Good afternoon, now it is 18 o'clock in China(GMT+8). Tonight I will take part in my 50th contest in Codeforces officially. Therefore I want to review what I have experienced in this 49 contests in the past 566 days (It was my first time to participate in the contest on 2013 May 30th Codeforces Round 186 (Div. 2))//excluding the contest during the black days of Codeforces at the beginning of this year.
-------------------------I'm a dividing line!-------------------------------------------------
Many friends have asked me why my rating graph is so amazing, in the talks in Codeforces or in the chatting software.
Before Codeforces Round 238 (Div. 1), I was struggled between expert and specialist, I even became pupil. At that time, becoming a candidate was my dream! I desire to enter the div1 room in order to take part in the contest with my friends [user:Cyin][user:d891320478][user:dlhham][user:eggeek]. These four users are my schoolmates and it is they that not only showed me the attraction of ACM as well as coding, but taught me a lot of algorithms and useful data structures. Now all of them are graduated from my university. It costed me nearly one years to learn the skill of programming and algorithm. This is all what I have done before Codeforces Round 238 (Div. 1). My teachers are my schoolmates (not only above four), the books (written by Liu Rujia in Chinese, I am sorry that it may not suitable for other countries ACMers) as well as the blog of my friends(millions of knowledge).
-------------------------I'm a dividing line!-------------------------------------------------
During the Codeforces Round 240 (Div. 1), I found that A is about number theory, B is a dp problem, D is about dp on the tree too! All of them are what I am good at because I love dp and maths(my nickname can show that~)! It was my first time to solve div1 D during the contest!
Then it comes to my summer holiday, it is the time my skill improved fastest, so does my rating. At that time, a series of "Chinese Round" appeared! What does it mean? It means a series of maths problems are waiting for me!! Amazing happen! The Chinese round makes my rating up up up! I became Grandmaster during Codeforces Round 268 (Div. 1). However I know this rating is so much higher than my real strength. As what I think, my rating get down back to International master until now.
Now I have two dreams: I wish I can become an International Grandmaster in the future, I think it is the dream of most of Codeforces users. And the other one is I hope I can get a gold medal during the regional contest of China before I am graduation!
Thanks for reading this blog, Good luck and Have fun in the contest tonight! Hope you can get a satisfying rank tonight!
I couldn't have said it any better :D .... you have just take me to a overview of your career and that just made me more eager to have a "amazing graph" too :D .... by the way I'm experiencing the same you just mentioned and hope to be in div1 one day ..... so good luck and wish you a high rating :D
Orz, Good job!
Good luck and have fun!
I wish you can become Grandmaster tonight! World Final kuangbin!
and he did it :)
He is so cool yesterday... I admire him very much and he is my hero!
Many Chinese misspelled WF. It should be World Finals instead of World Final.
black day, it must be bad for u
aha~because at that time, I dream for candidate so much... and the black days make my rating roll back to specialist again... I was so crazy at that day...
its obvious u write everywhere in black day blog
And I get a lot of down votes.......I feel sorry for those...
Good luck and get a high rating! I'm wandering whether I would become International Master in my 50th contest.
It is impossible to become International Master even you are rank#1 yesterday, but you become master again... Good job!

Wow, you are just amazing, I'm sure I'm inspired by your hard work.
By the way, could you tell me your team name in this year's ICPC regionals? I'm sure you have got a pretty high rank with such an amazing codeforces rating. As a newbie in ICPC, I just want to have a look at your ICPC result to inspire me more. I hope I can do as much as you can in future years.
My score in this year's regional contests may surprise you.... Because I haven't got any medal! ...... I thinks I should change my training way in the later year....
Last night's contest is also my 50th official contest. Actually I have two dreams, too. Wish your dreams come true, and I hope i can achieve my own dreams before Time Limit Exceed.
So I am curious that what dreams do you have?
It's like a novel of incentive, ACM is like a journey, later recalled, still be exciting! I still on the way to be a dragon warrior,and never give up!
