Speaking of which, Chinese academic circles have never been accurate in their own language estimates.

In 2005, there was a post on the Tianya Forum predicting that China's total GDP would surpass Japan's in 2030. At that time, China's total GDP would be 1.65 trillion U.S. dollars, while Japan's total GDP would be 5.95 trillion U.S. dollars, a three-fold difference!

As a result, this post was ridiculed by a group of people studying economics, and then there was a long argument from economics students that China's total GDP will not exceed Japan's in a few decades.

But it has only been four years, and China's total GDP will surpass Japan's and become the world's second largest economy, which is just around the corner.

So much so that more than ten years later, some netizens couldn’t help but sigh:

In 1919, believing that China could rise required backbone.

In 1937, it took courage to believe that China could rise.

In 1979, believing that China could rise required vision.

In 2020, I believe that China can rise and only need basic IQ.

In fact, since the reform and opening up 30 years ago, there are very few scholars who believe that China can rise, which shows a lack of vision. And even in 2020, there is still a group of people who do not believe that China can rise. They lack basic IQ.

Liu Yichen has always been dismissive of the words of these people.

After deciding the topic and direction of the paper for Feng Lin, it was Feng Lin's task to check the information and write the paper. Liu Yichen was responsible for the final proofreading. Anyway, he always asked Feng Lin to write the paper for this kind of paper, which was specially designed for

Feng Lin wrote her thesis.

With the first paper in front of her, Feng Lin also had a little experience in writing papers. Liu Yichen was reading those professional mathematics books and journals in the library, while Feng Lin was looking up the information needed for the paper.

Time has slowly entered April, which is a bit unusual for the mathematics community, because the 2008 Ramanujan Award is about to be held.

The Ramanujan Award is named after the talented Indian mathematician Ramanujan. It is jointly awarded by the International Center for Theoretical Physics, the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology and the International Mathematical Union. It is awarded annually to those who have made outstanding achievements under the age of 45 on December 31 of that year.

Young mathematicians from developing countries working in scientific research.

Winners of the Ramanujan Prize meet two conditions: first, they are under 45 years old, and second, they are young mathematicians from developing countries.

The Ramanujan Award is relatively important in the world of mathematics. Although the International Center for Theoretical Physics has nothing to do with a mathematics award, the third brother has done this kind of thing not once or twice, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Fortunately, the award committee for this award is composed of members of the International Mathematical Union, making this mathematics award quite authoritative.

As for the bonus, it is only a mere US$15,000.

Speaking of which, mathematics awards are quite interesting, and the bonuses are very low. The Ramanu Gold Medal has a bonus of 15,000 US dollars, and the Fields Medal, known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, only has a bonus of 15,000 Canadian dollars.

For this Ramanujan Award, the nomination and selection work was jointly carried out by the ICTP Institute of Mathematics, IMU, and the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology. After preliminary selection and review, three mathematicians including Liu Yichen entered the final pk stage, and the other two mathematicians came from Russia.

and Brazil.

The Russian mathematics community is indeed full of talented people. Even though it went through the dark years of the 1990s, which greatly damaged its vitality and suffered a huge loss of talent, it is still rich in mathematicians, not just young mathematicians like this imo.

The competition stage also includes international mathematics awards that are active around the world.

Even if some countries use other forces to interfere with the awarding of mathematics awards, Russian mathematicians still win mathematics awards one after another, because if they are not awarded to them, the mathematics awards will have no authority at all, which will undoubtedly affect the mathematics major.

The award is the biggest crushing blow.

Now Liu Yichen's understanding of the history of mathematics is no longer what he had in high school. He can only describe the glory of Russian mathematics history as admiration.

In the 20th century, that land was not only the birthplace of industrial miracles, aerospace miracles, warship miracles, missile miracles, and heavy industry miracles, but also its dazzling mathematical miracles, and a number of outstanding mathematicians emerged.

For example, Fehching Goertz, the author of "Tutorial on Calculus", his "Tutorial on Calculus" can be called the pinnacle of classical calculus. And Fehching Goertz is a scholar of the Leningrad School of Real Variable Function Theory.

The founder of Mathematics, his series of work on function measurement theory made him a top mathematician in this field.

For example, Gromov is known as a low-key mathematical master and a giant of contemporary geometry. He is almost synonymous with contemporary symplectic geometry and has absolute authority.

As for Perelman, who is considered by many students to be the representative figure of mathematics, he is also a Russian mathematician. He did not even bother to receive the Fields Medal and refused to receive all kinds of bonuses.

The Russian mathematics community is super powerful, but its presence among ordinary people is not strong. This is not because the Russian mathematics community is not strong, but just because of interference from some forces outside the mathematics community.

As for the Brazilian mathematics community, it is much inferior in comparison, but they have adopted different measures from China. China develops in a distributed manner, while Brazilian mathematics develops in a centralized manner. The mathematics level of its National Institute of Mathematics is quite famous.

On the same day, after rigorous review, the selection committee finally awarded the award to Liu Yichen in recognition of his outstanding contributions in the field of number theory. The award also commended Liu Yichen for his important contributions in promoting the development of the field of number theory in China.

"Young man, congratulations on winning the Ramanu Gold Award. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and don't stop here." Liu Yichen felt excited after hearing the words of the award-winning guest.

Because the guest of honor this time is none other than Andrew Wiles, who proved 'Fermat's Last Theorem'. He is now a banner figure in the British mathematics community and the world's top mathematician. He completed 'Fermat's Last Theorem'.

The impact of the "Last Theorem" building's capping work on mathematics is definitely one of the most outstanding mathematical achievements in the history of mathematics in the 20th century.

If not for the birth of too many dazzling mathematical stars in the mathematics world in the 20th century, Wiles would definitely be among the top ten greatest mathematicians of the 20th century.

"Professor Wiles, nice to meet you!" Liu Yichen said. Such a big shot is not something you can meet casually.

Liu Yichen won the Ramanu Gold Award and became the youngest winner in the history of the Ramanu Gold Award.

News reports about Liu Yichen winning the Ramanu Gold Award came out soon.

"Chinese mathematician Liu Yichen won the Ramanujan Gold Medal, the mathematics award. This is the first Chinese mathematician to win the Ramanujan Gold Medal!" The news came out first, but it was Yangma's news, which appeared in the international news for a short minute.

, the news host made a special introduction, and Liu Yichen's picture appeared in the news.

This is the first mathematics award that Liu Yichen has won, and it is also the first international mathematics award. Although he is not the most important mathematics award among Chinese people, he is the first to win the Ramanujan Award.

This meaning is not ordinary.

After winning the Ramanujan Gold Award, Liu Yichen accepted an interview with a very important domestic media.

"Hello, congratulations on winning the Ramanu Gold Award. You have left the footprints of us Chinese people on the Ramanu Gold Award." The beautiful reporter first congratulated Liu Yichen on winning the Ramanu Gold Award: "I majored in news media.

Mathematics research, mathematicians, are really ignorant. I just vaguely feel that the profession of mathematicians is very prestigious... (laughing)"

"You are so young. I mainly want to know how you grew up to be a mathematician? As far as I know, you have extraordinary talent in computer Internet. Why did you choose to become a mathematician instead of becoming a computer Internet expert?

Now the Internet is a place for making wealth, and a large number of rich people emerge every year."

"Thank you for your congratulations." Liu Yichen smiled lightly and said: "First of all, I need to correct a misunderstanding. Although I still believe that mathematics is a high-level subject, the profession of mathematician does not mean that it is high-level."

"Secondly, the development of the computer Internet is inseparable from mathematics. From the perspective of mathematics, the computer Internet is just the application of mathematics. To be honest, I opened an Internet technology company in Zhongguancun called Huaxia Dahan Technology Co., Ltd. Now

The development is pretty good. It seems that there are almost a hundred employees now." Liu Yichen smiled and said: "But I don't like to open a company and be the boss. There are too many things to do in the development of a company, and I don't like these.

So to be honest, I rarely go to the company, maybe once a week or two weeks. This company adopts a professional manager model, and I don’t need to worry about him. I only go from this company once a month.

It’s just a salary of 10,000 yuan.”

"Studying mathematics can bring me a lot of fun. I think mathematics is very interesting. It is always full of perfection." Liu Yichen said with a smile.

"What you called a top student in the past has become a hot word on the Internet. What do you think of a top student? Do you think it is happy to be a top student?" the beautiful reporter asked.

"Happy? No, no, no, being a top student is both painful and happy. The hard work behind being a top student is unimaginable to ordinary people. People only see the glamorous appearance of me as a top student, but they don't know the hard work and sweat I put in.

." Liu Yichen said with emotion: "If possible, I really don't want to be a top student!"

Yes, being a top student is so hard and boring. He obviously owns a mansion, but in the end, he only uses it as a place to sleep all day long. He spends most of his time in the library. At Yanda, he is not talking to his counselor or

The first person I met was the course teacher, who was the administrator of the library.

Hearing Liu Yichen's words, the beautiful reporter showed surprise. She did not expect Liu Yichen to say such a thing.

But as a professional journalist who graduated from Communication University, she already had the image of a top student in her mind, hanging out in the library, being single, and behaving weirdly... Then she thought of those so-called top students when she was in college.

, isn’t it also because he works harder and is more serious than others, that’s why he is said to be a top student?
