On Sunday, the day of the National High School Mathematics Competition, the event was held at Quan State No.1 Middle School, with participants entering the venue by presenting their competition cards.
Lan Jin, holding the competition card Wei Jiu had gotten for her, entered No.1 Middle School without any obstacles and headed straight for the examination room.
The campus was bustling with people, a testament to the impressive number of competitors.
As it was a national competition, the contestants naturally came from various high schools, each of them carefully selected elites, representatives of their schools' mathematics departments.
The majority were boys, with girls being a rare sight.
After all, girls tend to be more sensitive to language than boys, while boys have stronger scientific thinking—and by quite a margin.
Of course, that's not an absolute truth!
Take Lan Jin, for example, she's strong both in the humanities and sciences.
