Chapter 80: Going to America
As for the blessing of the famous reportage literature back then, most of the reporters here have heard the stories of Chen Jingrun and Goldbach's conjecture, and suddenly burst out with a bang, "So can we say that the achievements we have achieved are also of influence internationally?"
"Yes, since Poincaré proposed this conjecture in 1904, countless mathematicians have devoted themselves to this research in the past century. Smeer, Friedman, Thurston and other Fields Medal winners have made some progress, but unfortunately they have not completed the final proof!" He said regret, but in fact Professor Zhang felt extremely grateful in his heart. Then he threw out a name that reporters had heard of, "Professors of Professor Shing-Tong's proud disciples are also conducting research in this area. △¢"
Compared with Smael, Thurston and others, the name of Yau Chengtong is more well known to these reporters. They keenly discovered a problem from Yau Chengtong's resume. "Professor Zhang and Yau Chengtong have won the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics. So, does it have a chance to win the award after making such a big breakthrough?"
This question calmed the noisy venue. Everyone, including the principal, looked at Professor Zhang. Professor Zhang had thought about this problem for a long time and said reservedly, "If this breakthrough is widely recognized by the mathematics community, I think there is indeed a great possibility of winning the award!" In his opinion, winning the award is almost certain, but it is better to speak safely in front of the media.
"So did Student Lu arrive at the scene today?" Finally someone thought of the protagonist of the news.
"Well, student Lu is now in the stage of exchanging study abroad and is not in China for the time being!" The principal replied slightly depressedly, and immediately took out the "Science" and pointed to the signature in the paper and said, "But this article is signed by our Peking University. This achievement is undoubtedly the honor of Peking University!"
"Then which country is he in now? Which school? Is there any contact information for him?" The reporter ignored these things and asked in a series of questions. Since such a great achievement has been achieved, it should not be a big problem to apply for an interview abroad from Taiwan/newspaper, right?
After a while of noisy, the reporters asked a lot of questions, and then they left with the red envelopes that Minister Zhang had prepared long ago. When they returned to the newspaper, they applied to their superiors for interviews in the United States while preparing the manuscript.
Perhaps it was because the sign of the Capital University was indeed loud enough, or perhaps it was because Minister Zhang used his strength behind the scenes, reporters from the imperial court and Youth Daily were lucky enough to pass the application and embarked on a journey to the United States to interview Lu Qiujian.
The group arrived at New York Airport after a long flight. They had just got off the plane and had no time to rest, so they turned to Princeton. It was already midnight when they arrived. Li Xiao from the imperial court station and Zhou Wei from the Youth Daily had to find a hotel to stay.
I woke up early the next morning and immediately went straight to Princeton University's external liaison department based on the information I found before, and asked them to interview Lu Qiujian.
Naturally, the class time in the morning and afternoon cannot be disturbed, and training is required at night, so the time left for them is only after training; the two of them came out of the office in depressedly. If they only had their own unit name in China, the school would not immediately pull the interviewee over and let them do it, but they would have to wait for the other party to have time when they got here.
"Hey, what kind of person do you think Lu Qiujian is?" Li Xiao asked depressedly while drinking Coke.
"What is the best person in school when you were studying?" Zhou Wei asked back, "I guess these top students are probably the same?"
"Wearing a pair of thick glasses, people look a little thin. Most of them are reading books or doing questions when they see him!" Li Xiao slowly recalled, "Some are not very sociable, they usually go alone, and they don't seem to like talking to others very much. Oh, I said, if this Lu Qiujian is such a person, it would be difficult for us to interview?"
"It's not that they are not sociable, but that you are not among the sociable people!" Zhou Wei joked, "Even if he is not good at communicating, aren't there so many teachers and classmates? At that time, they will interview their evaluation of Lu Qiujian. The audience and readers like foreigners to praise our compatriots the most. After that, they will be made to ensure their popularity!"
"Well, what you said makes sense!" Li Xiao patted his camera, "Then I'm much more advantageous than you. The picture is more attractive than the text when doing this!"
After dinner, the two returned to the hotel to make up for a while. After waking up, they headed straight to the Vladivos Indoor Sports Hall, stood outside the Sports Hall and looked at each other wonderingly, "Are you sure you heard it right? Is this place? Why are we seeing a student from the mathematics department coming to the gym?"
"Are you a reporter from the imperial court? Come to interview Lu Qiujian?" Just when the two were a little confused, a Chinese reporter who was also waiting next to him saw the logo on Li Xiao's camera coming to say hello.
"Yes, are you?" Li Xiao was a little wary. Which reporter is this? He actually came earlier than him!
"Oh, I am Feng Hongqi of Sports Weekly! Why didn't Daxu and the others come this time?" Feng Hongqi quickly handed over the business card, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised that the reporters in charge of basketball at the imperial court were familiar with him. Why hadn't they seen these two before? Could it be the newcomers who entered the Taiwan Strait?
"Who is Daxu? From that department?" Li Xiao became even more confused. What are you doing here for a sports newspaper? Is mathematics now also divided into sports events? In the future, the Olympics will have to compare math problems?
"Da Xu is the one in charge of basketball at the Sports Station! He is tall and has a buzz cut..." Feng Hongqi became more and more strange as he spoke, and he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you here to interview Lu Qiujian?"
"I came here to interview him! But what does he have to do with your sports newspapers?" Li Xiao couldn't help asking.
"He is a well-known player in NCAA. If he participates in the NBA draft after the NCAA game this year, he will at least be in the top five! Do you think such a player is worth sending someone to interview?" Feng Hongqi asked back after saying that, "Don't you both know about this?"
"NBA? The NBA that Yao Ming beat?" The two looked at each other in surprise, "We attended a press conference at the Peking University. We knew that Lu had achieved a world-shocking result in mathematics, so we came to interview!"
After saying that, the three reporters opened their mouths at the same time. They all felt that the original image of Lu Qiujian in their hearts became fragmented and blurred in an instant.
