成长裂变之痛：
在磨砺中破茧成蝶
2023年12月的一天，校园各大电子屏正在滚动播放三学子斩获2023丘成桐中学科学奖大奖的喜报。
周静函所在的高一四班恰好紧邻走廊，学姐们的大新闻瞬间将她“击中”。
她立即找到了科学组负责老师说明想要组队参赛的想法，在得到了坚定的支持和鼓励后，便立即在班内找到了陶成溪和王昊宇两位同学作为队员——
陶成溪在高一时托福即已破百，王昊宇是满手化学国际金奖的年级学霸，周静函则在校身兼年级学生会主席及班长等数职，积淀了一定的领导力。
此刻，沉浸式英语教学、鼓励指导参与高水平赛事、活动育人、支持学生自治等教育理念所发挥的无形作用，让三人小团队在组建之初即具备诸多先天优势。
但一如所有先苦后甜的既定规律，首先汹涌袭来的却是成长的裂变之苦。
▲实验前的土壤研磨准备
就像很多生物实验前必须面对的体力活——他们要把挖来的整整40斤样本土进行充分研磨，直到土壤能通过孔径仅为2mm的不锈钢筛，且抓起来一把扔下去周围会有烟尘状。
为此，他们不得不蹲在地上“细致劳作”，在学校体育馆和健身房都没少锻炼的陶成溪成了主力担当，一个下午过去，三个人无一不是腰酸背痛，灰头土脸，模样甚是狼狈。
实验上的精细活儿更不会轻松——仅仅蚯蚓解剖前的准备环节，就要对每条蚯蚓进行3次氯酸钠清洗，再用去离子水冲洗3次，最后用75%乙醇消毒，共计100+条蚯蚓，每条重复操作。
作为实验主力的王昊宇有着深刻感触，那双曾经为香蕉做缝合的超级稳手，派上了关键用场。
即便是丝毫不起眼的器皿清洗依然藏着“不轻松”——要对烧杯试管等大大小小的瓶瓶罐罐反复清洗N多次，也喜欢在家中帮妈妈分担家务的周静函，竟找到一种当家主妇的感觉。
……
艰难困苦还好克服，学术力不足怎么办？
他们在导师指导下，大胆尝试，反复试错。在校园长期学术氛围的有力熏陶下，已初具一定学术素养的三位学子海量无障碍阅读了大量国内外学术文献，土壤科学、微生物学、生态学及化学分析等多学科知识在上百篇论文的“浸泡”下被慢慢吃透。
小学就已入读王府的周静函和陶成溪，对实验室、精密仪器及操作并不陌生，他们在每年科学节项目中所积累的学术思维和研究经验更是带来了不小的助力。
▲总决赛答辩瞬间
过程中，当新的棘手问题频出，大家就咬紧牙关压缩时间，反复调整实验计划和方案；实验操作有一点点缪误，实验结果出不来，就反反反复复精进练习，提升实操技能。
即便在导师的指导下，已十分注意时间的有效管理和平衡，但在半决赛前的关键一周，面对冲刺备赛和校内考试的双重压力，三人不得不每天加班加点到半夜，熟睡的星空见证了他们每一次奋战后的疲惫身影。
哪怕赛前看到国内外知名强劲队伍那一刻的喜悦和上场前拉着导师不停地梳理思路找节奏，也无法让紧绷的神经得到半分松弛，直到站在答辩场上直面两排国内外权威教授的无形压力和考验他们真正实力的终极一役，学子们的磨砺之旅才终于缓缓画上了休止符。
历经重重磨砺，在崎岖山路上奋力攀登的勇士，终将迎来苦涩后的香醇。

成长蜕变之乐：
甜蜜与收获共谱荣耀乐章
据陶成溪和王昊宇回忆，入围半决赛和总决赛的两次喜讯，是从周静函在班内的惊喜尖叫声中获悉的。
对于斗志昂扬的青少年来说，历经磨砺后收获的喜悦，总是来得更加记忆犹新。很多暖心事及幸福瞬间，反而会随着时间的流逝变得愈发清晰。
比如，在全校诸多师长的精心指导下，于模拟答辩中反复演练、师生合力冲刺时的那股劲头和温馨；
当第一次走到清华大学西门，看到游客们只能于门外游览拍照，自己却可直接刷卡进入时的那份快感和荣耀；
当赛后幸运地拿到丘成桐老先生现场签名时的那份激动和喜悦；
晚宴中与答辩时的教授们轻松交流，获得教授们高度肯定时的那份欣慰和满足；
与其他优秀参赛队伍中的青年学子互换微信时的那份愉悦和惺惺相惜；
当周静函站于获奖感言分享中，大方走到台前感谢学校倾心培养的所有老师，并掷地有声地大声说道：“王府学校还有很多新生力量，来年还会再回赛场”时的自信和豪情；
……
当然不仅仅是一幕幕难忘瞬间的甜蜜感受，那些实实在在的收获恰恰支撑起了最宝贵的财富。
周静函在对压力和情绪管理上，变得更加成熟，自我表达力获得了大幅度提升，“是学校中西合璧的培养让我既有中式的含蓄又有西式的表达，把我打磨得更加全面，我很喜欢现在的自己。”
陶成溪强烈地感觉到自己在心态和习惯上有了显著进步，“在研究过程中，真的要积极面对错误，很多时候错误可能是打开新思路的开端。”
王昊宇对自身学术能力的薄弱环节有了更全面认识，对未来升学也有了更多想法和从容，“当在实验室看到卢知柔学姐考入剑桥前用过的烧杯时，我感到自己冲向名校的马达便已加速运转了。”
细数丘奖途中一幕幕的痛与乐，每一个细节都值得慢慢回味。
▲在清华大学参赛期间留影
此刻，赛后的学子们正在马不停蹄地参加EPQ学术项目，期待自己的学术素养和申请竞争力在专业的打磨中获得进一步的提升，并在为高二期末尾声的学业收官做最后的冲刺。
对于未来，他们也都怀揣着自己的憧憬——虽然并非每人都确定自己会进军哪所大学，但生化方向却已成为他们心中最为理想的专业目标。
此刻，所有荣誉都只是台阶，一切都不急于盖棺论定。成长尚有一切可能。
This year marks the second consecutive year that BRS has won an award in biology at the international finals of the 2024 Shing-Tung Yau High School Award. The Shing-Tung Yau High School Award, a highly prestigious award and rigorous competition, is known as the "Nobel Prize for Chinese Youth". It is a testament to our pursuit of academic excellence and the quality of education our students receive at BRS.
Even though the competition is over, when we interviewed the three 17-year-old Year 11 students who won this year's awards, we were surprised by something unexpected - they hadn't even started their formal studies of biology before entering the competition.
What gives them the courage to take on such a challenge, especially when that challenge is once again a fight for the defense of honor? The story may begin after last year's award.
Zhou Jinghan, who was in her first year of high school at the time, was inspired to take up the mantle when she heard that her BRS seniors had won the 2023 Shing-Tung Yau Global Award. She immediately had the right teammates in mind - Tao Chengxi, who had scored over 100 points on the TOEFL in his first year of high school, and Wang Haoyu, a typical straight-A student who had won many chemistry competitions. Zhou Jinghan believed that her leadership skills, developed through her roles as student council president and class president, would give the small team a number of advantages.
The three students had a bittersweet experience during their year-long preparation for and participation in the competition. In preparation, the three students learned various professional skills, including soil grinding, anatomy, experimentation, soil science, microbiology, ecology and chemical analysis. During the competition, they experienced memorable moments such as being recognized by the judges and professors, competing with high calibre teams, and making great strides in academic strength, communication, teamwork and English language skills.
Reflecting on this journey, Zhou Jinghan said, "It is the school's combined Chinese and Western cultivation that has prepared me well to become a more versatile person, and I like myself very much now"; Tao Chengxi felt strongly that he had made significant progress in his mindset, "In the research process, we really have to face mistakes positively, and very often mistakes can be the beginning of new ideas". Wang Haoyu has a deeper understanding of his own weaknesses in academic ability and a firmer belief in his own aspirations: "When I saw the beaker in the lab of BRS graduate Lu Zhirou, who is currently studying at Cambridge, I felt that the engine of my dream had already accelerated.
