Recently, Wei Dongyi has been very hot.
To what extent is the fire? As long as you mention mathematics, you must think of Wei Shen.
Portrait of Wei Dongyi
This is actually a good phenomenon, at least it is conducive to social development than blindly worshiping traffic stars. Only with scientific and technological progress can the country be strong.
But what many young people don't know now is that in the last century, There was also a mathematical genius like Wei Dongyi in China, and the two were extremely similar, both of whom were deeply accomplished in mathematics, but they were criticized in life.
He is Chen Jingrun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > a bit weird in life</h1>
Like Wei Shen, Mr. Chen Jingrun's mathematical research results are not as famous as the interesting things in his life.
After all, the things they study are nothing more than heavenly books for most people who can't understand high numbers.
You said that Chen Jingrun proved the "1 +2" in goldbach conjecture, and those people replied that 1 +2 is not equal to 3, which proves what the kindergarten children know.
Therefore, it is very necessary and urgent to resist pan-entertainment and improve scientific literacy.
Wei Shen became famous because someone filmed an interview video and posted it on a certain platform.
Wei Dongyi in the video, his hair is messy, like a chicken nest. The facial features are not beautiful, and they belong to people who have disappeared when they are buried in the pile. The ability to express is also extremely general, and a few words mean that there is nothing to say.
Wei Dongyi
What is even more hilarious is that he carries a bag of steamed buns and a large bottle of mineral water with him, paying no attention to his own image.
In contrast, he achieved great success in mathematics, and in his first year of high school, he won a perfect score in the International Mathematical Olympiad. He was admitted to Peking University and later became an assistant professor at Peking University. At the same time, he won the Green Orange Award and won the Million Dollar Award.
Academically, it shines brightly, but in life it is simple and dull. You have a million jackpot, and do you still run all day carrying steamed buns and mineral water bottles?
It seems to others to be a freak.
Wei Dongyi's fame can be described as stained with the light of the times, if it is not the popularity of short videos, it just so happens that someone sent it to the short video platform, he estimates that it is difficult to get out of the circle, at most only in the mathematical circle can be called Wei Shen.
And Chen Jingrun did not have such a developed technology at that time, how was he known to everyone?
Chen Jingrun stamps
tale.
At that time, many magazines, newspapers, and storybooks had Chen Jingrun's story. And they're all very interesting, so I'll just say one or two today.
It is said that one day Chen Jingrun went to play soy sauce (it was really to hit soy sauce, not the meaning of the Internet language to hit soy sauce), but on the way back, there was an accident.
He hit the pole and spilled soy sauce on the ground.
The funniest thing is that because Chen Jingrun is highly myopic, he did not see clearly that it was a telephone pole. After he hit it, he blamed it, asking why the pole stood in the middle of the road for no reason, waiting to hit it, and wouldn't he dodge?
When Chen Jingrun returned to his senses a little, he fixed his eyes on it, and it turned out to be a telephone pole, so he had to walk away sadly.
If the pole can talk, it also has something to say, I don't stand there, where do I stand?
I'm standing here, not sad or happy. I couldn't imagine that you could bump into my arms like this, impartially.
There is, of course, a reason for this.
On the way, Chen Jingrun suddenly thought of a mathematical problem in his mind, thus ignoring other things, causing this accident. His brain cells were colliding violently, and it was also causing his body and the telephone pole to collide violently.
In addition to this story, Chen Jingrun also has a story that has been widely circulated.
Bronze statue of Chen Jingrun
Chen Jingrun, because he usually studied academics, his hair was long and he didn't have time to cut it. Exaggeratedly, it seems to be three thousand feet.
This hair is too long, not only affects the image, but also is not very comfortable, not very convenient.
Therefore, Chen Jingrun made up his mind that he must get a haircut today.
Don't go to the barbershop don't know, go to a frightened. The good fellows, a room full of people, had to get a number and wait on a stool.
With this time, Chen Jingrun certainly would not be idle. He pulled out his little book and began to study mathematical problems again.
But even if Chen Jingrungui is a mathematician, there are still places that he can't understand, and he also needs to check the information.
He saw that the haircut was still early, so he thought of going to the library to check the materials first, and after understanding this problem, it was not too late to get a haircut.
Chen Jingrun got up and left, put the number plate in his pocket, and hurried toward the library. As soon as he saw the book, he was immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
When Chen Jingrun came out of the library and understood the problem, he found that the bucket had shifted from star to star, and the barber shop had closed.
He had to laugh bitterly and went back home to study the math problems.
These stories are vividly illustrated, and Chen Jingrun's image jumps on the paper, impressing the reader and remembering this somewhat strange mathematician. It also allowed him to successfully go out of the circle, and his fame was not limited to the mathematical circle.
Some people will ask, Wei Dongyi has not found a girlfriend until now. Chen Jingrun, who also looks a little strange, has he found a lifelong partner?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" >if you don't agree, then I won't get married</h1>."
Chen Jingrun has a wife, but the fate comes late.
At the age when others were in love, Chen Jingrun was studying mathematics. At the age of others with cubs, Chen Jingrun was still studying mathematics. At the age when others were holding their grandchildren, Chen Jingrun was still studying mathematics.
Everyone else was anxious for him, but Chen Jingrun himself was always unmoved, and he was still single in his forties.
It's not that no one looks at him.
At that time, with his paper "The Great Even Number Table is the Sum of a Prime Number and a Product of No More Than Two Primes" published at home and abroad, his status and reputation reached its peak in the domestic mathematical community.
There were a large number of little girls who wrote letters to Chen Jingrun, expressing their admiration one after another, but Chen Jingrun was indifferent. He doesn't seem to have much interest in women, only an endless passion for math.
Chen Jingrun's wife is Yu Kun
Until he saw her.
In 1977, Chen Jingrun was admitted to the 309 Hospital due to a serious illness.
His doctor on duty at the time was a young and beautiful little girl named Yukun. When Chen Jingrun saw her for the first time, he felt very kind.
Chen Jingrun usually has a dull expression and rarely talks to girls. But the only thing that I saw yukun, with a smile on her face, had endless words.
And Yu Kun knew that Chen Jingrun was a famous mathematician, and he did not hesitate to chat with him. Most of the girls have a Strong psychology, and of course they have a good feeling when they see the strong.
With the deepening of time, Chen Jingrun's feelings for Yukun became stronger and stronger, and after confirming that Yukun had no object, he finally boldly confessed to Yukun:
"If only we could be together every day."
In that era, Yu Kun was a little frightened, and for several days he ignored Chen Jingrun.
The mathematician is emotionally white, and he doesn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the organization discovered this problem, and under the matchmaking, Yu Kun met with Chen Jingrun again, and she asked him: "You are a famous mathematician, there are many people who admire you, why do you have feelings for me?" ”
Chen Jingrun did not answer this question head-on, but replied: "I have thought about it for a long time, if you do not agree, then I will not get married." ”
What Chen Jingrun thought was that I had been single for forty or fifty years anyway, and if I couldn't be with my beloved, it would be better to remain single like this.
Yu Kun was impressed by Chen Jingrun's determination and agreed to be his wife.
Chen Jingrun's family
Lifelong events are so difficult, but what about other things?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="74" > to have a thousand Chen Jingrun</h1>
Other things are also difficult.
Even after Mr. Chen Jingrun became famous all over the world, there is still controversy.
There are also a small number of people who hold the view that Chen Jingrun's achievements have been exaggerated by the media, especially after the publication of Xu Chi's reportage work "Goldbach Conjecture".
For example, mathematician Qiu Chengtong believes that the three most powerful Chinese mathematicians are Hua Luogeng, Chen Shengshen and Feng Kang, without Chen Jingrun.
But what many people don't know is that Hua Luogeng, who is most admired by Qiu Chengtong, once said: "In my student achievements, my most satisfactory is 1+2." ”
Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun
Moreover, when Chen Jingrun was lonely, he wrote a letter pointing out Hua Luogeng's mistakes.
After Hua Luogeng saw it, instead of being angry, he also had the wisdom to see the pearls and boldly promoted Chen Jingrun to the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a researcher.
If you want to say that Chen Jingrun can't do it, then doesn't that also mean that Hua Luogeng can't do it?
Moreover, his achievements are not only recognized by the domestic community, but also recognized by the international mathematical community, the British Haberstein and the German Richter (both famous mathematicians) chen Jingrun's argument is called "Chen's theorem", and this theorem has also been included in the number theory books of the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom.
That's the biggest affirmation.
Even Comrade Xiaoping praised it this way: "If China had a thousand Chen Jingrun, it would be amazing." ”
In addition, Mr. Chen Jingrun was already plagued by illness in the later stage. Isn't this spirit worth encouraging when he drags such a body and bones and works desperately?
I don't know what good it is for them to desperately denigrate Mr. Chen Jingrun's achievements.
The pure one purifies himself, the turbid one is self-turbid, there is no need to explain too much, and there is a heaven and earth as proof.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="91" > conclusion</h1>
It is with Mr. Chen Jingrun that many people know the Goldbach conjecture.
More and more talents are devoting themselves to mathematics, and they are determined to overcome this mathematical problem and strive to promote the progress of society.
It is also this social atmosphere that allows successors such as Wei Dongyi and other mathematical research to have the soil to grow.
I believe that in time, they will stand on the shoulders of giants and take us to appreciate more beautiful scenery.
