If you were given a chance to choose, would you rather be a dragon that leaps over the dragon's gate, or a fish that soars through the shallows? Being a dragon can soar in the sky, but being a fish can play and socialize freely. Each seems to have its own advantages. Some people are born as dragons, but choose to live a life as quiet as a fish. That's fine, and that's the case with Liu Ji-woo.

Liu Zhiyu has grown up in an intellectual family since he was a child, and his chances of becoming a talented person are inherently greater than others. His talent in mathematics has been much stronger than others since he was a child. When others can't see any clues when looking at a question, , he was able to get the answer from this question easily. Later, when he entered middle school, Liu Zhiyu was selected by his teacher to participate in the American Mathematical Olympiad competition. When he went to the United States to participate in the competition, he also showed his extremely superior talent. Without many twists and turns, without many difficulties, he easily defeated all the American players. He directly won a gold medal for the Chinese team.

In the 47th International Mathematics Olympiad in 2006, Liu Jiyu was still very good. He shined brightly and got the highest score with a good score in the entire test paper. The highest score allowed him to Successfully won the championship, and also won the favor of Peking University, China's top prestigious university.

Some people may say, "You're just a child, you can't grow up like this." Many people are very good when they are very young, and even get the top place in various competitions, but when they really grow up, , but they were not as powerful as before, and instead began to lose sight of everyone and could not stand out. But Liu Jiyu was not like this. He was very strong when he was young. When he grew up, he was still in places like Peking University where strong people gathered. Being able to maintain the top grades and achieve particularly high grades in every course with outstanding qualities, he not only graduated successfully, but also received unanimous high praise from teachers and classmates. Their appreciation allowed Liu Jiyu to be able to With unremitting efforts, persistent efforts, and continued struggle, he was almost able to study abroad at MIT in Beijing.

However, no one expected that a powerful academic like Liu Zhiyu, a proud man like him who was born with an aura and was like a god of learning, would suddenly get tired of studying one day, and No longer looking for his own gods, he began to exile himself. His heart wandered in the mountains and seas, with no return. He no longer had the opportunity to interact with the gods and shine. He was no longer the extraordinary young man in everyone's mind.

It was in 2010 that Liu Zhiyu ordained as a monk at Longquan Temple in Beijing. Before becoming a monk, his parents had already cried to him and wanted to save him, hoping that he could He changed his mind, but Liu Zhiyu really couldn't do it. He couldn't ignore his inner desires and demands. He even said to the teacher who persuaded him earnestly, "Learning mathematics can't save the world."

In fact, Liu Zhiyu will become a monk, everything is traceable. He once joined the Peking University Zen Society in the first year of school, and then led the Zen Society again and again. He went to various temples in Beijing to do volunteer work, hoping to explore and think about life in this way. As for whether he finally thought it through and made the truly correct choice, we don’t know. We only know that in our The choice he made before him was so thorough and decisive.

Previously Liu Zhiyu wrote in an essay: "I am a stone. I look like thousands of stones, but I always hope that I am the extraordinary one who can." Like Sun Wukong's stone, I turned into a monkey after attaining enlightenment; I sang hard in the square of time, but there were still so many people who couldn't hear my singing; I marched bravely against the waves on a sunny day, but I always lost my temper at night. I will lose the past deeply and be depressed and unable to sleep..." The teacher commented below this sentence: "Then I'm sorry, you were born as a human being." At that time, Liu Zhiyu felt unconvinced, but later he wanted to laugh. The teacher was like this. With such a sharp point and a clear and cheerful life, he pointed out the essence of life in an instant. Contradictions will always exist and the reality is unsatisfactory.

However, Liu Zhiyu has not stayed in the Buddhist powerhouse to live out the rest of his life. He is now slowly choosing and circling between being born and joining the world. He also hopes that one day he can Returning to real life, at the end of 2017, he obtained the third-level psychological counselor's license. This may pave the way for his life after coming down from the mountain. Perhaps he can give up the path of mathematics in the future and become an outstanding psychological counselor. , this is also something that may happen.
