While the mathematics community was searching for this mathematical genius named "Yang," the International Mathematical Union once again received a thick stack of submissions, all signed by Yang.
After reading the manuscript, the alliance leader was thrilled and immediately gathered a group of top mathematicians within the alliance to study it.
"I have a feeling that if Yang's conjecture is proven true, he will shock the world once again."
One of the alliance's top mathematicians seemed to have an idea and guessed:
"The Fields Medal is just four months away. If Yang's conjecture is proven, he will definitely be shortlisted."
The Fields Medal is the highest award in the field of mathematics and is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Mathematics".
Held every four years, the award criteria are extremely stringent, deterring many mathematical geniuses.
It can be said that it is the lifelong pursuit of every person in the world who loves mathematics.
The league leader nodded, then added, "That's not necessarily true. The Fields Medal requires the winner to be under forty years old, and we don't know how old Yang is."
The mathematician said, "I think Yang must be over forty years old, otherwise it would be too unbelievable, unless he is an absolute freak."
The person in charge smiled without saying a word.
True geniuses often show their talent at a young age, just like the most skilled hackers are often the youngest.
Young people are best at creating miracles.
Two months later, another piece of news that shocked the global mathematics community emerged.
After two months of repeated reasoning and verification by a group of top mathematicians from the International Mathematical Union, it was proven that Yang's conjecture was entirely reasonable.
The entire field of mathematics will take a very big step forward because of this conjecture.
The International Alliance also revealed that Yang has been shortlisted for the Fields Medal.
This news caused a major upheaval in Country Z.
This Yang is not only from China, but he's also not even forty years old!
Since the Fields Medal was established, only two winners have been from China, and both were foreign nationals.
This is the first time that a native Chinese has been shortlisted.
Every citizen of Country Z felt proud, and the official national media excitedly published several celebratory messages.
However, the official media didn't elaborate on the details regarding that Yang God, only mysteriously revealing a little bit—
His true identity is far more astounding than his mathematical talent.
The Chinese people are so curious, they are eager to know the true face of the Yang God.
Xia Congwen was both curious and envious, wondering if he would ever have the honor of getting to know this math genius.
Some netizens went to the official account of the International Mathematical Union to ask questions, not expecting to be answered, but the person in charge of the union personally replied.
"We were fortunate enough to see Yang's true colors. During the two-hour meeting, none of us present could keep our mouths shut for a single second."
"Dear friends from Country Z, believe me, he is a true genius, a treasure of Country Z, and a treasure of our mathematics community."
Just as everyone's curiosity reached its peak, the Fields Medal winners were finally announced.
One of the two laureates is a world-renowned mathematician from the United States.
The other was an unknown person from country Z. He had no titles or introductions, only a name—ZhiYangxia.
The Fields Medal has also learned to keep people in suspense, only releasing a photo of the first winner while blurring the face of the second.
ZhiYangxia?
Xia Zhiyang? Xia Zhiyang? Or Xia Zhiyang?
Wait, why does this name sound so familiar?
By this time, the online buzz about the real and fake heiresses had gradually faded, and Xia Zhiyang was not the main character in the story.
Therefore, many people find the name somewhat familiar, but just can't remember where they've heard it before.
A small number of people remembered, but no one would associate Xia Zhiyang with Yang Shen.
One is a mathematical genius who has shocked the world, and the other is a fool certified by his own parents, who can't even get close to being caught on a moon landing scam.
It's absolutely a coincidence.
Xia Congwen and Lin Zhi thought the same thing.
Upon learning the list of winners, Lin Zhi said with a sense of loss, "This mathematical genius has the same pronunciation as our Yangyang's name."
Xia Congwen nodded, then said self-deprecatingly, "What a pity, same name, different fate. He's a genius, but ours is..."
He swallowed the word "idiot".
Before his son was born, Xia Congwen had also been full of fantasies and expectations for him.
One of his hopes is that his son will inherit his mathematical talent and become a mathematical prodigy, so he will definitely nurture him well from a young age.
As a result, Xia Zhiyang was two years old and still couldn't speak. Later, he was diagnosed with autism.
Xia Congwen was extremely disappointed and felt that his mentally challenged son was a disgrace to him, so he never paid any attention to him again.
Later, Xia Mingyue came along. Unfortunately, although she was quite outstanding, she had absolutely no talent for mathematics.
Xia Pianran was the same; she was a ballet prodigy, but also mediocre in mathematics.
Xia Congwen dreamed of having a child who would inherit his mathematical talent.
This year's Fields Medal is particularly noteworthy because of the inclusion of mysterious geniuses in the nominations.
Amidst the eager anticipation of the mathematics community in China and around the world, the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians, organized by the International Mathematical Union, has finally convened.
Those invited are all world-renowned mathematicians, and being able to participate in this conference is a symbol of one's own strength.
Because a citizen of country Z won the award, such a nationally celebrated event was broadcast live simultaneously by all television stations in the country.
Xia Congwen was not honored to be present, but he had been waiting in front of the television for a long time, with Lin Zhi by his side.
For some reason, Linzhi has been feeling uneasy these past few days, as if something is about to happen.
Xia Congwen stared intently at the television, his face filled with longing and envy.
The conference soon moved on to the awards ceremony, and the first award-winning mathematician excitedly delivered a lengthy acceptance speech.
Everyone can understand that this is the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics. Who can remain calm about it?
After delivering his acceptance speech, the award-winning mathematician received the Fields Medal from the head of the consortium and raised it high for the audience.
After seeing off the first winner, the head of the alliance, this mathematical giant, who was over fifty years old, gave a mysterious smile.
"I know everyone is very curious about Yang, but I would like to make a small request first."
Everyone, whether in the audience or watching on television, clenched their fists in excitement.
Finally, we're about to see the true face of that genius.
Suddenly, the entrance music changed, and a melody familiar to people all over the world filled the venue, with some people unconsciously humming along.
Happy birthday to you...
Everyone was curious: was there something wrong with the sound system? Why was they playing a birthday song at this time?
The person in charge said with a smile, "Today happens to be Yang's birthday, and I would like to invite everyone to send him our blessings."
Everyone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
So they all smiled kindly and started humming along to the melody.
Lin Zhi's heart pounded, and she murmured, "Today seems to be Yangyang's birthday as well."
For some reason, Xia Congwen also began to panic. The two of them held their breath and dared not even breathe loudly.
On the television, the person in charge announced loudly, "Next, let's welcome the youngest Fields Medal winner in history, Xia Zhiyang, with a song."
Amidst the singing of the entire audience, a slender and handsome young man slowly walked out, his excessively youthful face leaving everyone speechless.
"Hello everyone, I am Xia Zhiyang."
The person in charge was pleased to see that everyone in the audience had their mouths agape and their pupils dilated as if they were undergoing a major earthquake.
The venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the math gurus were so shocked they were questioning their very existence.
This...this is Yang?
Are you sure it's not someone's child who's wandered into the wrong place?
Is he... is he an adult?
Domestically, after a three-second delay, Xia Zhiyang's face slowly appeared on the big screen.
The moment that face they had seen for eighteen years appeared, Xia Congwen and Lin Zhi's hearts almost stopped beating.
