[2026 宿迁市泗阳县期末]The year 2025 was special for China's world of maths. It's all because of one great woman—Wang Hong.
Wang was born in 1991 in Guilin. Her parents were both middle school teachers. She showed an unusual talent for maths at an early age. When she was just five years old, she already finished first-grade maths and went straight to second grade.
Some people think talent makes life easy. But Wang's path was far from smooth. In middle school, her grades were not good at first—she was not in the top 100. But she didn't give up. She worked very hard, and later became one of the top ten students in her grade. At the age of sixteen, she entered Peking University and learned more about maths.
In 2011, Wang went to France to study. "I felt a little lost at that time," the girl said. "I gave up on maths and studied architecture(建筑学) for six months. Then I remembered how hard I had learned maths before. I only doubted myself because my classmates were all very smart." Wang became confident again and returned to maths. She studied even harder and got her PhD at MIT(麻省理工学院).
In February 2025, Wang did something really amazing. She solved a century-old maths problem—the Kakeya conjecture(挂谷猜想). Mathematicians(数学家) all over the world were so surprised and excited! Now, Wang is a professor at two great universities.
With talent, hard work, and passion, Wang Hong is living a future bigger than her dreams.
