Chapter 254 Recruitment from the Peking University School
The opening ceremony of the Chinese Mathematical Society came to an end.
All the major awards that are highly anticipated by domestic scholars have also been announced.
The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award was awarded to two academicians. No matter from which aspect, they are well-deserved and no one will think there is anything wrong.
The Chung Jiaqing Award is awarded to current doctoral students in major universities, so not many people pay attention to it.
Only the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize is the most topical.
More importantly, after Wang Donglai won the international award Fields Medal, he won an award domestically for the first time.
Although people in academia also know that the Chern Mathematics Prize is not as valuable as the Fields, Wolf, or Abel Prize.
But what song should be sung on which hilltop?
Since we can stay in China, we can only follow domestic rules.
Ever since.
When the opening ceremony ended, reporters in the venue gathered around Wang Donglai.
In fact, after Wang Donglai won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, domestic reporters wanted to interview Wang Donglai.
This is even more so as he won the Abel Prize and the Fields Medal one after another.
In a sense, Wang Donglai, who has won these three awards, is already considered the first person in mathematics in China.
In addition, Wang Donglai is only twenty years old this year, which makes him even more legendary.
Reporters, including the main station, all wanted to interview Wang Donglai properly.
However, these reporters’ interview requests were rejected by Wang Donglai and were blocked outside the school by Tangdu Jiaotong University.
But now, Wang Donglai has no choice but to accept the interview.
"Professor Wang Donglai, as far as I know, you are the youngest professor in China. Do you have any special academic skills?"
"Professor Wang Donglai, you have won the top three international mathematics awards, and then won the domestic Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award. How do you feel? Can you share it with everyone."
"Professor Wang, I heard that the capital of Sakura Country Professor Watanabe of the University was expelled because of you. Can you tell me in detail?"
"Professor Wang, Sakura. The tutor of elementary school student Haruko Hokata committed suicide by hanging. Is it related to your speech at the Global Mathematicians Conference? "
"Professor Wang, many scholars and professors in the world have left messages expressing their recognition of your academic strength? , would you choose to study abroad and teach?”
The questions came one after another, both sharp and tricky.
If it were an ordinary scholar facing these questions, he would probably be in a hurry and not dare to answer easily, for fear that he would say the wrong thing.
But Wang Donglai is not among them.
He knew very well that the reason why these reporters asked these unkind questions was largely because of the attitude he showed when facing the news media.
Having the memories of many years to come, he is very aware of the unscrupulous conduct of these news media reporters.
Taking quotes out of context, avoiding the important and minimizing the important, making trouble out of nothing, creating gimmicks, and attracting traffic through confrontation.
Before the big era of self-media officially arrived, many people were not aware of these methods used by news media reporters.
When the era of self-media comes, their underwear will be stripped clean.
So, from the beginning, he was subconsciously on guard against the news media.
Unless it is an interview he has to accept, he usually refuses.
Wang Donglai did not hide his attitude, so reporters from these news media also knew it, and naturally they would not give Wang Donglai a good look.
So, here are the tough questions asked by these journalists.
If Wang Donglai gives a bad answer, it will definitely cause huge public opinion on the Internet.
Xu Songyao, who was standing by, suddenly changed his expression when he heard the reporters' questions, and immediately prepared to take Wang Donglai away without answering the reporters' questions.
But, the next second.
Wang Donglai’s voice sounded.
"The first question is that I can become the youngest professor in the country because my academic ability has reached the level of a professor. As for special academic skills, there is nothing more than Qinzi."
"The second question is, winning the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize is something I expected. I am excited, but also take it for granted."
"The third question is, what is happening in the academic world of Sakura Country? Our country’s academic community has nothing to do with it. The International Mathematical Union has already given the reason and I will not explain it any further.”
“My answer to the fourth question is the same as the last one.”
“ The fifth question is, I will not choose to study abroad or teach, because I don’t think foreign countries are much better than domestic ones. Even if there is a gap, I would rather catch up than join them.”
"I have answered your questions. I hope you will be satisfied."
After finishing speaking, Wang Donglai walked out from the crowd of reporters.
Xu Songyao ignored the others and immediately followed Wang Donglai.
“These reporters’ questions are indeed a bit excessive. You are not a celebrity, and you do not rely on the evaluation of the news media, so you don’t have to compromise your mind. As long as you don’t say the things that cannot be said, everything else will be fine! ”
“If something happens, the school will take care of it for you”
Xu Songyao did not lecture Wang Donglai or complain. Instead, he encouraged Wang Donglai and expressed his support.
Wang Donglai understood that this was not only Xu Songyao’s support for him, but also the Tang Capital Jiaotong University’s support for him.
My own academic value is far beyond what an ordinary professor can match.
Just like several domestic mathematics schools, Tangdu Jiaotong University has no status at all in the domestic mathematics community. After all, Tangdu Jiaotong University's trump card major is engineering, not mathematics.
But now that I have myself, I may not be unable to become a new school of thought in the future.
After thinking about this, Wang Donglai didn't show it in his heart, with a calm expression, and said: "Thank you Uncle Xu for your support, I am sensible."
Xu Songyao nodded and said: "As long as you are sensible, I also know You're not the kind of person who makes nothing happen Nonsense people, these journalists love to chase hot topics, and they also like to use small tricks. They are indeed a bit annoying. It’s quite refreshing if you do this!” Reporters like me, and so do I I want to speak my mind as well as you can and tell the truth!"
Wang Donglai said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, until now, you are still planning to hide it from me, but Uncle Zheng has already told me. ”
Hearing Wang Donglai Xu Songyao was not too shocked by this. He smiled softly and said, "I didn't hide it from you. The appointment from above has not come down. It would be so embarrassing if I blew the whistle first and the result was not fulfilled."
"It's better to take a step further. Even if I don't take a step further, it would be good to retire like this. I can also have more time to work on research topics that I am interested in."
Wang Donglai can hear it. , Xu Songyao told the truth, what he said from his heart, he really thought so.
However, Wang Donglai thought about it and said seriously: "Uncle Xu, I think you should be fine if you go further!"
Hearing this, Xu Songyao laughed softly. , said: "Okay, then I will lend you some good words."
......
Less than an hour.
News about this session of the Chinese Mathematical Society has appeared on various platforms. Still the same sentence.
Mathematics is inherently boring, and the audience is not large. Even if reporters interview and publish it, there is not much popularity and traffic.
However, it will be different once you get involved with Wang Donglai.
Wang Dong brings popularity and traffic.
He is so legendary.
Money, talent, and good looks!
In terms of money, Wang Donglai owns the company Galaxy Technology. You can find out how much it is worth with just a little search on the Internet.
In terms of talent, he proved several difficult problems in mathematics in the world. After only one year of college, he obtained an undergraduate degree, a master's degree, a doctorate degree, and two other undergraduate degrees.
In terms of appearance, he is over 1.8 meters tall and has a healthy and masculine temperament after reaching ten points in physical fitness, which is even more popular.
So, this news about the Chinese Mathematical Society, which had not made any splash in every session in the past, became popular on the Internet.
[The youngest professor in China, after winning international awards, he won another important domestic award! 】
[A genius in mathematics breaks the domestic record of zero! 】
【You and I will witness the legend in the mathematics world, let us re-examine Wang Donglai's growth process! 】
[The first person in the history of domestic mathematics, we will wait and see and look forward to more of his achievements! 】
【……】
The same content, but with a variety of amazing titles.
In this way, the effect is excellent and the publicity results are outstanding.
There are pictures, texts and videos.
Although netizens have already seen Wang Donglai's moment of glory at the Global Mathematicians Conference, they still felt envious when they saw Wang Donglai on stage again delivering his speech for winning the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award.
Because Wang Donglai did not open a WeChat account, many netizens flocked to the official account of Tangdu Jiaotong University to express their feelings.
“I feel sorry for Professor Wang. Professor Wang has made such great achievements and it is natural to win the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award. Why should Chen Zhongming of the Chinese Academy of Sciences win the award together with Professor Wang? I think this award It should be obtained by Professor Wang alone!”
"I support the people upstairs. For some awards, you can't just find people just to get enough people!"
"Two silly dogs upstairs. This is the official organization in the field of domestic mathematics. Such awards must be unfair. There is a reason, and it’s your turn to question it.”
"Professor Wang is indeed great, but this does not mean that other scholars and professors are not great. This is not the first place in the selection. Why should the award be awarded to only one person?"
"I have a junior high school degree and did not go to school. After going to college, fellow college students, can you explain to me this Wang Donglai? What's the significance of those mathematical problems he proved? What's the use?"
"I'm a college student, but I don't understand it. I'm just waiting for a graduate student to explain it!"
"I am a college student. Graduate student, but I am a graduate student studying liberal arts, and I don’t understand these problems. The meaning of proof is to wait for a doctor in the field of mathematics to answer the question. "
"I am in Bald Eagle, and I have just gotten off the plane. I am a PhD student in mathematics at MIT, so I will answer this question for you, number theory. Related issues will be discussed in the fields of cryptography, algorithms, and quantitative It has great application prospects in the field of sub-technology, and at the same time, it will promote the progress of science and technology. The topological group theory used by Professor Wang in the process of proving Goldbach's conjecture is a new mathematical tool, which is very important. Meaning will promote the progress of mathematics..."
"I don't know how serious it is!"
"Plus one!"
"..."
Wang Donglai was unaware of the many comments under the official account of Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Neither the school nor anyone who knew him told him about these comments.
At this moment, he was surrounded by members of the Chinese Mathematical Society.
As a popular figure in today’s mathematics world, Wang Donglai’s rise is really fast.
Before and after, it was only two years.
From an ordinary high school student, he directly became a university professor and the winner of the world's top awards.
Such a huge change in identity and rapid rise also made Wang Donglai and most members of the society extremely unfamiliar.
It can be said that Wang Donglai does not know many scholars and professors in the Chinese mathematics community.
But the people he knows are all big bosses or professors with real talents.
Wang Donglai’s participation in the Huaguo Mathematical Society this time is not only what he meant above, but also the common idea of many people.
Since they missed the stage when Wang Donglai was not rising, now that Wang Donglai has taken off, it would be really stupid for them not to come and become familiar with him.
No one with a brain would think that Wang Donglai would be blocked from the academician selection.
Even Wang Donglai is not from a certain university.
At most, it will only be postponed for a few years, and Wang Donglai will still be elected as an academician.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Wang Donglai can make relatively great achievements in the academic field in the future.
The greater the achievements Wang Donglai makes in the academic field in the future, the earlier he will be selected as an academician.
This is almost obvious and everyone understands it.
Therefore, many professors present, although much older than Wang Donglai, did not look arrogant or condescending, but maintained equality among their peers.
It seems that these professors are not reserved enough, but being able to do this makes these professors appear to be flexible and clear-minded.
After finally talking to these professors, Wang Donglai was about to slip away.
Wang Shicheng, one of the vice presidents of the Mathematical Society, came to Wang Donglai.
“Professor Wang is really young and promising. I heard that in the college entrance examination, he was the top scorer in liberal arts in the country. I didn’t expect that Professor Wang studied liberal arts in high school and had such a strong talent in the field of mathematics in college. .”
"In the past two years, our school and Wudaokou have reorganized the admissions office, and they have missed a genius like Professor Wang."
Listening to Wang Shicheng's words, Wang Donglai showed a reserved smile on his face, said: "Academician Wang was joking. I also met with the admissions office teacher at your school, but because of my own conditions, I chose Tangdu Jiaotong University. It had nothing to do with the admissions office teacher."
< br>King Shicheng waved his hand and said casually: "No matter what, missing a mathematical genius like Professor Wang also exposed their mistakes in admissions work."
"Professor Wang, here, I would like to invite you on behalf of the Institute of Mathematics at Peking University.”
“Believe me, looking at the country, Peking University is definitely one of the top research centers in the field of mathematics. You will never be disappointed if you come here. ”
"As long as you come, within ten years, I can guarantee you that I will put you on the list of candidates for academician selection."
"How about it? You don't have to rush to give me an answer. You can think about it slowly. You should be able to find my contact information, and I hope to receive good news from you!"
After that, Wang Shicheng left without waiting for Wang Dong to answer.
Watching Wang Shicheng's leaving figure, Wang Donglai laughed softly. He did not expect that Peking University had not given up on him yet.
And set out such conditions.
Shaking his head, Wang Donglai put the matter aside.
