The first thing Su Yutong did after waking up was turn over that math test paper with a score of thirty-two and start writing her name on the back. She remembered everyone who had stolen her university application form in her previous life, deliberately kept her mother’s illness from her, or pulled strings and traded favors to manipulate academic resources. Not one of them would get away.
Back then, she was still ranked last in her class. When she announced in front of everyone that she would make the top ten, all around her were faces struggling to hold back their laughter. No one knew that this girl huddled in the corner had decades of future academic knowledge in her head, along with the foresight of a future Nobel laureate. From the first row of the classroom to the last, from a tiny school campus all the way to the international academic world, she brought every old score to light and settled it face-to-face. Later, that test paper with the score of thirty-two was placed on display in the Nobel Museum, beside Marie Curie’s notes. When someone muttered that getting a score like that was humiliating, she replied, “There’s no shame in getting thirty-two. The shame is thinking that thirty-two is the best you can do.”
Theme: Wield knowledge like a sword to protect the purity of academia. The road to a comeback is also a passing of the torch.
