Chapter 132: The Butcher Mathematician
Chen Xu can imagine the status of Old Man Wei in the minds of these mathematicians, even if Wei Zhongxiang has been in the dark for a long time, but he can't hide the edge of his first-class mathematician. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat's more, even after being imprisoned in the cowshed, he has never stopped his research, and his mathematical attainments have not declined with age, but have become more and more fragrant like old wine.
Wei Zhongxiang has devoted his life to mathematical research, and at the same time does not forget to communicate with domestic counterparts about the progress, in the forefront of domestic mathematical research in this small circle, the old man is the leader, his breakthrough ideas are very powerful inspiration for everyone.
It's no wonder that after Old Man Wei entered the door, many math experts in the room would get up to greet him.
"Lao Liang, why didn't you die!" As soon as they met, Wei Zhongxiang hugged an old man with a meaty face at the front, and it was obvious that the two had a good relationship.
"You didn't even enter the coffin, how could I die! Lao Wei, we said goodbye last time, how many years haven't we seen each other. Liang Yishan looked up and down at the old man and responded excitedly.
Liang Yishan is the most powerful mathematician found in Hunan Province after the implementation of the talent rescue plan!
When I first found this old man, he actually cut pork at the meat stall in the vegetable market, who would have thought that such a ferocious looking slaughterer, after returning home at night, would use a small lamp in the simple study to conduct topological research.
Liang Yishan was an international student at Moscow University, studying for a PhD in the Department of Mathematical Mechanics of Moscow University, and the University is still a global center of mathematics, and all the professors in its Department of Mathematical Mechanics are top mathematicians, and it is necessary to be taught by them.
Liang Yishan was fortunate to enter MSU, but unfortunately, with the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, he returned to China ahead of schedule before the course was completed.
Lao Liang didn't know how to be a man, and after returning to China, he offended the leader, and no one was willing to help him during the convulsions, which led to his degeneration into a butcher's business. However, the life of the Lower Riba did not dampen his enthusiasm for mathematical research, and this old man would tirelessly study the 'differential topology' at the forefront of mathematics every night, and never interrupted for a day.
Ten years ago, there was a child next door to Lao Liang's house who was very interested in mathematics, and Lao Liang's research on topology was very boring.
After the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, this child was admitted to Shonan University with a perfect score in mathematics. At that time, this kid's mathematical attainments had surpassed all the math tutors in the university, and no one could teach him, and he was in the limelight for a while, and he was known as the 'Prince of Shonan Mathematics'.
When the notice of Chen Xu's talent rescue plan was sent to Shonan University, the prince of mathematics was selected as a special talent, and his mentor Liang Yishan naturally attracted the attention of the talent rescue team. Because they all lived in Xiangping City, Chen Xu, who learned about this, took the time to go to Lao Liang's house in person.
When the two met for the first time, Chen Xu asked Lao Liang how high his mathematical level was, and how he compared with those academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a result, Lao Liang was despised for a while, although he did not deny that the scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were all cattle, but Lao Liang still looked down on them, except for a few real masters worthy of his eyes, the other academicians were just chickens and dogs.
After listening to this old man's self-report, Chen Xu finally knew why he was reduced to chopping pork, the old man is a typical person with high IQ and low emotional intelligence, he is simply an arrogant maniac, his personality is very bad, and he communicates with people straightforwardly, and he was not killed in the political environment of the sixties and seventies, which is really fateful.
Chen Xu himself is engaged in physics, and his mathematical skills are also very deep. He looked through Old Man Liang's research over the years and found that his mathematical attainments were indeed extraordinary, and many papers were more than enough to be published in the world's four top mathematics journals.
Since he is a real talent, of course Chen Xu will not let his talent be wasted on chopping pork, and soon both the master and apprentice were invited to the Southern Heavy Industry Industrial Park to contribute to the mathematics promotion plan.
Both Liang Yishan and Wei Zhongxiang were the country's top mathematicians before the 80s, and they had conducted project research together, knew each other, and cherished each other.
"It's been almost thirteen years, you returned from the Soviet Union in 64, when we worked together on mathematical calculations in a secret project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I thought I would never see you again after parting, but I didn't expect to meet again now with gray hair." Seeing each other, Wei Zhongxiang was also full of emotion.
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years but we met here, and we are destined to work together to do another big thing, and we will die with face." Liang Yishan patted his old friend's shoulder heavily, and said with high morale.
"I said two, you don't need to live or die when you first meet. Both of them are great powers in the mathematical community, and the longer they live, the greater their contribution to the country, and their death is a major loss to the country. Chen Xu couldn't see these two old men being such mothers-in-law, so he stepped forward and interjected.
The two old men gave up, and then the old man Wei reminisced with the other people in the room, and there were endless words to each other.
About two hours later, after dinner, under the personal chairmanship of Chen Xu, Wei Zhongxiang began his first discussion meeting after taking over the position of head of the Mathematics Promotion Project Department.
Do you have a concept of how to promote mathematics in China? What is the way to promote, please come up with a goal and a plan. "Wei Zhongxiang is meticulous in doing things, since Chen Xu asked him to sit in this position, then he must do things well.
Because it was the first time to hold a seminar, everyone didn't know what to say, and seeing that the atmosphere in the room was relatively silent, Chen Xu took the lead in speaking: "First of all, we must make it clear that this mathematics promotion plan is divided into two parts, one is to work the textbook outline and textbooks of primary and secondary schools, and ask you, the mathematicians and educators with a high level in China, to compile it." At the same time, set up a key class of Olympiad mathematics in each school, this class is not a traditional mathematics improvement class, but to often go to the city, the province of mathematics summer camp nature activities, and more children who like mathematics together for mathematical research training, this kind of summer camp I ask you mathematics masters to give lectures, so that children can see the demeanor of mathematics masters. This summer camp focuses on developing children's interest in mathematics and discovering talented mathematically gifted talents to guide them on the path of scientists. In addition, the other is to promote mathematical knowledge among the people, mainly around mathematics competitions, newspapers and magazines and supporting Olympiad interest classes, to guide the common people to become interested in mathematics. ”
After Chen Xu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room became lively, and everyone extended their thinking and enriched the content according to Chen Xu's words.
"From the current point of view, if we want to completely change the backward situation of mathematics in China, the compilation of textbooks is the top priority, and in the next period of time, our main work is to compile textbooks." Wei Zhongxiang nodded, this old man once again grasped the key point of the problem, whether it is a competition or any activity, it is better to work the teaching materials, only by letting the children get the best mathematics teaching materials can we ensure the cultivation of more talents.
"It's easy to talk about the textbooks, I have sent someone to buy the mathematics textbooks of the Soviet Union, Germany, and Japan, which are powerful countries in mathematics, and now I am working on translation, and I will soon be able to use them for reference." Chen Xu once again expressed his opinion.
"The textbooks for primary school are easy to do, and I want to ask if we have any arrangements for the mathematics departments of universities across the country after cultivating so many basic mathematics talents? If we invest in the mathematics departments of those major universities, we can certainly make a leap forward in advanced mathematics. But it will also make the mathematics department become fragrant, and those children of high-level cadres who have not undergone examination screening may be inserted, which is extremely unfair to those children who have studied hard for 12 years before being admitted! "There is a young mathematician raised his hand and published his own problem, this mathematician is a talent who has just been poached from the university, the problem he just said is a common phenomenon of chaos in the management of domestic universities, and the scandals of admissions through the back door are endless, destroying the most fundamental principle of fairness in the college entrance examination! It has caused great damage to the Chinese education system.
At this time, Liang Yishan slapped the table fiercely and said sharply: "Hmph! This problem must be strictly controlled, those children of high-ranking officials do not learn and have no skills, they can come and go as they want, eat, drink and have fun in the university, and make the campus a miasma, with this group of rat, our math plan will not be successful. ”
As soon as Lao Liang's words came out, they immediately resonated with everyone in the conference room, and everyone began to talk to each other, loudly reprimanding those things that happened around them that went through the back door.
"Teacher Wei, why did this old Liang suddenly become excited, he seems to have a lot of opinions about the children of the official family!" Chen Xu leaned sideways and whispered to Wei Zhongxiang, who was sitting beside him.
"This is Lao Liang's heart disease, guess he is a mathematician, why would he run to chop pork?" Old Man Wei shook his head with a smile, covered his mouth with his hands, and saw Chen Xu shaking his head to say that he didn't know, so he continued: "It's because when he was a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Northern University of Science and Technology, there were high-ranking officials in the imperial capital who arranged for his children to enter the Department of Mathematics. How do you know that Lao Liang is an unsympathetic person, thinking that it is unfair to the rest of the school to go through the back door, and naming the child in class and not allowing him to go to his class. The child was only 19 years old, and when he got this kind of stimulation, he rolled up and went home that day, and then the revenge of the high-ranking official came like a storm, and Lao Liang was ruined and turned into a butcher who cut pork, and no university has been willing to ask for him so far. ”
"Oh...... It turns out that Lao Liang still has such an experience, no wonder he has such an opinion on being an official! My future has been ruined, and I will hate those who are officials. According to you, that high-ranking official is still in power? Chen Xu narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
"Now he is still a ministerial-level senior official, if that senior official still holds a grudge against this matter, then this comeback will still be very troublesome." Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxiang frowned a little embarrassed, he was very worried that if Lao Liang suffered another blow, he was afraid that his life would be lost.
"Don't worry about this, don't say it's a ministerial-level senior official on my territory, even if Mr. Deng comes, it's useless. That high-ranking official holds a grudge like this, if he doesn't come, forget it, if he still makes a move on Lao Liang, I promise to let him know why the flowers are so red. Chen Xu smiled and shook his head, he didn't mind this matter at all. (To be continued.) )
