中专女生，全网刷屏：“数学天才”的背后，现实引人深思…（讲解版）｜E0618

▍原文

A 17-year-old vocational school student, Jiang Ping, has achieved an extraordinary feat by securing the 12th position in the preliminary round of a global math competition.

Jiang's remarkable achievement has made many reflect on the country's enrollment system. She has largely self-taught herself to excel in mathematics.

Given how far she has made it, one can say that the education system should emphasize students' individuality and adopt a more diverse evaluation system.
