Netizen: Anyway, she is just a woman, and she is a beauty, better than the average person. I still admire her because she is at least better than me.
With hype, there is no integrity.
Netizen "Gone with the Wind": "Wu Yingying Incident" became a superb advertising operation mode for TopCoder to enter the China market at low cost, but it fooled the parties, Beijing Normal University, China media and audience!
Netizen: there is hype, no integrity; With attention, there is no character; With fame, the atmosphere is bad. Beijing Normal University and Wu Yingying should not be so fake. (Reporter Luo Yuling) Yes, in the last month of 2006, she was undoubtedly the most popular protagonist on the Internet. She was covered with flattering words and surrounded by abusive words. At first, she made a high-profile appearance, and then, the questioning public opinion was overwhelming, and she evaded and retreated like an ostrich.
This is the experience of a 2 1 year-old girl in the last month of 2006: from a talented girl to a "liar" and a "forger", from a beautiful woman to a "clown".
Wu Yingying, a fourth-grade girl from Beijing Normal University, was held high and fell to the ground.
After a commotion, she turned off her mobile phone, turned off her blog and cut off contact with the outside world, as if she was just traveling on this planet for a short time. After the holiday, she left.
However, the discussion about this girl has not been settled. In the eyes of close people, she has always been a topic of discussion. However, at this time, she is neither a genius nor a liar, nor a beauty or a clown, but a special child.
Wu Yingying, her cell phone has been turned off and her blog is no longer open. She disappeared into a corner of Beijing.
Run the company's business silently.
"She is not as amazing as online, nor as miserable as people think.
She is not the only outstanding person. Nearly noon 12, Wang Shaohua stood on the high steps of the teaching building. He is waiting for someone from far away. He really can't figure out why people traveled thousands of miles many years ago, just for one of his students, and he can't imagine how much waves this child, who always stays in his eyes, has caused in the distant capital.
"I didn't know the news until her parents showed me the newspaper one night," said Wang Shaohua, the retired headmaster of Shishi Middle School. During his tenure as principal, there were hundreds of students he had coached and parents he had met. Wu Yingying is one of the few people who keep in touch after many years.
On the afternoon of February 7th, 2006, at 65438, Beijing Normal University held a press conference for Wu Yingying, a senior girl from the School of Psychology. Wu Yingying sent a paper bag to the reporters present, which contained her personal data and award certificate, as well as the introduction of Topcoder, an American software company, the development plan in China market, and a document signed by the company's public relations department on the appointment of Wu Yingying as the company's vice president in Asia.
Wu Yingying's parents kept in touch with Wang Shaohua and soon told him the news of her appointment as good news.
"If I remember correctly, she graduated from South Street Primary School, and now she doesn't exist. She entered Shishi Middle School on 1997. " Wang Shaohua was deeply impressed by the little girl before: "The school holds a small invention and production competition every year", and she participates in it every year. "Wu Yingying is a frequent visitor to the competition and it is common to win prizes." But there are many students who make small inventions in school, and she is not the only one who is outstanding. "
The small invention competition in Shishi Middle School is very famous and has attracted a lot of attention. "I don't remember what year it was. Boss Liu and Professor Liu from Hong Kong Yilida Company have been to our school. " Yilida Cup is an influential invention competition among young people in China. Students from Shishi Middle School win prizes almost every year. And boss Liu are here to give prizes to the first prize students.
The student's surname is Xia. Wu Yingying also won the prize in this year's competition, but he didn't win the first prize, so he couldn't personally accept the trophy from Professor Yang Zhenning.
"In the third grade, she began to write an open dictionary and won the first prize of Illida." Wang Shaohua said that he has been paying attention to Wu Yingying since the first grade of junior high school. He found that the student was so absorbed in playing with some tools that he even used the classroom as a laboratory. "She seems to be making little things every day."
At the end of the semester in 2000, Wang Shaohua announced to teachers and students that Wu Yingying would be admitted to Shishi Middle School as a freshman in advance. "No matter how she does in the entrance exam, we will definitely admit her." He considered that Wu Yingying spent a lot of time on gizmos, and his academic performance would definitely be affected. President Wang decided to make an exception for such students.
But Wu Yingying took the entrance exam that year. "Her grades are higher than the admission line of key high schools in Chengdu, and there is still a gap from the admission line of Shishi Middle School." Wang Shaohua said that such students should not be buried in his hands.
"You are still young, don't be conceited."
"165438+ 10/0. Her mother was anxious to call me and said Yingying had joined the work, and an American company hired her as vice president. " Cao Feng, a reporter from West China Daily, has known Wu Yingying for many years and can be said to have "watched her grow up".
"Her mother was worried that work would affect her study, so I called her and asked her for an interview." Out of the concern of friends for many years, Cao Feng wanted to listen to Wu Yingying's explanation of the company and work face to face. "A few days later, she rushed back to Chengdu. Accompanied by her mother, we met in a coffee shop. "Wu Yingying tells the basic situation of the company. "She is engaged in programming and software development. She likes computers since she was a child. She said it didn't affect her study. "
1999, after winning the Ilida Prize, Wu Yingying gave his first interview and published a report about Wu in West China Daily. "That was the beginning of her report. I have been interviewing her for many years." Thus formed the friendship.
Media and Internet began to question Wu Yingying almost from the afternoon she appeared. The public's doubts about Wu revolve around her "100 inventions", "three patents", "Master of Stanford University" and "Assistant Chairman of ACM Asia". The title of "vice president of beauty" has brought more clicks to the network. Under the relevant news items in Wu Yingying, the posts of comments are cursed one after another, and the charges such as "expert forger", "academic liar" and "collective hype" are all listed. The normal life order in Wu Yingying has been disrupted.
Cao Feng is still paying attention to the storm caused by Wu Yingying. While making a lot of noise on the Internet, he posted a famous post in Tianya community, responding to comments made by netizens attacking Wu Yingying. Soon, this post quickly turned pages and sent flowers and bricks. "Unexpectedly, she really made a big deal out of it." What happened to this little girl who reported the case was unexpected to Cao.
"After this incident, she was a little depressed. I advised her to put down her burden and calm her mind. " Cao Feng comforted Wu Yingying to "look forward"
In Cao Feng's impression, Wu Yingying was interviewed by reporters for the first time with a long gun and a short gun when he was 15 years old. "She is very tall and thin. She introduced the process of invention, and I was the first reporter to interview her. " This is an explosion limited to the media in Sichuan province. In the face of high-frequency exposure, Cao Feng kindly reminded the little girl: "You are still young, only 15 years old, don't inflate yourself."
It is an invention with great influence in Sichuan, and Wu Yingying gained a reputation among middle school students in Sichuan.
This summer, Wu Yingying approached Cao Feng and said that she wanted to be a reporter for West China Daily. "We have a page written by the students themselves. She wanted to try, so I let her do it. Several consecutive issues are not bad. " After she finished her short-term job as a journalist, Cao Feng paid her 100 yuan.
In the winter of 2002, Wu Yingying attended a winter camp. At this time, she learned to dance, and she won the first prize in this winter camp dance competition. "It seems to be run by schools such as Beijing Normal University and Fudan University. After this winter camp, Beijing Normal University signed an admission agreement with her, and as long as her college entrance examination scores passed the key line, she was admitted. " After signing the agreement, Wu Yingying told Cao Feng, "She said that her dream is Tsinghua, and she cried for it several times."
After crying, Wu Yingying tried to contact Tsinghua University, hoping to give her an early admission agreement, but Tsinghua University's reply rejected her request.
"Because she always makes small inventions, her grades are affected, and her parents are also worried about whether the college entrance examination is sure." Finally, Wu Yingying was admitted to Beijing Normal University with a score of 5 14. Wang Shaohua once published an article entitled "Exploring the Reasons for the Success of Wu Yingying's Invention" in Education Herald, the organ newspaper of Sichuan Education Department. "She stands out among the students and is very special. My article analyzes her growth background, family environment and big background. " Wang Shaohua believes that the school has given Wu Yingying full understanding and help. "I have repeatedly worried that exam-oriented education has killed her." Wang Shaohua gave instructions to Wu Yingying's head teacher and paid special attention to her.
Wu Yingying was also lost after a setback. She keeps a diary every week to record her difficulties and her own confusion. After reading it, the teacher gave her a comment: "Be the best of yourself."
Wang Shaohua was moved by the little girl's character of daring to practice. As the principal of the school, he believes that students should have their own personalities and unique views on problems, and Wu Yingying just meets his requirements. "She dares to do something. Once, she tasted an herb and her mouth was swollen. " However, the little girl's character is tough. "She learned to dance, and her feet were covered with blood, but she persisted until she danced well. She tried everything and did a good job. "
The maverick character made the little girl seem out of place with her classmates in middle school. "Classmates and teachers are very controversial about her. For example, a math problem, she can say three solutions. She is not afraid of making mistakes, so she talks in class, and the students below will boo. She doesn't care, she must finish it. " Cao Feng once heard the introduction of her head teacher. She never cares what other students think of her. When she finished the third solution, maybe the fourth solution had been formed in her brain. Then, she will ask her teachers and classmates to allow her to say the fourth solution.
No one wants to listen to this stubborn little girl, because her solution is wrong. However, this little girl seems unreasonable. She completely ignored other people's ideas and repeated such scenes in class again and again.
The teachers gave Wu Yingying the greatest tolerance. The chemistry teacher brought her medicine and told her to go home and do experiments. The math teacher allowed her to write down the answers to the exercises, even if they were wrong.
While writing that article, I visited Wu's home. "Her parents are very lax in her management. Her house is in a mess, all because of her little invention. Her parents encouraged her to stick to her job. "
For such students, Wang Shaohua adopted a completely different management method from other students. He wanted to let go and let her think and act freely, because Wang believed that the student would "achieve something" in the future.
Wu Yingying's family is very ordinary. His father is a prison guard and his mother works in a fire-fighting equipment company. "Unlike online legends, my father is not a vice governor, but he is also an intellectual family. Her parents didn't interfere with her much, so they let her do what she wanted. Her grandparents are all school teachers and have taken an appropriate approach to Yingying's education. " Cao Feng interviewed Wu Yingying for many years and had many contacts with her family.
In an interview with Sichuan media, Wu Yingying's mother, Wang Zeng, said with emotion: "The six years of Shishi Middle School are the most crucial six years for the development of Wu Yingying. Thank you for giving Yingying the space and support for innovation. "

On1October 25th, 2006, 10, Topcoder announced the appointment of Wu Yingying as the vice president of Asia in official website.
Classmates and teachers have a great controversy about her.
She is not afraid to say the wrong thing, and she is always talking. The students below are all booing, and she doesn't care. She must finish it.
She seems unreasonable, completely ignoring other people's ideas and thinking only of herself.
"If I hadn't met President Wang and changed schools, maybe Wu Yingying would have dropped out of school long ago." Cao Feng said that according to her personality, few teachers and schools can tolerate such students. In the face of overwhelming rumors, Wu Yingying's explanation seems far-fetched and pale. She once said that the development of the situation was unexpected, and she was "startled" and "felt very painful and her personality was questioned". At this time, she chose silence more, and grandly launched her school. She simply said "some exaggeration" and was silent.
"She should have been interviewed by new york Topcoder when she was at Stanford University in August 2006, and got the position in September." Ms. Zhu said that she had to come forward to clarify because her son had a close relationship with Wu Yingying, and there were some rumors about her son on the Internet. "She is the vice president, and she is real."
Because of her son, Ms. Zhu pays special attention to Wu Yingying's every move. "She returned to China in September, but there was no immediate announcement."
In that meeting with Wang, Wu Yingying's mother, Wang, was still very opposed to her daughter's choice. She once said in an interview with a Sichuan newspaper after her daughter's public news: "We just want her to continue studying for a doctorate abroad and don't want to work so early, but she doesn't think so." Wang said that in June 2006, Wu Yingying was given the opportunity to visit and study at Stanford University. She got a high score of 3.957 out of 4 credits.
The excellent performance in Stanford has attracted the attention of the top management of TopCoder, which is mainly engaged in online programming competition, skill evaluation and competitive software development. Through the investigation and communication in Wu Yingying, coupled with her excellent performance in international competitions and excellent organizational skills, Topcoder Company soon sent an invitation to Wu Yingying, hoping that she could be the company's vice president in Asia.
When Wu Yingying told his parents the news, he didn't get support. In June+10, 5438, her father made a special trip to Beijing, and spent half a month trying to persuade his daughter to give up the idea of working and study hard for a doctorate. However, this time, they finally obeyed their daughter.
"Her biggest dream is to study for a master's degree and a doctor's degree at Stanford, but if she wants this position, she has to give it up." When Wu's mother took her daughter to ask for advice, Cao was finally persuaded by Wu Yingying.
Parents support their daughter's idea. She wants to study for a doctorate after work, and work can provide her with a good salary. "As far as I know, it is a considerable figure, but I can't disclose it to the outside world." Promise Wu that she won't tell anyone about her income, and her parents keep this secret. Therefore, regarding Wu's income, the outside world is at a loss. "She will finish all classes at school on Monday and work full-time in the company from Tuesday to Saturday."
"My son has also participated in the competition of this company, and world-class programmers have participated." Ms Zhu learned about this American company sometimes from her son and sometimes from Wu Yingying. "They recruited many college students to work. Her president is not bragging, but she is more comprehensive. Therefore, among the college students employed by this company in the world, she has the highest position and the highest salary. " "On February 7, 2006, at 65438, her mother called me again and said that Beijing Normal University was going to hold a press conference. I thought I won another prize. The next day, I was shocked to see the media reports. " Cao Feng was also surprised by the "Wu Yingying incident" that happened at the beginning of last month.
Cao Feng is more like a spokesman for Wu Yingying. Of course, as he himself said, this is based on his contacts with Wu's friends for many years. Just after Wu Yingying closed his blog and remained silent in the face of all doubts, Cao explained Wu Jin on the blog. "In fact, a group of so-called IT elites are besieging Wu Yingying." He believes that the seemingly fierce condemnation of Wu on the Internet only comes from a few so-called IT elites.
"The real online' Wupai' is a minority. Take the articles with the highest click rate of more than 200,000, but there are countless repeated posts as short as 1000 and 1000, and only 200 or 300 people have been deleted. After watching a lot of excitement, real rational thinkers will not follow suit. " Cao wrote in the blog.
He also got some invention patent documents, award certificates and letters of appointment from Wu Yingying's parents and published them on his blog.
As early as a few days before the "Wu Yingying Incident" debate, Wu Yingying's father responded to the online query through Cao Feng's paraphrase: "The accurate meaning of Yingying's three patents in media reports is that Yingying has three patents, two of which have obtained certificates, and one has not been issued because of time. These three patents are: quick dictionary search, binding technology and counting seal (patents have passed novelty search, have been declared, are being processed and have been applied in a certain field). "
For more than 100 inventions that more people suspect, my father said, "We can make a list." He also said, "It is these inventions of pediatrics that have created Yingying's innovative ability today. 100 inventions, the number is not important, what we need to study is whether Yingying has the ability to innovate. "
The father stood beside his daughter and answered the questions one by one. "A research group from the School of Psychology of Beijing Normal University invited me to Beijing Normal University for a test and came to a conclusion. This means that our EEG is less prone to fatigue than others. I only know that this is just a test result of scientific research results. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the' genius' that the outside world said. " Mr. Wu believes that his daughter is not a "genius", but the honor she won is authentic. "The difference in the reporting process of individual situations does not affect Yingying's basic image."
"She may have taken some postgraduate simulation courses at Stanford, which can be put on her resume, but she is not a Stanford graduate student." Ms. Zhu from Shenzhen said, "Her propaganda may be exaggerated, but there are some problems in the details."
"The flaw in existence is not her personal intention, but the deviation in the communication process." Cao Feng's evaluation of Wu Yingying is, "It is wrong for a college student with comprehensive characteristics to say that she is a genius. All sectors of society should give her a bigger and more relaxed environment." 65438 On February 25th, 2006, Wang Xuming, spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, said at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Education that the basic information of Wu Yingying, a 2 1 year-old student, fed back by Beijing Normal University was true. It is rare for the Ministry of Education to respond to the typical example set by a university. The spokesman said that the introduction of this classmate was mainly from the perspective of cultivating innovative talents, rather than just saying how great she was. Maybe some media exaggerated the incident.
The statement of the Ministry of Education seems to be a final conclusion of the "Wu Yingying Incident".
Wu Yingying, she disappeared in a corner of Beijing, quietly taking care of the company's business. "She is very busy at the moment. The school and the company have arranged that she can no longer be interviewed by the media, and there are many journalists who ask for interviews, but she must handle her work calmly. " Ms Zhu's son Xiao Wang accompanied Wu Yingying in Beijing. He said that he had heard of Wu Yingying a long time ago, met him through the ACM competition, and briefly worked as an "alumnus" at Stanford. They were very close friends. "She is currently the vice president, but she is in charge of the company's overall business in China."
Her business is organizing competitions, conducting publicity and recruiting members.
A few days ago, Cao Feng went to Beijing for a meeting and went to the office of Wu Yingying Company one night. "In a very imposing office building, it is not as big as expected, but it was not bad at the beginning of its opening."
"She is not as magical and painful as posted on the Internet." As a friend for many years, Cao Feng is "full of confidence" in the future of Wu Yingying.
Wu Yingying's parents also rushed to Beijing after the incident expanded to help their daughter take care of the aftermath. Her mother is still in Beijing, helping her sort out information and a list of past inventions. As of the 30th of last month, Wu's mother Wang's Chengdu number mobile phone was still out of service.
