Chapter 147 Escort
"Grandpa, grandma, take your time and have fun!" Wu Tong saw off his family members who were going out to play early. Cai Yi and the other two made some coordination, and Wang Jie and An Wenshu set off with Wu Tong's family to look after them while they continued to play.
Cai Yi came to pick up Wu Tong later, and he accompanied Wu Tong to the meeting.
"Tongtong, just go and do your work!" The child stayed with them for five or six days in a row and was doing very well.
"Wu Tong, get in the car!" At the gate of Yanyuan, in a seven-seater commercial vehicle, Pan Wenhua and Zhou Wenping waved with smiles. Li Yishen, who had just returned last night, was also there.
"Dean Pan, Professor Zhou, Teacher Li!" After greeting them one by one, Wu Tong got into the back seat of the car with Cheng Yi.
"Let's go!" Thinking about the news he had just received, which was basically confirmed, Pan Wenhua smiled meaningfully.
At the Shangjing Conference Center, a red carpet has been laid out and banners have been hung. The electronic screen is also scrolling with words of warm congratulations on the convening of the 10th National Congress of the Chinese Mathematical Society... The atmosphere has already become intense.
Many mathematicians who came to attend the conference had already arrived in Beijing yesterday and checked into the nearest hotel. They arrived early this morning in formal attire. Before the meeting started, most of the participants were talking in groups of three or five. From time to time, one could hear someone excitedly shouting, "Professor So-and-so, it's an honor to meet you."
In addition to basic academic exchanges, the more important purpose of academic exchange conferences is to take this opportunity to make more friends. If you can make friends with someone who is more powerful than you, you will be rich.
Pan Wenhua, Zhou Wenping, Wu Tong, and Li Yisheng arrived not too early, as all other participants from Peking University had already arrived. Whether it was Pan Wenhua, a leader in the Chinese mathematical community and the dean of Peking University's School of Mathematics, or Zhou Wenping, a candidate for the Academy of Sciences and a key figure in the Chinese mathematical community who was about to receive the highest honor, both of them were eye-catching.
As they arrived together, Wu Tong, who walked among them, attracted even more attention.
With the successive hot news, Wu Tong's face has been widely circulated in the Chinese mathematics community. It is well known that no one will question Wu Tong's overly young face anymore. On the international stage that most people present cannot reach, this young girl has successfully established herself and brought glory to the country. They have lived decades longer than her and achieved nothing. Isn't it shameful enough that they have lived for decades longer than her!
"That must be Wu Tong from Peking University. Peking University's feng shui is really good this year!" Many people looked over from afar, and their mathematics colleagues from other universities were so jealous that they were boiling with jealousy.
Of course, there are people who are jealous of Wu Tong. He is so young and has achieved so much. If they are granted any one of these, they will become internationally famous.
The president and vice president of the School of Mathematics at Peking University, two important figures, protect her and look upon her like the apple of their eye. What a glorious treatment it is.
A complex gaze with mixed feelings was cast over him, but Wu Tong already had experience and learned not to care. He followed the guidance of the two teachers, step by step, and moved forward steadily. Following their introductions, he got to know many outstanding representatives of the Chinese mathematics community, who were basically at the same level as them.
The two of them actually used their personal connections to pave the way for Wu Tong, and those sour words could not reach Wu Tong.
Cheng Yi disguised himself as an assistant and followed Zhou Wenping. If he turned around and followed Wu Tong alone, people would think that Professor Zhou was worried about Wu Tong being alone and specially arranged for an assistant to accompany him.
As the opening ceremony approached, all participants entered the venue and took their seats. The Chinese Mathematical Society Members' Congress was modeled after the International Congress of Mathematicians, so the highlight of the opening ceremony was also the outlook on new progress in Chinese mathematics and the award ceremony.
At nine o'clock, the conference officially opened. Academician Shen, president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, stepped onto the stage and delivered an opening speech under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Then, international special guest, Chinese mathematician Qiu Chengtong... took the stage to deliver speeches one after another, warming up the conference, summarizing the present and looking forward to the future.
The atmosphere of the opening ceremony gradually became heated, and then it entered the highlight, which was the awarding of the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award and the Chern Shiing-Shen Mathematics Award.
The Hua Prize is aimed at senior scholars over the age of 50 who have made contributions to the Chinese mathematical community, while the Chen Prize is aimed at young and middle-aged scholars under the age of 50.
Only two people will be selected for each award each year.
In addition to the certificates and medals, there is also a prize of 100,000 yuan. For many bigwigs, 100,000 yuan is not a lot, but the significance is different. Especially the Chinese Chern Mathematics Award, which is also known as the domestic Philippine Award.
"This year's Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award is..." With the congratulations of Academician Shen, the two winners of this year's Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award were announced. Wu Tong was not unfamiliar with them. One was Professor Wen from Beijing University, and Wu Tong had even taken her class. The other was Professor Lu Dapeng. They had been to the Hydra International Mathematicians Conference together and also gave one-hour presentations.
It can be said that both winners have made significant contributions to the Chinese mathematics community and are well-deserved and worthy of the titles.
Soon, it was an even more exciting moment. Amid the warm applause and gazes of the participants, Shing-Tung Yau walked up to the stage, shook hands with Academician Shen, and took the microphone he handed to him.
The Chinese Philanthropy Award - Chern Shiing-Shen Mathematics Prize will be presented by this true Fields Medal winner.
When the applause died down, Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "From the Anti-Japanese War to the founding of the People's Republic of China, from the turbulent times to the prosperity and stability of today, Chinese mathematicians have gone through many ups and downs to get to where they are today, and this is inseparable from the unremitting efforts of all of you present here."
He flipped open the order card in his hand and was surprised by the name on the list even though he knew it in advance.
"It is my honor to announce the winner of this year's Chern Mathematics Award. I will announce that the first winner is Wu Tong. I believe everyone is familiar with her major achievements, from the Zhou conjecture that amazed the world to the twin prime conjecture, Polignac conjecture, and infinite group proof method. She transformed the three major conjectures into Zhou's theorem, twin prime theorem, and Polignac theorem.
In the history of world mathematics, the name of the Chinese has been firmly imprinted. The world is proud of her, and the motherland is proud of him! I am very happy that mathematics has become terrifyingly young, and I am also happy that mathematics has made great strides under the impetus of China! "
He is very happy that the domestic atmosphere is changing and that people are no longer solely concerned with seniority and ignoring real academic capital!
Before Mr. Qiu finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. Everyone was familiar with the name Wu Tong. In recent months, he has become a sensation both at home and abroad.
But what is this, the Chern Prize in Mathematics? There are so many people two or three years older than her who are still lining up to wait for the award, how could it be awarded to such a young kid?
What qualifications does she have? She has just started college and has not even graduated yet, let alone academic qualifications! Isn't this ridiculous?
