This is the narration at the beginning of the announcement of Peking University, which shows how difficult and lucky it is to be admitted to Peking University.
Peking University compares itself to a ladder, a ladder to help students realize their dreams-"Star Picking". More children regard Peking University as the cradle to change their destiny.
Many people, especially Tsinghua and Peking University, study hard day and night in order to get into a good university. Because they graduated from Tsinghua, Peking University is definitely a dazzling star on their resumes, and they will have a better future.
However, in 2006, Liu Zhiyu, a mathematical genius, was sent to the Mathematics Department of Peking University with the gold medal of the International Mathematical Olympiad. After that, he gave up the full scholarship of MIT and went to Beijing Longquan Temple to become a monk, leaving a sentence that "learning mathematics can't save the world" for the world to taste slowly.
First, prodigy Liu Zhiyu.
Liu Zhiyu comes from a knowledge family. His father is a physics teacher and his mother is an engineer. Influenced by his parents, Liu Zhiyu was particularly interested in mathematics since he was a child, and he often learned from difficulties.
One weekend in the fourth grade, he went to a math training class and worked out a difficult math problem. He tried to work out one or two problems slowly. But instead of feeling a little depressed, he felt full of wisdom. Every time he does something well, he has a great sense of accomplishment.
In middle school, Liu Zhiyu was selected to the training team because of his extraordinary talent in mathematics. In 2005, he won a gold medal for China in the 3 1 International Mathematical Olympiad.
Then, in the 47th International Mathematical Olympiad in 2006, Liu Zhiyu stood out from the six contestants, won the gold medal with full marks, and was sent to the Mathematics Department of Peking University.
His high school teacher said, "I have been teaching brain flexibility all my life. This is the first person. " Ten years later, Yu Shiping, the coach of high school math competition, will still give Liu Zhiyu a thumbs up.
Second, becoming a monk from Peking University.
While studying at Peking University, Liu Zhiyu still got excellent grades in all subjects, not only graduated smoothly, but also won a full scholarship from MIT before graduation. Unfortunately, in 20 10, he ignored his parents' cries and embarked on a road that was not understood by the world, and went to Beijing Longquan Temple to get a haircut and become a monk.
It is no accident that Liu Zhiyu chose to become a monk.
After going to college, although Liu Zhiyu's math scores are still among the best, he has gradually lost interest in math. In the teacher's eyes, he should do better. To this end, the tutor Ma Xiang talked to him.
However, Liu Zhiyu's answer surprised the tutor. He said, "Learning math can't save the world." .
In the winter of freshman year, Liu Zhiyu joined the Zen Society of Peking University.
In the Zen club, he met a senior in the art department and was refreshed. Every noon, he would invite his senior to the canteen for dinner, and he felt that his long-standing loneliness in front of his senior suddenly settled down.
Elder sister taught him to sing Buddhist songs, took him into Guanglun's class, and volunteered at Longquan Temple in Beijing last semester.
After many volunteer activities in Longquan Temple, Liu Zhiyu made up his mind to become a monk.
After graduating from college, under the expectation of everyone, he went to Longquan Temple to become a monk, whose legal name was Xianyu.
Liu Zhiyu's parents cried bitterly, but his mother was seriously ill, which still prevented him from becoming a monk. My father has been interviewed several times and his expression is erratic. He doesn't believe this is true.
"I have read his articles and know that all his thoughts are going deep into the ultimate problem at once, so I can understand that he chose to convert to religion as his destination. However, there are many ways to practice, but unfortunately his choice is so thorough and decisive. " Jiang, the school sister, said to him.
3. 10 years have passed, and now?
At first, Liu Zhiyu's parents strongly opposed becoming a monk, but as time went on, they gradually accepted this fact. Occasionally, their parents will stay in Longquan Temple for a period of time and read the scriptures with him.
However, just when the world thought that Liu Zhiyu had broken away from the worldly bondage and stopped thinking about money, fame and fortune, work, family and all kinds of things, he came down from Longquan Temple in 20 18, walked out of the temple, went down to join the WTO, and began to "purdue all beings".
And at the end of 20 17, with the support of my mother, I obtained the third-level psychological consultant license, hoping to open a "Buddhist psychological consultation" after going down the mountain, which can save the souls of the world.
Everyone has the right to choose life, no matter what choice he makes, he must be responsible for his actions! No matter why Liu Zhiyu went down the mountain again, Xiaomi Sauce thought that "getting lost is also a hero". I hope he can find a good place to put his soul in the world!
