After the Spring Festival, I finally had the opportunity to visit todayZhou Kangyang, a member of the national team of the 2024 International Information Olympiad and a student from Xuejun Middle School。This young sophomore student of Hangzhou Xuejun Middle School has already been selected for the national team and qualified for Qingbei by virtue of Xinao's leading results.
I started studying Shinoku in the summer after the fifth grade, and I was very interested in it from the very beginning. When I was in elementary school, I spent my time studying on weekends, winter and summer vacations, and when I was in junior high school, I started to put a lot of energy into it. In my second year of junior high school, I won the first prize in the CSP entry level and the advanced level, the gold medal in WC and APIO, and the champion in Group A of the ISIJ (2021 International Informatics Competition for Junior High School Students). Talking about his experience of learning Xinao, Zhou Kangyang said.
Not only Xinao's study, Zhou Kangyang did not relax in the study of other subjects. In elementary school, he excelled in elementary school, and in junior high school, he was good at math, science, English, and other subjects. "I spend a lot of time every day studying for Xinao, but in the final stage and during the winter and summer vacations, I will especially strengthen the study of cultural classes. For example, in August last year, I studied mathematics in the morning and physics in the afternoon, and finished the sophomore mathematics and physics in advance.
After achieving such excellent results, Zhou Kangyang is often regarded as a "little genius", but he does not fully agree with this praise. “I feel like I have a certain amount of effort and a certain amount of talent. The help I received from other people was also important, such as coaches, parents, classmates
In the process of studying, Zhou Kangyang also encountered some obstacles, "I was very bad at constructing problems before, and it was difficult to think of solutions. But I have a senior I admire very much, named Deng Mingyang, he is very good at solving this type of problem, and when we usually do the problem, we will also refer to how he solves it. Speaking of Deng Mingyang, Zhou Kangyang couldn't help but be amazed, "He not only has excellent grades in the Olympic Games, but also has an international gold medal in mathematics competitions, and has a high level of literature and humorous speech, which is my idol." ”
Deng Mingyang is recognized as a genius in mathematics and science, and has won numerous awards along the way: Xinao and Mathematics Competition Double Science National Collection, junior high school NOI, CMO won gold, 15-year-old Qingbei exempted from the examination guarantee qualification, 16-year-old International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) gold medalist, International IOI gold medalist, 17-year-old MIT Chinese mainland only regular admission.
Talking about his dream university, Zhou Kangyang said, "Tsinghua University and Peking University, I don't think there is much difference, they are all among the best schools. But,I was a little more impressed by Peking UniversityBecause it has a deep cultural heritage。And the first time I participated was the Informatics Summer School at Peking University. ”
Outside of school,Zhou Kangyang likes to play table tennis, and will also guide the younger students of the Faith Friends team. When asked what he would like to say to his younger students, he said without hesitation: "The ability to think independently is the most important thing, and to have some opinions on the topic." ”
Although Zhou Kangyang stood at the pinnacle of the Xinao competition in China, he never gave up the pursuit of self-transcendence and excellence. This summer, he will participate in the 36th International Olympiad in Informatics in Egypt as a member of the national team. "I'll do my best! Zhou Kangyang smiled faintly.
Zhou Kangyang did not make bold statements, and did not enthusiastically describe his goals. His coach, Mr. Xu Xianyou, is very sure of the character of Ai Disciple. "Usually I see him very quietly, but he does things in an orderly and efficient way. Since his second year of junior high school, he has achieved great results every year, but he never gets carried away. He is calm on the outside, but he is very demanding of himself on the inside, and will do his best to overcome the problem. ”
Teacher Xu Xianyou has brought out 6 members of the Xinao national team, asked why he was able to become a "diamond coach" and make a horse like Zhou Kangyang gallop, he said: ".From the very beginning, I would set them very ambitious goals, and their positioning was to become the best Xinao talents in the country. The teammates around them are also very powerful, so in such a group, many children can stand out.
After the interview, both Zhou Kangyang and Mr. Xu returned to their busy training. Quiet and far-reaching, outstanding, Zhou Kangyang deserves to be the national player of Xinao. I wish him to win glory for the country and add glory to Zhejiang at the 36th International Informatics Olympiad this summer!
