For the first time participating, although there were many surprises, Vi Dong Dich won the Gold Medal with a perfect score. In the plane geometry question, which was the most difficult part of the test, he easily solved it by ordinary algebraic methods.
In the 2nd time competing at IMO, Vi Dong Dich still achieved an outstanding achievement as the championship. Besides, he also surpassed the legendary Tao Zhexuan – who taught himself calculus at the age of 7 and won the IMO Gold Medal at the age of 12. In a decisive round, it took Tao Zhenxuan 7 hours to find the answer, while it took him only 1 hour.
In 2010, Vi Dong Dich was recruited directly into the Department of Mathematics of Peking University – which is famous for its top quality in the country. After that, this genius continued to make a big splash with his excellent performance in the “Yau Chengtong University Student Math Exam” in 2013.
It is a large-scale Mathematics competition, held regularly in China, which has attracted more than 12,000 university students from more than 600 universities in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan since its inception. . The Yau Chengtong University Math Competition has always played an important role in cultivating Chinese mathematical talent. Through this competition, many young math talents are discovered and selected.
Here, Vi Dong Dich won four gold medals and one silver medal in a total of five competitions. At the same time, he also “holding” the Comprehensive Individual Award in that year’s Yau Chengtong Competition. It can be said that he has crushed the main rivals of the North from Tsinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China.
Vi Dongyi received a bachelor’s degree from Peking University in 2014, a doctorate degree in 2018, a postdoctoral fellow at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research from 2017 to 2019, and stayed at the university later. December 2019 as assistant professor.
The former teacher said that he had been invited by Harvard University to study for a doctorate but refused.
A former teacher of Vi Dong Dich revealed that he once turned down an attractive offer from Harvard University when they wanted to invite him to study for a doctoral degree without taking the entrance exam.
