主题：这个吴莹莹是谁？怎么什么谎都敢撒？ -- 锦候
这老外也有较真的.网上看了一下，这个吴莹莹还真的不是一般的牛。厉害！北师大也真的是扯淡！这回看怎么下台吧。
翻译了一个老外的文章，不过最后一点没翻，没兴趣了，整件事情太扯了。

Break Academic Corrupt Made by Young Students-Do You Believe A 21-Year-Old Talent?
Yingying Wu, the 21 year old “talented girl” from Peking Normal University, was recently announced “Vice President of Operation” in Asia by Topcoder. The third year girl, who is the new upcoming legend, has become a “promotional figure” by her University and the Ministry of Education.
The timeline is:Topcoder's press release on October 25; Press conference given by Wu and Beijing Normal University(now this school claim that they did not check on what she told them) on December 7; Chinese Media's glowing report on her between December 8 to December 10; then Chinese netter's digging and questioning followed by media's investigation.
So, should you believe what you hear?
From news media, we know that the girl is in possession of “over a hundred inventions and three national patents”[Source1, details on the inventions and patents].(Link in Chinese)
http://stu.people.com.cn/GB/65534/4736353.html
“Yingying Wu, class of 2007, Peking Normal University, is playing an impressive melody with her twenty years devotion. She has made more than one hundred inventions and three national patents during the past fifteen years in which she was devoted to innovation; for the first time, she has glorified her University by winning the international software design competition which is unprecedented…(from Chinese news report)”
“On her way to innovation in the past decade, she has never ceased achieving. These achievements include: more than one hundred inventions, three of which are patented in China and some other are in the process of international patent application…”
(From Chinese new report)
http://news.sohu.com/20061209/n246922261.shtml
Put it this way, “more than one hundred inventions and three national patents” are the corner stones of her legend. What are these inventions? What can be called an invention? I trust most of you have tried at some point to make handcrafts of some sort, so can we call Mr. Pumpkin on Halloween your new invention, despite how much effort you put into it or how many hours you spend carving it? We have no source whatsoever to validate how many inventions she really has because you can’t stop her from talking after all. But we did hear what she said during an interview with Sohu.com, a major Chinese website:”
“All my inventions originate from my life.”
Interviewer: “I am sure you remember your very first invention, so, can you tell me what had motivated you?”
Wu: “I think all my inventions are from life and based on life, like my first invention, the ‘water-absorbing flower pot’. I used to live with my grandpa when I was little, I saw him watering the flower with a water tank twice a day. I asked him why he had to water the flowers so frequently, and I was told that watering the flowers twice a day keeps the soil moist. I remembered what he said then. Then I said to myself: Is there a way in which my grandpa doesn’t have to water the flowers so frequently and meanwhile the flowers won’t die from drought? Then I read from the children’s encyclopedia that when you put one end of a towel in a basin full of water, keeping the other end out of the basin, the water can be emptied gradually. Then I got inspiration from it. By a lot of trials and modifications, I finally had this invention: I put a small flower pot inside a bigger one and filled the middle area with water. And I used a thread to connect them. This way, the flowers can keep moist all the time.”
Oh my God, we finally know what invention is! During the interview, she never again mentioned anything about her invention, but instead was more focused on her dances and readings.”
If we don’t have the proper sources to verify her “more than one hundred inventions”, then what we can search is her “three national patents”, right? If you are not familiar with patents, then you might think them as untouchable. But the truth is, almost anything, from an idea to a design, can be patented as long as you pay for it.
Now, let’s take a close look at her patents (searching from key words “Wu, Yingying” as one of the inventors)
http://211.157.104.66/sipo/zljs/default.htm
(Chinese website)
# Patent No. Patent Name
1 00113090.0
Dictionary Indexing and a Prompt way to look up in a Dictionary
2 99233230.3
A spoon with a hook
3 00223593.5
A prompt way to look up in a dictionary
4 01275751.9
Water recycling for Laundry, bathing and dishwasher
Out of which, “spoon with hook” is patent from a “Wu, yingying” born in Hubei Province (Not where she is born, which is indicative of the fact that this invention is from another person with the same name as hers), it says “Spoon with hook is a daily kitchen utensil composed of stem (1), spoon (2), and hook (3). The best advantage of the invention is that the spoon can be hooked up to a container to prevent itself from slipping into it. And it is easy to produce.”
As for the “water recycling one”, it is also not this “Wu, Yingying” we are talking about. So, the only inventions left for “our Yingying”are “ Dictionary Indexing and a Prompt way to look up in a Dictionary” and “A prompt way to look up in a dictionary”. As a matter of fact, her two inventions can be seen as one due to their duplication. Let’s have a look at it. “Abstract: This invention describes a speedy way to look up dictionaries including Chinese and English dictionaries, and also including teaching materials and literature. By labeling the first one or two letter that index the content in the dictionary, a quicker way to look something up can be achieved. This invention not also helps faster reading but also makes the dictionary less vulnerable to damages.”
Now you see what her invention really is. One of the reported invention”Fast Indexing Tech. for OPEN book Series”, however, is nowhere to be found in the database of patent office. The dictionary one was patented in the year 2000. (when she was 15). However, the contradictory fact is that she was reported as the winner of 2004 National College Student Venture Project because of the so called invention “Fast Indexing Tech. for OPEN book Series. Let’s think about that: isn’t that strange you can find her invention dating back to 2000 but no records of the big invention from year 2004?
The story on her “Silver Medal of 29th ACM International College Student Software Design” is yet more fishy, look:
http://www.sjtu.edu.cn/newsnet/newsdisplay.php?id=2971(Link, Chinese website)
From the link, it has been clearly stated that “Shanghai Jiaotong University is the ONLY Winner University from Asia, followed by Fudang University, Peking University and Hongkong University, ranking 6th, 11th, and 12th, respectively. We don’t see Peking Normal University at all!
http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=pressroom&d2=pr_102506
It is more ridiculous on her story “…she is the first Chinese to have been the ACM Chair Committee…”, the fact is there are no Chinese people (except for Chinese American professors) there in the committee. She is actually only a paid member of ACM, that’s all!
In a word, people have been fooled by some invalid reports. And then the girl is believed to be “a female scientist with more than one hundred inventions”, and “Chair Committee Member of ACM” and “Well known Vice President of Asia”, and “Silver Medal Winner of ACM Design Competition.” This whole thing is a joke!
Let’s wish her luck!
Topcoder and she tried to mislead the public that she is a graduate student at Stanford. However, she only joined a summer program for undergraduate students at Stanford (her blog http://acmwyy.spaces.live.com/blog/)
(Also See:
http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=pressroom&d2=pr_102506)
Wu is currently a student at California's Stanford University in the graduate program of the university's Department of Psychology.
In the interview, she misleaded the reporter that she gave up her master program in Stanford, but she is only a senior student in college. (http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/4883a5270100079r)
She also wrote Stanford as her graduated institute on her Instant messaging(QQ) contact information (http://news.cctv.com/society/20061215/100065_1.shtml)
Wu is a liar. First, she bragged about the 100 inventions she's made and the 3 patents she held; as it turned out, she only held 2 patents, all of which relating to a indexing method for dictionaries. She bragged about the silver medal she won at the ACM Asian contest; but the truth is that her team did win a silver medal at the local ACM prequalification contest, but later the medal was withheld by the organisers, because they found the university had a high school student on their team. She also bragged that two certain lines of her brain waves are longer than the ordinary people! God knows... What irritates the Chinese netters the most was the fact that her score at the National College Entrance Examination was only 514, much lower than what was required (590 points) to be admitted by Beijing Normal University. She explained she got admitted anyway because special considerations were given to her dancing talent. But the normal practice for such cases is that the requirement would be lowered by 50 points. The netters also found out that her grades were not high enough to got admitted by her senior high school (a top school in her home town), but coincidentally she also got admitted because special considerations were given to her dancing talents. I hope her dancing talents will help TopCoder succeed in China!
She is not currently a student in CSU. She just went into colledge of Beijing Normal Univer. in 2003. She is still an undergraduate!
由一个年轻学生引起的惊人的学术腐败—你相信一个21岁的天才吗？
吴莹莹，21岁的北京师范大学的“天才女孩”，最近被宣布为Topcoder亚洲的“副执行总裁”。三年级的女生，一个正在形成的传奇，已经被被她所在的学校和教育部树立成“宣传的典型”。
在12月7号由北京师范大学和吴莹莹本人召开的记者招待会上宣称，这个任命出现在Topcoder10月25号的新闻稿上。（现在学校方面声明他们没有确认她所说的话是否真实）；中国的媒体在12月8号到10之间热烈的对她（吴莹莹）进行了报道；然而中国的网民开始调查并且怀疑（这一切）接着媒体也加入了（调查的队伍）。
那么，你会相信你听到的事情吗？
从新闻媒体上，我们了解到这个女孩拥有“超过百种发明和3项国家专利”[来源1，发明和专利的详情]。（中文链接）
http://stu.people.com.cn/GB/65534/4736353.html
吴莹莹北京师范大学2007年的学生，正在以她20岁的虔诚谱写一出感人的旋律。在过去的15年以来她致力于发明完成了100项的发明和3项国家专利；（有史以来）第一次，她在国际软件设计竞赛中赢得了空前的胜利（来自中国的新闻报道），为她的大学带来了光荣。
“在她过去10年的发明路上，她从来没用停止追求。这些成就包括：超过100项的发明，3项中国国家专利同是还有一些发明正在申请国际专利。。。”
（来自中国的新闻报道）
http://news.sohu.com/20061209/n246922261.shtml
（让我们）从这个角度来看，“超过100项的发明和3项国家专利”是她的传奇的基石。什么是发明？什么可以被称作发明？我相信你们很多人都试过作工艺品或者这类的东西，那么我们是否可以把万圣节的南瓜先生称之为你的新发明，不管你多么努力或者你花了多少时间去雕刻它？无论如何我们没有线索可以确定她到底有多少的发明因为你毕竟不能停止她说话（吹牛）。但是我们确实听到了她在接受新浪网访问的时候说的话，sohu.com，一个主要的中国网站：
“我所有的发明来源于我的生活”
访问者：“我相信你一定记得你的第一个发明，那么，你是否可以告诉我是什么促使你（发明了它）？
吴：“我想我所有的发明都是来自生活并且基于生活，像我的第一个发明，‘节水花撒’。我小时候和我的爷爷一起住，我看见他每天两次用一个水箱浇花，同时我被告知每天浇两次水可以使土壤保持湿润。我记得他是这么说的。于是我对自己说：是不是可以找到一个办法我的爷爷不用这么辛苦的浇花同时花又不会干死？于是我查阅了少儿百科全书（那里说）当你把一条毛巾的一头放进一个专满水的池子里，把另一头放在池子外面，（池里的）水会逐渐的被耗尽。我从此得到启示。在多次的试验和改良后，我终于得到了这个发明：我把一个小的花撒放在一个大的花撒里面在它们的中间装满水。然后我用一条线连接它们。这样，花可以所有时间保持湿润。
奥我的老天，我们终于知道了这是什么发明！在采访的过程中，她绝没有再提起任何她的（其它）发明，而是改为专注于（谈论）她的舞蹈和阅读。
如果我们没有。。。。
（underline added）
妈的什么东西，不翻了，这个女的是谁？什么不要脸的话都敢说？这也叫发明？发你妈的头！北师大印象中不错的呀，怎么现在堕落成这个样子了？也难怪，成龙那个老流氓无耻之徒都能当北大教授。
什么东西？真的当天下人都是傻瓜？这和李大师吹牛有什么区别？
一群混蛋，浪费了我一个小时！
看过国内一些简历，都是工作几年的，看完了觉得中国尽出天才，连半个庸才都没有，那种手法也都一致，就是三分成绩吹成十分，你看多了就知道怎么解码，估计是所有人都在吹，整体社会风气如此，不能单怪一个人，也不过是奉行潜规则而已，可以谅解。
让我惊奇的是她是那种半分都没有可以吹成十分，连潜规则都给践踏了，而且还是官方树立的典型！这说明如果不是大学领导的脑子全体生锈，就是他们全体公然造假。从陈进的事来看，应该是后者的可能性更高。不仅如此，造假造到水平那么低劣没有一点技术含量，让民工磨芯片，随便乱吹一些网上就能核实的东西，证明了造假的根本就是肆无忌惮，不把整个社会放在眼内。
整个学校跟着丢人。
从至立教改撒谎开始，下面就都学会了。
就哪个女人原来还老想当副总理，接吴仪的班，做梦吧。
没有北师大做后盾,一个小孩子未必有这个胆子
行文相当讥讽刻薄...估计被激怒了...
这家既无名气也没有什么业绩的topcoder,现在赚到眼球，就可以马上向VC下一轮融资。这一个月从中国而来的点击可以达到上千万，一分钱都不花，这个公关做得漂亮，那位回国办企业的要学习了。
北师大跟吴莹莹都是被耍的猴子。
yes, we all know topcoder now, but we know it as a joke :D
这个什么topcoder公司。
比较郁闷的是，所有的新闻都称“著名的topcoder公司”（原话），看来俺比较寡闻。
