A STUDENT from Shatoujiao in Yantian District was recently admitted to Cambridge University.

　Li Mo, 18, went to the United Kingdom to study three years ago. He has won many titles in various maths’ contests while studying at the university’s Bedford School. His classmates have nicknamed him the Chinese maths’ god.

　“Maths played an important role in my admission to Cambridge,” Li said.

　He had two As in maths but a B in physics.

　Li said Cambridge refused 3,000 students with four As on average every year. His admission owed a lot to his outstanding maths’ scores and his performance in many maths’ contests in the U.K.Li said he wanted to be an actuary in future as China had few actuaries at present while the nation’s insurance industry was developing quickly.He said he should thank his parents, who are both master’s degree holders, and very strict with his study.
