"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 achievements with real evidence, and the world should know about them. So the school means that we can let the general media do whatever they want, but we still have to give face 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 do as the school arranges!" It was just an interview and it probably wouldn't take too long, so Wu Tong had no objection.
As the teachers 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 be interviewed, he would do it tomorrow. They still had to maintain the style of Peking University.
On May 6th, at 9:00 am, the IMO national team gathered and entered the first round of training in the sprint stage.
Professor Li will lead the IMO national team this time, and Wu Tong will remain independent. However, she plans to participate as much as possible, attending training sessions as much as possible, and continuing her studies without delay.
After all, this was training for an international competition, so she still needed to understand some of the rules in more detail. No matter how well she did on the questions, if she got the rules wrong, it would be all in vain; that was the most basic mistake.
"Welcome my God!"
As soon as Wu Tong stepped into the IMO national team training room, several team members, led by Guo Jiachen, burst into laughter and applause. "Wu Tong's last name wouldn't be as fitting as the character 'Wu', which represents 'myself'!"
They really mean, My God!
From yesterday to today, they've been bombarded with news that Wu Tong proved Zhou's conjecture and published it in the Annals of Mathematics, an SCI Zone 1 core journal. They've known Wu Tong was talented, but they never imagined he could be this impressive!
Witnessing Wu Tong's successful solution to a world-class problem, and having it published in a leading journal, they all felt like they were dreaming. It proved once again that they were just ordinary people! A true god had already reached a realm that they might never 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're all too kind. Let's discuss this together and fight for China!" Wu Tong held his forehead and laughed. "I'm just one step ahead of you. You all have a promising future too!"
These are the top mathematics 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 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!
"Thanks to my God's auspicious words, our hearts instantly swelled!"
A few students were laughing and joking, and the team leader and teachers who had arrived earlier didn't stop them. They would spend a lot of time together in the future, not just during the IMO training and competition, but even in college. If nothing unexpected happened, they would still be classmates, so a cheerful atmosphere was a good thing.
They are all the treasures 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 they haven't seen top students fighting each other like chicken eyes. This year, there is a genius who is leading the way with dazzling results. The teachers here feel a little 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 to discuss 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 Yishen 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 study session, Li Yisheng gently knocked on the corner of Wu Tong's desk, signaling her to come out first.
"The reporters are coming!" Li Yishen whispered to Wu Tong and reminded him of some precautions. In fact, there was nothing to arrange. 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, as well as some less familiar faces. Among them, the two leading ones had extraordinary temperaments, different from ordinary professors.
"Wu Tong, this is Mayor Liu, the education director of Shangjing City, and Comrade Tao, a high-ranking official in the HD District!" Pan Wenhua immediately introduced the two. "Mayor Liu, Comrade Tao, this is Wu Tong, the man who proved the world's most difficult problem, the Zhou conjecture! Wu Tong, he was just at the opening of the IMO national team's training camp!"
"Young talent, outstanding student, you have shaken the world of mathematics. On behalf of our city of Jing, I would like to express my gratitude for your contributions! The country is honored to have outstanding children like you!"
Deputy Mayor Liu and Secretary Tao smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Wu Tong. The accompanying reporters and 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 was supposed to do. I'm very happy that I could contribute a little to the glory of our country, and I don't deserve your gratitude!"
She was actually still a bit bewildered. Wasn't this just a simple interview with a reporter? Why were city leaders involved? While Zhou's conjecture hadn't been solved in nearly twenty years, that didn't mean no one could solve it. It was simply that many of the world's top experts had different research directions and hadn't taken action.
"Haha, Wu Tong is very modest and a good kid with traditional Chinese virtues!" Deputy Mayor Liu continued to praise him.
Wu Tong had solved this problem in Shangjing, at Shangjing University, and was currently in Shangjing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a chance to appear.
The leadership team of the Central Plains Province where she came from, all watched helplessly, but due to the rules, they could not leave their posts and come to Beijing. The fact that outstanding talents were in their place in Beijing made people even happier!
"We must thoroughly implement the basic principles of the strategy of revitalizing the country through science and education, adhere to the principle of prioritizing education, and cultivate talent. This has always been the top priority of our country's education work. No matter how difficult it is, we must not neglect education. To this end, after receiving information from the Education Bureau yesterday, our Shangjing City leadership team collectively discussed and came up with a plan to award you a certain amount of material rewards. We wish our student Wu Tong continued glory for the country!"
The Municipal Education Bureau has already done an assessment yesterday. Considering the child's level, he will undoubtedly win the gold medal in this year's IMO. It is not impossible to keep hoping for 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!
This year's IMO will let those Westerners who look down on China open their eyes and see how the outstanding children of their country stand out from the crowd!
