Back to 11 years old

He Lin didn't have to wait long before he received the notice of the domestic training camp. He was selected into the domestic team participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad, and he had to go directly to Beijing to participate in closed training.

He Lin dragged a suitcase and stood on the bustling platform in a daze. Although he said he had been to the capital, it was already ten years later. No, He Lin couldn't believe it. The same is true for the train station. He Lin just felt that the train station was in a mess. He also lost his sense of direction and couldn't find any signs. Not sure where to go.

He came to the capital alone. When the training camp sent him a notice, he attached a train ticket, saying that someone would pick him up at the station, but He Lin hadn't seen him for a while.

Then, he saw a high-raised sign with his name written on it, and a line of smaller words below it, which said Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

The person who picked him up was a young man in his twenties, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair was a little messy. He also looked around the crowd in a daze, but He Lin had already walked in front of him. After realizing it, He Lin had already dragged the box over, looked up at him, and then stretched out a hand: "Hello, I'm He Lin!"

Only then did the young man notice He Lin, he hurriedly put down the sign in his hand, stretched out a hand, and shook hands with He Lin: "It's finally time for you, you look really small, go, the car is gone It's outside!" Saying that, he stretched out his hand to take the box in He Lin's hand, put the sign on the box, and pulled He Lin away.

He Lin was almost taken aback, and while following the young man's footsteps, he asked, "Here, this big brother, what's your name!"

The young man was also taken aback, with an embarrassed and silly smile on his face: "Oh, I forgot, my name is Li Le, and I am a graduate student led by Professor Yan, the counselor of your training camp. I just happen to have no class today. , the teacher will send me to pick you up!" As he spoke, probably afraid that He Lin would suspect him, he reached out and took out a student ID card from his pocket.

He Lin glanced at the student ID card, Li Le's name was written on it. Although the photo on it was black and white, he could still see the similarity with himself, so he felt relieved, so he smiled and said: "Then please take care of Brother Li!"

Li Le still smiled and pulled He Lin away, and said in his mouth: "Why don't you take care of me? You can't say, you will still be my junior! Our professor Yan told us about you a long time ago, saying that you are a math genius Woolen cloth!"

He Lin blushed: "What kind of genius, how can such a thing happen!"

Li Le chuckled: "He Lin, in your situation, if you don't study mathematics, it would be too wasteful. The mathematics department of Kyoto University is famous..."

It's a pity that Li Le's mouth is not very bright. After saying a few words similar to the school's enrollment propaganda, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to repeat: "Go to our school. Studying is not a disadvantage!"

He Lin pursed his lips and just wanted to laugh. To be honest, studying mathematics in college is not a good choice for those who think about the long-term, or those who do not plan to study in depth. Many majors belong to the kind that looks tall However, in fact, it is difficult to find a job. You have learned a lot of advanced mathematics and various conjecture theorems in college. However, after you graduate, you will find that almost 99% of the jobs are used For those who don’t know these things, the four arithmetic operations are used the most in society, and with the widespread use of calculators later, even if you are illiterate, as long as you can understand Arabic numerals and arithmetic symbols, you can use a calculator Press, and the general operation result will come out.

College students are better these days. Although universities have begun to expand their enrollment, college students are still scarce resources. In the future, undergraduate students will be caught by the hand, and graduate students will be a little competitive. If you don’t come from "211" or "985", you There is not enough confidence to submit a resume to the talent market.

Li Le had a bookish air about him, and his EQ wasn't very high. When he found that he couldn't find anything to talk about, he simply dragged his suitcase and dragged He Lin to the outside of the station.

There was a van waiting outside the station. Li Le took He Lin into the van and greeted the driver: "Master, let's go!"

He Lin was taken aback, and asked, "Is it just me?"

Li Le nodded and said: "Well, I am only responsible for picking you up. There are not many people, and they are all from all over the country. The train schedules are different, and some even have different arrival locations. It is also very easy to be late. Yesterday, a senior brother who was in charge of picking up people came to the station early in the morning to wait. After waiting for a long time, I found out that the train was delayed by more than ten hours, and finally ran again in the middle of the night. I took a trip. He Lin, you are relatively smooth, although you are a little late, but it is more than an hour late!" After speaking, Li Le showed a somewhat grateful look.

The capital city these days is far less congested than it was later. The van galloped on the street for more than half an hour before arriving at its destination. It was a hotel that seemed to be relatively remote. The training camp had booked a whole floor, and the classroom was where the meeting was held. room.

The days of the training camp passed very quickly. He Lin was not the youngest. For a while, it was quite normal for some children who could be called geniuses or child prodigies to skip a grade. It's normal, but He Lin is the most balanced and stable among this group of people. He hardly has any shortcomings, and his personality is also very mature.

This is actually very rare. To be honest, since Huaxia began to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad, there has been a period of training every year. I have seen many students who are called geniuses, some older, some younger, and some In order to participate in this competition, students even give up the university they just entered and go to high school for another year.However, in essence, these students are still not very sensible children, and some children even cry because no one is taking care of them, which is very troublesome.

He Lin's situation probably confirmed the saying that the children of the poor should be in charge of the family early. To be able to participate in this kind of international competition, I can't wait for the eighteen generations of ancestors to find out. He Lin's situation has naturally been known. Of course, People pay more attention to He Lin's family and education, but they don't know that at this age, He Lin has already joined several promising industries, and now he can comfortably live a lifetime of luxury with dry stocks of life.They found out that He Lin had sold a batch of transcripts of the Yongle Canon, and these transcripts have now been donated to the museum. Therefore, they have no doubts about He Lin's fairly good life now.

He Lin is almost the most mature one among the group of people. He is not like the big kid that most people say, but he really has the thinking habits similar to adults. This also makes those few who train them The teacher felt strange, but they are all academics, so they can't control so much. Anyway, during the training period, the ability of these students should be improved as much as possible.

Among this group of people, He Lin also felt very good. Those who can participate in this kind of competition, regardless of their EQ, have good IQ and logical thinking ability, and all of them are relatively simple. He Lin can compete with them very well. Communicating freely made He Lin almost like this environment.

He Lin is already tired of the fast-paced life in his previous life. Now that he thinks about it, He Lin can hardly imagine how he managed to survive at that time. He ran all over the city, his feet were covered with blisters, he had to fall asleep next to the pillow every day, and in his dreams he was drinking with others to make up for his laughs, but in this life, he never wanted to live like this again.

As a person who has almost exhausted his life, He Lin hopes to have a relatively simple and enjoyable life, instead of being forced to wind up the clockwork every day in order to survive, and he cannot relax for a moment. In that case, even if he was not killed by a car, he might end up dying from overwork. In the end, there will be another case of karoshi in the media, which will attract attention and be used to criticize the unreasonable labor system. Pick up a business owner like Huang Shiren, and then there will be no more articles.

He Lin is now immersed in all kinds of weird things every day. Most people feel dazzled when they look at them, or inexplicable graphics or numbers. A group of students who are training together open their mouths to calculate theorem calculations that many people do not understand. Everywhere, He Lin didn't feel tired, but felt the long-lost fulfillment and even joy. He suddenly felt that maybe, living like this for a lifetime is not a bad thing.

After the training camp, what Mo Zhenlin saw was He Lin like this. Because of the high-intensity mental work, He Lin seemed to have lost some weight and became whiter, but his mental state seemed to have undergone a huge change. When Mo Zhenlin looked at He Lin before, he always felt that He Lin had a vague old look, and he was a little alienated from many people. Mo Zhenlin felt puzzled and felt pity when he looked at it, and attributed this situation to what happened to He Lin. The family changed drastically, and then, when I saw He Lin this time, I found that He Lin's eyes were very bright, as if a fire had been ignited, and the whole person seemed to come alive all of a sudden, full of vigorous vitality. He was about the same age as a young man of his age. When he saw Mo Zhenlin, a big smile appeared on his face, he went up to meet him, and called out, "Brother Mo!"

Mo Zhenlin didn't know why He Lin had changed like this, but he felt happy from the bottom of his heart. He looked at He Lin and laughed too.
