Social Affairs - The case of a 17-year-old female student attending a vocational school who was found to be more academically gifted than her professors, and subsequently discovered to have cheated, has shocked public opinion in China.

A 17-year-old female student, attending a vocational school, is more intelligent than even a professor.

In June, Chinese netizens were astonished by the results of the global Super Math competition organized by Alibaba. Among the preliminary round participants in the 2024 math competition, a 17-year-old female student named Jiang Ping achieved a score of 93, ranking 12th globally and being the only girl in the top 30. This achievement surpassed many math professors, students from Tsinghua and Peking universities, and even Jiang Ping's mentor, Professor Wang Runqiu.

Notably, Khương Bình is not a mathematics major or a student at a prestigious university, but a first-year student in the Fashion Design department at Liên Thủy Vocational College (Jiangsu, China).

In mid-June, newspapers and media outlets continuously reported on Khuong Binh, with many articles describing his math learning process under the guidance of teacher Vuong Nhuan Thu.

Reportedly, Professor Wang graduated from Jiangsu University with a major in Mathematics and was a finalist in Alibaba's math competition three times. However, his dream of pursuing a PhD was thwarted due to insufficient English proficiency. Professor Wang shared that discovering Jiang Ping's mathematical talent felt like seeing himself reflected in her.

At that time, many people called Jiang Ping by flattering titles such as "mathematical genius," "hidden genius," "dark horse of the vocational school," or "a talented student meeting a talented teacher,"... However, not a few opinions expressed doubt about Jiang Ping's achievements. Many questioned why, if this female student was so talented that she surpassed students from Tsinghua and Peking universities, and even professors, she had to attend a vocational school? Was this some kind of scam?

Later, some netizens discovered that in an interview video , Jiang Ping made quite a few mistakes in writing mathematical formulas. This further fueled suspicion among some netizens.

A few days ago, Alibaba announced the results of its investigation, and the truth shocked the online community. The results immediately topped the Hotsearch list on Weibo. According to the findings, Jiang Ping was found to have cheated, with help from her teacher during the exam.

Specifically, Mr. Vuong solved the exam questions and then leaked the answers to his students. The exam results of both Mr. Vuong Nhuan Thu and female student Khuong Binh were immediately annulled. According to some sources, Khuong Binh has now dropped out of school due to pressure from the online community. Mr. Vuong was also reprimanded by the school and his eligibility to participate in the 2024 first-place assessment was revoked. The Lien Thuy Vocational College also issued a statement, hoping the public would be more lenient with minors.
