On the day the news was announced, both Kyoto University's official blog and website posted a celebratory announcement, joyfully announcing that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics had been awarded to Professor Wu Tong, one of Kyoto University's most prominent figures! Undeterred by the holiday break, Kyoto University's speed was evident in the immediate updates.
No matter when, they at Peking University are on the same front with Wu Tong. This is a good child they have cultivated themselves. Even though Wu Tong's achievements were actually on the platform of Peking University, Peking University did not help her too much. It was more because the child was too talented and achieved one result after another, bringing glory to the school.
Even now, Wu Tong's academic achievements are already world-class, and no one can underestimate Wu Tong's abilities!
In the future, they will receive many more awards. No matter how many people envy him, Wu Tong is their Jingda. Wu Tong's honor is also their Jingda's glory! Jingda's proudest thing is that they recruited Wu Tong into the school before he officially rose to prominence, and gave him the opportunity to study on campus in advance.
This laid the foundation for Wu Tong's rise to prominence. Beijing University is truly honored to have provided some assistance during this process. Now, what Wu Tong has given the school is countless times more than their initial, insignificant help!
Professor Wu had won such a prestigious international award, so the university's top brass naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye. However, it was during the Lunar New Year holiday, so only the School of Mathematics could offer congratulations.
As soon as the new year began, upon learning that Wu Tong had been admitted to the school, Dean Pan immediately asked him about Wu Tong's plans. The school's senior leadership meeting in a couple of days would further discuss Wu Tong's rewards.
"Dean Pan, hasn't the school already started a celebration?" When she entered the school, the campus banners and electronic scrolling screens were still full of tears of celebration. "That's enough. There's no need for a celebration ceremony. You know I don't like noise, so there's no need for a big deal."
Wu Tong was pragmatic and not particularly keen on celebrations. The bonuses from last year's two major breakthroughs had already been converted into her annual salary by the university and deposited before the New Year, so there was no need for formalities. With this time, Wu Tong preferred to quietly pursue her research interests in her office.
"Well, I understand!" Pan Wenhua nodded. The school consultation was just a thoughtful gesture. It did not force Wu Tong to initiate the ceremony. If Wu Tong did not like it, then it would not be held.
"If I want to receive the award, I'd like to trouble Teacher Li or someone in our college who is free to go and receive it on my behalf. My project is not finished yet, so I can't go abroad at the moment!" Wu Tong was grateful that the organizing committee was able to present the award to her, but she would not attend the award ceremony in person as long as the award was abroad. This was basically a consensus.
"Okay, it's fine if we don't go. It's a mess out there, it's more comfortable back home!" No one would refuse the opportunity to brush up their credentials by having someone go abroad on Wu Tong's behalf. Xiao Li was truly blessed, practically becoming Wu Tong's spokesperson. "Let Xiao Li go, and this time let Xiao Xu accompany him!"
Don't bother with two people. They're all part of the Wu Tong Research Institute. This time, let's send these two people over. They can form a team of ambassadors for Wu Tong's awards, specifically traveling abroad to accept his prize. Everyone here and abroad understands that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics is just the beginning of Wu Tong's journey, not the end.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble Teacher Li to make this trip again, as well as Senior Brother Xu!" Wu Tong planned to come later and personally ask the two of them for help and express her gratitude.
"They're so happy. Also, Wu Tong, do you want to teach students?" This is the question that everyone is most concerned about. If Wu Tong is interested, they can help her keep an eye out for promising candidates. After last year's postgraduate entrance examination, there were quite a few high-quality graduate students applying to Peking University, arguably the highest number in recent years. They helped Wu Tong identify several promising candidates.
However, Wu Tong was at a critical moment at that time, and later Wu Tong was involved in a confidential research project. Compared with those important tasks, whether to accept students was a very small matter, and there was no need to disturb Wu Tong.
They hadn't announced it yet, but they were already keeping an eye out for Wu Tong. They had already agreed that if Wu Tong didn't have time, the talented individuals wouldn't be left without a care. Academician Tian would likely take one or two, Wen Ping would take two, and he would also take one or two, so there wouldn't be any left without a care.
Their academic level does not bury these children.
"If there are suitable candidates, I can bring two with me first!" Wu Tong pondered for a moment. "If I have time, I'll interview them in person! I remember the results of the postgraduate entrance examination will be out within this month, right?"
"Yes, the results will be announced soon. We've already seen them. I'll send you some information later. Take a look at it when you have time and choose the right one. We'll meet in person!" Students choosing their advisors, advisors choosing their students, is a two-way process. However, in this two-way process, Wu Tong is the only one who gets to choose the students, not the students.
Whenever Wu Tong announced the recruitment of students, the school's email inbox would instantly flood with eager students from home and abroad. The appeal of top scholars is truly formidable! This year's batch of students represents the very best of the class. Even without Wu Tong's confirmation of the recruitment, everyone still took a gamble.
None of those who are able to be admitted are bad, and it is obvious who they are aiming for!
"Okay, Dean Pan, you arrange it!" Wu Tong nodded in confirmation. As she was about to enroll students for the first time, she was filled with anticipation. The school didn't force her to teach students or not, but Wu Tong felt that with a generous annual salary, she naturally had to contribute to the school. She really couldn't spare the time for ordinary teaching duties at the moment.
Therefore, at first, Wu Tong did not plan to take too many students, and could only make preliminary teaching attempts.
After she makes her selection, the candidate will still need to be screened by the security department, so it will take some time to finalize. Wu Tong isn't too busy right now, but she can't guarantee that she'll be free later.
"If I don't have time to attend, I will entrust the selection to..." Wu Tong made careful arrangements and explained everything properly.
If she is really stuck in important research and cannot be interrupted, then she can ask the teachers to help her select two candidates, and then ask the security department to confirm that there is no problem, and then take them to the research institute first.
