Chapter 418: Hope for Understanding

The quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians is held in St. Petersburg.

Shen Qi met many old friends in the field of mathematics at the hotel and the venue, and everyone talked cordially and exchanged ideas.

IMU presented Shen Qi with the Chern Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of mathematics.

The Chern Prize, which is awarded every four years, to one person at a time, is often awarded to mathematicians at an advanced age who have dedicated their lives to mathematics and achieved excellence.

IMU described Shen Qi's reason for winning the award as follows: "Shen Qi, a 26-year-old Chinese mathematician, has reached the pinnacle of mathematics in the past five years. ”

As the highest level of lifetime achievement in the international mathematical community, the Chern Prize carries a prize of up to $500,000.

Conventionally, the winner typically donates half of the $500,000 to an institution that advances mathematics.

Shen Qi followed this practice and donated $250,000 to the Nangang Mathematics Lovers Association to make some contributions to the development of mathematics in his hometown.

The Chern Shiingshen Award brings Shen Qi a basic reward of 1.5 million Xueba points, multiplied by the mathematics main talent coefficient of 2.0, and Shen Qi adds 3 million Xueba points.

The reporter interviewed Shen Qi: "Mr. Shen Qi, you won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 26, does it mean that you no longer have any desire in mathematics? We found that since you proposed the SL system and proved the Hodge conjecture, you have not made much progress in mathematics in the past year. ”

Shen Qi said: "There are still movements, but now I don't need to write math articles myself." I have a really great elite math team, and my role is to lead my team forward. I also want to retire early, but I can't help it, I can't quit now. Of course, there are still desires, and the day I get the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize is the day I retire. ”

The reporter asked again: "The Fields Medal will be awarded tomorrow, Professor Shen, do you have any predictions?"

Shen Qi: "I am very optimistic about Mr. Figali. ”

Reporter: "What else?"

Shen Qi: "I'm not a prophet, how do I know?"

Shen Qi's interview was @ given to the Wolf Foundation and the Norwegian government by a good reporter: "For the sake of the future of mathematics, please never award the Wolf Prize and the Abel Prize to Shen Qi." ”

The next day, the most important award in mathematics was awarded, the Fields Medal.

Shen Qi's prediction was quite accurate, and the first place was awarded to the Italian mathematician Figali.

Figari stayed up for several sessions and finally waited for the Philippine Award, but if he couldn't win the Philippine Award this time, he would be over 40 years old next time.

Shen Qi broadcast live, sending pictures and videos of the International Congress of Mathematicians to their center> Fei Jia in the video gave an acceptance speech in Italian, and suddenly his nose was sour as he spoke, and he snorted and cried.

Zhou Yu'an shouted excitedly in the group: "My mentor has won the Fei Award, awesome, Lao Fei! What is Lao Fei talking about, who knows how to translate it?"

Shen Qi translated: "Lao Fei said that he has loved football since he was a child, was selected for the Atlanta academy, and his dream is to become a member of the Italian national football team and win the World Cup. Football is his true love, mathematics is just a hobby, but he never expected that he had no achievements in the field of football, but he won a mathematics award when he was young, he felt sorry for himself, so he cried. ”

Zhou Yu'an didn't believe it: "Lao Fei is addicted to football, I know that he plays the goalkeeper position and has good footwork, but it is impossible for him to say so at the Philippine Awards." Also, old Shen, do you know the language?"

Shen Qi: "The simultaneous translator on site contains dozens of languages, one of which is Italian. ”

After speaking in his native language, Figari changed to English and said it again.

This time Zhou Yu'an understood, his Italian tutor really meant that, but it was not as exaggerated as Shen Qi said.

"I won the Philippine Award and was promoted to the big guy, what the big guys said was right, who made them the big guys. Zhou Yu'an learned a lot of valuable knowledge from Fei Jiali, but there is still a certain gap between him and his mentor in terms of pretending.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yu'an realized that pretending to be forced needs a stage, standing on that stage, how you like to pretend and how to pretend, the whole world will cheer for you.

The second place in this year's Philippine Prize is the German mathematician Scholz, he is very young, and if he can't win the Philippine Prize this time, he can survive for another session.

Colleagues from the Shen Qi Mathematical Research Center sighed: "Schultz, he still won the award after all." ”

Schultz, in his acceptance speech in English, said that his father was a physicist, his mother was a computer scientist and his sister was a chemist, and that there was a lack of a mathematician in their family, so he became a mathematician.

Xiao Junlong: "Things, calculations, transformations, and numbers, Schultz and his family can rule the world." ”

Zhou Yu'an: "One can be pretended to be better than the other! The Philippine Award Conference is forced to be assembled." ”

Cui Xiaoyi, who doesn't know mathematics, understands English, and she praised Schultz: "Blonde hair and long legs, this German brother is very handsome, and his whole family is a top student!"

Zhou Yu'an: "What's handsome, what if the whole family is a scholar, his wife ran away." ”

Cui Xiaoyi: "Ha? Seek the truth!"

Zhou Yu'an: "Ask Director Shen, he knows the truth." ”

Shen Qi said in the group: "Don't discuss other people's privacy, it's rude. Okay, that's all for today's live broadcast, send me a private message if you need me to bring a gift. ”

With two honors in mathematics and physics, Shen Qi returned to China.

Shen Qi handed over the two medals to Ou Ye for safekeeping, and kept the bonus for himself.

Bringing back 250,000 and 11,000 US dollars from Europe, Shen Qi spent tens of thousands of soft girl coins on dinner, paying out of his own pocket to share the joy with colleagues and friends.

As the first Chinese mathematician to win the Chern-Sing Prize and the Casteller Prize, he brought back two international science awards, and Shen Qi was commended by the state and Yan University.

There are verbal commendations, as well as material rewards.

There is a quiet vacant land not far from the west gate of Yanda, which is the land of Yanda, and the area is not large, which is enough to build a house and engage in greening in the surrounding area.

Today, the heads of relevant state departments and the dean of the School of Architecture of Yan University invited Shen Qi to come to the west gate of Yan University to inspect this piece of land.

"Professor Shen, is this area okay?" the leader of the relevant department asked Shen Qi what he meant.

Shen Qi observed for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

The leader said to the dean of the School of Architecture of Yan University: "Dean Han, then you will work hard for your School of Architecture, and produce drawings as soon as possible." ”

Dean Han looked at Shen Qi and sighed, "Professor Shen, there are not many people who can enjoy this kind of treatment, you are one." Don't worry, President Lu has explained to me that this house must be designed to a high level and unique in our School of Architecture, so that Professor Shen can live at ease and comfortably. ”

"Wait!" Shen Qi didn't know what to expect, he asked, "Two leaders, can we be specific?"

"That's right. The leader of the relevant department was responsible for the specific explanation, and he said: "Professor Shen, in view of your achievements over the years and the great contribution you have made to the country's scientific research, the state has decided to build you a brand new scholar's villa. The money for building the building was paid by the state, and the design was handled by the School of Architecture of Yan University. ”

"This ...... I can't afford it. Shen Qi waved his hand again and again, living in a villa is the treatment of academicians, and not every academician can enjoy the treatment of villas designed separately for him.

The School of Architecture of Mizuki University once designed a unique, beautiful and comfortable villa for Mr. Yang Zhenning, which served as a foothold for Mr. Yang after returning to China, which can be said to be the highest treatment given by the state in terms of housing.

The leader took Shen Qi's hand and said in his heart: "China has produced several Nobel Prizes, but the Fields Medal is only Professor Shen. ”

"Let you live in the elevator building, I have wronged you, you must enjoy the treatment of academicians. As far as I know, several academicians nominated Professor Shen as a co-opted academician last year, and whether you can be elected as an academician this year or not, it is the decision of the state to live in the villa first. Of course, it takes a certain amount of time to build a house, and before the house is built, Professor Shen still has to be wronged to live in the elevator building temporarily, I hope you understand. ”()
