Liu Zhiyu is a "mathematical genius" at Peking University, with an IQ of more than 280 points, while the average person's IQ is only 90 to 110 points. As early as 2005, when Liu Zhiyu was 17 years old, he won the gold medal in the 31st International Mathematical Olympiad Round-robin with a perfect score.
In 2006, Liu Zhiyu won the gold medal in the International Mathematics Olympiad for Middle School Students. In the same year, Liu Zhiyu was escorted to study in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University.
When Liu Zhiyu graduated from Peking University in 2010, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States with excellent grades and could enjoy a full scholarship.
However, Liu Zhiyu gave up fame and fortune in the red dust and chose to go to Longquan Temple in Xishan, Beijing to become a monk, which caused heated discussions on the whole network.
Liu Zhiyu has always been the pride and pride of his parents, and his parents couldn't accept his choice, so they were heartbroken and entangled for many years ......
Yoo Ji-woo's childhood).
Liu Zhiyu was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province in 1988, his father Liu Chaomei is a physics teacher at the High School Affiliated to China Normal University, and his mother is an engineer.
Liu Chaomei has brought out many students who won gold medals and first prizes in the Physics Olympiad, so she also has high expectations for her son Liu Zhiyu. Liu Chaomei always thinks so: If I can bring out other people's children, I will definitely be able to bring out my own son.
Therefore, Liu Zhiyu's childhood and adolescence were spent in intense competition and competition. When Yoo Ji-woo was in elementary school, his parents didn't let him go out to play, and locked him at home to study and do his homework.
Yoo Ji-woo took classes for a day during the day and studied at home at night.
For three or four hours, I was very tired inside. He often said to his mother pitifully: Let me go out to play for 10 minutes, will it be okay for 10 minutes?
Mother blocked the door: Not for a minute, I can't let you lose at the starting line. Son, the competition is so fierce now, if you don't work hard since you were a child, you won't be able to get into a good university in the future, and you will be humble for the rest of your life.
Yoo Ji Woo) mother pulled the tearful Yoo Ji Woo to the desk, and then stayed by her son's side. Even if she is stir-frying in the kitchen, she has to go to the study every two minutes to supervise her son.
Yoo Ji-woo is good at math and gets a perfect score in every exam. The math teacher said to the Liu family's parents many times: Your son is amazing, his IQ is too high, and he is not an ordinary person when he grows up.
The Liu family's parents were polite in their mouths, and they had a beautiful vision in their hearts. Because they attached too much importance to their son's future, their parents were willing to pay for Yoo Ji-woo.
After graduating from primary school in 2001, Liu Zhiyu was admitted to Wuhan Wuluo Road Middle School with excellent results. Because of his top math, Liu Zhiyu was placed in the school's mathematics group, and there were often teachers who opened small stoves.
Yoo Ji-woo's alma mater).
The school is located on the shore of Tangxun Lake in Wuhan, and his mother was not worried about Liu Zhiyu, so she rented a room near the school to accompany her.
She told her son: You just have to study, get good grades in exams, and don't care about anything else. Liu's mother lives in the accompanying room, does laundry and cooking for her son, and communicates with the teacher.
The son studied on his own at night, and his mother was worried that Liu Zhiyu was hungry and would send him something delicious. Because Liu's mother often goes in and out of the school, the teacher teaches her "building management" behind her back.
Yoo Ji-woo's father attended school during the day and went home at night. In order to cultivate Liu Zhiyu, his parents live separately in Wuhan, and they can only be reunited on weekends, and people around them call them "weekend couples".

In 2004, Liu Zhiyu was admitted to the First Affiliated High School of Central China Normal University, a famous school in Wuhan. Since Yoo Ji-woo rarely goes out, he has no friends, and his personality is relatively introverted and not good at communicating with people.
At the request of his parents, he devoted himself to studying and lacked exercise, resulting in a very poor physique and thick glasses. He was often sick, and when he had a cold, he took Chinese medicine and Western medicine in a row.
The parents would rather let Liu Zhiyu take medicine than let him spend some time exercising, for fear that their son would delay his studies. Therefore, during high school, Liu Zhiyu lived a three-point life of family, school, and hospital.
Yoo Ji-woo shows the gold medal he won).
In 2005, Liu Zhiyu participated in the 31st International Mathematical Olympiad held in Russia and won the gold medal with a perfect score, which was the only gold medal won by the Chinese delegation.
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) was held for the first time in July 1959 and has been held annually since then.
The first time China organized a team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad was in 1985, each team was composed of 6 students, and the test questions of the competition were also 6.
The competition is played over two days, with 4 consecutive days per day5 hours, 3 questions, each question is 7 points, and the full score is 42 points. The contestants who can participate in this level of competition are all mathematical geniuses, and the winners are even more geniuses among geniuses.

Liu Zhiyu's return from winning gold caused a sensation in the school, and Wuhan ** reported on Liu Zhiyu in detail with the title of "Wuhan has a mathematical genius".
Liu Chaomei and his wife have also become the envy of the people around them, and others praise them when they see them: You have given birth to a good son, and you will be famous and make a lot of money in the future!
Parents nurture their children, and the ultimate result is not to hope that their children will be successful?Many parents have worked hard, but the children are mediocre, and Liu Chaomei and his wife feel that all their efforts are worth it.
Liu Zhiyu became the pride of the First High School of China Normal University, and after winning the gold with a perfect score, Liu Zhiyu was exhausted and did not want to participate in such competitions in the future. But the teacher disagreed, and took turns to do work for him: so many teachers serve you, you must be more and more courageous, and your alma mater still relies on you to fight for face!
Liu Zhiyu's parents did not agree, hoping that their son would win more gold medals. His mother said to him: Since you were in elementary school, your life and I have revolved around you, we are working hard, and there is no reason for you to stagnate.
Liu Zhiyu's heart is often in contradiction and struggle, his lenses are getting thicker and thicker, his body is getting weaker and weaker, and as long as he cools down, he will catch a cold.
Under all kinds of pressure, Liu Zhiyu participated in the mathematics winter camp held in Wuhan, and was subsequently selected into the Hubei Provincial Training Team.
The homework in high school is heavy enough, and it takes a lot of energy to go to the training team, and there is a time cost to go back and forth, and Liu Zhiyu is quite hard.
Yoo Ji-woo's student days).
In addition to Liu Zhiyu, 5 students from the First High School Affiliated to China Normal University were selected for the Hubei Provincial Training Team. Because he was too tired, the other 5 children all quit halfway, and Liu Zhiyu was also very tired, and proposed to his mother to quit the training team as well.
The parents resolutely refused: how can this be done?If you give up now, your previous efforts will be in vain. Liu Zhiyu didn't want his parents to worry, so he had to hold on. When leaving the training team and taking the bus back to school, Yoo Ji-woo often broke down and burst into tears.
The boy is at the age of youth, but Yoo Ji-woo, who is dedicated to learning, is thin, pale, and wears thick myopic glasses, looking like a little old man.
In 2006, Liu Zhiyu was selected for the national team of the Mathematics Olympiad. In the spring of this year, Liu Zhiyu represented the national team in the International Mathematics Olympiad for Middle School Students and won the gold medal again.
The first high school attached to China Normal School was boiling, and the parents of the Liu family were even more excited to tears. The two Olympiad gold medals proved that Yoo Zhiyu was good enough.
In 2006, Liu Zhiyu did not take the college entrance examination and was sent to the Department of Mathematics of Peking University. Children from ordinary families can go to Peking University, which is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of success with one foot.
When the admission letter from Peking University was sent home, Liu Zhiyu cried, and his parents also cried, but the taste of tears in the two generations was completely different.
Yoo Ji-woo in high school).
The mathematics department of Peking University is basically a genius, and Liu Zhiyu did not show the huge advantage of his high school years, which made him a little disappointed.
In the first semester of his freshman year, Liu Zhiyu suffered from severe insomnia, and he could barely fall asleep at 3 o'clock in the morning every day, but his deep sleep was only about 1 hour.
As a result, he was dizzy during the day. Due to excessive use of his eyes and brain, Liu Zhiyu also suffers from serious eye diseases. His eyes can't read for half an hour straight, otherwise the pain will be unbearable, and he won't be able to recover for a few days.
During class, Yoo Ji-woo often closes his eyes, listens by ear, and cannot take notes.
In the first semester of his freshman year, Liu Zhiyu studied on his own in high school, and the exam was not a big problem, but he only scored 75 points in the final mathematical analysis.
In the second semester, Liu Zhiyu had not studied a lot of homework on his own before, and with serious eye diseases, he struggled to study. The class leader would spare two hours a week to help him work on the problem together.
More often, because Yoo Ji-woo has too strong self-esteem, he is reluctant to ask his classmates for advice. Therefore, from the second semester onwards, Yoo Ji-woo's grades were mediocre.
Yoo Ji-woo's pride was lost and he fell into boundless loss. But Liu Zhiyu has compassion in his bones and the ambition of purifying all sentient beings, and he feels that he is not at the same level as his classmates around him, just like putting a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage. In this way, Yoo Ji-woo has no friends and looks extremely lonely.
So, Liu Zhiyu joined the Zen Society of Peking University. Here, Yoo Ji-woo met a senior sister who spoke softly, smoothing the scars in his heart like a spring breeze.
The senior sister's smile revealed calmness, which made Liu Zhiyu's heart and spirit very iron. But after graduating from graduate school, my sister went to teach at Xi'an University, and there has been no contact since.
Speaking of his senior sister, Liu Zhiyu shed tears. All this shows that Yoo Ji-woo is emotionally attached to his senior sister.
After the senior sister left Peking University, Liu Zhiyu left the Zen Society and joined the Peking University Cultivation and Reading Society. President Meng Xianglan asked Liu Zhiyu to serve as vice president. Here, Liu Zhiyu was exposed to traditional Chinese culture, as well as Buddhism.
Unexpectedly, the first two presidents of the Cultivation and Reading Society were both monks, and later Liu Zhiyu also became a monk, which is incomprehensible.

In the Cultivation and Reading Society, Liu Zhiyu came up with the idea of becoming a monk. Worried that his parents would be sad, Liu Zhiyu returned to Wuhan during the winter and summer vacations and did not reveal it.
Big. In his third and fourth years, Yoo Ji-woo had a hard time learning things, and he felt that his hope of becoming a mathematician in his life was almost zero. Mathematics can no longer be the way for Liu Zhiyu to practice, and his desire to become a monk is getting stronger and stronger.
In May 2010, Yoo Ji-woo was about to graduate from university, and he wanted to become a monk as soon as he graduated. But then he thought about it: such an outside world would discuss the rights and wrongs of Peking University, and he was worried that his parents would not be able to accept it, so he postponed his plan to become a monk.
Once, Liu's parents saw their son's diary written by their son on the computer and knew that Liu Zhiyu had the idea of becoming a monk. His parents cried and begged him, hoping that he would not go to the temple again in the future, and that after graduating from university, he would either go to graduate school or join a job.
In order to make his parents happy, Liu Zhiyu signed up for the TOEFL test, and his parents were very happy and helped him apply for registration online.
Before the exam, Yoo Ji-woo stayed up all night and often had unbearable headaches when he studied. As a result, he received an excellent TOEFL score and was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, where he was able to enjoy a full scholarship.
When the good news came, the Liu family's parents cried with joy. In July 2010, Liu Zhiyu graduated from Peking University, and his parents were packing his luggage for him to study in the United States in September.
When Yoo Ji-woo communicated with a teacher at MIT online, he said that he wanted to become a monk. As a result, ** learned the news and made a report. After Liu Chaomei and his wife learned about this from the Internet, they almost broke down.
They rushed to Beijing with tears in their eyes, choked up and said: If you want to become a monk, this life will be ruined, and there is no point in us living. His parents cried and begged Yoo Zhiyu to study in the United States with peace of mind.

Seeing that his parents were too sad, Liu Zhiyu followed his parents back to Wuhan and pretended to obey his parents' arrangements. A few days later, Liu Zhiyu left Wuhan for Beijing, and his parents planned to hold a thank-you banquet before their son left the country. They sent invitations to teachers and booked hotels, and the teachers happily waited for Yoo Zhiyu's thank-you banquet.
However, in September 2010, Liu Zhiyu gave up the opportunity to study abroad and went to Longquan Temple in Xishan, Beijing, to become a monk, and took the Dharma name Xianyu.
After the news of Liu Zhiyu's renunciation**, it sparked heated discussions on the whole network, and many people speculated that he had emotional problems and became a disheartened monk. Some netizens criticized Peking University and reflected on the shortcomings of the current education system.
Liu Chaomei and his wife collapsed and despaired, and the teachers who were waiting for the thank-you banquet were also disappointed. Liu Chaomei and his wife didn't dare to go out, otherwise someone would point fingers behind their backs.

They were also pitiful in the unit, and the couple used to be respected, but now they are ridiculed. Someone deliberately angered them: Why should the child be so smart?The smarter, the worse. Ordinary children go to work and get married normally, and their parents are very happy. Such words cut the hearts of Liu Chaomei and his wife like a knife.
In mid-October, Liu Chaomei and his wife came to Longquan Temple and asked their son to go home with them. Liu Zhiyu was reluctant to see his parents, and Liu Chaomei and his wife waited for two days and two nights before Liu Zhiyu came out to meet them.
Liu Zhiyu's grandmother was not in good health, so she called him and said that she wanted to see him. In this case, Liu Zhiyu followed his parents back to Wuhan.
Grandma and parents cried and begged Liu Zhiyu to stay in Wuhan, but he was determined to go, and despite the tears of his relatives, he returned to Longquan Temple two days later.

Liu Chaomei and his wife have no sunshine in their lives since then, they are anxious and insomnia, and they are full of ridicule from the outside world, and they are much older.
Since 2011, Yoo Ji-woo has never returned home. Liu Chaomei and his wife went to visit him in the temple, and every time they cried from Wuhan to Beijing and from Beijing to Wuhan. Every day they spend their days in heartache and entanglement.
However, Yoo Ji-woo's life at the temple was not satisfactory, and he first lived in a room with eight monks, and then with more than 10 people. These monks are very difficult to get along with, and often exclude Liu Zhiyu and create difficulties for him in life.
Yoo Ji Woo's heart couldn't be calm, which was contrary to his original intention of becoming a monk, and Yoo Ji Woo became more and more disappointed.
In 2018, Yoo Ji-woo left the temple and entered society as a monk, publishing some Buddhist works.
Liu Zhiyu) At this time, Liu Zhiyu's physical condition is worrying, the whole person is extremely thin, and he has been suffering from huge mental torture, feeling that he has pushed his parents into the abyss of grief. After struggling again and again, he decided to return to the world.
Before the Spring Festival in 2022, Liu Zhiyu informed his parents of his thoughts in **, and Liu Chaomei and his wife were so excited that their voices trembled: Son, we are waiting for you to go home!
Then the couple rushed to Beijing and took their son back to Wuhan. Liu Zhiyu has been recuperating at home for more than half a year, and his parents still love him as they did when he was a child, but they no longer put any pressure on him.
In 2023, Liu Zhiyu came to Beijing to work hard and cooperated with a psychological consulting company to establish a business department. He served as minister and had more than 10 staff members under his command.
The man who works is the most handsome)
Yoo Ji-woo and Yu Min-hong).
Liu Zhiyu said, I am like a tree, it grows slowly, it has experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter).
Their office is located in an office building in Zhongguancun, Haidian District, which is small in size and simple in decoration. Yoo Ji-woo's complexion was much better than before, and his face had a healthy flush. He held his mobile phone and communicated enthusiastically with his employees.
Liu Zhiyu revealed that he is married, and his wife is also a foreigner, kind-hearted, and likes Buddhism. Liu Zhiyu has no plans to conceive a baby for the time being, and decided to make some achievements in his career first, and then become a father.
The son finally returned to a normal life, which is the most gratifying and happiest thing for Liu Chaomei and his wife.
They no longer raise their requirements for their son, they don't expect him to get ahead, they don't expect him to make a lot of money. As long as the son can work normally, get married and have children, they will be content!
