"Yau High School Science Award?"
Li Dong was taken aback when Vice Principal Zhao asked that.
The name sounded vaguely familiar to him, but he truly did not know what kind of competition it was.
So he honestly shook his head. "Principal Zhao, I don't know."
Old Chen, who was sitting beside him, frowned slightly at that.
Vice Principal Zhao explained with a chuckle.
"The Fields Medal was initiated by the mathematical master Mr. Yau. It is currently one of the most prestigious competitions in the global high school research field."
"It differs from Orsay. It does not test rote problem-solving or exam techniques. Students are required to independently choose a topic and complete an entire research project, either individually or as a team."
"We specifically chose the official Asia division for you. This division is fully on par with the Mainland division. The final global competition is held on the same stage, and all award certificates are personally signed by Mr. Yau. Tsinghua–Peking, Ivy League schools overseas, MIT—they all recognize it highly. There is no difference whatsoever in prestige."
"Moreover, we have a long-term talent development partnership with the organizing committee. There is a special application channel open to outstanding Mainland high school students, and it is entirely compliant."
"Most importantly, the timeline for the Asia division fits perfectly. To make it to the global finals, you only need to submit a fully English academic paper and complete a fully English defense."
At that point, Vice Principal Zhao looked at Li Dong.
"Student Li Dong, No. 6 High School sincerely hopes that you can represent the school in the physics division of this award."
"During this research process, your personal academic abilities will definitely improve tremendously. It will also be an excellent rehearsal for your future path in scientific
