Chapter 199

Regardless of whether it was expected or not, the opening ceremony of this year's Mathematics Conference finally came to an end, and the two awards of Hua Luogeng and Chen Xingshen Mathematics Awards were also settled amidst applause.

Someone is not convinced?

If you are not convinced, you have to hold back!

The photographers on both sides of the venue clicked their shutters. As soon as the opening ceremony came to an end, the reporters sitting in the venue rushed towards the awarding platform.

A reporter from the "Daily Mail", the strongest headline party abroad, took the lead in asking questions.

"Professor Qiu, there are rumors that you have a bad relationship with the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University. Is this true?"

Qiu Chengtong said with a smile: "Of course it's fake. My old brother Wang Shicheng and I are old friends, and we often communicate with each other. Brother Wang, don't you think so?"

A stiff smile appeared on Wang Shicheng's old face, and he said, "Of course, I have a lot of admiration for Mr. Qiu's work in the field of partial differential equations!"

He did not lie in this statement, and did not comment on the contradiction between Yan and Qiu. Qiu Chengtong's position in the academic world is indeed irrefutable. He can be called the first Chinese mathematician after Chen Shengshen. up.

Try another weaker person?

Already shot a few to death.

Old Mr. Qiu has a straightforward temper, can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and can't understand the style of some domestic academics, but he doesn't care about the occasion. It's called Wendou to yell in the newspapers, but it's swearing in the face, and it's a joke.

We are all masters of the generation, and we still have to have the demeanor we should have.

What's more, the chairman and secretary-general of the International Mathematical Union are here, no matter how conflicted one's own people are, they still have to be kind on the outside.

On the other side, it was not only Qiu Chengtong and several bigwigs who were surrounded by reporters, but also the winners of the Hua Luogeng Award and the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award.

Especially Lu Zhou.

What a surprise for a twenty-one-year-old winner!

For those journalists, it is breath-taking news!

A domestic reporter snatched it up, chased after Lu Zhou and asked.

"Mr. Lu Zhou, may I ask how you feel about winning the Chern Prize in Mathematics?"

Lu Zhou laughed: "Aside from being excited, I have no other feelings!"

Another foreign reporter caught up and asked questions in fluent Chinese.

"Mr. Lu Zhou, it is rumored that Professor Qiu has a close personal relationship with your master supervisor, Academician Lu, and this time the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award was awarded to you by the Huaguo Mathematical Society under the direction of Qiu Chengtong. Is this true?"

Lu Zhou rolled his eyes and pushed the question back: "This is the first time I met Professor Qiu. He is a respectable scholar. Regarding the interpersonal relationship of the seniors, please interview me. No comment!"

"Mr. Lu Zhou, I want to interview you, can I add your WeChat?"

It seems that a young lady from the journalism department of Beijing Normal University has also mixed in.

However, is Lu Zhou the kind of person who will be seduced by beauty?

of course not!

Therefore, in order to avoid being entangled by this young lady, Lu Zhou chose to accept an interview...

Faced with the questions thrown by the cannonballs, the surrounded Lu Zhou only felt his scalp tingle, and he responded with a smile while breaking through the crowd.

MMP, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to receive an award.

But looking back at his Senior Brother Yang, he was able to handle such a scene with ease, and his simple and honest fat face always had a smile that no one would offend.

Finally breaking through the auditorium of Beijing Normal University, Lu Zhou got into Senior Brother Yan's car at the school gate.

"Where is Academician Lu?"

"Academician Lu went to drink with old friends at noon, and we went back to the hotel to eat." After a pause, Yan Xinjue said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu, yes! You won the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Award in your twenties, when you are thirty years old I'm afraid even Fields has got it."

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, coughed lightly and said, "Speaking of which, how did you know in advance?"

"I also found out by accident, mainly because of Academician Lu's supernatural powers. I guess he heard the news from Mr. Qiu, and then I overheard him when he said something while drinking," Yan Xinjue said while driving , and said with a smile, "Actually, I wanted to tell you, but Academician Lu refused, so you probably can't blame me."

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "No, no, how could it be possible to blame you, this matter really cannot be leaked."

Yan Xinjue asked: "What's next? Are you going to continue to develop in the direction of mathematical physics?"

"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, and said in a chatty tone, "Mathematics is an important scientific research tool, like a sword, it can be applied to any subject. And a scholar who studies pure mathematics, so The job I do is more like a blacksmith. But my interest is not just blacksmithing, I am also very interested in using swords.”

Senior Brother Yan said with emotion: "Yes, this pretense is perfect. I look forward to the day when you stand on the podium in Stockholm."

The podium in Stockholm, of course, refers to the Dynamite Awards.

However, this award, which is only awarded to the most important discoveries in the subject, is not so easy to win.

Lu Zhou smiled and replied, "I hope so."

...

The opening ceremony of the 12th session of the Huaguo Mathematics Association came to an end. In the afternoon, a formal representative meeting was held to revise the constitution of the meeting as usual, and to elect the next board of directors, as well as the secretary-general and chairman.

While the meeting was in progress, the news about Lu Zhou swiped the screen on the scarf.

I have to admire the journalists on the Internet. A press release of hundreds of words was written in the blink of an eye.

Coupled with an eye-catching title and a short video, it's big news.

【Shock! The Chern Prize in Mathematics was actually awarded to a 21-year-old young man! 】

[Fields Medal in China, take stock of those who have won the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Award...]

【No one expected that this year's Chern Mathematics Award would be won by him! 】

【…】

Without any surprises, this explosive news was once again popularly searched by enthusiastic netizens.

Looking at the young winner standing on the awarding platform in the short video, the comment section of a self-media scarf that first posted this news has been maxed out.

[What is the Chern Mathematics Award? I have only heard of the Chern Cup Mathematics Competition T.T]

[Shake hands upstairs, and Hua Luogeng Cup! I participated in it more than ten years ago when I was still in elementary school, and I won a second prize at that time, and I have been working this year! 】

[21 years old, isn't this too young? I remember that the recipients of awards in the past were all middle-aged people in their forties or fifties...]

【…】

Lu Zhou is still unclear about the heated discussions on the Internet.

Because that night, he attended the dinner held by the Huaguo Mathematical Society.

As the winner of the Chern Shiingshen Mathematics Prize and the youngest winner, Lu Zhou naturally became the star of the banquet.

It doesn't even matter how proactive he is, almost all young scholars will not let go of his chance to chat and make friends.

And those scholars of the older generation also mostly praised him, a young, promising and humble junior.

Even the leader of the Yan University faction, academician Wang Shicheng, chairman of the Huaguo Mathematics Society, although he disliked Qiu Chengtong, he did not carefully involve his personal grievances on the younger generation.

Not only that, he even expressed high affirmation of Lu Zhou's research work in front of many people, and threw an olive branch to him, asking him if he had any ideas about coming to Yanda for a Ph.D.

I have to say that this proposal is indeed very attractive, and Yanda is the sky in Huaguo's mathematics circle. With Yanda's resources and his academic capital, it will not be difficult to be the youngest academician at that time.

However, people still have to talk about the spirit of the contract. Lu Zhou has already agreed to the talent training plan of Jinling University, and it would be a bit silly to change his mind suddenly.

Therefore, he tactfully declined the invitation, and explained the reasons to Mr. Wang. He had already received an offer from Princeton, and planned to study for a Ph.D. in Princeton in the second half of next year.

After hearing about his plan, Mr. Wang seemed to have anticipated this, so he didn’t say much, but simply said that if he had the idea of ​​teaching or giving lectures at Yanda University after graduation, Yanda’s school gates would be open at any time. Opening up to him, he dangled away to another place.
