In the vast northern land of our great motherland, in the magnificent picture scroll of Inner Mongolia, there lives such a simple and ordinary herdsman family - the Pan family.
When the time was frozen in the warm spring of 2001, the unborn Pan family gave birth to a new life in their family, a little princess named Pan Jing.
As a newborn, Pan Jing undoubtedly enjoyed the deep love and ardent expectations of her parents, but at that time, who could have imagined that this little life would embark on a magnificent and extraordinary life journey?
In stark contrast to the abrupt change in the current situation, there is no doubt that the complex emotions in the hearts of the family members. However, as parents, their only wish is that their baby daughter Pan Jing can receive a comprehensive education and have a broader development space in the future.
In order to support the family's livelihood, Pan Jing's parents decided to open a small restaurant in the local area, and rely on hard work to maintain the family's daily expenses.
It was in this seemingly unremarkable environment that Pan Jing showed her unusual talent for the first time. It all stems from a unique hobby course, the Abacus Mental Arithmetic Course, which paved a completely different path for Pan Jing's life path.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Pan Jing has entered the school-age stage and started her formal journey of knowledge. By chance, Pan Jing came into contact with and participated in a very unique hobby course - mental arithmetic.
Mental arithmetic is a long-standing method of calculation, which mainly relies on operating abacus for calculation. For many children, the abacus is an unfamiliar and boring tool that often struggles to arouse their interest and patience.
However, Pan Jing broke this routine with amazing concentration. Although the teacher only briefly introduced the basic use of the abacus, Pan Jing, who was only 6 years old, stared at the abacus for 30 minutes with great seriousness.
Her big bright and intelligent eyes stared at each bead on the abacus, and her little hands moved back and forth flexibly on the abacus, and her expression was as focused as if she had become a little adult.
Any experienced teacher, after many years of teaching, can perceive the extraordinary talent in this performance of the students. As expected, Pan Jing's mental arithmetic teacher immediately keenly captured the huge potential contained in this 4-year-old girl.
As an outstanding expert in the field of education, how could he miss such a precious child? This respected teacher immediately approached Pan Jing's parents and sincerely and solemnly proposed to them that he hoped to be Pan Jing's tutor in the field of mental arithmetic.
For ordinary parents, they may not fully understand the profound mystery of mental arithmetic, but when they find out that their daughter has such an amazing talent, their hearts are undoubtedly full of excitement and joy.
So in that special year, Pan Jing, who was only four years old, officially embarked on her journey of mental arithmetic practice and opened a new chapter in her life. Since then, Pan Jing has devoted herself to the wonderful world of abacus and calculation like a hungry person rushing to bread.
Her otherworldly talent was fully developed under the careful cultivation of her teacher, and she shone brighter and brighter.
Time flies, time flies, Pan Jing's excellent results in various mental arithmetic competitions have amazed everyone. In 2006, at the age of five, Pan Jing challenged the highest level of mental arithmetic for the first time - the annual finals, known as the "peak of genius".
Although she unfortunately finished second in the end, Pan Jing's outstanding talent in the competition still made many expert judges present full of praise and amazement.
Pan Jing's unparalleled arithmetic ability and extraordinary talent have naturally attracted the attention of the most prestigious people in today's mental arithmetic world. Among them, Mr. Wang Weida, the president of the Abacus Mental Arithmetic Association, is one of them.
As the leader of the abacus business, Chairman Wang has a keen insight into real talents, and Pan Jing's outstanding performance on the field has deeply impressed him.
In addition to the position of president of the Abacus Mental Arithmetic Association, Mr. Wang Weida also serves as the chairman of the "Abacus Special Forces". In the face of such an outstanding genius girl, he has extremely high expectations for Pan Jing.
However, it is too bizarre to include a six-year-old girl in the ranks of the special forces, which is unprecedented within the rules and regulations of the army.
In the face of the doubts of his subordinates, Mr. Wang Weida did not rush to recruit Pan Jing under his command, but decided to first let her pass the actual combat assessment and prove her strength with practical actions.
So in 2007, an eight-round fierce knockout tournament began.
In this fiery eight-round competition, Pan Jing stood out with her extraordinary arithmetic ability, bravely broke through many levels, and finally succeeded in becoming the leader of this assessment, winning a precious opportunity to participate in the selection of reservists.
For Wang Weida, this is just a new starting point for Pan Jing to officially set sail and step into the door of the abacus special forces.
Taking a new step, Pan Jing is about to face more severe training challenges and level assessments. Under the expectant gaze of all the team members, this six-year-old "prodigy" has gone through a thousand tempers and finally officially joined the ranks of the "abacus special forces" and has become the youngest and youngest "officer" in history! The audience all applauded and cheered for her.
It is a jaw-dropping miracle that a six-year-old girl can be admitted to such a rigorous special forces by virtue of her amazing intelligence and numeracy talents.
In fact, the application value of mental arithmetic in the military field is immeasurable. In today's era of rapid technological change, the power to destroy a country no longer relies only on traditional military means, economic warfare, trade wars, cyber attacks and other invisible strikes can also cause fatal damage to the enemy.
Once a computer host is hacked and the computer system is paralyzed, the entire country's information-based weapons will lose their combat effectiveness in an instant. It is precisely because of this that the abacus special forces are known as the "trump card weapon" of the mainland military.
Imagine an extreme situation in which a computer system cannot be activated due to an attack on the network, and even if we know the exact location of the enemy, it is difficult for the intelligence of the human brain to deliver a precision missile strike.
For the abacus special combat team members who are good at using the abacus to calculate, this is not as difficult as the sky. With the help of the unique calculation method of mental arithmetic, they can accurately calculate the flight trajectory, altitude and distance of the shell, so as to achieve accurate target hitting.
In fact, as early as the Second World War, our army repeatedly used such combat tactics. There is a well-known story about how one of our troops fell into a passive situation under the suppression of artillery fire at that time, and was forced to huddle up in a position and was unable to fight back.
At this critical moment, a skilled reasoning and abacus expert, through lightning-fast mental arithmetic skills, calculated the sniper angle of the enemy's artillery with incomparably accuracy, and guided our heroic and fearless artillery in the direction of accurate fire support! This scene successfully reversed the situation on the battlefield, which can be called thrilling, and its blood-boiling scene is simply indescribable!
Examples of actual combat like this are not uncommon, which also fully verifies the indisputable particularity and strong combat effectiveness of the abacus special forces.
