Have you ever seen a young genius（天才）who wrote down her MIT dream at the age of 14 and solved world-famous Maths problems with AI at 24? Wondering what makes her journey so amazing?
Hong Letong, the post-00s from Guangzhou, has been in love with Maths since she was a kid. She joined an Olympic Maths training group in junior high. When she was only 14, she wrote “MIT” on her notebook—this brave dream kept pushing her forward. “In the world of learning Maths, I feel like I'm travelling around the world,” she once said.
During high school, she was one of the just four girls on Guangdong's top Maths team, and her great ability helped her win the Hua Luogeng Cup. At 18, she entered MIT and broke records—finishing two degrees in three years with perfect scores. She even got top prizes like the Morgan Prize, showing that her idea is true: “You have to push yourself hard to stand out.”
In 2022, she studied Neuroscience（神经科学）at Oxford with the famous Rhodes Scholarship（奖学金）. Later, she began studying for two PhD programmes at Stanford. But she bravely
quit both to start her company Axiom Maths in 2024, aiming to build an AI model that doesn't just “guess” Maths answers, but gives solutions that can be checked as true. “Maths is the best way to test smart AI,” she told a news group, explaining her big plan.
In just four amazing months, her team's AI model solved two Erdos problems—super tough Maths questions that troubled experts（专家）for 30 and 45 years!
Hong's story is full of good ideas. “Loving Maths is like seeing something wonderful,” she writes on her social media. Your age, your birthplace, or how things usually are—none of these can stop you if you love what you do. And this young girl is a good example of that!
