What's the number of this? " While everyone was thinking, Hua stood up and said, "23". His answer surprised the teacher and won his praise. From then on, he fell in love with mathematics.

After finishing the first grade of junior high school, Hua dropped out of school because of his poor family, so he had to stand in front of the counter for his parents, but he still insisted on teaching himself mathematics. Through his unremitting efforts, his paper "Why can't the solution of Su Jiaju's algebraic quintic equation be established" was discovered by Professor Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University, and invited him to Tsinghua University; Hua was hired as a university teacher, which is unprecedented in the history of Tsinghua University.
