Go to Beijing.

In an apartment of Yanda teaching and administrative community, the two old men are sitting in the living room, drinking tea and chatting with each other.

Because they were both mathematicians and academicians, the two old men chatted and the topic naturally ran to mathematics.

It happened that the IMO competition had just come to an end. When it comes to the achievements of the Chinese team in the competition, Xiang Huanan's academician expressed his approval.

"The team is the first, 5 gold and 1 silver. There is another one with full marks. The team led by Academician Wang has made great achievements!"

Academician Wang Shicheng smiled and put his hands on it.

"Hi, what's the relationship with me? The competition is all about Professor Yang and these young people. I went around twice during the training. I didn't help much except to help out a venue. Moreover, those students who can get this score are good at their own strength and are good at studying mathematics. What our mathematics center can help them, that is to say, help them to make up for some knowledge defects. "

Although he said so, the old man was quite happy from the angle of his cocked mouth.

At his present age, it is impossible for him to continue to make academic achievements, especially since he retired from the position of president of the Chinese mathematics society, he has basically retired to the second tier and began to live a happy life.

Yang Yong'an, the teacher who led the team to participate in the IMO competition, can be regarded as his first disciple. Besides Tian Gang, the academic leader of Yan University School, he is also one of his favorite students.

He will also be pleased that his successful student can lead the Chinese Olympic team to such a great success.

What do you say?

When a man reaches this age, he doesn't want money. When he touches the ceiling, he has nothing to pursue. If he can leave something to the people behind, whether it's knowledge or talent, it's a happy thing for him.

"You are modest to say that. A good seedling is a good one, but it depends on who cultivates it." He laughed to South China and continued with some emotion, "but to be honest, it's more and more difficult to win the first place since the promotion of quality education and the reduction of the Olympic Games bonus policy. It's not easy to win five gold medals this time."

"Yes." Wang Shicheng nodded his head and said with some sympathy, "the support of the state and society is still necessary for the development of basic science. The current environment is certainly different from that of more than ten years ago. It is right to reduce the burden and make fun of education / governance, but in any case, it is quite good to get this achievement."

Basic science can't directly affect a country's scientific research ability, but a country with weak basic science can't stand in the forefront of the world in any case.

Especially mathematics.

Although knowledge is indeed shared, but the use of methods and experience of inheritance, these things are not books or hard disk carriers, but people-oriented.

"What you said is true," sighed to the academician of South China. "It is thanks to academician Lu that he has inspired many people into this field. I have been to primary schools and kindergartens several times. I asked the children who want to be scientists why they want to be scientists when they grow up. Their answer is that they want to be Professor Lu -- "

" poof -- "

Looking at Wang Shicheng who suddenly choked out of a sip of tea, he was stunned when he went to Hua Nantong, and hurriedly handed some paper towels to his old friend who was coughing.

"What's the matter with you? Choked by tea? We are not young. Be careful. "

“……”

The old face turned red. Wang Shicheng wanted to talk, but he was still stuck in his throat. He couldn't speak at all.

This old thing!

A second ago, I was still praising their great contribution, but before I turned around, I flattered academician Lu again. If it's just someone else, it's just this hateful kid

After patting her chest for a long time, Wang Shicheng gasped slowly, took a paper towel and wiped her mouth and the tea sprinkled on her neck, gasping.

“…… Nothing, you go on! "

Looking at the old guy's expression, Xiang Huanan always thought that he was a little out of place, but he couldn't say where it was.

Shaking his head, just as he was going to put this matter aside and continue to talk about the exciting topic that he had not finished, he was suddenly stunned and touched the back of his head awkwardly.

“…… Look at my memory. Where did I just talk about? "

Wang Shicheng: "forget it, let's change the topic."

"Well, it's not an important thing anyway, eh! People, this memory, "sighed and clapped his big / leg. Suddenly, he remembered that there was another important thing he didn't ask, and then he said," I almost forgot to ask. Do we have a full mark this time? What's the boy's name? "

Wang Shicheng: " Zimmer. ""Zimmer? Ji's surname is rare. It's a very interesting name, "he said with a smile to South China." when this boy arrives at your Yanda University, he must be trained as an important person, right

Originally, the mood has almost recovered. Hearing this sentence, Wang Shicheng's face suddenly twitches again.

“…… He didn't report to Yanda. "

Nima!

Is this a pot that can't be opened or lifted?!

He doubted whether the old man had come to visit him and made a special trip to piss him off.

If you let Xiang Huanan know what this old friend is thinking, he will surely cry out for injustice. He didn't expect that any young man would refuse Yanda's invitation.

"Didn't come to Yanda? no Don't you To waterwood? "

Almost from the cleft of his teeth, Wang Shicheng squeezed out a word.

"Jinling!"

What he regrets most now is that last time he made a polite remark in Shangjing and invited Professor Lu to visit Yanda mathematics center. Because that time, according to a guy, he not only poached a "potential unlimited" Chen Yang from him, but also got a good seedling with full marks in this IMU competition.

What a hate!

Hate it!

Hearing that it was Jinling, I finally nodded to South China, but I thought of something totally different from what Wang Shicheng thought. I felt the scum on my chin and murmured.

"Jinling It's OK to go to Jinling. Professor Lu is there. It's not bad to follow him. Don't think it's better to run away from home and live in the temple. "

Liu from China and Schulz from Germany won the gold medal in the IMO competition in 2006. Now one of them is already the winner of the fields prize and is regarded as one of the scholars who have the most hope to surpass the fields. The other one is the hermit of Buddhism, the name of the law Xianyu, which makes people sigh.

When I think about it, I feel heartache to South China.

He has met that young man. He was a very good young man. For this reason, he had a quarrel with the old man sitting next to him. He thought that Yanda had buried the talent.

The two old men sighed for different things, and soon arrived at lunch.

As usual, during the meal, Wang Shicheng turned on the TV and switched to the news channel.

International news starts on time when it arrives at 12:00 sharp.

The host sitting in the studio ended with a few simple opening remarks and soon started today's first international news.

And the content of this article is naturally about the anti-terrorism military exercise code named "mission".

Wang Shicheng, who was sitting at the dinner table, saw the picture on TV and the airborne cabin falling from the deep air, but soon sighed a little sadly.

"I can't keep up with the times now. When I heard the word" air force "on TV, I didn't understand what it was. I didn't expect that it was only a year or two ago, and even the exercises were arranged."

"It's like this when I'm old," he said with a sigh of empathy. Watching TV, he went to South China. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "speaking of this military exercise, I heard a rumor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Wang Shicheng: "what hearsay?"

Xiang Huanan: "it is said that this military exercise is actually arranged to escort academician Lu to Russia to attend the IMU Conference But I think the rumor is a little bit ridiculous. Mr. Qian didn't go abroad to visit at that time. Now, the international situation can't be more severe than that, right? Anyway, I don't think it's going to make such a big show. "

Academician Lu

This is Wang Shicheng. Today, I heard this annoying name for the third time.

But this time, he didn't respond in a particular way, or even comment on it.

After a moment of silence, the old man sighed softly.

"Since ancient times, no scholar has been able to receive such courtesy..."

And he didn't just do it, he did it as a mathematician.

Even though he didn't like the name, Wang Shicheng still had to believe that his achievements really deserve the honor

"It's just a rumor. Don't take it too seriously. But this kid Niubi is really Niubi. He didn't come to my Chinese Academy of Sciences to study for postgraduate before, but Lao Lu picked up this cheap one. It's a big loss! " Seeing where Wang Shicheng sighed, he smiled to South China and continued, "well, you are invited to this IMU conference. Last time in Brazil, you didn't go there. This time, do you want to go?"

It must be a pity not to go.

It's only once in four years. It's hard to say how many times I can attend.

But if I go, I have to see that disgusting face again

Facing this problem, Wang Shicheng struggled for a long time in his heart, then made up his mind with his teeth clenched, and finally nodded."Go! People's invitations have been sent, why not go? "

Although I don't like that boat very much.

But we can see the Chinese mathematics field blooming on the world stage

His heart is still very happy.
