This series is compiled by the Editorial Department of Primary and Secondary School Subject Olympiads and is a research outcome of Beijing Step-by-Step Quality Education Research Institute. Since its publication by the Olympic Press, it has stood out uniquely and is deeply loved by teachers, parents, and students. After significant revisions, re-editions, or complete rewrites, it has been renamed "Golden Medal Olympiad" and "Golden Medal School" series and is now re-published by Jinghua Publishing House.

The Primary and Secondary School Subject Olympiad (abbreviated as Subject Olympiad) is one of China's most extensive, widely participated, and influential subject competition activities for primary and secondary school students. Subject Olympiads are inspired by and derived from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the International Physics Olympiad (IPHO), the International Chemistry Olympiad (ICHO), and other internationally influential middle school subject competitions that attract millions of young students every year. The reason for such widespread attention lies in the strong innovation, flexibility, and comprehensiveness of the Olympiads, as well as their focus on cultivating students' exploration skills and inspiring their 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 number of outstanding books in this category, the Editorial Department of Primary and Secondary School Subject Olympiads has invited outstanding educators from across the country who are dedicated to this field to compile and publish a series of books titled "Golden Medal Olympiad" and "Golden Medal School," covering seven subjects—mathematics, Chinese, English, physics, chemistry, biology, and information—with over 200 varieties. In terms of the variety, quantity, and quality of our Olympiad books, they are among the most influential in the industry both domestically and internationally, and are considered the most appealing to primary and secondary school teachers and students.
The purpose and characteristics of the "Golden Medal Olympiad" and "Golden Medal School" series are as follows:
High: Derived from textbooks but exceeding them. Derived from textbooks means referencing the latest [curriculum standards] of the Ministry of Education; exceeding them means closely aligning with competition syllabi at all levels, ensuring comprehensive alignment in content, question types, and skill requirements, thereby fostering interest, developing intelligence, and enhancing abilities.
Accurate: Scientifically precise and structurally sound. Each book is designed hierarchically based on subject characteristics, scientifically organized, and follows a progressive approach, offering in-depth yet accessible analysis and comprehensive, detailed problem-solving methods.
Innovative: The book features novel and engaging question types. It compiles the essence of recent Olympiad, middle school, and high school exam questions from both China and abroad, representing the highest level of current Olympiad standards and reflecting new concepts in curriculum reform, as well as innovative ideas, methods, and trends in competition question-setting.
Refined: Carefully selected examples are challenging yet logical, flexible, and achievable. The focus is on generalizing from specific examples, applying knowledge to different contexts, and encouraging multi-solution, multi-variable, and multi-question approaches. It emphasizes training thinking skills without resorting to rote memorization, making learning an enjoyable interest and hobby.
Renowned: Gathered are distinguished professors, elite teachers, subject leaders, and famous Olympiad gold medal coaches. The Editorial Department of Primary and Secondary School Subject Olympiads has invited them to contribute to the series.
