In the long history of China, our scientific and technological culture also shines with great light. Laymen think that we are only more developed in literature and art, but we all know that physics, astronomy, agriculture, and mathematics in ancient times on the mainland have unique achievements. For example, Zu Chongzhi calculated that the pi he had come up with was less than one in eight hundred millionths of a hundred millionths compared to modern precision pi, and his record was broken a thousand years later.
In modern times, there is also an outstanding mathematician on the mainland, and his achievements are by no means below Hua Luogeng. He is the mathematician Lu Jiaxi. He started a family at the age of 37, but at the age of 48 he was trapped in his bedside, and his research results were only valued after death.
Lu Jiaxi's bumpy life
Lu Jiaxi was born in Shanghai in 1935 to a low-income family, his father was an authentic laborer. The family's livelihood depended almost entirely on the money his father earned from selling soy sauce and vinegar in the streets.
Dry this industry, more investment, less returns, once encountered rain and snow weather, almost no one will come out to buy soy sauce. If you are sick or have something at home that can't get out of the stall, almost the whole family will go hungry on this day. In this family environment, Lu Jiaxi grew up smoothly, because other brothers and sisters died prematurely, so his parents loved Lu Jiaxi even more, reluctant to let him suffer a little grievance, but also attached great importance to his studies.
Even though his family was struggling, his parents struggled to save money to send him to school. And Xiao Lu Jiaxi is also very sensible, he understands that it is not easy for his parents to provide for his own schooling, so he seized the opportunity, studied hard, and achieved good results. His father suddenly fell seriously ill and died suddenly.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to the already sad family. At this time, Lu Jiaxi was in junior high school, and the death of his father gave him a big blow, and he even wanted to drop out of school at one point, hoping to use his own labor to supplement the family.
But his idea was opposed by his mother. His mother, Li Yuexian, was an authentic housewife. After Lu Jiaxi's father died, her mother began to do some odd jobs, such as delivering milk, helping others wash clothes, and doing her best to help Lu Jiaxi finish junior high school. But after all, his mother's strength alone was limited, and as she grew older, she no longer had the ability to continue to provide him with education, so Lu Jiaxi had to drop out of school and start looking for a job.
During the period of his work, Lu Jiaxi became more and more aware that only knowledge can change his fate as a child like him, so he worked while teaching himself, and finally the kung fu paid off, he was admitted to the training class of mechanical and electrical majors, and graduated with excellent results. After graduation, he was successfully assigned to work in Harbin Electric Machinery Factory. It is precisely because of this that he has formed an indissoluble relationship with mathematics.
Associated with mathematics
Lu Jiaxi worked in the Harbin Mechanical Power Plant for five years, during which he not only completed all the courses in the high school, but also learned English, Japanese and other foreign languages, and also cultivated many hobbies, interpreting the phrase "knowledge changes fate" with his own hard work and strength. Just when Lu Jiaxi finished these coursework and went to the bookstore to choose a book to read, he found a book that caught his eye, "Interesting Introduction to Mathematical Methods".
It was this book that changed the direction of his life. Some of the mathematical problems in this book are very interesting, and after reading the book very intently, he decided to start learning mathematics. If you want to concentrate on your studies every day, there is only one way to go, that is, to go to school. So Lu Jiaxi resolutely gave up his current job and was admitted to Jilin Normal University.
This move attracted the strange eyes of the people around him. The friends around him were also very puzzled by his move - they all already had stable jobs, and the next step should be to form a family and pass on the generations, so why should they go to university to study when they are nearly thirty years old? However, Lu Jiaxi ignored the persuasion of others, ignored the worldly gaze, and devoted himself to his studies.
Four years later, Lu Jiaxi graduated from the university with honors and successfully became a teacher's assistant. Later, he experienced frequent job transfers, sometimes working in the Education Bureau, sometimes teaching in junior high schools, but no matter how he moved, he did not stop studying mathematics. And his salary, except for basic daily necessities, was all spent on mathematical research. He himself ate only clear soup and watery food, wore worn-out clothes, and was very poor.
There are also some people who introduce him to several girlfriends, but they are all rejected by Lu Jiaxi, because his current strength is not enough to support a family. It wasn't until he was 37 years old that he decided to start a family.
"Not confused" year choose to get married
When he was 37 years old, his good friend introduced him to a woman, Lu Jiaxi did not want to agree, but this woman had a rough life, and also took two children, Lu Jiaxi saw that they were really pitiful, and said that if the other party did not dislike, he could marry and take care of each other. Unexpectedly, after the two were together, life was very harmonious. The two have a lot of common topics, and their cognition and views of the world are also very clear, it can be said that the two are not only partners in life, but also confidants in the heart.
After getting married, the two soon had their own children and their lives became extremely happy. And at this time, Lu Jiaxi's career also began to develop by leaps and bounds, and several papers he published successively had great fluctuations in the international community, and gradually, his fame also increased. Some mathematical research societies at home and abroad will also invite him to attend.
But everything is good and bad, and the sudden fame has made Lu Jiaxi work harder and harder to do research, while his physical condition has taken a sharp turn. Just when Lu Jiaxi returned home after attending a mathematical research meeting again, he felt very tired and fell into a deep sleep. And this sleep ended his life of ups and downs.
epilogue
Lu Jiaxi's death is deeply regrettable, and a superstar in mathematics has fallen. And this incident should also give us inspiration: we need to do our best to protect these people on the front lines of scientific research, because they contribute to our culture and technology!
