The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

"?????????"

"Holy crap?! School uniforms?!"

"He came in a school uniform???"

"Everyone's Great Hall of the People, live-streamed globally, a world-class verification conference, and he's wearing a high school uniform??"

"The Holy Son has arrived!!! He's wearing his school uniform!!! He's wearing that faded school uniform!!!"

"I cried! I really cried! It was the uniform from No. 99 Middle School!"

"It was the uniform of the worst high school in the city, the one that didn't even have a synthetic track! He wore it and stood under the world's spotlight!"

"Good heavens, no need for suits and ties, just a tattered school uniform and he's practically crowned himself emperor!"

"This is the Heavenly Emperor from the mortal realm; he needs no elaborate robes!"

"One sword cleaves the heavens, three swords prove the Heavenly Emperor's authority, ten thousand immortals come to pay homage to the sun, the Holy Son ascends the throne!"

"A legendary scene from the Investiture of the Gods is predicted! The schoolboy in uniform proves his enlightenment today!!"

"Wearing the simplest school uniforms, teaching the most advanced mathematics!"

"An 18-year-old high school student giving lessons to the world's top mathematicians! Even the most brain-dead novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!"

"The Holy Son attained enlightenment while wearing a school uniform! That was the epitome of cool!"

"Western bigwigs: We're all dressed in suits and ties, and you're in a school uniform?!"

"Hilarious! Ji Shen is just telling them: I was just passing by on my way to school to verify a hypothesis."

"Emperor Ji Bai: You're all dressed in suits for a meeting, and I'm dressed in a school uniform to teach you. Pay attention to classroom discipline and stop whispering."

……

Fucheng, No. 99 Middle School.

All 24 classes in the school had large projection screens, and thousands of teachers and students crowded into the classrooms, their eyes glued to the live broadcast.

This is a genius who came out of their school, the most dazzling name since the founding of No. 99 Middle School. The pride in the hearts of all the teachers and students is about to overflow.

And the moment Ji Bai stepped out of the Hongqi state limousine wearing that blue and white school uniform from No. 99 Middle School—

The entire teaching building exploded!

"Aaaaaaah! It's our school uniform!!"

"Senior Ji Bai is wearing his school uniform! He went to the auditorium wearing our No. 99 Middle School uniform!!"

"Holy crap, I got goosebumps! This is a live broadcast on CCTV! The whole country can see our school uniforms!"

"Yesterday I was complaining about how ugly this school uniform was, but today I'm treating it like a family heirloom!"

……

The classroom was filled with screams, banging on desks, and cheers.

Even the usually strict homeroom teacher stood by the podium, smiling and wiping the corners of his eyes, repeatedly muttering, "You've made something of yourself, you've really made something of yourself."

In front of the podium, Principal Wang Jianguo stared at the screen, his hands trembling, so excited he almost fainted.

School uniform!

It's his school uniform from No. 99 Middle School!

This is the Great Hall of the People, a world-class event broadcast live globally!

What is it when your own students stand before the world in their alma mater's uniform? This is a living legend of school history!

Taking advantage of the break during the entrance procession, Principal Wang grabbed the microphone from the campus loudspeaker, his voice booming and carrying throughout the entire campus, trembling with barely suppressed pride:

"Students!!! Did you see that?! That's Ji Bai!!! That's our No. 99 Middle School uniform!!!"

Today, it followed Ji Bai into the Great Hall of the People and stood on the highest stage of world mathematics!

In my thirty years of teaching, I have never felt so proud as I do today!

I don't expect each of you to become Ji Bai, but I hope you remember—

Having an ordinary background does not mean having an ordinary life!

Wearing the same school uniform, you can all shine brightly in your own way!

Watch carefully and learn well!

Today, Ji Bai is the pride of his alma mater!

Tomorrow, you too will become a source of pride for your alma mater!

These words were spoken with great force, tears streaming down his face, and the dean of students and grade leaders in the broadcasting room had red eyes and applauded desperately.

In each classroom, the students went from cheering to quiet, from quiet to silence, and from silence to red-eyed.

But in everyone's eyes shone a light that had never been seen before.

For the first time, the blue and white school uniform became the coolest badge in the hearts of all teachers and students.

……

The excitement wasn't limited to No. 99 Middle School.

In Fucheng, all the high schools organized viewings.

In Liaoning Province, the Provincial Department of Education issued a notice yesterday requiring all key high schools in the province to organize a unified viewing of the opening ceremony of the verification conference.

The notice reached the neighboring province of Jilin, and when Jilin saw that Liaoning Province had organized its own organization, they decided to do the same.

When the news reached Heilongjiang Province, the province saw that Jilin and Liaoning provinces had already organized similar initiatives, and they knew they couldn't fall behind.

Then the news reached Montreal and Hai Province...

As is well known, there are five provinces in Northeast China.

In the end, high schools all over the country took action.

Of course, it was just an organized viewing of the opening and closing ceremonies; after all, the entire verification conference lasted five days, and it was impossible to watch the whole thing.

And to be honest, even these high school students wouldn't understand it.

Let alone high school students, even college students and graduate students wouldn't understand it.

No one expects high school students to understand complex number theory proofs, but this grand feast of youthful inspiration is itself the most inspiring lesson.

The moment Ji Bai appeared in his school uniform, all the high school students watching across the country went wild!

"Ahhh! This is so awesome!!!"

"That's so extravagant!!!"

"That's the ultimate way to show off! Wearing the most ordinary school uniform to the most prestigious event!"

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream, and I said I saw the ceiling of the school uniform world."

"I used to think school uniforms were terribly ugly, but now I suddenly think... how come they look so cool the more I look at them?"

"This is the same style worn by the Holy Son! It's cooler than any trendy brand!"

"I'm going to wear my school uniform to school tomorrow, so Ji Shen and I are basically wearing matching outfits."

……

The boys stared at the Hongqi state limousine, their blood boiling with excitement, their minds filled with the thought, "This is what a real man should be like!"

I wish I were the one getting out of that state limousine right now!

The girls immediately went into "fangirl mode," their screams nearly lifting the roof off the school building.

"Ahhh, Ji Bai is so handsome! Even in unedited photos, he looks amazing!"

"I used to think all top students were bespectacled nerds, but now I'm totally hooked!"

"That aura is amazing! He even makes a school uniform look like something out of a boss, how does he do that?!"

"Handsome, smart, and so young—this is like a novel protagonist come to life!"

"Are you looking for female students? Is it too late for me to get into No. 99 Middle School?"

"Oh no, Ji Bai has raised the bar for finding a partner to the level of Mount Everest."

……

CCTV's cameras never use beauty filters.

But the boy in the picture just stood quietly next to the state guest car.

Wearing a slightly faded blue and white school uniform, without any designer brands or elaborate makeup, she was more dazzling than anyone in a suit and tie.

Clear-eyed, upright, youthful spirit, yet possessing a composure and calmness beyond his years.

He stood there, bathed in the morning light of the Great Hall of the People, in the center of the world's attention.

At that moment, countless people across the country watching on their screens remembered this scene vividly.

Remember the boy who stepped out of the Hongqi state limousine!

I remembered his ordinary high school uniform!

We have remembered the most moving brilliance of Chinese youth!
