Chapter 343 Important
"Wu Tong, are you ready? It's almost time to start!" After chatting for a while and reminiscing about the past, Pan Wenhua looked at the time and confirmed with Wu Tong with a smile.
"Let's get started, Dean Pan. I'm available anytime!" Wu Tong's eyes were bent with smiles at the teacher's care. Although it was her first time to interview a student, but just as the teacher earnestly instructed, she actually had her own judgment on what kind of students to choose.
"The first one to come in is from our School of Mathematics, and he is also the first in both the domestic and Peking University entrance examinations, Su Dongyi." Zhou Wenping whispered to Wu Tong about the resume of the first interviewee. He was the first one, a student from Peking University, and he took the lead with his strong momentum. As the persons in charge of the School of Mathematics at Peking University, Pan Wenhua and Zhou Wenping were naturally happy.
"You should have an impression of Xiao Su!" Although three years have passed, Xiao Su is not an unknown person.
"Su Dongyi?" Wu Tong repeated the name that he had a vague impression of, and his memory was triggered, awakening his previous instantaneous memory. "The perfect gold medalist in both the 2007 and 2008 International Olympiads, is that him?"
"Yes, yes, Wu Tong, do you still remember Xiao Su?" Zhou Wenping nodded. This was a top student recruited by Beijing University a year before Wu Tong entered the school. He won two gold medals in the International Olympiad and was very famous at the time. They regarded him as the future successor of Beijing University. At that time, they thought that being an excellent student, as outstanding as Su Dongyi, was the upper limit.
Unexpectedly, they met Wu Tong the following year. From CMO to IMO, from Zhou's conjecture to the current Goldbach conjecture and NS equation, one miracle after another has been breaking their so-called upper limit of excellence from the very beginning. It told them what it means to have no upper limit and what it means to be a genius, making the international community marvel that Gauss-Euler is still alive.
It is undeniable that when Wu Tong rose to prominence, the entire Beijing University was proud of Wu Tong, but they also did not ignore other outstanding students. In fact, Wu Tong's rise was so fast and rapid that he did not use any resources of Beijing University at all. Instead, he brought countless influence and became a boost to Beijing University's School of Mathematics.
Therefore, they actually felt quite guilty towards Wu Tong. They enjoyed the honor brought by Wu Tong, but in fact, the help they provided to Wu Tong was very little.
"Of course there was. This was during our IMO training camp, and I heard the teacher use him as an example to motivate us more than once!" It is already difficult to join IMO, and it is extremely difficult to get an IMO gold medal. To be able to get an IMO full score gold medal, and to get two IMO full score gold medals, is enough to show how excellent Su Dongyi is.
"We had long admired it!"
Su Dongyi entered Beijing University one year earlier than she did, so she could be considered her senior. However, she did not follow the conventional rules. After entering the university, she had been doing research continuously and was approved to graduate. She did not have much interaction with other outstanding talents in the college before. Therefore, Wu Tong had seen this famous academic god, who was teased by them as Su Manfen, for the first time.
Wu Tong was quite surprised that the first student who came in for the interview was such a heavyweight candidate!
"Are the students who come to apply for my graduate program so prestigious?" Wu Tong was somewhat flattered by the students' expectations. She thought that as a novice who was teaching students for the first time, the students who came to apply would be excellent, but not of such high quality.
"Haha... Wu Tong, you underestimate your influence!" Pan Wenhua laughed. If you go out and ask any student in our college right now, if possible, you will definitely be the first choice of tutor! "Wu Tong's influence, especially among young students, can be said to be unparalleled, the kind that is worshipped as a god.
However, he did not find it funny that Wu Tong did not have a clear understanding of him, but rather felt distressed. Wu Tong had a pure heart and devoted herself to research. She took on one project after another before graduation, and after graduation she continued to work on one project after another, and even participated in major confidential projects several times. She had no time to pay attention to the outside world. She did not have a full understanding of her influence. It was not her fault that she was uninformed, but that there was no time for her to pay attention to miscellaneous news.
"Yes, Wu Tong, you have to believe in your influence, believe in the appeal of the series of titles such as the prover of the Goldbach conjecture, the prover of the NS equation, the winner of the Ramanujan Prize, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and the winner of the first prize of the National Natural Science Award!" Zhou Wenping nodded to Wu Tong with a smile. Believe in them, you are so outstanding!
The other professors sitting with him all looked at Wu Tong with smiles and encouragement. Although the glory of their School of Mathematics had not had much contact with them, they could clearly see from the little contact that he was a good student and scholar who respected teachers, was simple and humble, and would definitely be a good mentor in the future.
With Wu Tong's current influence and resources, even if she leaks a little, it will be enough for her students to use. If there are students who can be trained by Wu Tong, their resources and progress will surely soar like a rocket! If they didn't care about their face, they would all want to be Wu Tong's students, or if their families have suitable and promising children, they would also ask Wu Tong for guidance.
It's a pity that some of them either have children who are too old and have already started working for many years, or grandchildren who are too young, so they cannot get the upper hand over the others. They put their frustration on the students they teach, hoping that the outstanding students in the academy can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and become Wu Tong's disciples.
Su Dongyi is their main target and the academy's ace player.
The reception organizer outside announced that after a while, a young student, neatly dressed and with the tall stature typical of northerners, came in from outside the classroom. He strode in with the youthful vigor and anticipation typical of young people.
He stood in the middle of the classroom and bowed slightly to the teachers in front of him in greeting.
"Professor Wu, Dean Pan, Professor Zhou... Hello, professors. I am Su Dongyi, a student of the School of Mathematics of Peking University, Class of 2008. I am studying in the Department of Mathematics. I have won the Hua Luogeng Gold Medal, the Chern Gold Medal, the Zhou Weiliang Gold Medal, the Lin Jiaqiao Gold Medal, the Xu Baoqi Gold Medal in the Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Competition, the Qiu Chengtong Gold Medal for All-Roundness, and the First Prize in the Mathematics League... I have published...
Although my grades are outstanding among ordinary students compared to your achievements, they are nothing compared to yours. I love mathematics and hope to be able to improve and develop in partial differential equations and geometric analysis. Therefore, I hope to be fortunate enough to become Professor Wu’s student and receive your guidance, so that I can reach a higher level in mathematics! "
