Features: The subject Olympiad for primary and secondary schools (abbreviated as "subject Olympiad") is one of the most extensive, widely participated, and influential student subject competitions in China. The subject Olympiad draws inspiration from and extends the concept of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the International Physics Olympiad (IPHO), the International Chemistry Olympiad (ICHO), and other internationally renowned middle school subject competitions, which attract millions of young students every year. The reason for such widespread attention lies in the Olympiad's strong emphasis on innovation, flexibility, comprehensiveness, and the cultivation of students' exploration skills and innovative awareness. These are precisely the core elements of quality education, which are also essential for future development.
Based on years of in-depth research on this activity both domestically and internationally, as well as a vast collection of high-quality books in this category, the Editorial Board of the Subject Olympiad for Primary and Secondary Schools has invited outstanding educators dedicated to this field from all over the country to compile and publish a series of Olympiad books titled Gold Medal Olympiad and Gold Medal School. These series cover seven subjects—mathematics, Chinese, English, physics, chemistry, biology, and informatics—with over 200 varieties. In terms of variety, quantity, and quality, our Olympiad books are among the most influential in both domestic and international circles and hold the greatest appeal in the hearts of primary and secondary school teachers and students.
The purpose and characteristics of the Gold Medal Olympiad and Gold Medal School series are as follows:

It aims to cultivate interest, develop intelligence, and enhance abilities.
2. Accurate: Scientifically precise and logically structured. Each book is designed according to the characteristics of the subject, scientifically organized, and follows a progressive approach, offering in-depth yet accessible analysis and comprehensive problem-solving methods.
3. Innovative: Features novel and engaging question types.
