this answer be handwritten......
The old principal took a sip of water before he said seriously, what you got just now is the student I said earlier who completed all the test questions in less than two hours. Yes, Mr. Zhao Xiaoqing, you don't need to raise your hand, you are just a student, a student you all know, but you don't necessarily know.
Teacher Zhao Xiaoqing put down her hand embarrassedly, and looked at the test paper carefully, the handwriting was beautiful and clear, especially the mathematical logical reasoning part that she was best at, which was even more interlocking and unflawed than the derivation she made as a teacher. Zhao Xiaoqing flipped through the answer sheet of the comprehensive English part again, and the English letters in the flower body seemed to be as beautiful as printing. Suddenly, Teacher Su beside him snorted softly.
Zhao Xiaoqing asked, Mr. Xiaosu, what's wrong?
Teacher Su said that this is Huang Meimei's handwriting.
Zhao Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, wasn't she the little girl who accidentally found that her schoolbag was full of senior mathematics textbooks?
Zhao Xiaoqing asked in disbelief, Teacher Xiaosu, are you sure it's Huang Meimei?
Teacher Su said, some days ago in the midterm exam, the composition was approved by me, there is an article I am particularly impressed, it is written in the language of Jiang Ningfu, to be honest, I can't write anything like that when I am a Chinese teacher, so I gave a full score, and I also read the text to everyone in the office of the language group, and Mr. Zhou of Class 7 has also seen it, and praised the beauty of this font, saying that there are at least ten years of soft pen calligraphy # skills.
Teacher Zhao asked Teacher Zhou behind him again, is this word familiar?
Teacher Zhou said, the authentic willow script, this child is copying the "Diamond Sutra Tablet". Mr. Zhou's calligraphy is well-known in the whole school, and he has won a national award, so what he said should not be false.
The old headmaster motioned for the teachers to be quiet, and the auditorium suddenly fell silent.
The old principal sighed and said, "Actually, over the years, I have been thinking about what the purpose of our education is. The little girl who did the question told me that her father said that there are too many people in this world who are good at learning but have poor character, in the words of our education circles, this kind of person is called learning without virtue, and is a waste material, but it is such a waste material, and it is likely that we are students who regard it as a treasure today. I'm thinking about it again, a schoolbag with a sixth-grade English and astrophysics child, every exam can be accurately controlled at 60 points, you are a teacher, but no one takes the initiative to explore the reason. Of course, I would like to praise Mr. Zhao Xiaoqing here, if it were not for Mr. Zhao Xiaoqing's spirit of inquiry, we would not have found that a child who originally seemed or thought to be doing nothing was actually such an outstanding genius. Have you ever thought that if it weren't for this serendipitous discovery, we would have missed out on an outstanding talent who is very likely to become a party in a certain discipline in the future, and as an educator, shouldn't everyone here, including me, reflect on it?
