Chapter 587 Chen Shengshen Award
After the speech, this World Congress of Mathematicians ushered in the first climax of the conference, which is the winners of various awards.

All mathematicians focused their attention on the stage, and the leaders of the International Mathematical Union announced the list of Fields Medal winners this year, and awarded gold medals and bonuses.

There are a total of five Fields Medal winners this year, namely Liu Xuan, a professor of the Department of Mathematics of Huaxia Shuimu University, Voevodsky, a Russian mathematician, James Maynard, a professor of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Oxford, Wiener, a professor of the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University, and French mathematician Allawi.

For his student Liu Xuanneng who won the Fields Medal this time, Qin Yuanqing sent his blessings, and he has also reached a world-class level in the field of function theory.But to be honest, Qin Yuanqing thought that Deng Tong or Anastasia would be the first to win the Fields Medal. After all, in the past few years, the achievements of the two are no less than Liu Xuan, even in the world. Mathematics is more famous.

But this is normal, because there are only four or five Fields Medal winners in one session, the number of places is very limited, and the competition is very fierce. It is normal for some to win and some to lose.

However, with the failure of Deng Tong and Anastasia, it also means that the first batch of doctoral students he led, and others have officially bid farewell to the Fields Medal, unless they can make great mathematical achievements, so that Phil It is a pity that the award jury can make an exception for them, but the possibility of this is very slim.

However, at this time, when the Newanglinna Award for information science was awarded, Anastasia successfully won this award in order to reward her application of mathematics in information science in the field of aerospace, which made the field successfully realize Huge breakthrough.

Next was the Gauss Award in memory of the 'Prince of Mathematics' Gauss. This award is mainly used to reward those who have made achievements in applied mathematics. To Peter, a Russian mathematician, in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of applied mathematics and multiple engineering interdisciplinary fields.

Then the Shiingshen Chern Award was presented, which was established by the International Mathematical Union to commemorate the late Chinese mathematician Chern Shiingshen, and to reward scientists who have made achievements in the field of international mathematics. The award was first awarded in 2010, and it has been awarded for four times so far, and a total of four people have won it.The four winners are Nirenberg in 2010, Philip Griffiths in 2014, Masaki Kashiwahara in 2018, and Yau Shing Tong in 2022.

The Chern Award is a lifetime achievement award, regardless of the branch of mathematics, awarded to 'an individual who has won the highest praise for his lifetime outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics'.

Therefore, the winners of each Chern Award are relatively older mathematicians, and it is normal for them to be in their [-]s and [-]s.

"The winner of the Chern Prize this year is Qin from China! Qin's achievements in mathematics are obvious to all. He surpassed any great mathematician in the history of mathematics, and he brought mathematics to a whole new level." At this time , announced the winners of the Chern Award.

When Qin Yuanqing heard his name, he was stunned. He had already announced his withdrawal from domestic or international awards. He participated in this conference of mathematicians mainly because he wanted to have mathematical exchanges with mathematicians from all over the world. Listen to the report and see the hot frontiers and fields of mathematics research in the world today.

Unexpectedly, the Chern Award was actually awarded to him.

However, Qin Yuanqing got up anyway. If he refused to accept the award, then this mathematician conference would become the laughing stock of the world. From then on, the Chern Award would also become a discriminated award.

Qin Yuanqing stepped onto the stage. Amidst the warm applause of tens of thousands of mathematicians, Qin Yuanqing took over the gold medal engraved with Chern's head and the bonus, which was relatively high, as high as 25 US dollars.

"Thanks to the International Mathematical Union for awarding me the Chern Prize! Thank you!" Qin Yuanqing's speech was very simple.

However, there was still warm applause from the entire venue. It was obvious that Qin Yuanqing was well deserved and expected to be awarded this award.Qin Yuanqing is not honored by winning the Chern Award, but the Chern Award is enhanced by Qin Yuanqing's award.

To be honest, if Qin Yuanqing had not announced his withdrawal from the competition for the awards, otherwise, it would not be an exaggeration to award the Fields Medal to Qin Yuanqing, whether it is the proof of the Hodge conjecture or the final proof of the Riemann conjecture , are enough for Qin Yuanqing to enjoy the Fields Medal alone.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the Chern Award to be awarded to Qin Yuanqing, because this is a lifetime achievement award, which represents the affirmation of Qin Yuanqing's contribution to mathematics by the world's mathematics community.

Therefore, more than [-] mathematicians applauded thunderously, and the thunderous applause was like an erupting torrent, deafening to the ears.

It wasn't just the venue where the atmosphere was ignited.

When the leader of the International Federation of Mathematicians pronounced the name of 'Qin Yuanqing', the spotlights all focused on Qin Yuanqing, and the live broadcast media immediately focused on Qin Yuanqing, and the host quickly recited Qin Yuanqing's math achievements.

At the same time, the audience who watched the live broadcast were also excited.

It was different from the World Congress of Mathematicians held in China in 2002. At that time, the media was not developed, and mathematics was far away from the lives of ordinary people. It was far less popular than the Olympic Games.But in today's society, the media is developed, and after so many years of publicity, Chinese people know that the World Congress of Mathematicians is held every four years, and it is a prosperous age in the mathematics world. This prosperous age is no less than the Summer Olympics.

What's more, the World Mathematicians Conference has Qin Yuanqing, a banner figure in the Chinese scientific community, participating. Wherever Qin Yuanqing goes, it will attract the attention of the Chinese people, and they are proud of Qin Yuanqing.

For most Chinese people, they either witnessed Qin Yuanqing's rise and watched Qin Yuanqing achieve great success; or they were the same age as Qin Yuanqing, and they were constantly whipped by their elders with Qin Yuanqing as a whip; or they were younger than Qin Yuanqing. , regard Qin Yuanqing as an idol and role model, constantly struggle and work hard, and take what Qin Yuanqing said to defeat public intellectuals.

Now that Qin Yuanqing won the Chern Award again, it undoubtedly ignited their sense of pride.Although this was not obtained by themselves, it was obtained by Qin Yuanqing, which made them share the honor.

The sensation caused by Qin Yuanqing's winning of the Chern Award was far greater than that of Liu Xuan's winning of the Fields Award.

After all, China does not lack the Fields Medal. Qin Yuanqing alone won the Fields Medal three times in a row, and Qin Yuanqing even won the Fields Medal for one time.

The applause gradually subsided, and with the end of the awards ceremony, the opening ceremony also came to an end.

Next came the art troupe, which brought unique Chinese cultural performances to participants from all over the world.

As a very bright civilization, China has a civilization that has never been broken for more than 5000 years, and China has been the leader for quite a long time during these 5000 years, and it is a powerful mess.

Although a hundred years of humiliation almost caused China to perish.However, with the establishment of the New China Republic, China has rapidly developed and grown, and now it has once again radiated bright light in the world. This kind of light has made it impossible to ignore even the most remote corners of the world.

Naturally, the Chinese cultural performance with unique charm exudes a very unique light, allowing mathematicians from all over the world to feel the thickness and beauty of that culture.

Qin Yuanqing watched it with gusto, and at the same time he was extremely proud. To be honest, Qin Yuanqing didn't like the Westernized art performances in the past.After entering 2010, more and more art with Chinese characteristics have become more vital and attractive, whether it is the blue and white porcelain dance, the colorful Luoshen underwater flying dance, or the Dunhuang flying dance, Tang Palace banquet, Only the green and so on can make people feel the cultural beauty integrated into the bones of China.

After the cultural performance, the leaders of the International Union of Mathematicians announced the end of the opening ceremony.

Most of the attendees left happily.

Some volunteers began to guide the mathematicians to the restaurant for lunch. Huaxia always pays attention to hospitality, and everything is well arranged. In fact, the mathematicians who come to the conference only need to pay for round-trip air tickets. The accommodation expenses and the meal expenses in the restaurant are properly arranged by Shanghai Metropolis, and mathematicians will never be allowed to pay for hotels and meals when they come to the conference.

This is the cultural difference!
For Huaxia, these are guests from afar, and they have to pay for them to live at home and pay for their meals.

Qin Yuanqing left his seat and was about to leave the venue. When he went to the restaurant to have lunch, he was soon surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

The reporter from Yangma, who was the first to ask questions, saw that this was a young and beautiful lady with a bright smile on her face. She asked politely: "Hello, Academician Qin, congratulations on your winning the Chern Award. It is the first time that a Chinese mathematician has won this award, how do you feel at this moment?"

"It's okay!" Qin Yuanqing said calmly.

Although it was unexpected for Qin Yuanqing to win the Chern Award, it will definitely not fail to make Qin Yuanqing happy. After all, he has won awards with higher gold content. Given his status in the academic world, he no longer needs any awards to set off his greatness.

For example, the Nobel Prize that Huaxia dreamed of and talked about in the past, the founder Nobel is a great chemist, but even if any professional magazine in the world ranks the list of scientists, Qin Yuanqing will be at the top, and Nobel Can't even get into the top 20.

This is the chain of contempt that exists in academia. Mathematicians and physicists always look down on great scholars in other disciplines, because without mathematics and physics, other disciplines will not be able to develop. They are all castles built on sand, which is unbearable. one strike.
