Following the voice, when he saw the person who greeted him, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately recognized him.

Academician Wang Shicheng, Chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society!

At the 15-year conference of Chinese mathematicians, he had a relationship with this academician Wang.

Lu Zhou still remembers that he was at Beijing Normal University at the time, and he was still studying for a master's degree, and he went to the conference with Academician Lu, and also received the Chern Prize in Mathematics at the meeting.

Unlike the international Chern Prize, the domestic Chern Prize in Mathematics is not a lifetime achievement award, but is similar to the Fields Medal and focuses on young scholars. However, the age limit is different, relaxed to 50 years old.

"Long time no see!" Smiled and held Academician Wang Shicheng's outstretched right hand, Lu Zhou then looked at the three men next to Academician Wang, and continued to ask, "Who is this?" ”

Academician Wang smiled, and first introduced the one closest to him: "This is the secretary general of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Cheng Dayue. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Hello Professor Cheng! ”

"Where am I professor? Professor Zhang and Professor Xu are professors, you can call me Secretary Cheng. Cheng Dayue smiled embarrassedly and said.

Hearing Professor Zhang and Professor Xu, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately guessed the identities of the other two people next to him.

"The two are Zhang Wei and Xu Chenyang?"

Before Zhang Wei could speak, Academician Wang Shicheng said with a smile: "I was about to introduce it to you, but I didn't expect you to guess it." ”

Looking at the two scholars, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, the two great gods are also here, it's really a blessing." ”

In addition, there is a cloud god, when he was studying at Jinda before, he could always hear the names of several great gods, but unfortunately he has never seen them. I didn't expect to have this opportunity to meet today.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Wei Shen is real, my godhead is still a little worse. It's better to say that my side is, I have admired the name of the land god for a long time! Shaking hands with Lu Zhou, Xu Chenyang smiled and said politely.

Zhang Wei coughed lightly a little awkwardly, "...... Don't call it this name, it's embarrassing. ”

Looking at several young scholars who were chatting happily, Academician Wang Shicheng smiled and proposed, "I wonder if Professor Lu will have time for a while?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Academician Wang Shicheng said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I think if you're not busy, let's go have a meal or something." I know there's a nice restaurant nearby, at least a lot better than the lunch provided by the hotel. ”

The "Brazilian-style" lunches provided by the hotel were really not good, and it happened that Lu Zhou didn't plan to eat here, so he smiled heartily and agreed.

"No problem, let's go!"

……

On the other side, the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the office in the corner of the research institute, watching the interview of the CCTV reporter on the TV, Xiang Huanan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I used to think that kid had the ability and would definitely do something in the future, but I didn't expect him to be so competitive that he even won the Fields Medal."

The highest honor a mathematician under the age of 40 is the Fields Medal, which has never been done in the nearly 100 years since the award was founded.

As for the Chern Prize and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, these are awards of a lifetime achievement and have nothing to do with young scholars under the age of 40.

After all, to evaluate and thank a person who is not even 40 years old for his contribution to the cause of mathematics in this life sounds like a curse for dying young......

Watching the news projected on TV, Academician Wang Xiping, who was sitting on the sofa in the office, was also smiling and sincerely happy for Lu Zhou.

But after a while, he suddenly thought of several students of Yan University, his expression was a little melancholy, and he sighed: "It's a pity." ”

Xiang Huanan glanced at his old friend and said with a smile: "What's the pity." ”

Shaking his head, Wang Xiping's expression was very regretful.

"Among the post-80s scholars, the group that graduated in 2000 was the most outstanding, among which Zhang Wei and Yun Zhiqi were particularly outstanding. and Xu Chenyang, who has returned to China, and so on...... Originally, in our opinion, these young talents were all expected to hit the Philippine Awards, but we didn't expect them to be wiped out. ”

In particular, Zhang Wei, during his doctoral period, found a method for his supervisor Zhang Shouwu to study the modular problem in the Kudala conjecture in only three months, and wrote a thesis in the second year of his doctorate, which was shocked by the domestic mathematical community for a while. When he won the Ramanujan Prize, it greatly boosted the morale of the domestic mathematics community.

Wang Xiping is a professor at Yan University, and he has also heard of the rumors circulating on the campus of Yan University.

Many young students in the academy worship Zhang Wei and call him "Wei God".

It can be seen that in the eyes of scholars of the new and old generations, this genius is highly respected.

However, no one expected that in the end, the genius would miss out on the Fields Medal crown.

Looking at his old friend with a pity on his face, Xiang Huanan smiled.

"You should be happy if you can get it, and it's okay if you can't get it. Behold, it is you people who put pressure on them all day long, and disturb their minds. What is it called? It's called killing! ”

"Lao Xiang, what you said is a bit of a curse," Hearing this, Wang Xiping was suddenly unhappy, "Our Yan University's attitude towards talents is one of the best in both domestic and international markets, so what's wrong with placing expectations on our students?" Why did you come to you to be killed? ”

"You are a professor of Yan University, do you have any doubts in your heart?" Xiang Huanan smiled and continued, "If you want me to say, what's wrong if you can't get it?" Can the sky still fall? Can you still go for the Fields Medal to study mathematics? ”

Wang Xiping shook his head: "I know, of course, I don't want to win awards for my studies, so I just feel sorry for him." ”

Looking at his old friend who was a little depressed, he comforted Huanan a few words: "Saiong lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing, and there was nothing to regret." This miss is also a good thing for him. At least he can let go of his baggage and study mathematics without distractions, and he may not be able to do more in the future. ”

"I won't talk to you about this," after a pause, looking at the picture on the TV, Wang Xiping sighed, "But to be honest, Professor Lu is also powerful enough, I heard that the 45-minute report meeting on the analysis of number theory grouping at this conference was done by his Ukrainian student." ”

"You mean Kakutani guesses, I've read that paper, and it's really written at a very high level," he picked up the thermos cup, took a sip of tea to the academician, and continued, "He really has a good understanding and application of mathematical methods, and it's not surprising that he can teach such a student." Not only the Ukrainian student, but also Qin Yue, who was born in the university, and the Brazilian student, I don't know which of them is better, but one thing is certain, within ten years, one of these three people will be expected to challenge for the Fields Medal. ”

Wang Xiping asked thoughtfully, "That student named Qin Yue also has a chance?" ”

Xiang Huanan raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "What, you want to dig him up to your Yanda?" ”

Wang Xiping smiled embarrassedly: "Professor Lu, please don't move, it's no problem to invite his students." ”

Xiang Huanan smiled and shook his head. "It's still too late for you to make a move, as far as I know, the recommendation letter of the Thousand Talents Program has been written on the side of the Chern Institute of Mathematics."

Wang Xiping was surprised: "They move so fast? ”

"It's not that they're fast, it's that you're slow!" Putting down the thermos cup in his hand, Xiang Huanan looked at his old friend and smiled, "The tutor is so good, can the students not be in demand?" ”
