But Gao Xin, the boy's mother, has her worries. She told the reporter that his education is "her biggest concern", because she doesn't want her son to develop at the expense of his childhood, especially when he says he wants to be with his friends.

People have different opinions on the math genius' further education, as evidenced by 3,482 comments and 1,875 reposts that Gao's story on Huashang Daily's official account on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo received.

"For the highly intelligent children, it's recognized at home and abroad that different educational tools should be tailored for these children in case their unusual abilities disappear after being ignored in their daily lives," said Zi Yanyang, head of the admissions office at Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Zi's viewpoint garnered support from many Internet users. Feixue said: "It's necessary to let the child get tailored education, especially when China lacks expertise."

However, some voices asked for all-round development for the eight-year-old boy.

"Just like the growth of vegetables, children also need time to develop themselves to be physically and mentally healthy grown-ups. Growing up shouldn't give way to developing one's talent," said Li, whose son is a fifth grade student.

Li went on to say, "Individual quality, good personality, physical and mental health, all these constitute the most key factors for a child's growing up."

Many Internet users voiced support for Li's opinion. For example, web user changsang said,"It's good enough to teach him to be a good person", which got 6,099 supports.

Anyone who wonders how the child prodigy Gao thinks about math problems can challenge themselves with this problem, which Gao solved. Have a try! You can compare your solution with his.

Question: There are 170 students in Tiantian Kindergarten, and if three-fourths of the number of boys equals two-thirds of the number of girls, then how many boys and girls, respectively, are in the kindergarten?

Zaizai's solution: 3/4+2/3=9/12+8/12=17/12

170 ÷ 17/12=120

120 × 8/12=80（the number of boys）

120 × 9/12=90（the number of girls）

What's your solution?
