For the contestants from Xingnan Province this year, there's an even harsher situation.
Starting from the year before last, the mathematics competition level in Xingnan Province has already shown a general trend of decline, especially the proportion of people selected for the national mathematics training team has significantly decreased, so whether the Huaxia Mathematics Society will allocate as many spots to Xingnan Province as in previous years is in doubt this year.
There's nothing that can be done about it.
Firstly, the Strong Base Plan replaced independent admissions, reducing the appeal of competitions for Xingnan students.
After all, top universities like Huaqing and Yanbei, and strong second-tier universities like Shuangdan, Yu University, and Lin Jiao, don't enroll many students from Xingnan Province each year.
