At that time, the two brothers developed together. Although they were competitors, they discussed methods and skills with each other without any reservations.
This kind of situation continued until the second year in senior high school. They were both preparing for the high school mathematics league, and the winner could enter the provincial team.
They had been working hard for such a goal since the beginning of senior school. They even sat for two or three hours for solving a single problem and they didn't go to bed until almost twelve o'clock.
However, the reality is not always as good as hopes. In that league, one twin got happy and the other sad.
The older brother got the first prize and entered the provincial team, while the younger brother failed.
Huang Zhengyu was gloomy for quite a long time and couldnt brace up for anything.
Seeing his younger brother like this, Huang Jiaoyang was worried and encouraged him for several times, but there was no effect.
"I don't know how to get rid of this winner's attitude to comfort him. It may be much better if we both failed, and then we can console each other." Huang Jiaoyang turned to teachers and classmates, hoping them to help his brother out.
With the efforts of teachers and classmates, Huang Zhengyu finally came out of failure.
Then the brothers still helped each other in study and finally both won the first prize in the competition in grade three. Their classmates said that they had double harvests from double efforts.
Speaking of brother, Huang Jiaoyang said that best advantage is that there's an accompany when you can't solve the problem.
Huang Zhengyu said that the happiest thing is to have a person sharing the joy when you just solved a problem.
Huang Jiaoyang has been saying that he has never been lonely since he has a brother.
What's the tip for success? To withstand loneliness!
Some students think that Huang Jiaoyang or Huang Zhengyu's success come from their gift. But the brothers don't think so.
"If there's any gift, our best gift is interest. But perseverance is more important." Huang Jiaoyang said that they almost spent the whole days doing exercises and even kept thinking about those exercises when they prepared for the competition.
Huang Zhengyu also agrees with his brother and said that success comes from those exercises.
They hope that students in grade three can adhere to the last few months and have good results in the college entrance examination.
They suggest students to have good attitude to focus on the important and difficult parts gradually.
Zhang Jin, their head teacher said that Huang Jiaoyang and Huang Zhengyu entered No 7 middle school of Chengdu with the highest schools in 2007, and they came to this school in order to realize their dreams of math competition.
They got the national first prize of math in grade one. "They are very hard-working, persistent, which most students can't be. Meanwhile, they are very humble to others." |
