The feel good 💕story of the year:
China's Good Will(a) Hunting, Vocational Fashion Student and Improbable Math Genius
17-year old vocational high school student Jiang Ping, who spends her days studying fashion design and literally making clothes, places 12th out of 801 finalists for the global Alibaba Math Contest. Unlike most of the other contestants, who hail from the top educational institutions in the world -- plenty from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and of course Tsinghua and Peking University -- she was one of the roughly 50% of kids in China who didn't even go to a regular high school and ended up at this vocational high school, where the primary purpose is to prepare them for a skilled, hands-on vocation. In her case, that is fashion design.
She seems to have had just a super high aptitude for Math since she was young, and always found all the math problems in class very trivial. When she aced her first math exam at the vocational school, her Math teacher gave her a few advanced math books for self study. Armed with just a Chinese-English dictionary and translation app, she began to study in her spare time and found a lot of joy in exploring the beautiful universe that is Math.
When asked if she likes fashion design more or Math more, she still said fashion design, and said that she saw her favorite, partial differential equations, present everywhere in fashion designs.
She was quite intimidated initially and wasn't going to sign up for the prestigious math contest, but at her teacher's urging that it's open to anyone and totally free, she decided to give it a try.
Now, the final portion of the Alibaba Math contest is 6/22, and she is just a "top finalist," not one of the five 1st place winners ... yet, but she has won already in my mind, and I really hope this stories inspires other talented, but also poorly-resourced students and teachers to go for their dreams. And kudos to @AlibabaGroup for setting up such an awesome, prestigious and yet open-to-all contest to discover more latent talent like Jiang Ping!

I went to Gucci shop in FUJISAKI Sendai and bought bag and sneakers. I told my sales that I’m Hanyu’s fan and I bought these just want to show my support for Yuzu.
Now I have same sneakers with new ambassador Yuzu, so nice!
