The Chinese-style lunch carefully prepared by Professor Yau Chengtong not only made Junxin very enjoyable, but also praised Horowitz, who had rarely or never eaten such a lunch with Chinese characteristics.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such authentic hometown food!" After eating, Junxin put down his chopsticks and said.

"Didn't you just eat in a restaurant? It's much more authentic than my craft! Professor Yau Chengtong said with a smile.

"That's different!" Junxin shook his head and said, "After all, the food in the hotel is eaten outside, although the taste is very good, but the taste is good, but it does not have the unique taste at home." ”

"This is what the old people in the family often say, the meaning of a thousand days at home, right?"

"You can say whatever you want, that's what it means anyway!" Junxin nodded.

"Well, how can there be so many emotions!" "If you like it, you can come back when you have time, and New Jersey is not very far from Boston, Massachusetts. ”

"Although I can't ask for it, I'm going to return to China in June next year, and I'm afraid you won't be here a few times." Junxin shook his head regretfully.

"You've decided?" Professor Qiu asked with a slight gaze.

"If nothing else, it is!" Junxin nodded and said, "Mizuki University in China has called me many times to ask me what I mean, and they want me to go back." ”

"If you do go back, you might really miss out on next year's Fields Medal."

Jun Xin shrugged his shoulders and said: "In fact, when Chinese mainland did not restore its legal seat in the International Congress of Mathematicians, I knew this result, so I didn't have too many ideas." Maybe it's a little regrettable, but that's it. ”

"You're very open-minded!" Professor Qiu said with a smile.

Junxin shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily that I'm very open-minded, anyway, the mainland hasn't been able to restore the seat of the International Congress of Mathematicians, so it's a big deal to let the Fields Medal owe me a medal!" ”

"Won't you go as an individual?" Professor Qiu asked tentatively. Because of the successful proof of Calaby's conjecture, he has won this year's Fields Medal with certainty, so he doesn't care about whether he wins the award or not, but is very interested in Junxin.

"There is no need and no point." Junxin said simply and simply, without explaining the reason.

"It would be a great regret for me not to be able to attend this meeting with you."

"Sooner or later, there's no need to dwell on it!" Junxin didn't want to dwell on this issue, so the more he talked, the simpler it became.

Professor Yau Chengtong also heard the meaning of Junxin's words and decisively ended the topic.

"Come into my study, I've already had a rough look at the book you wrote, and it's time for us to discuss some of the ideas and computers you mentioned in the article on the development of mathematics." After a pause, Professor Qiu said to Horowitz and Shi Wanxiong, who were listening to the conversation between the two without saying a word, "It just so happens that you should come over together." As for Horowitz, the question of the existence of extra dimensions in superstring theory can be discussed just as we can discuss it when Junxin is still alive today. ”

"More than willingly!" Horowitz said hurriedly. The other three had no possibility of refusing, and they all quickly nodded and agreed.

"Jun, I also read that set of books in Princeton, you are really a genius!" Horowitz whispered to Junxin, who was walking next to him.

"Oh? Has Professor Mirno already delivered to the publishing house for publication? Jun Xin frowned and asked.

"Yes, in the course of half a month or so, Professors Mirno and Feverman organized a detailed review of the book by the Princeton Department of Mathematics and the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study, and after finding no obvious omissions, it was handed over to the university press for publication. You don't know that Princeton is not a for-profit school, and neither are the publishing houses, which are entirely for academic research, so at the urging of Professors Mirno and Feverman, as well as by colleagues in Princeton's Department of Mathematics and the Institute for Advanced Study, the efficiency is arguably the highest in decades. It's not just your mathematics department that has got the finished book, but other subjects closely related to mathematics, especially physics, are basically in the hands of professors. ”

"Any thoughts?" Junxin asked, "What about this book?" ”

"The biggest feeling is that you have your own answers to many unanswered questions. This book is not so much a book as a collection of essays. ”

"Is there anything that needs to be improved?"

"I haven't seen it for the time being, I've just read it cursoryly, trying to find out the problem, at present, this time is far from enough!"

"Oh, if you find any problems, just tell me, after all, it's the first time I've written it, and there are still a lot of mistakes and omissions in it." Jun Xin shook his head and diverted the topic in three or two sentences, and asked, "Did Professor Mirno say when it will be officially released?" ”

Professor Mirno said that starting next year, some sample books have been sent to various universities and research institutes, but only some relevant content of the first and second volumes, and Professor Milno means that it will not be put on sale to the public for the time being, but will be made available to universities and research institutes first, and wait for the feedback of the first readers before making a decision.

"It's good!" Junxin nodded.

"Our Princeton Department of Mathematics and the Institute for Advanced Study are close to the water, and all the professors of mathematics and related majors have one copy each, but Professor Mirno has changed the name of the book to "Princeton-Mizuki Guide to Mathematics", you don't mind, right?" Horowitz asked.

Junxin frowned, and then said: "Forget it, after all, it was released at Princeton University, and it doesn't matter if the name is changed to this way, but I need to explain later, the reason why this book can be made into a book, in Chinese mainland, there are many mathematicians and seniors who have helped me a lot, this is not a question of name order, but a question of whether the results of labor and scientific research can be respected." ”

"Don't worry, in the afterword, Professor Mirno personally wrote the reason, you don't have to worry too much about this part." Horowitz said with a smile, obviously everything was arranged by Professor Mirno, who was far away in New Jersey.

"Forget it, since it's all done, I won't say anything, anyway, I'm going back tonight, and I'll be able to go to school tomorrow, so I'm not in a hurry for a while." Junxin shook his head and said in a low voice.
