1985, Ge Jun, a simple rural boy, graduated from a remote middle school in Nantong, Jiangsu. At that time, young Ge Jun secretly promised to become an excellent middle school teacher after graduating from college, so that more rural children like him could change their destiny through education.

After graduating from high school, Ge Jun went to Nanjing Normal University to study. Nanjing has been an important place for education since ancient times. In modern times, there were not only Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a great educator who made pioneering contributions to China's educational modernization, but also Mr. Chen Heqin, an educator who laid the foundation for modern early childhood education in China. In this strong educational atmosphere, Ge Jun has a deeper understanding of the field of education.

So, after graduating from college, Ge Jun chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination and study for a PhD, and stayed on as a teacher in the School of Mathematics of Nanjing Normal University. He has done a great job in mathematics research, and his next career path is nothing more than associate professor-professor-doctoral tutor, which is admirable enough.

However, Ge Jun abandoned all this, because he remembered his promise in middle school. In 2004, Ge Jun gave up his university position and resolutely applied for the post of president of the private experimental school affiliated to Nanjing Normal University. In this way, he stayed there for six years

Personal glory

1990, the 3rd1International Mathematical Olympiad was held in Beijing. This competition is of great significance, not only in China, but also in Asia. At that time, our country had no experience in hosting large-scale international competitions, and many countries seemed ready to watch us make a fool of ourselves at home.

At that time, chinese mathematical society set his eyes on the Mathematics Department of Nanjing Normal University, hoping that they could undertake the training of this training team. This is a hard job for others. If you succeed, you won't get a raise. If you fail, you will take responsibility.

Ge Jun, who can teach in the Department of Mathematics of Nanjing Normal University, accepted this chore without hesitation and became the head teacher of the training team. He and Professor Shan _ invested countless time and energy, not only to look through countless materials, but also to design examination questions and exercises for the training team members to learn, and at the same time to take care of their daily lives.

On July 12 of the same year, Ge Jun took six members of the training team and competed with 308 players from 54 countries in mathematics. Finally, he crushed the scores of other countries by 230 and won the first place in the Mathematical Olympics. This math contest created the most brilliant legend in the history of China math contest.
