Chapter 149 Convinced
Amid mixed emotions among scholars, some with pride, some with admiration, some with envy, and some with discomfort, this congress came to a close, and the two most prestigious awards, the Hua Prize and the Chen Prize, were decided.
It is definitely not true to say that there was no one present who was dissatisfied.
Isn't it true that everyone likes good things like money? What's more, an award that is sought after by countless scholars has been decided. But what can you do if you are not convinced, unless they can also come up with such blockbuster results, right?
Reporters who were allowed into the venue took pictures of the classic scenes on the spot. The sound of shutter clicks was endless, especially when Wu Tong received the award, the whole venue was full of flashes.
As soon as the opening ceremony was announced to be over, people began to rush to chase after today's winners, the winners of the two grand prizes.
Wu Tong felt that she was not a star, did not need exposure, and was not used to noisy interviews. In addition, Cai Yi was also worried that the crowd would gather and the situation would be dangerous.
So, before the meeting ended, Wu Tong said goodbye to the commander, left first, and waited in the car.
As soon as the meeting was over, she was escorted by Cai Yi, and the two of them nimbly left the scene before the crowd gathered. Looking at Wu Tong's agile figure, all the teachers smiled and sighed, "It's great to be young!"
However, although Wu Tong left the stage quickly, she was still the most newsworthy. She was still not spared from the scramble for coverage by major media outlets, and soon, various exclamatory headlines appeared on major news websites.
[The youngest winner of the Chen Award in China is actually her? 】
[A groundbreaking record, a 17-year-old genius girl won the Chern Prize, the highest honor in national mathematics!]
`···
Instantly, such grand news was flooded all over the Internet by enthusiastic netizens who paid attention to it from all angles. A series of exclamations occupied the comment sections of major media outlets. The most common emotion was the exclamation marks that kept flooding the screen. This was an expression of shock that was beyond words, and the only way to express respect was to flood the screen with them.
After waiting for a long time in the car, Pan Wenhua and his party finally came back and got on the car. As soon as they got on the car, Pan Wenhua laughed and teased Wu Tong: "You young people are light-footed and can run fast, but you left us old guys at the venue to be surrounded by the media!"
When the media saw this, if they couldn't catch Wu Tong, they would catch her teacher. In any case, they had to complete the interview draft as soon as possible.
"You are still as skilled as ever!" Wu Tong smiled innocently. Could it be that she had trapped the two deans?
Professor Zhou gently pointed at Pan Wenhua from a distance and said, "You have been saying this to me for twenty years since I first entered the school. It is still the best time of the year! If you suppress the corners of your happy mouth, someone might believe that you are talking about sadness. I think the neighbors are almost jealous of this kind of siege, and they wish they could take your place!"
When the media rushed to interview him, their dean must have been so happy!
"Comrade Zhou, it's not fair to tear down the stage!" However, he was really happy. There were four people who won the Hua Prize and Chen Prize, and their School of Mathematics of Peking University took up two seats. They could be said to be the biggest winners. Shouldn't they be happy?
As the dean of the School of Mathematics at Peking University, he must be happy and proud to have received such an honor during his term!
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, Lang Lang's loud laughter echoed in the car.
There was actually a banquet after the opening ceremony, but the people in the car weren't very interested, nor did they think of taking advantage of the opportunity to socialize too much and enjoy the so-called noisy atmosphere of clinking glasses. After reaching a consensus, they went back first.
In the evening, the family returned home in high spirits. When they saw the medal and certificate that Wu Tong brought back as well as the hot news about Wu Tong's award on the Internet, they could not help but be overjoyed and smiled happily, feeling extremely proud.
"It's a pity that this is in Beijing. If it were in my hometown, I would set off tens of thousands of fireworks and firecrackers in front of the door to congratulate Tongtong!" Jin Yuan said with a little regret.
Jin Yongqing looked at the medal in his hand carefully, wishing he could use a magnifying glass to examine it micron by micron, "Tongtong, you should have notified us to come back earlier!"
Playing outside is not as important as coming back to share the joy with Tongtong!
The medal is there and it won’t go away. It’s a rare occasion for my family to go on a trip and we’ve already come a long way, so we might as well have a good time!
Wu Tong just smiled without saying anything. She had already felt excited at the venue, and now she was happy even more because she was able to bring pride and joy to her family!
She wanted to be the glory of her family, and this was being fulfilled one by one!
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 7th, Wu Tong simply tidied up her appearance and mood backstage. After hearing the host's invitation, she walked steadily to the podium. The staff helped her open the PPT of the report.
At this time, looking down at the stage, the audience was already full, the number of people was beyond her expectations, and the appeal of her report seemed to be far beyond her imagination. She originally thought that this report was not a new development, but just a repetition of the content that had been published before, and there was not much new appeal.
Wu Tong obviously overlooked the appeal of the youngest Chen Award winner. The celebrity effect is the best driving force. Who among the participants would not want to personally hear a report from a future youngest Philippine Award winner?
Wu Tong's paper is very profound and it is difficult to understand it without a certain level of expertise. Now that I have personally reported and explained it, although I am embarrassed to admit it, this is really a rare learning opportunity.
Wu Tong started by simply thanking the participants for coming to listen to her report, and then went straight to the point: "When studying the twin prime conjecture, I always felt that I needed a tool to solve the problem at hand!
I repeatedly studied the proofs of my predecessors on the properties of prime numbers, and constantly drew inspiration from them. Standing on the shoulders of giants, I was inspired... When I was solving the Polignac conjecture, I made this tool.
Regarding the method I proposed, I call it the infinite group proof method! It is mainly aimed at the research process of the infinity of prime numbers, making complex problems clear and simple..."
This was Wu Tong's first official lecture in front of national mathematicians. Wu Tong spoke at a moderate speed, describing her considerations and the core ideas and applications of the infinite group proof method in detail...
Wu Tong had a calm expression, extraordinary demeanor, and a magnanimous bearing. The content of his report was detailed and solid, and it really taught people who could understand it. Most of those who were dissatisfied yesterday were convinced today, except for those who were really biased!
As expected of them being hailed as top geniuses that appear rarely in a century, they are indeed not as good as this underage girl who can still be called a child!
The pearl of Peking University, the level of the world's top scholars, opened their eyes! Before, they were just frogs in a well!
