Chapter 637: Chapter 196: The Opening Ceremony’s Award Ceremony (Part 2)_3
Their task is to discuss this grand event in the field of mathematics with the host.
The previous comntary had been lukewarm…
Simply explaining to the audience why the awardees won and what contributions their research made to the field of mathematics.
When Qiao Yu’s turn ca, the two finally began to feel it.
“I had a colleague search it up earlier, and Qiao Yu is the third Chinese mathematician in history to win the Fields dal, right?”
“That’s right, the first was Elder Yuan, who just hugged Qiao Yu, and the second was Tao Zhixuan. But I must emphasize that Qiao Yu is the first Chinese mathematician.” Huaqing’s Professor responded first.
“I’d like to add sothing. It’s not just about being a Chinese mathematician; as we all know, Qiao Yu is also a student in the Talent Class at the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University, and he hasn’t even graduated yet.
So what I want to say is that Qiao Yu is not only the first Huaxia mathematician to receive this honor, but also one entirely nurtured by our Huaxia education system, having never studied abroad!
This shows that the developnt of mathematics in Huaxia is advancing firmly from a large country in mathematics to a strong one, as Elder Yuan hoped! We’re reclaiming the fifty lost years!”
Professor Huaqing glanced at the Yanbei Professor beside him, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing…
It had been agreed it was a joint effort, so what’s the deal with emphasizing that Qiao Yu is a student at Yanbei University on TV?!
Aren’t you aware of what was cultivated? Did Qiao Yu attend any classes?
Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that today’s program was being broadcast nationwide, he would’ve exposed Yanbei University’s professor on the spot for his nonsense.
Of course, the dispute still needs to be had.
“Professor Xu is right, but I also want to add that Qiao Yu has actually collaborated deeply with many professors at Huaqing, just like what was ntioned during the introduction of Qiao Yu’s achievents.
Years ago, when Qiao Yu first made a na for himself in the international mathematics community, it was through collaboration with Professor Pan from our Yuan Zhengxin Mathematics Research Center, proving the Geotric Langlands Conjecture…”
…
In the video, the two professors were subtly debating the role of their respective universities in nurturing Qiao Yu. However, the reactions in the live stream chat were much more uniform.
In fact, since Qiao Yu announced on the pre-publication website that he’d solved the Riemann Conjecture, the related publicity hadn’t stopped.
Although things cooled down during the two months when the review panel vetted the paper, interest in whether Qiao Yu would win the Fields dal this year remained high after the final results were posted on Princeton’s official website.
The officials naturally didn’t disclose it.
But when the Central dia suddenly announced they would broadcast the World Mathematicians’ Conference opening ceremony live, the answer was almost explicitly confird.
After all, if Qiao Yu wins, it would be the first ti a bona fide Huaxia mathematician receives this global award, breaking several firsts.
Whether it’s the significance of the Riemann Conjecture for the mathematics community or its aning for boosting national confidence in Huaxia, it’s all there on the table.
So quite a few people took the ti to watch the live stream online, even though it was Monday, and they had work the next day.
Not to ntion many students nationwide received notifications from their horoom teachers, requiring them to stay ho to watch the opening ceremony, especially students from Star City.
Therefore, the barrage of comnts was naturally very lively, with “aweso” and “congratulations” being the most common expressions.
But there were plenty of longer comnts too.
“I would call Qiao Yu a god! It feels like a kid standing among a bunch of adults!”
“Qiao Yu is amazing! Only seventeen! How did those people have the nerve to deliver acceptance speeches just now?”
“It’s said that praying to the god of learning ensures you won’t fail exams; I’ll be praying to you from now on, God Qiao!”
“The background music should be ‘Youth Huaxia’ right now!”
“Huaxia is aweso! Yanbei is aweso! As for Huaqing, you guys should just practice martial arts, stop riding the coattails!”
“A seventeen-year-old Fields dal winner! Soone slap , I actually doubt I’m dreaming while watching this live!”
“Otherwise! Regardless of age, if solving the Riemann Conjecture doesn’t earn them a Fields dal, which mathematician would care about this lousy award in the future?”
“Guys, there aren’t many unsolved world math problems left for you! Keep at it!”
Among the countless passionate comnts, so strange things popped up as well.
“Everyone, is anyone interested in pre-ordering the manuscript of Qiao Yu’s proof of the Riemann Conjecture? Guaranteed authentic! Real-na verification possible! ssage if interested, price negotiable!”
…
Besides the bullet screen, major Huaxia websites, forums, short video platforms, and social dia also quickly beca dominated by the Fields dal…
The Central dia News pushed a single piece of news to the top of every search engine.
“Breaking News: Seventeen-year-old Huaxia mathematician Qiao Yu receives the 2026 Fields dal, breaking the record for the youngest recipient, and is reportedly the first Huaxia mathematician to receive the honor.”
Although this “breaking news” is open to discussion.
But for many ordinary people, it’s not an overstatent.
After all, before the conference, all award recipients were kept a tight secret. Even if the awardees were notified beforehand, they had to sign an electronic non-disclosure agreent and couldn’t leak the information.
All those who confidently claid Qiao Yu would definitely win before the official announcent were only speculating.
As for Central dia’s unexpected live broadcast of the opening ceremony, it’s not that they got the news early. It’s just that since Qiao Yu’s paper proving the Riemann Conjecture was acknowledged before the conference began, the chances were quite high.
