From top stream to scholar

Go out for a stroll every day, and then go back to the hotel to prepare for academic lectures.Before we knew it, it was the day of the awards ceremony.It is said that in the concert hall in Stockholm, there will be a grand ceremony as grand as the Nobel Prize. Yu Wanzhou is quite curious.The Crawford Award was almost established to fill the regret that the Nobel Prize did not have. Including mathematics, there are several awards in mathematics, earth science, astronomy and biological science.

It is awarded once a year to scientists who have made outstanding contributions in these disciplines.

Yu Wanzhou put on a suit, and it looked like this.Although his face still looked a little immature, it was not the first time he had appeared on such a serious occasion.He has been through it many times, and he is still quite indifferent.

Before coming to the concert hall, take out the invitation letter.Under the surprised eyes of Anbao, Yu Wanzhou entered the concert hall.

The entire concert hall was decorated extremely solemnly, and Yu Wanzhou found her seat and sat down.

The person next to him smiled and nodded at him slightly, "Yu?"

"Hello." Yu Wanzhou was recognized, which is really not surprising.The East Asian faces who are able to enter the concert hall at such a young age seem to be similar to children.Except for Yu Wanzhou, who is famous in the mathematics world, there is no other person at all.

There are a lot of geniuses, but this is the first time I have seen a genius mathematician like Yu Wanzhou who won the Fields Medal and then the Craford Mathematics Medal.One of the most talented mathematicians since at least the twentieth century.

"Hello." Yu Wanzhou responded with a smile and sat in her seat.Taking a deep breath, the person next to him smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, are you nervous?"

"A little."

"I heard that this is your first time in Stockholm."

"That's right, I've only been to Madrid before." Yu Wanzhou recalled, "It was two years ago."

"Oh, then you can stay in Sweden a little longer, I think you'll like it here."

"Thank you." Yu Wanzhou nodded with a smile, "It's a great place with many wonderful experiences."

"Perhaps, you can come to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences once after receiving the Crafford Prize."

"Oh, that's really great. To be honest, I'm very curious about the Royal Academy of Sciences. As far as I know, the Royal Academy of Sciences is also doing the review of the Nobel Prize."

"Maybe, you may win the physics prize sometime." There seems to be nothing wrong with mathematicians winning the physics prize. "At least, I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you." Yu Wanzhou smiled.

I was chatting with the person in front of me who seemed to be the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. After a while, Professor Witten came over, greeted Yu Wanzhou and said, "Yu, how are you doing?"

"Yes, I always want to go back to Princeton University to discuss theoretical physics with Professor Witten when I stay at home."

"Really?" Professor Witten said with a smile after sitting down, "I see, you seem to want to continue to argue with me in class?"

Yu Wanzhou smiled, but said nothing.After sitting down, academicians of the Swedish Academy of Sciences held a grand award ceremony.

"Professor Witten." Yu Wanzhou said relaxedly, "I remember you also won the Crawford Award."

"That's right, just a few years ago." Wei Teng nodded slightly. He did win the Astrophysical Prize.When the academician announced with a serious face, "The scholar who won the Crawford Award is Yu Wanzhou, a professor from the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The content of the award is the proof of Hodge's conjecture." Yu Wanzhou stood up and adjusted her clothes. He went forward, got the trophy, and said thank you to the academician.

The process of receiving the medal is very solemn, Yu Wanzhou held her breath and tried to think about it.This is the Crawford Prize in Mathematics, not the Nobel Prize.The Nobel Prize is awarded by the King of Sweden himself, and the degree of grandeur and grandeur is unmatched by the Craford Prize.It would be great if I could get a Nobel Prize in Science in the future, Yu Wanzhou thought silently in her heart.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yu."

"Sir, thank you!" Yu Wanzhou thanked the academician who presented the award, and took the medal in his hand.

"Later, there will be a dinner at the city hall. Mr. Yu, as one of the winners, you must come and participate."

"I will." Yu Wanzhou nodded, he will definitely attend.After all, I haven't finished my meal yet. No matter what, the dinner at the banquet must be very good, so why not eat it.

After the two parties shook hands and took pictures, Yu Wanzhou briskly returned to his seat.Professor Witten said with a smile, "Congratulations, Yu."

"Thank you, Professor Witten."

"I have heard that Sir Atia of England would very much like to see you."

"Really?" Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Okay. I went to England outside of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics."

Next is the awarding of other awards until all awards are given out.After leaving the concert hall, many media are still waiting to interview the winners.Yu Wanzhou is one of the winners, and has won the Fields Medal in Mathematics before, so he is naturally the focus of the media.As soon as he left the Stockholm Concert Hall, countless microphones hit Yu Wanzhou's face directly. This kind of scene has happened many times.But most of the time in the past, it was domestic media.Almost all interviews like this are from foreign media, which is really a minority.

"Mr. Yu." The foreign reporter asked in fluent English, "What do you think of your winning the Crawford Award?"

"It's wonderful." Yu Wanzhou said happily, "I really didn't expect that the winner of this year's Crawford Award would be me."

"So, what are your plans for the future? Have you considered the Abel Prize, and won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics?"

"Of course I have considered it, but whether I can win the award depends not on me, but on the judges."

"So do you have any opinions or guesses on whether you will be able to win the Turing Award next year?"

"No." Yu Wanzhou shook her head and said, "A, M, the Turing Award is the highest award in computer science and is known as the Nobel Prize of computer science. Naturally, I can't predict whether I will get an A next year. M, the Turing Award, not to mention my research center, actually has little to do with the AM Turing Award. The only intersection is just an NP-complete problem."

"Then, have you ever thought about making achievements in theoretical physics? Your advisor is Professor Edward Witten, a very famous theoretical physicist. Have you ever thought that you may develop in theoretical physics in the future? ?”

"Of course." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Perhaps, within a few years, you will find that I have indeed made some achievements in theoretical physics."

Almost all the media revolves around Yu Wanzhou, even international superstars.

Yu Wanzhou's answer satisfied all the media. After interviewing Yu Wanzhou, everyone surrounded the remaining award winners contentedly, and started a new round of questions.

Watching the group of reporters leave, Yu Wanzhou shook her head and was about to go to the City Hall in Stockholm.At this time, the CCTV reporter who had been squeezed outside by other reporters walked slowly, "Professor Yu, can I call you that?"

"No problem." Yu Wanzhou nodded, "Do you have anything to do?"

"Congratulations on your Crawford Prize in Mathematics."

"Thank you, who are you?"

"A reporter from CCTV."

"Oh." Yu Wanzhou nodded calmly, "Do you want an interview?"

"is it okay?"

"Yes, but hurry up, I'm going to the Stockholm City Hall to attend the dinner." Yu Wanzhou said jokingly, "The main reason is that I didn't eat at the awards ceremony, and I'm a little hungry now."

"It won't delay you for too long." The reporters all laughed. Yu Wanzhou was probably the first scientist she interviewed in her career who was so impatient to eat.

"Then let's start now." Yu Wanzhou was not pretentious, straightened her clothes and said, "The interview is ready."

"Professor Yu, how do you feel about receiving this award?"

"To be honest, it's not a big deal." Yu Wanzhou said calmly, "I learned that I won the Craford Award in the Chinese New Year. Although the award was awarded in September, the news was actually known a few months ago. of."

"Of course, I was quite surprised when I received a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. I thought they were engaging in phone scams." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Because my brother and brother-in-law are both related to the police, so I'm sorry It's a little sensitive."

"However, the feeling is a little different when you actually go to the Stockholm Concert Hall to receive the reward."

"Are you excited?"

"I'm a little excited." Yu Wanzhou nodded, "But it's not because I won the Craford Award. When I received the award, I kept thinking about a question."

"Oh?" The CCTV reporter asked, "What was your thought at the time?"

"Can I come to the concert hall in Stockholm again." Yu Wanzhou paused.

The reporter thought for a while, "You have already won the Crawford Award, so do you want to win it again?" She was really a little puzzled, does Yu Wanzhou still want to win the Crawford Prize in Mathematics again?

"No." Yu Wanzhou shook her head and said calmly, "I mean, if possible, I would like to win the Nobel Prize in Science."

"..." The reporter gasped, taking a big breath, wanting to win the Nobel Prize in Science.If it was someone else, I'm afraid they would have been scolded as a child with a yellow mouth, but if you think about it, it's really possible for a strange evildoer like Yu Wanzhou?

But if this paragraph is released, I am afraid it will also cause a lot of disputes.

"I've been working on theoretical physics recently, and if possible, I might sprint for the Nobel Prize in Physics." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "If I can get it, it will be a very wonderful thing." .”

"I wish you all the best, Professor Yu."

"Thank you."

"So what do you think of the Crawford Prize in Mathematics? I mean, what do you think of your own winning of the medal."

"Barely." Yu Wanzhou blurted out directly, and then seemed to realize something, and said to the reporter, "Where is this broadcast?"

The reporter burst out laughing with a 'puchi'.
