Xuehua flew to Kyoto University to make an appointment for the academic conference, signaling that another grand event, no less grand than the NS equation academic conference, was about to take place. Wu Tong didn't want to make it too grand this time, intending to invite only a few internationally renowned scholars to witness it. However, with the mountain of appointments, the event ultimately continued with the usual scale, with the Great Hall and the 10,000-person conference hall.
"This is a grand event for the world. We can't be subtle, nor does it need to be. Wu Tong, don't think it's troublesome for us to arrange it. This is an honor that Peking University has been longing for!" Pan Wenhua cheerfully instructed Wu Tong, "If you have any ideas, just bring them up. We'll take care of it willingly! It's not a bit of trouble at all!"
If Wu Tong did not value Peking University and had no intention of changing the organizer, the higher-ups would be waiting to help Wu Tong organize the event. Many universities would be eager to have this opportunity. If Peking University, having this honor, did not give its all, it would be a real fool.
"With the help of your academic conference, we've been able to organize such grand events. Every time, Kyoto University, the municipal government, and major companies have benefited immensely. They're looking forward to this event even more than we are!"
The cost of sponsoring Wu Tong's academic lectures has been going on almost since Wu Tong's Goldbach proof academic lecture. Countless large companies have been waving their checkbooks, waiting for the favor of Peking University. Sponsorships from well-known alumni have continued to pour into the Peking University fund in the past two years. Peking University is really not short of money!
"Okay, Dean Pan, I will follow your arrangements. Everything will be left to you in full charge. I will provide the personnel and reports at the briefing!" Wu Tong smiled and entrusted this important task.
While this might have been a lot of trouble for her, it was a great honor for Jingda. Pan Wenhua responded with a cheerful voice, "No problem, no problem. Leave it to me. All you have to do is go up on stage and give your report!"
Pan Wenhua is in high spirits at the moment. He never thought that at his age, he would still be able to host such grand events again and again. He hosted four large-scale academic conferences, two of which were huge achievements such as the Millennium Problems. Both were almost only slightly less difficult than the Millennium Problems, and in their respective fields, they were also major achievements in solving top world problems!
Such a glorious experience is something that many people have achieved. Now he has it easily in his hands. He has to thank the Peking University Admissions Office for recruiting Wu Tong into Peking University. He is also grateful to Wu Tong for choosing Peking University and creating miracles time and time again!
Therefore, Peking University and its School of Mathematics must live up to this trust and make arrangements with the utmost care!
Flights from overseas landed in Beijing one after another, bringing with them mathematicians of varying skin tones, hair colors, even builds and personalities. Seeing the familiar reception signs at Capital International Airport, the surroundings were familiar. They all met up with the Princeton group, and Andrew, who had arrived a little earlier and waited a while before joining them.
"Hi everyone, nice to see you again! You've finally arrived! Even the snails in England are faster than you!" Andrew, true to his usual style, greeted his old friends with a touch of joking and joyful reunion. Last year, he officially returned to his alma mater, Merton College, Oxford, to teach for three years, officially leaving Princeton. The chairmanship of Princeton's mathematics department was handed over to Charles Fefferman, known simply as Feynman.
"Hey... Andrew, I thought you'd get suffocated by the foggy city's gloom, but it looks like you're in pretty good shape." Feynman rolled his eyes at the sun-kissed Princeton group. Thanks to him, he was now overwhelmed by school affairs. Previously, this had been Andrew's burden! The mess he'd left behind had fallen on him, caught off guard.
"Andrew, we are relieved to see that you have adapted well!" Deligne and others stepped forward and nodded in greeting to Andrew.
"You are the conscience of Princeton!" Andrew raised his head proudly. "I, Andrew, will be respected wherever I go!"
"It's just that I didn't expect you to meet up in the far east before you even made it to Great Britain for me to buy you a drink. Does this count as an annual exception?" Or would twice a year be more appropriate? Andrew shrugged. It was all a miracle anyway.
"May you and I always have the honor to witness the progress of mathematics!" Deligne's summary was extremely insightful. As difficult problems were solved one after another, what they came to witness was the progress of mathematics!
"To celebrate the progress in mathematics, let's go to the reception area first, then go to the hotel and wait to participate in this event!" There were quite a few of them, so they shouldn't be blocking the normal traffic here. Didn't they see that the airport reception staff were already walking towards them? Didn't they think they were in trouble?
"Tao, nice to meet you here!" Mr. Qiu looked at Terence Tao with a smile. It was a coincidence that they arrived one after the other and met when picking up their luggage.
"Mr. Qiu, nice to meet you too. Would you like to go to the hotel together?" Tao responded with a smile. They were familiar with the place and had the same goal, so it was a good opportunity for them to go together and chat about mathematics on the way.
One encounter after another took place at the Beijing Airport. Most of the internationally renowned scholars knew each other. Even if they were not close friends, they had met and talked before. In this case, they all came to attend Wu Tong's academic lecture. Meeting at the airport and reuniting in a different place seemed to have become a common occurrence.
The streets and alleys of Shangjing are once again dominated by the topic of mathematics. The people of Shangjing are always on the hottest roads, their conversations always on the cutting edge of the latest news.
Countless mathematics enthusiasts flocked to Shangjing, and many of them came to Shangjing simply to witness it. Even if they could not enter the Great Hall and did not make an appointment, this did not affect their eagerness to come for pilgrimage. In Shangjing, they and our God breathed the same air, and here, they witnessed the birth of miracles for the first time. The feeling was completely different!
The Shangjing Municipal Government has already deployed the early warning plan used to welcome last year's National Day to ensure that during the event, no matter how many people flock in, the safety of the people must be guaranteed, and unnecessary malicious incidents that affect the progress of the event must be prevented. Patrol cars are constantly shuttling through the streets and alleys, and traffic police are on duty on almost every street.
The city's appearance was meticulously cleaned up on the eve of the event. Shangjing itself is now a recycling city with very effective garbage sorting and no large-scale garbage landfill or incineration. After more than a year of nurturing, Shangjing is now in a state of beautiful waters and mountains, lush forests, and vitality.
