In the early morning of the next day, Xu Chuan followed Rong Zhizhuan to the auditorium of Mizuki University, and met many famous mathematicians along the way.

For example, Professor Li Jun of Riyue University is a candidate for academician of the Academy of Scientific Research, and he is only waiting for one more selection time before he is elected.

The elder was invited to give a 45-minute presentation at the 22nd International Congress of Mathematicians.

Those who can give a 45-minute report at the International Congress of Mathematicians are all top experts in the field of mathematics, and even now, there are few people in the whole of China who have this qualification.

For example, Zhang Wei, Yun Zhiwei, and Xu Chenyang, who graduated from P University, are the three previous generation of mathematical geniuses, and these three mathematical geniuses are known as the golden generation in the history of Chinese mathematics.

Among them, Zhang Wei's achievements are particularly prominent, known as the 'great god', he is only in his thirties this year, he hopes to win the 18-year Fields Medal in mathematics, and this time at the 7th World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, he, like Xu Chuan, is also the gold medal winner of the Morningstar Mathematics Award.

Xu Chuan is quite happy to know these top mathematicians, and he can gain more knowledge and ideas in the follow-up evening parties and exchange meetings.

There is a big difference between domestic and foreign academic conferences, for example, China pays more attention to form, and pays attention to the mathematical achievements and identity of the speakers at the conference.

But there are some things that are the same, and that is that academic exchange is a place where everyone communicates and makes new friends.

Even in China, in addition to awards and lectures, there are also evening parties and exchange venues to facilitate mathematicians to meet other people, exchange their inspiration or learn new knowledge.

Ideas need to collide to produce a spark of wisdom, and knowledge is the same when it comes to communication.

.........

When you enter the auditorium of Mizuki University, you can see a lot of people, and you can even see the faces of many foreigners.

Being able to hold such a math exchange meeting will enhance the reputation of the school and even the reputation of the whole city.

Because there are three awards at the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, whether it is the Chern Award, the Morningstar Mathematics Award or the ICCM International Cooperation Award, they are not separately designated for Chinese mathematicians, but are open to Chinese people all over the world, and many people have come from abroad.

This is a good opportunity to show foreign Chinese mathematicians the strength of universities, economy, and even the economic strength of cities and countries, and it is also an opportunity to attract foreign Chinese mathematicians to return to China.

Therefore, basically the cities that can receive the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians will do their best to complete it, so as to showcase the city and attract talents.

........

Soon, the 7th World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians officially kicked off.

After the opening speech in the morning, the most important content of the mathematics conference was immediately followed.

The Morningside Mathematics Prize, the Chern Prize, and the International Cooperation Award of the Big Games are awarded to Chinese mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements in the field of research and those who have made important contributions to the development of mathematics in China.

According to the ranking, the Morningstar Mathematics Award was awarded first.

Among the three awards, the Chern Prize, the Morningstar Mathematics Award, and the ICCM International Cooperation Award, the Morningstar Mathematics Award has the highest weight.

Although the Chern Prize is the first mathematics prize named after a Chinese mathematician by the International Mathematical Union, and the weight class far exceeds that of the Morningstar Mathematics Prize, it actually has two.

One is the Chern Shiingshen Award presented by the World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

The other is the Chern Medal, awarded by the International Mathematical Union at the International Congress of Mathematicians, which is held every four years.

The former is awarded to Chinese mathematicians or Chinese mathematicians, while the latter is awarded every four years, regardless of nationality, and the rank is much higher than the former.

The Chern Medal is the fourth award for the International Mathematical Union, and it is currently the highest level of lifetime achievement in the international mathematical community.

It can be said that those who can win this medal are not unique in their respective fields, but also the status of the leading boss.

Unfortunately, no Chinese mathematician has ever won the Chern Medal.

........

After the speech at the opening ceremony, amid deafening applause, Mr. Qiu Chengtong, wearing black round-framed glasses, took the stage and took over the microphone from Professor Zhang Shouwu of Mizuki University, who presided over the opening ceremony.

"It's an honor to stand here and see so many mathematicians gathered together to exchange mathematical knowledge and expand the boundaries of the field of mathematics............"

"Below, I will announce the winners of this year's Morningstar Mathematics Prize, as well as present the Morningstar Mathematics Gold and Silver Awards."

On the stage, Yau Chengtong flipped over the entry card in his hand and said slowly. The first laureate was Professor Zhang Wei from the University of Colombia and Columbia. His main scientific research achievements are original contributions to number theory and self-defense forms, which solve the problem of modularity in the Kudara conjecture.......... He won the Gold Medal of Morningside Mathematics at the World Conference of Chinese Mathematicians. ”

In the warm applause, Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, walked to the stage, received the golden medal and certificate from Yau Chengtong, and then delivered a speech.

After the warm applause, Qiu Chengtong flipped through the entry and continued: "The second winner is Professor Li Si from Shuimu University. ”

"The main scientific research achievements are to introduce the gauge field renormalization method into complex geometry and Hodge theory on the Calabi mound manifold, put forward the theory of quantization on the Calabi mound space, and establish the mathematical basis of quantum topology b-type and high-specification mirror symmetry of the close Calabi mound manifold......... He won the Gold Medal of Morningside Mathematics at the World Conference of Chinese Mathematicians. ”

The auditorium erupted in warm applause again, and Li Si of Mizuki University took the stage to accept the award and deliver a speech.

After the applause ended, Qiu Chengtong pushed the round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

The winner of the "last" Morningside Math Prize Gold is....... Xu Chuan from Jinling Sanjiang Normal University. ”

"His main scientific research achievements are the weakened formal proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, the comprehensive proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, and the method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies."

Compared with the number of scientific research achievements of the first two winners, the number of Xu Chuan's main scientific research achievements is three, but each one is heavyweight.

.......

Hearing the name of the third winner, the auditorium was quiet, and the mathematicians who could come to this mathematics exchange meeting were no strangers to the name Xu Chuan, at least they had heard of it.

The proof of the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture, the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, and ........, not only the achievements of mathematics, but also the achievements of astronomy, have made everyone familiar with this name.

But most people were surprised to hear the name at the Morningstar Mathematics Prize ceremony.

Without him, the owner of this name is so young, so young that Qiu Chengtong used Xu Chuan, not Professor Xu Chuan, when announcing the name of the award.

If everyone here is not mistaken, Xu Chuan only entered the university in September last year, and he has not finished his freshman year this year, and he is not yet 19 years old.

He is too young compared to the first two winners.

Incredibly young, so young that it was surprising and even surprising that he could win the Morning Star Mathematics Prize this time.

Although it is absolutely enough for his achievements, a world-class mathematical conjecture puzzle that many mathematicians have not even been able to touch in their lifetimes.

But in China, he was able to win the Morning Star Mathematics Award at the age of eighteen, which can be said to have broken the previous rules.

Because whether it is foreign or domestic, academia is a place where qualifications are spoken.

It's just that compared with foreign countries, domestic 'qualifications' are a little more special and serious.

The mathematicians who didn't get the award in advance were surprised that he could win the Morningstar Prize in Mathematics at the age of eighteen.

This is known as the top mathematics prize of the Chinese Fields, and the previous winners are all in their thirties, and almost none are younger than 30 years old.

For example, Zhang Wei, who is thirty-five years old this year, and Li Si, who is thirty-eight years old this year.

In contrast, the age difference between this Xu Chuan is nearly double, and he is nearly twenty years younger, and it is unimaginable that he can win the Morningstar Mathematics Award at such a young age.

While almost no one would deny that the laureate would win the Morningstar Prize in Mathematics or even the Fields Medal in the future, the vast majority of those in attendance did not expect him to win the award at this year's mathematics conference.

What does this make other mathematicians who are already in their thirties, or even close to forty-five, still waiting?

For example, Professor Yin Wotao, who was accidentally squeezed out of the Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award by Xu Chuan this time, felt very uncomfortable.

For this year's Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award, he prepared a lot and visited a lot of mathematicians.

According to the original historical trend, he could win the gold medal this year, but Xu Chuan came out of nowhere and directly squeezed him to the silver award.

Although it is also the Morningstar Mathematics Award, there is a big gap between the Gold Award and the Silver Award, the former can be said to be the world's top mathematics professor, while the latter can only be said to be the top in China.

By the way, Professor Yin Wotao, a graduate of the Department of Mathematics of NTU, is Xu Chuan's senior brother, and his basic breakthrough work in sparse optimization, inappropriate inverse problem and compressive sensing has developed a number of optimization methods and algorithms, which are widely used in data science and engineering.

This kind of achievement is fully worthy of a Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award, but compared to Zhang Wei and Li Si, the achievement is still a lot worse.

The former was one of the popular candidates for the Fields Medal in '18.

The latter constructed the quantization theory of topological string field theory and solved the "Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry conjecture", which is extremely profound in the achievements of mathematical physics.

As for Xu Chuan, it can't be compared, the Weyl-Berry conjecture is a world-class mathematical problem, if it weren't for Xu Chuan's achievements in mathematics a little monotonous, too young, the 18-year Fields Medal must be his, not possible.

In this case, it is not unjust that he was eliminated.

After all, the academic world is still a place to talk about achievements, and no matter how awesome the unspoken rules are, they can't match the dazzling achievements of others.

.........

After a brief silence, applause thundered.

Although they were surprised that the Morningstar Mathematics Gold Award would be awarded to an eighteen-year-old boy in a broken fashion, the many mathematicians in the audience were not unconvinced by the person standing on the stage.

He can prove the world-class mathematical problem Weyl-Berry conjecture, and his achievements have surpassed more than 99.99% of mathematicians.

Not to mention young scholars under the age of forty, even the vast majority of elderly scholars who have been doing mathematical research for fifty or sixty years all their lives, do not have such achievements.

The applause rang out, and Xu Chuan got up and walked along the red carpet on the ground to the stage.

"Congratulations, Xu Chuan."

On the podium, Yau received the golden medal and the red certificate from Miss Manners and presented it to the youngest ever Morning Star Mathematics Gold Award winner.

Receiving the medal and certificate from the old man, Xu Chuan bowed slightly politely and thanked him.

Qiu Chengtong smiled, handed over the microphone in his hand, and said, "Let's talk a few words, the youngest winner in history, I don't think anyone will be able to break your award-winning age in the future." ”

Xu Chuan did not hesitate, took the microphone, and faced the hundreds of mathematicians in the auditorium.

"First of all, I would like to thank my alma mater, NTU, for cultivating me, and I would also like to thank the Chinese Mathematical Society and the Morningside Mathematics Award Jury for affirming me."

"People who do learning want to be recognized, especially by people they respect. The fact that the Morningside Math Prize jury awarded me this award is a great encouragement to me. ”

"I hope that every award will be used as a boost to move forward, encourage me to look forward, and hope that I can make more breakthroughs and achieve higher achievements on the road of mathematics and academics."

"Thank you."

His acceptance speech was very brief, without too many testimonials or indignant speeches, but silently transformed the Morningstar Mathematics Prize into his own motivation and stepping stones, and used it to pave the way to a broader world of mathematics.

Bang Bang Bang ·······

In the auditorium, applause flowed like a surging tide.

On the seat, Rong Zhi, dean of the School of Mathematics of Nanjing University, looked at the teenager on the stage with approving, this is probably the best student after the split of Nanjing University.

On the side, Zhang Weiping applauded gently, looking at Xu Chuan on the stage, he sighed softly in his heart, he finally missed such a student.

But then he was relieved, it didn't matter where he studied, as long as he didn't bury his talent.

If the youth is strong, the country will be strong; The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country; If the youth is prosperous, the country will be prosperous.......

It doesn't matter if he doesn't study under him, at his age, he has seen a lot of things, and he is already calm about most things.

As for those things that he didn't watch, he still kept an eye on, and he also hoped to see them in this young man.

It doesn't get any better than this.........

Next to Zhang Weiping, Hu Xingjian looked at the stage dumbfounded, and did not come back to his senses until the applause in the auditorium sounded like thunder, and he applauded fiercely.

The figure standing on the stage was several years younger than him, but he had already received the medal he had longed for all his life.

That figure stood there quietly, but it left an indelible mark in his heart, and it also brought him a goal to strive for.

When you are a teenager, no one thinks you are inferior to others.

Hu Xingjian believes that he will also be able to stand on that stage one day.

PS: Debriefing.

Good news: Yawei should be almost recovered, the antigen test for two consecutive days is negative, today the community management came to do a nucleic acid, if there is no problem, I can go out tomorrow.

There should be another chapter in the evening, but it may be later, after all, the code word state is not so fast to recover.
