Features: Are gifted children born or can they be nurtured? Anlu's growth experience allows us to explore the mystery of "genius." Anlu's intelligence was innate, but without the insightful guidance and dedicated cultivation of his parents, he would not have become well-rounded in morals, intellect, physical fitness, social skills, and aesthetics, breaking free from the stereotypical image of a genius. His compassion for impoverished children in the world, embodying the spirit of "feeling hungry as if one were hungry oneself, and feeling drowned as if one were drowning oneself," is the most dazzling light on the halo of a genius, making him "more than just a genius." In this book, Anlu reveals his growth process without reservation. The honors, setbacks, frustrations, and embarrassments he experienced allow us to understand the extent to which geniuses crave knowledge, how seriously and sincerely they approach life, and how to truly grasp the meaning behind Edison's saying, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." Publishing this book, as Anlu himself said, "is to share my learning experience with students and teachers in China." His experience is unlikely to be replicated by anyone, but his proactive, autonomous, and eager attitude toward learning, as well as his serious, focused, and systematic learning plan, are something every student can emulate. His parents' "education of love" is something every parent or teacher can draw inspiration from.
