An "ah?" could convey many different meanings.
But without a doubt, beneath this image from USTC High School's WeChat post, the blogger Math and Physics Events' "ah?" fully expressed the shock in his heart.
Of course, his was not the only "ah?" There were even more "ah?" comments beneath the image.
Every netizen who saw the image was shocked beyond words.
Of course, aside from all those "ah?"s, there were all kinds of other replies.
Bro, is this image real? If it were USTC, I could understand it, but USTC High School? Isn't that a bit too much?
Holy shit, USTC High School is a high school, right? If he graduated with the class of 2020, didn't he just graduate this year? He hasn't even started university yet!
Impossible, absolutely impossible! It's edited, all edited! I'm a PhD student in mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and publishing in a domestic Core Journal is enough to make me lose all my hair. How could someone publish in IHES right after graduating high school? Hahahaha, it has to be fake! He's gone crazy! He's gone crazy!
Another one lost his mind. Carry him away, carry him away.
Fuck, it seems to be real?! I checked USTC High School's official WeChat account, and they really did post this news!
Holy shit! I just checked too, and that official account really did post it!
Ah??
Wait, wasn't this year's top science student in Hui Province also named Xiao Yi? Could it be this Xiao Yi?
Amid all sorts of speculation, every netizen who saw the news fell deeper and deeper into shock.
The people in the Joint Examination Group were equally stunned.
After everyone finished reading that Weibo post, the group fell silent once more.
Until a while later.
