Yangtze River Daily, July 25 News Recently, the results of the 62nd International Mathematical Olympiad and the 51st International Physics Olympiad have been released. In the International Mathematical Olympiad, all six players of the Chinese team won gold medals and won the first place in the overall score of the team with a score of 208 points, and Xia Yuxing, a student from the First Affiliated Middle School of Huashi, won the gold medal as the only participant in Hubei. In the International Physics Olympiad, all five members of the Chinese team won gold medals, and Ma Yinghao, a student from the First Affiliated Middle School of the Chinese Normal University, won the gold medal as the only participant in Hubei. The two students won the honor for the motherland with their outstanding performance and excellent results.
Both students expressed their desire to take root in basic discipline research in the future and dedicate their strength to the strength of scientific research in the motherland. Zhou Pengcheng, principal of Huashi No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, said that he hoped that the two students could carry the feelings of home and country, dedicate their strength to the motherland, the nation and the world in the future development, and become innovative talents who can lead the development of the future world.

Xia Yuxing: He will devote himself to the research of basic disciplines and shoulder the responsibility and mission
Xia Yuxing said that he has a strong desire to explore the basic discipline of mathematics, and he also wants to engage in research in basic disciplines in the future, linking his future with the future of the country.
Xia Yuxing's head coach Ye Xinnian introduced that Xia Yuxing was twice selected for the mathematics national training team in 2019 and 2020. In the two-stage selection activity of the 62nd IMO China National Team in 2021, Xia Yuxing was successfully selected for the 62nd IMO China National Team composed of six people with outstanding performance. Xia Yuxing is currently being sent to Yao Ban at Tsinghua University.

"Xia Yuxing's biggest feature is calmness, calmness, and self-discipline that his peers do not have." Xiong Li, Xia Yuxing's class teacher, said that Xia Yuxing has a clear goal and belief in his heart, and no matter what kind of achievements he has achieved, he is "calm". Some students will relax their requirements for learning because they have guaranteed top universities, but Xia Yuxing will not, he believes that guarantee is just a new starting point and a new beginning. In the face of the immediate goal and 'peak', he will cultivate his internal skills step by step, which many adults do not have. ”
Xia Yuxing has the advantage of super self-control, and coach Ye Xinnian is also deeply touched. He said that when selecting the competition seedlings, he had a deep conversation with his parents, and a sentence from Xia Yuxing's mother made the coach remember vividly, "She said that even if xia Yuxing was given a computer, he would not play games, and any external interference would not interrupt the learning process he set for himself." It was also Xia's mother's words that completely impressed Coach Ye, "Willpower and concentration are the internal strengths that students must have in competitions, and with this spiritual quality, there are more possibilities for achievements."
Xia Yuxing said that he had only been exposed to the study of mathematics competitions since the second year of junior high school, and he rarely participated in Peiyou in primary schools, and the learning atmosphere of his family was relatively relaxed. Since he was a child, his life has been very regular, getting up at 7:30 in the morning at the latest, thundering, not used to driving night trains in school, and has always maintained his own rhythm. In mathematical learning, Xia Yuxing is a "perfectionist", and has quite strict self-requirements for the expression and logic of mathematical language when solving problems. Coach Ye said that watching Xia Yuxing's problem solving process is a kind of enjoyment, which is also the advantage of his achievements in the competition.
Talking about his goals and dreams, Xia Yuxing was very modest, he said that he would respond to the call of the state, devote himself to the study of basic disciplines, and shoulder the responsibility and mission of young people to the country.
Ma Yinghao: He is the "little brother" in the class, who is willing to share the learning results
The reporter learned that Ma Yinghao was nicknamed "Little Brother Ma" by other students in the class, and the class teacher Xu Guangming said that Ma Yinghao not only studied in-depth and solid physics himself, but also was very willing to share his physics learning methods and achievements in the class, often gave questions to the students to answer questions, and once taught an open class on physics in the class.
Team coach Lu Zhixiang said that Ma Yinghao has a stable personality, not only learning steadily, but also self-learning ability, high learning efficiency, theoretical and experimental training are very in place, but also in a relatively short period of time to absorb university physics content, and finally achieve excellent results.

Assistant coach Li Zhiqiang introduced that Ma Yinghao's learning speed is not the fastest, but after learning the same book, his learning depth is the best. Secondly, his learning quality is very good, good at planning and reflecting on his own learning, for example, before the competition, he will take the initiative to sort out the knowledge points, organize them into documents, and be shared by the teacher as an example to other students. In addition, his learning efficiency is also very high, and he never engages in fatigue warfare.
When sharing his learning experience, Ma Yinghao said that the biggest help for him in physics competitions is to exercise his thinking ability and learning ability. "Physical competitions are a big challenge for an individual's ability to think. Many knowledge points need to be well understood before they can be applied, and many topics also require a deeper understanding, and the process of understanding and how to solve these problems requires your thinking ability. Ma Yinghao said that physics competitions also have certain requirements for individual learning ability. As a middle school student, it is very challenging to take the initiative to study some university courses. Reading books by yourself, listening to instructors, communicating with classmates, brushing up on practice questions, and participating in some of the usual tests are all necessary ways to learn. At the same time, it is also a very important thing to find a learning method that suits you, persevere, and resolutely implement it. Ma Yinghao is good at independent thinking, in the learning process, he will first read books and ponder, encounter places that do not understand, focus on listening to the teacher's explanation, and ask the views of classmates.
Ma Yinghao also has a wide range of interests, listening to music, playing basketball, watching favorite movies, paying attention to the combination of work and leisure. He said that without too much pressure during the exam, you can have a good attitude and play your due level.
