In 2018, 14-year-old Yang Yinghao stood on the stage of the fifth season of "The Strongest Brain". The outstanding students of Tsinghua Peking University are in front, the elite talents of Harvard University are behind, and there is a well-known brain king from Japan next to them.
A wonderful and tense brainstorming battle began, and no one expected that it would be a 14-year-old boy who would finally stand out. Has he surpassed the intelligence of many students in world-renowned universities?
In the face of the solicitation issued by many foreign schools at the first time, did he go to another country? Listen to the observations of the childlike students to elaborate.
Born in Hangzhou in 2004, Yang Yinghao was able to quietly read the story album for more than half an hour when he was more than two years old. Seeing that children have the ability to "self-study", the Parents of the Yang family began to focus on cultivating their children's learning ability.
At the age of 3, she began to learn piano, and the teacher of the tutoring class did not start from theoretical knowledge, but let the child know the piano and remember the order of the keys she pressed.
Unexpectedly, 3-year-old Yang Yinghao only took an hour and a half to grasp the content taught by the teacher. This made the teachers who originally thought that children of this age were very difficult to teach came to be interested, the knowledge of music theory poured out, and the scores were put on the table little by little, and they were lined up from easy to difficult.
Whenever Yang Yinghao finishes playing a piece of music with his teacher, he often gets a lot of praise from people around him. Encouraged to grow, the little boy learns faster and faster.
Often simpler repertoire, as long as the teacher plays it once, he can keep up with the rhythm and copy it perfectly.
It is also because of this talent that the Yang family's parents have high hopes for their children. Making a daily plan, the little child was disciplined to execute at the beginning, and then he completed it carefully and lived in a clear way, and developed his good self-discipline.
Entering primary school at the age of 7, Yang Yinghao did not like to learn cultural classes, especially Chinese courses. Despite his mother's presence, his grades have always hovered in the middle.
It was not until entering junior high school that the Yang family's parents and children talked about the university they wanted to go to in the future and the work they wanted to do in the future, that Yang Yinghao began to face up to his learning problems.
Of all the courses, Yang Yinghao likes mathematics the most, and he knows that his mother wants to enter the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, but only if he gets a high score.
If you want to study mathematics all the time, you also need to get a high score. Since you can't get around the high score in the end, let's fight for the score.
After making a decision, Yang Yinghao was willing to take action. Knowledge was filled in the father's help to check and fill in the gaps, and the young teenager also made his own study plan for each subject, and insisted on the preparation and review to the end.
Also thanks to his excellent memory, Yang Yinghao often has a state of doing more with less in his studies. After catching up with his subject grades, he devoted some of his energy to mathematics.
Various exercise books were moved to the desk, can be immersed in various algorithms, and incidentally also carried out computer C language learning courses for themselves, and the little teenager gradually lost his happiness. He didn't like to learn, but he had to learn.
He got the piano level 8 certificate early, won the prize in the city's computer programming competition, the first prize in the Central Cup in mathematics, the first prize in the Hua Luogeng Gold Cup National Mathematics Invitational Competition, and then the first prize in the Hope Cup National Mathematics Invitational Competition.
Parents and teachers laughed and blossomed, but Yang Yinghao became silent. He wanted to be himself, but he didn't know what other direction he could go from, so he didn't know how to be himself.
Earlier, after paying attention to the content of each episode of "The Strongest Brain", Yang Yinghao admired the contestants' super high brainstorm, and also longed for one day, he could stand on such a stage and play an extraordinary and exciting game.
By chance, I saw the recruitment poster for "The Strongest Brain" in 2018, and the idea of moving with my heart could no longer be suppressed. If you can compete with many elites, if you can stand out and gain recognition in the field you are good at, can you find the confidence and motivation to continue to move forward? No longer hesitate, Yang Yinghao signed up for the competition.
In the initial examination of 34 places, in the "100-person Scramble Competition", Yang Yinghao faced off against a group of older brothers and sisters, and successfully won the second place in the "Mathematics Huarong Road" level and was able to advance to the top 30.
Then on February 2, "The Strongest Brain" began, and she stood out from the laser ray link with her strength, and won the title of "Light Chasing Teenager" in the cheers around her.
How big is the winner for a 14-year-old boy against a master's student in his 20s? Before the start of the competition, almost everyone was not very optimistic about Yang Yinghao, and he took the stage with Zhang Mengnan, a computer technology major at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, to compete in the lost push plate racing.
Without any delay, the two entered the memory time, only one minute, they had to memorize all the paths, and then rely on memory, reasoning, and a certain spatial imagination to spell out the correct path in a platter of 15 square sliders. There was no distraction around, and everyone concentrated on the tense competition in the field.
A minute is actually very short, seeing that Yang Yinghao is still remembering, Zhang Mengnan has begun to puzzle. But the little teenager followed close behind, and at this time the competition also added a blessing of mentality.
The first time he made a mistake, Zhang Mengnan began to be anxious, but the more urgent he was, the more wrong he was, and his mistakes were frequent. But Yang Yinghao on the side is not slow at all in the puzzle session. The movements of the hands are steady and smooth, and the final result is self-evident, and the 14-year-old wins.
To say that the most eye-catching thing on this stage should be the competition between China and foreign countries. On March 23, the first international event of the fifth season of "The Strongest Brain" kicked off.
In the Sino-US match, Yang Yinghao failed to achieve good results because of the long time, but after the encouragement of the people around him and the adjustment of himself, in the Sino-Japanese battle on April 6, Yang Yinghao was bound to be "ashamed of the snow".
At that time, his opponent was Takuji Izawa, a graduate student from the University of Tokyo, who was known as Japan's "brain god" and "king of intellectual competition". In 2014, this person also broke into the "King of The Brains" top four list, belonging to the international team of seeded players.
The other side is very powerful, but Yang Yinghao is not afraid at all. Before and after the Line of Fire showdown, Yang Yinghao said very little, did not laugh much, and seemed to have been nervous to the point of some stiffness.
From the moment the game began, the little boy immediately changed into a person. The hand is steady, the strength is more stable, calmly moving nodes, in his hands, each line seems to be supposed to intersect.
At 22:0, Taku Izawa, who had spoken wildly before the game that "we must teach people to be human", was defeated. After holding the championship firmly in his hand, Yang Yinghao showed a youthful smile.
Such an excellent child is naturally remembered by many colleges and universities. Soon, the solicitation of overseas famous schools entered the Yang family gate,
Harvard University said it is willing to conduct a specialty test for it during the non-examination period, and as long as it passes, it can come to the university after graduation. The professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States is not to be outdone, saying that he hopes that Yang Yinghao can write to him when choosing a school.
But looking at the olive branch that had been handed to the doorstep, this young and famous and gifted child was not moved. Now he is full of confidence in himself, and he has found the next way to develop himself - the information Olympiad.
After telling his family that he wanted to enter the ideal university through the normal schooling process and rely on his strength, Yang Yinghao has now taken a big step forward.
Now that the young boy is already studying at Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School, I believe that in the near future, we will also hear the news that he has achieved his wishes.
Chinese teenagers have lofty aspirations; young China, the road ahead is broad. Yang Yinghao is the epitome of countless Chinese teenagers, who are excellent, self-disciplined, set goals for themselves, and are also striving towards the goal.
When there are more and more such teenagers, the young China will become stronger and stronger. Do you think Yang Yinghao is a little genius in memory? Will he fulfill what he wants? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
