Who is the gifted fortune teller of Peking University?

After eight years as a monk, the gifted scholar of Peking University chose to return to the secular world. What is the reason?

/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, Mr. Liang Qichao once said that "a strong youth makes a strong country". For any country in the world, young people shoulder the future and hope and are the most powerful reserve army of the motherland and the nation. Since ancient times, countless young talents have emerged in the history of our country, and they have created brilliant achievements in different fields. In today's China, there are many talented teenagers, including Hubei prodigy Liu Zhiyu. The young man won the international Olympic gold medal twice and went to Peking University. He had a brilliant life, but when he graduated from college, he gave up the full scholarship of MIT and chose to become a monk. However, Liu Zhiyu's former loser won the Nobel Prize. After eight years of practice, Liu Zhiyu finally returned to the secular world. Why?

Genius boy Liu Zhiyu

Showed extraordinary mathematical talent from an early age.

Liu Zhiyu was born in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and his parents were intellectuals. Perhaps because of his natural intelligence, or because of his good family education, Liu Zhiyu was much smarter than ordinary children since he was a child, so he can be called a "child prodigy". Since school, Liu Zhiyu has achieved excellent results, especially in mathematics. In daily life, Liu Zhiyu doesn't like going out to play. He is always obsessed with mathematical research. Teachers in the school also found his differences, so they recommended him to study related knowledge more systematically and take an active part in various math competitions.

15 years ago, Liu Zhiyu, a sophomore, participated in the 3 1 International Mathematical Olympiad, and his motherland won a gold medal. Since then, many people have known that there is a boy with mathematical genius in Hubei. A year later, Liu Zhiyu was successfully selected for the national team and represented China in the International Mathematical Olympiad for Middle School Students. In the final stage, Liu Zhiyu played against German mathematical genius Pete Schultz, which attracted the attention of some people in the venue.

Like Liu Zhiyu, German peter schulz was gifted in mathematics from an early age. When two talented teenagers confront each other, they both hope that they can win the championship. In the end, Liu Zhiyu won the gold medal with full marks, while Pete Schultz only won the silver medal. After this game, Liu Zhiyu successfully walked to Peking University, and his opponent Pete Schultz participated in the Olympic Games again and achieved success.

A completely different life choice

In the competition 14 years ago, China teenager Liu Zhiyu defeated German genius Pete Schultz to become the winner, but a few years later, the life trajectories of the two teenagers became completely different. Peter from Germany has been continuing his studies in the field of mathematics. At the age of 24, he became a full-time professor at the University of Bonn, Germany, and won the Fields Prize at the age of 30. Because there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize, this prize won by Peter is also called "Nobel Prize in Mathematics".

At this time, when people look back on Liu Zhiyu's life choices, they are stunned by his present situation. It turns out that since he stepped into the school gate of Peking University, Liu Zhiyu has developed a strong interest in Buddhism and Zen, not only becoming a vegetarian all the year round, but also often taking part in temple activities. Near graduation, Liu Zhiyu made a major decision-to give up applying for a full scholarship from MIT and become a monk in Beijing Longquan Temple.

As the world chooses secularization.

At that time, Liu Zhiyu was bent on getting rid of the world of mortals, pursuing his inner truth and going to Purdue. No matter how people around him dissuaded him, he insisted on becoming a monk. Many people feel sorry for him and think that a generation of talented teenagers are wasting their talents by escaping into an empty net. However, unexpectedly, eight years later, Liu Zhiyu chose secularization. Because his mentor, Master Xuecheng, the abbot of Longquan Temple, was caught in a scandal, which made him shake his faith. Later, after communicating with his family, Liu Zhiyu decided to become a psychological counselor and help the world by combining science with Buddhism.

Perhaps in Liu Zhiyu's heart, what he really wants is a pure land where one can put his soul, but the reality is always unsatisfactory. In fact, each of us has the right to choose life, and others have no position to interfere. In the face of other people's choices, we should maintain due respect and understanding. Liu Zhiyu chose secularization to help the world, which is also very admirable.
