A young lady from the School of Surveying and Mapping of Wuhan University has become a hot topic.

Not only because she went straight to the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences for a PhD in her junior year .

At the same time, she also made it to the top 16 women in the national e-sports competition and appeared at the King of Glory annual awards ceremony.

She easily achieved two difficult achievements and even pushed her mentor in the opposite direction .

No wonder some netizens commented that she is the heroine of cool novels.

Now that she is about to graduate from college, she has begun to try to share her experiences through short videos. In just one month, she has gained 340,000 fans on Douyin.

The content she posts includes both practical learning methods and hardcore game strategies.

If someone asks a question in the comment section, I will answer it patiently.

After watching her videos, netizens seemed to understand something.

That’s right, in fact, in her opinion, the methods of e-sports and learning are universal.

E-sports is the same as studying, both require review and analysis. I will review every game to find out the advantages and disadvantages, stick to the advantages and adjust the disadvantages.

It turns out that being a top student and being good at playing games are not in conflict? Some people have gained confidence in themselves.

Don’t be impatient. We still need to take a closer look at how this double king of academics and games became what he is today.

The double king of games and studies

Her name is Yao Yiling, and she is a 2018 undergraduate student majoring in navigation engineering at the School of Surveying and Mapping of Wuhan University.

The surveying and mapping discipline of Wuhan University is a trump card major, known as "first in the country and third in the world". In the fourth round of discipline evaluation in my country, it received an A+.

According to the official report of Wuhan University, it can be seen that Yao Yiling's attitude towards university study remains meticulous.

Before class, she would download the PPT in advance so that she could take notes on it. During class, she would use time management software to force herself not to play with her phone . After class, she would draw a mind map to sort out the knowledge structure, and then make up for the parts she didn’t understand through MOOC and other methods.

It can be said that I had no intention of letting myself go after entering university.

Yao Yiling said that she would always prioritize her studies under any circumstances , and as for learning skills, hard work comes first .

In order to work on her thesis, Yiling, who always dresses beautifully, can go four days without washing her hair.

Once, the tutor saw that she posted a lot of game-related content on her WeChat Moments and hurriedly urged her to stop. Yiling immediately threw out her transcript with full marks for the semester and also gave the tutor a "reverse push".

Because she had a clear goal of being admitted to graduate school, Yiling did not give up any subject and exceeded the homework targets for ideological and political courses.

Although she had always had good grades in other subjects, she had an idol complex and cried for the entire afternoon after only getting 79 points in that course.

Judging from her sharing on social media, she has had her own way of learning since junior high and high school.

For example, she would prepare a book of wrong questions, and each question would be summarized with a title based on the test points, and recorded in three colors: red pen would be used to summarize the knowledge points involved in the question, blue pen would be used to write the analysis, and black pen would be used to write the answer.

Yao Yiling said that she only read the wrong answer book before the exam. By thoroughly studying the wrong answer book, she was able to improve her grades in the subjects that she was weak in at the beginning without taking extra classes.

In the end, with her consistent strong self-discipline, Yao Yiling won the National Scholarship , won the second prize in the American Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Award, and received direct doctoral opportunities from Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in her junior year .

Based on the matching degree between her tutor and major, she chose the Chinese Academy of Sciences .

Although Yao Yiling always puts study first, she believes in "studying hard when studying and having fun when playing", and she plays games with just as much enthusiasm as studying .

Her Honor of Kings has 74 stars and has always been at the Diamond Goalkeeper level. She is best at playing as a support and her favorite heroes are Zhang Fei and Taiyi Zhenren .

With her outstanding performance, she made it to the school's women's e-sports team, and eventually made it to the top 16 in the King of Glory National Women's Open Shanghai and Wuhan stations respectively.

As a top student, Yao Yiling said that, just like studying, every game should be reviewed to find out the advantages and disadvantages; if you encounter a losing streak, you must stop the loss in time and not fall into a vicious cycle; and playing games is just a form of entertainment. If you know what is more important, learning and games can promote each other.

Speaking of entertainment, in addition to liking to play games, Yao Yiling also knows how to dance and paint. In her freshman and sophomore years, she participated in the school's dragon boat race and won first place - she can be said to be an all-round player.

As for her future development direction, her current plan is: to work hard on scientific research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and graduate with a doctorate first.

What's her secret to being so outstanding?

Achieve the best results with the least effort

In Yao Yiling's opinion, she is neither too smart nor too hardworking.

What we are good at is to achieve the desired effect with the least time and effort.

To achieve all this, her first secret is to be driven by clear goals .

For example, when it comes to games, she is very clear that her main purpose of playing games is to have fun, and secondly to pursue a sense of accomplishment.

If you lose stars in a row, it is meaningless to start the next game. Either stop and learn, or review your playing style in time.

The same is true for studying. Mindlessly doing exercises or playing games will not bring any progress, but will only waste your time and your mentality.

As for admission to graduate school, Yao Yiling started planning as soon as she entered university.

After figuring out the school's plan for guaranteed admission to graduate school, she began to actively participate in national mathematical modeling competitions, "Big and Small Selection", "Internet+" and other competitions to add points to herself.

As for the thesis, I started contacting teachers to join a group for training in the first half of my sophomore year, started preparing to publish articles in the first half of my junior year, and had them published before being recommended for admission in the second half of my junior year.

In addition, if you put the required courses that are difficult to score in the senior year, they will not be counted as credits for admission to graduate school.

With a clear plan and time spent wisely, she no longer has to study hard every day and has more time to develop her hobbies.

Netizens were inspired when they saw this.

In addition to planning, the second secret that Yao Yiling repeatedly emphasized is to communicate more .

When participating in competitions, communicate more with seniors in the team, and you can often get the opportunity to join the group for training.

Don’t be afraid that you don’t know anything when you find a teacher to do scientific research in your sophomore year. Communicate your goal of admission to graduate school with your teacher and ask for his or her help.

In her opinion, teachers are experienced in scientific research, and asking them for advice more often can help her avoid detours and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As for herself, she met a tutor who also played games during her undergraduate studies, and she would help the tutor improve his scores .

This is usually the style of communication between two people.

After reading her experience, netizens were inspired:

Some people also asked, "Which window did God close for you? "

After searching for a long time, everyone finally found out that she only had one dimple when she smiled, and it was asymmetrical.

But "Ling-chan, who has always been strong, cannot tolerate this flaw:
