"Wu Tong, do you still remember me?" The old man who had just been communicating with Dean Pan and Professor Zhou Wenping looked at Wu Tong with a smile and asked.
"Academician Shen, how could I forget you? When I participated in the IMO training camp, it was you who announced the list in person. You also led the team to the International Congress of Mathematicians!" It was a year or two ago. Although they were both in Beijing, she had basically no free time in the past two years and had no communication with the president of the Chinese Mathematician Association.
She had previously held two major academic conferences, and this old man attended the conferences. However, due to health reasons, he did not attend the celebration banquet held by the municipal government afterwards, so they were unable to talk again.
"Thank you for your outstanding contributions to Chinese mathematics!" Academician Shen expressed his gratitude. Wu Tong's successive breakthroughs, including the Goldbach conjecture and the NS equation, have significantly elevated the status of Chinese mathematics. All of this is thanks to this young man, who dedicated his life to Chinese mathematics and has enabled us to witness this magnificent achievement. How could he not be grateful?
When Wu Tong proved Zhou's conjecture during IMO training, he envisioned a world-class mathematical community. He never imagined that this possibility would become reality so quickly. Wu Tong's achievements are now drawing worldwide attention.
"You're too kind. This is all the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did what I should do!"
"Wu Tong!" As he spoke, another group of people came in. Lu Xiao, Zhan Gong, and the others leading the group couldn't help but call out with a smile. The time they chose to go out today was really good. As soon as they entered the door, they saw their boss, Wu.
"Brother Lu, Engineer Zhan, Professor Feng!" Wu Tong turned around and looked at the newcomers, his smile widening. Brother Lu and the others had also arrived. "Did everything go smoothly on the way?" Wu Tong's question was actually a double entendre, as he was concerned about the project. He asked if there had been any problems in the past two days and how the arrangements were going.
"It's going smoothly, everything is fine!" Engineer Zhan replied with a smile. With the successful preparation experience already available, what else could be wrong?
"Director Pan, Lao Cheng, Professor Zhou, Academician Zhang..." They are all in a big circle, everyone knows each other, and they have even cooperated on projects. They all know each other and can't help but greet each other warmly.
"Engineer Zhan, Professor Feng, President Lu..."
As the group exchanged greetings, more and more people gathered. Dean Pan and Elder Cheng led everyone to their seats. Wu Tong had already arrived, and the meeting was about to begin, and the countdown had already begun.
As the professors and scholars participating in the conference took their seats, leaders at all levels also arrived one after another, and the bustling venue gradually became quiet, which was a reflection of the quality of the atmosphere.
On the podium, a banner with white letters on a red background that read "National Science and Technology Awards Conference" in huge fonts was raised. Below it, a bright red and golden curtain embraced the national emblem. A solemn and dignified aura naturally spread out, and when people looked up, they unconsciously became solemn and serious.
As loud singing rang out from the speakers, the award ceremony, which represents the highest level of honor in the Chinese academic community, finally kicked off amid the eager anticipation of all the scientific researchers in the audience!
In Yanyuan, after Wu Tong left, Wu Jingzhong and his wife quickly dried the bedding and hurried downstairs to ask Jinyuan to turn on the TV and tune it to the national channel.
"I remember there will be news, right?" Jin Yu and Wu Jingzhong confirmed.
"There should be real-time news, but it may not be broadcast until the evening!" However, as long as there is a possibility, they will pay attention to it first, on their mobile phones and on TV, they will pay attention to it simultaneously.
"What's the rush?" Jin Yuan did as he was told quickly, but he was still a little confused. Why did his elder sister ask him to turn on the TV as soon as he entered the door? I haven't heard that his sister has any hot TV series recently, right?
Isn’t it said that there is nothing good about the TV dramas and shows nowadays, and they are getting worse and worse, so you might as well just stop watching them?
"Tongtong, Tongtong is going to the Great Hall to attend the National Science and Technology Awards Conference. We want to see if the news will be broadcast in real time!" Wu Jingzhong explained to his family with a smile. Although many people may think that Tongtong may not win the award today, they are ready. Maybe they can meet Tongtong?
"Oh, Tongtong went to the Great Hall again? Haha... My precious granddaughter is amazing. The TV is on, always on. You guys are so good at using your phones, and you've turned on all your data. Watch more and pay more attention! Jinyuan, turn on your computer at home too. Isn't the internet the fastest way to get news?"
Upon hearing his beloved granddaughter was attending a meeting at the Great Hall, Jin Yongqing's eyes lit up with joy. He raised his voice and hurriedly ordered, "At the awards ceremony, maybe his daughter Tongtong could win a prize too!" He had carefully researched Tongtong's mathematical achievements, which were truly rare. He felt the chances of winning were quite good!
He felt that Tongtong was still young. First and second prizes were available. If Tongtong wasn't there, then at least she should be given a third prize or an Excellence Award. They weren't greedy. Any prizes were great, but not winning them didn't matter. His precious granddaughter being able to hold an academic conference at the Great Hall and attract tens of thousands of people was already a truly remarkable and glorious feat! She far surpassed the older generation and their parents.
Sharing the same ideals as the family are people from the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Kyoto University.
"Mr. Wu should be here, right?" Tao Ran confirmed with Ruan Chengxu somewhat uncertainly. This was the first time for their Mr. Wu to attend the National Science and Technology Awards Conference. They felt that they were more nervous than Mr. Wu himself.
"It should be time, it's about to start. Mr. Wu should be able to win an award, right?" They all felt that with the importance of the Goethe conjecture and the NS equation, as well as the series of achievements made by their Mr. Wu, he could even be considered for the first prize in natural sciences!
Although they understand that the Natural Science Prize focuses on theoretical fields, rather than mathematics, it actually leans towards physics. In addition, the awarding body is not an academic institution after all, so other factors must be considered in addition to academic achievements.
However, if Mr. Wu's achievements cannot win the award, they really don't know who else can win the first prize in natural sciences.
Everyone was looking forward to what would happen on the scene with great anticipation.
At ten o'clock sharp, the venue was silent as the annual Science and Technology Awards Conference officially began.
The spokesperson took the stage and spoke on behalf of the delegation: "We attach great importance to science and technology, and respect and care for scientific and technological workers. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, my country's science and technology has achieved remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. The vast number of scientific and technological workers have worked hard, dedicated themselves, and bravely climbed to new heights, writing a glorious chapter. It is another year of the Science and Technology Awards Conference, and we will..."
