Chapter 71 Talent
"It's my honor, an unexpected gain!" This must be Kyoto University, a blessing in disguise!
"It's not appropriate to have no response at all. We have proven our abilities, and we should let the world know about your achievements. So the school means that we can let the general media do whatever they want, but we still have to give some respect to the official media interviews!" Li Yishen told Wu Tong about the school's intentions on the way and asked for Wu Tong's opinion.
"Okay, teacher, let's follow the school's arrangements!" It was just an interview and it probably wouldn't take too long, so Wu Tong had no objection.
As the teacher and students were talking, Li Yishen's car successfully entered the gate of Peking University. With the security forces of Peking University, ordinary media still could not enter the college.
He first sent Wu Tong to the dormitory to rest. Even if he wanted to accept an interview, he would put it off until tomorrow. They still had to maintain the style of Peking University.
At 9 a.m. on May 6, the IMO national team gathered and entered the first round of training in the sprint stage.
The leader of the IMO national team is Professor Li, and Wu Tong is still free. However, this time Wu Tong plans to participate as much as possible and stay in the training class as much as possible. She can continue her own research without delay.
After all, this was training for international competitions, so she still needed to learn more about some of the rules. No matter how well she did the questions, if she got the rules wrong, it would be in vain. This was the most basic mistake.
"Welcome to my God!"
As soon as Wu Tong stepped into the IMO national team training room, several team members, led by Guo Jiachen, laughed and applauded. Using Wu Tong's last name is not as appropriate as the word "Wu" which represents me!
They really mean, My God!
From yesterday to today, they heard the explosive news that Wu Tong proved Zhou's conjecture and published it in the Annals of Mathematics, a core journal in SCI Zone 1. Obviously, they were stunned! They knew that Wu Tong was good, but they didn't expect him to be so good!
Witnessing Wu Tong’s proof of the world’s most difficult problem and appearing on the top magazines, they all felt like they were dreaming. This once again proved that they were just ordinary people! The real gods had already achieved a realm that they might not be able to reach in their lifetime!
Before Wu Tong’s small academic report on campus, the IMO training team was still in closed training and did not receive any news in advance.
"Thank you, everyone, you are too kind. Let's discuss this together and fight for China in the future!" Wu Tong held his forehead and laughed, "I just took a step ahead of you. You also have a promising future!"
These are the top mathematical talents selected from the best high school students across the country through layers of screening. They are all extremely talented children who truly love mathematics. If nothing unexpected happens, they will all shine in the mathematics world in the future.
Moreover, these people are multi-talented. In addition to studying, they also have various talents. In comparison, she seems to only be able to study and has nothing to be proud of!
"Thank God for the auspicious words. Our hearts swelled instantly!"
···Several students laughed and made noises, and the team leader and teachers who arrived earlier did not stop them. We will spend a lot of time together in the future, not only during the IMO training and competition, but even in college, most of them will still be classmates, so a pleasant atmosphere is a good thing.
They are all the little darlings of school and family. They have different personalities, but they all tend to be sunny and positive.
As teachers, they are quite knowledgeable.
It's not like we haven't seen top students who are so stubborn and competitive that they fight like chickens. But this year, there's a top student with dazzling results. The teachers here feel ashamed of themselves. The other team members are naturally honest and humble. As teachers, they have less worries.
"Okay, everyone, get ready first. There will be plenty of time for discussion later. Let's take a look at the training schedule first!" After the students laughed and joked for a while and got familiar with each other, Li Yisheng clapped his hands gently, began to maintain discipline, and got down to business.
···
At 10:30 in the morning, when the IMO training team entered the self-study session, Li Yishen gently knocked on the corner of Wu Tong's desk, signaling her to come out first.
"Reporters are coming!" Li Yishen whispered to Wu Tong and reminded him of some precautions. In fact, there was nothing to arrange, as the official media still knew their limits.
In front of the office building of the School of Mathematics of Peking University, there were Dean Pan, Professor Zhou and other familiar leaders of the School of Mathematics, as well as the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society and other representatives of the Mathematical Society, and some less familiar faces. Among them, the two in the lead had extraordinary temperaments, different from ordinary professors.
"Wu Tong, this is Mayor Liu, who is in charge of education in Shangjing City, and Comrade Tao, an official from this district!" Pan Wenhua immediately introduced the two parties. "Mayor Liu, Comrade Tao, this is the prover of Zhou's conjecture, a world problem, classmate Wu Tong! Classmate Wu, just now he was attending the opening of the IMO national team's training camp!"
"Young talent, excellent student, you have shocked the world of mathematics. On behalf of our Beijing City, I would like to express my gratitude for your contribution! The country is honored to have outstanding children like you!"
Deputy Mayor Liu and Secretary Tao smiled and walked up to Wu Tong to shake hands. The accompanying reporters and their cameras clicked to record this handshake moment.
"Hello, Mayor Liu, hello, Secretary Tao!" Wu Tong greeted politely while shaking hands, and simply responded, "I just happened to be there, solved a problem, and did what I should do. I am very happy that I can contribute a little to the glory of the country, and I don't deserve your thanks!"
She was actually still a little confused. Wasn't this just a simple interview with a reporter? Why were the city leaders involved? Although Zhou's conjecture had not been solved for nearly 20 years, it did not mean that no one could solve it. It was just that many top international experts had different research directions and did not make a move.
"Haha, Wu Tong is very modest. He is a good kid with traditional Chinese virtues!" Deputy Mayor Liu continued to praise.
Wu Tong solved this problem in Shangjing University, and he is also in Shangjing now. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to appear.
The leadership team of the Central Plains Province where she came from could only watch helplessly, but due to the rules, they could not leave their posts and come to Beijing at will. It was even more exciting that outstanding talents were in their capital!
"We must thoroughly implement the basic principles of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, adhere to education-based talent cultivation, which has always been the top priority of our country's education work. No matter how hard it is, we must not make education suffer. For this reason, after receiving information from the Education Bureau yesterday, our Shangjing City leadership team collectively discussed a plan and decided to grant you a certain amount of material rewards. I wish our classmate Wu Tong will continue to win glory for the country!"
The Municipal Education Bureau has already made an assessment yesterday. Considering this child's level, he will undoubtedly win the IMO gold medal this year. He can also expect to get first place with full marks. It is expected that he will win another honor in two months.
Although this award is not on the same level as proving a world-class conjecture, it is a national honor and you can never have too much of it!
This year's IMO will allow those Westerners who look down on China to open their eyes and see how the outstanding children of their country are able to surpass their peers!
