Weightlifter Chen Jingkai broke the world record for the first time. The impressionist painter Paul Gauguin was born. Turing, the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, died.
1. Weightlifter Chen Jingkai broke the world record for the first time.
On June 7, 1956, at the Sino-Soviet Friendly Weightlifting Competition held in Shanghai, Chen Jingkai lifted 133 kilograms.
He broke the world record held by American athletes for the lightest weight jerk of 132.5 kilograms, becoming the first Chinese athlete to break the world record.
Throughout his sports career, Chen Jingkai has written one legend after another: he has broken nine world weightlifting records; In 1956~1964, in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Taiyuan, Moscow, Leipzig and other major weightlifting competitions at home and abroad, he broke the lightweight and second lightweight world records nine times.
Chen Jingkai has successively served as a coach of the weightlifting team, former chairman of the Chinese Weightlifting Association, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Commission, and a representative of the National People's Congress.
Rarely, thanks to his guidance and inspiration, his brother Chen Manlin and his nephew Chen Weiqiang both won weightlifting championships and broke world records. Among the 28 weightlifting world records in China, Chen's uncle and nephew set 16, and Dongguan Shilong's "one door and three masters" has become a good story spread all over the world.
2. The impressionist painter Paul Gauguin was born.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a French post-impressionist painter and sculptor whose works include Where Do We Come From? Who are we? Where are we going? "Yellow Christ", "Wandering Souls", "Worship of God" and so on.

Born in Paris, France, Paul Gauguin worked as a seafarer as a young man before becoming a stockbroker.
In 1873, Gauguin began to study painting and in 1883 became a professional painter, participating in four consecutive exhibitions of the Impressionist School. In 1886, Gauguin left Paris to paint in the small town of Puntavan in Brittany.
In 1889, he created "The Yellow Christ". After 1890, Gauguin became increasingly tired of civilized society and bent on desertion, and Tahiti in the Pacific became his destination.
In 1894, he created "The Day of Worship". In 1897, he created Where Do We Come From? Who are we? Where are we going? 》。 In 1901, he left Tahiti for the Marquesas Islands. He died in 1903.
Paul Gauguin, together with Vincent van Gogh and Cézanne, is known as the three great masters of Post-Impressionism.
3, the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence, Turing, died.
Turing, the scientist who contributed the most to the world, suffered the greatest grievances and was not rehabilitated until recent years. Hats off to him!
Alan Mactheson Turing (June 23, 1912 ~ June 7, 1954), British mathematician and logician, known as the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence.
In 1931, Turing entered King's College Cambridge, after graduation, he went to Princeton University in the United States to pursue a doctorate, returned to Cambridge after the outbreak of World War II, and later assisted the military in cracking the famous German cryptosystem Enigma, helping the Allies win World War II.
In 1952, the British government convicted Turing for his homosexual orientation, and Turing was subsequently subjected to chemical castration (estrogen injection).
On June 7, 1954, Turing died of poisoning from eating apples containing cyanide at the age of 42.
On December 24, 2013, at the request of British Justice Secretary Chris Greyling, Queen Elizabeth II granted a royal pardon to Turing.
Turing has made many contributions to the development of artificial intelligence, and proposed an experimental method for determining whether a machine is intelligent, the Turing test, which has an experimental competition every year.
In addition, the famous Turing machine model proposed by Turing laid the foundation for the way the logic of modern computers works.
In 2009, British computer scientist Cumming launched an online petition to rehabilitate Turing, and as of September 10, 2009, the number of petition signatures had exceeded 30,000, for which the then British government and Prime Minister Gordon Brown had to issue a formal apology.
In December 2012, 11 important people, including Hawking, Paul Nurse (Nobel Prize winner in medicine), and Martin Rees (president of the Royal Society), sent a letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron demanding his rehabilitation.
On December 24, 2013, at the request of British Justice Secretary Chris Grayling, the Queen finally granted a royal pardon to Turing.
The British Attorney General announced that "Turing's later life was cast a shadow because of his same-sex orientation, and they believed that the sentence was unfair, and this discrimination has now been abolished." For this reason, the Queen decided to pay tribute to this great man by sending him a pardon. ”
