This child is so young that one can only envy him. He hasn't even reached adulthood yet, but the country will certainly not ignore Wu Tong's excellence. "Talent is chosen regardless of background" is a saying of great men, and it also serves as the principle for the country to select talents and implement policies in depth.
"Applying for national research projects requires a lot of procedures. If you have an idea, you can first apply for school funding. The school also has targeted research funding, and many research expenses can be directly covered by scientific research funds!"
This is only temporary. Wu Tong's rise is too fast, and many of the necessary equipment cannot keep up with her growth rate. Her age will also be a little restrictive in the country.
If it comes to the Changjiang Elite Young Scientists program or the like, Wu Tong doesn't meet the age requirements or academic qualifications, but for the Ten Thousand Top Talents program, it's not impossible for Wu Tong to give it a try.
"Although we mathematicians don't spend as much as physics and materials, we still have expenses. For example, travel expenses for going abroad or on business trips, publication fees for journals, and better office equipment, such as computers and printers...
Even if you give yourself a salary of tens of thousands for living expenses, it's fine. These are all legitimate expenses, as long as you don't make up stories or commit fraud! ... The country and the university are very willing to pay for talents like you who can solve major problems! "
There are not too many restrictions on reasonable expenditure. Li Yisheng sighed slightly in his heart. The academic world is not without any shadows. There are bad apples everywhere. However, we still cannot deny the whole world because of a single rat.
Wu Tong probably understood the significance of scientific research funding, which is the country's strong support for scientific research.
However, before filling out the proposal report in the afternoon, Wu Tong had something else to deal with.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Wu Tong welcomed an interview with a reporter from an official newspaper. The reporter wanted to do a targeted interview and report on Wu Tong to set an example for new young people.
The interview took place at Peking University, where Wu Tong was taken back to campus and placed in the lecture hall of the School of Mathematics. The prominent Peking University logo served as the backdrop for Wu Tong's interview.
The reporter's surname was Peng. He looked refined and elegant, with a touch of scholarly elegance and a touch of gray hair. He looked more like an educator than a reporter. He had indeed been in charge of the education section for many years and was a seasoned veteran. This time, to show their appreciation for Wu Tong, they had sent him over.
Reporter Peng's interview style was relaxed, like a casual conversation, which put Wu Tong at ease. She had little experience with reporters, and this was her first true one-on-one interview, so she was a bit nervous.
"Do you have any thoughts about your current achievements?" After learning about Wu Tong's information, he had interviewed so many famous scholars, but he was still shocked by this girl's achievements and was speechless for a long time.
It is almost unimaginable for many people that the prover of Zhou's conjecture, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the first gold medal and special prize in the IMO, and the prover of the twin prime conjecture are all in the hands of a little girl who is not even seventeen years old. Perhaps, this girl can achieve even greater achievements in the future!
He even reflected on himself: what was he doing at the age of sixteen? Was there anything worth mentioning?
Apparently, no. At sixteen, he was just an ordinary student, still worried about whether he could continue his studies. Meanwhile, this young woman had already amazed the world and was making a name for herself in the international mathematics community.
"Thoughts? I should be grateful to myself for waking up at the right time, making good use of my time, and achieving the desired results. I used to be quite playful, too. Or, I should thank my mother, Teacher Jin, for her unyielding encouragement since I was a child?" Wu Tong smiled gently.
“It is my honor and our wish to use what I have learned to bring glory to our country.
I just did some ordinary things and solved two math problems. In this world, there are many more great people and great deeds, soldiers guarding the border, firefighters saving people from fire and water, public security officers protecting people's lives and safety, selfless and unknown scientific researchers... Compared with them, I just moved my pen and have only done some theoretical things so far.
I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to contribute more to my country with what I have learned!"
"To achieve these modest achievements, I owe a lot to many people. I thank my parents, my grandparents, my uncle... Thank you for giving me your unique love. No matter what I am like, I am the best in their eyes. I thank my teachers for never giving up on me, a poor student. I thank Beijing University for its freedom and openness, which has provided me with the resources and platform to make progress..."
"Student Wu Tong is so simple and humble!" Reporter Peng was moved. This little girl is amazing. She has such a kind of character. He can't help but envy the child's parents.
She is grateful for her achievements, yet remains humble and focused. Her words are filled with no embellishments, no excessive praise for her achievements, only with deep emotion.
"What made you delve into mathematics?" the interview continued.
"I think I like it. I like acquiring knowledge, the joy of learning and mastering! My mother taught mathematics in elementary school. Mathematics was the first subject I came into contact with besides speaking. I have a deep memory of it!" Wu Tong laughed. Before, the word "very deep memory" would probably have to be replaced by another word, bitter and resentful.
But after she really fell in love with learning from the bottom of her heart, mathematics became the foundation of her greatest love. She would not mention this point and make fun of herself, at least to give herself some face.
"Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. It is indispensable in all aspects of our lives and scientific research!"
"Love and interest are the best motivation. How could you prove such a major global problem as the twin prime conjecture within such a tight timeframe for the IMO?"
"The twin prime conjecture is a question I've been exploring since I came to Kyoto University to study after the Lunar New Year. It's a very interesting mathematical problem that I've been working on for half a year. I'd also like to thank an unknown teacher at Kyoto University who once suggested that I consider looking into topology..."
At the end of the IMO competition, I extended the discussion on mathematics with Professor Li Cheng, our team leader, and suddenly I had an inspiration. After in-depth deduction, I figured out the general direction of proving it!
Actually, I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I just wanted to prove it by the end of July and give it to myself as a birthday present.”
"My team leader, Professor Li Cheng, helped me with the logistics throughout the whole process. I didn't have to worry about anything. It took me two days to produce the proof, and another three days to organize the paper and submit it for uploading!" As for those competing remarks, there is no need to elaborate here, everyone knows it well.
