Many people do not realize that in the era of mobile Internet, as long as they have a smartphone, everyone has become an information node. This naturally includes professors from Huaqing and Yanbei.

Their original intention was just to share a hot photo with their colleagues, classmates and friends. Even before posting the picture or video, they didn’t think much about it. But the fact is that when a photo that is hot enough appears in a room that is more than two years old,

After people gather in groups, the fission-type Internet communication effect is inevitable.

Not to mention that it’s not just a group of two people. Many professors start a large group of dozens or even hundreds of people. They don’t just post one at a time, they just post in groups. Anyway, as long as the two bosses are not in the group, they can post.

After all, even mathematics professors at top universities in China are all ordinary people. Their emotions, anger, sorrows, and joys are almost the same as those of normal people, and their nature of eating melons is also similar. It’s just that everyone is usually interested in different things, and the way they eat melons is different.

Naturally it is different from the content.

So while Qiao Yu's lecture was in progress, photos of Yuan Zhengxin and Tian Yanzhen in the same frame began to flood many professors' circles of friends.

In Yanbei University, Xue Song had just put down a paper and opened WeChat on his mobile phone, intending to check the circle of friends to relax. As soon as he opened it, he saw a photo like this. Qiao Yu was standing next to Mr. Yuan, and on the other side was a person.

A foreign professor, Tian Yanzhen stood opposite Mr. Yuan.

Although Tian Yanzhen is just a side face from this angle in the photo, anyone who has seen Tian Yanzhen can easily recognize it. The other person's caption is: "This is another picture I have seen for a long time. I thought I would definitely see it in my lifetime."

I can’t see a scene like this anymore.”

Xue Song was a little distracted looking at the photo.

In fact, ever since Qiao Yu called Yuan Zhengxin without hesitation that day and said a bunch of nonsense, Xue Song had guessed that such a day would definitely come. But he really didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly and so suddenly.

So fast

He shook his head and continued to scroll through Moments. Soon more photos came out. There was even a video.

In the video, Qiao Yu and Mr. Yuan are standing in front of the big screen in the lecture hall, and Mr. Yuan is speaking. "...Everyone must know Qiao Yu. He is a rising star in the field of mathematics, and he is also a member of the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center."

Students jointly trained by our Huaqing Mathematical Sciences Research Center...

After listening to these words, Xue Song also understood the reason why Tian Yanzhen appeared at Qiao Yu's lecture at Huaqing University today. It was a joint training...

However, Xue Song feels that this is indeed excellent for Qiao Yu, which means that no matter which resources Qiao Yu uses in the future, both parties will not have much disagreement. Maybe Tian Yanzhen thinks the same way, right? Xue Song

I was thinking...

This point is actually very important.

After all, although the two mathematics centers were established by two leaders, it does not mean that the two bosses can completely ignore other people's ideas. At this stage, Qiao Yu does not use too many resources, and no one has any opinions.

.

But it will be hard to say in the future.

After all, Qiao Yu is a student at Yanbei University. Who would feel comfortable if he took away the resources from Huaqing University?

The world of mathematics does need geniuses, but if we grab the resources that may belong to us, everyone may have different ideas. If we take into account Mr. Yuan's age...

Xue Song could only sigh in his heart that the two bosses really thought deeply, and they were really worried about Qiao Yu. What he could think of, and what he couldn't think of, the two bosses thought of saying that they really gave up their grudges?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

It can only be said that the two of them chose the future at the same time.

After thinking about this, Xue Song was suddenly moved, and his eyes became wet unconsciously. The art of compromise in struggle is always so easy to make people excited. He believed that the two bosses did not tell Qiao Yu this. , but in a sense, both of them believed that Qiao Yu represented the future of Chinese mathematics.

I don't know if that kid realizes...

So Xue Song directly saved many different photos in the circle of friends to his mobile phone, and then directly came to a circle of friends...

"Today is Tuesday, April 8, 2025 AD, March 11 of the lunar calendar. I believe that this day will definitely be recorded in the history of Chinese mathematics, no matter what form it takes."

..

When Xue Song sent this news out, the news had already spread throughout China's universities, research institutes, and professor circles.

Shuangdan University in Linhai, Yujiang University in Xiaozhou, Jiangcheng University in Jiangcheng, Xingnan University in Xingcheng, Shenzhen University in Shenzhou, Harbin Institute of Technology in the north, Guada University in Xilin, and even the Frontier University in the far west...

Even the circle of academicians of the Academy of Sciences has begun to discuss this matter. Internal discussions are still very reserved, but it is different on the Internet.

Qiao Yu's lecture was just halfway through, and there were already a bunch of similar questions on Zhihu.

"Academician Tian Yanzhen made a historic appearance in the Century Lecture Hall of Huaqing University Library with Mr. Yuan. Does this mean that the master and apprentice, two leaders in mathematics, shook hands and reconciled after ten years of falling out? It is said that the two shook hands The opportunity for reconciliation was Qiao Yu who appeared in many photos. Is this true?"

There was no way, by this time the news had spread from the professor circle to the student circle.

Don’t underestimate the appeal of potential hot topics on Zhihu to young people. At least from the perspective of math students, this question is bound to be on the hot list, because their various group chats have been filled with discussions for a while. If you don’t watch it, it’s 99+.

Although not everyone knows about this, those who do know are constantly discussing the past events in the group. No matter what a group of people in the group are doing, they almost all come out to eat!

The most important thing is that this matter was very popular back then. It was not only the math circle that was taking advantage of it, but everyone was taking advantage of it.

Of course, it’s not just the questioner who thinks so. For the platform, for every issue that attracts a lot of attention or is likely to become a hot topic, there will naturally be staff who will follow it or even manually handle the issue’s popularity.

Of course, if you ask and there are none, it means they are all algorithms. At the juncture of slowly entering the intelligent era, algorithms and big data are not only productivity, but also artifacts for taking the blame.

Naturally, by the time Qiao Yu's lecture ended, the question about the century-old reconciliation between the two major figures in the Chinese mathematics world had already ranked among the top three on the popular list. Yes, the three questions were all about the two people this time. They appear in the same frame, but the photos quoted are different and the focus of the questions is different.

Among them, Qiao Yu also stole the limelight from the two big guys, accounting for one of them.

After all, there is only one student jointly trained by Yanbei and Huaqing Mathematics Research Centers for so many years. Not to mention that Qiao Yu is only sixteen years old, and he should be at the age to study in the elite class.

As we all know, the mathematics elite classes on both sides are run by the Academy of Mathematical Sciences and have little to do with the research center.

The two mathematics research centers of Yanbei and Huaqing started recruiting master's degree students and did not recruit undergraduate students at all.

So this little brother Qiao Yu, how can He Dehe win this honor? At his age, shouldn't he just follow the undergraduates and take classes with professors? So is there anything different about this guy?

Don’t say CMO is number one!

Every year there is a number one CMO, and there is never a shortage of candidates with perfect scores, but no one has been valued by the two major research centers for so many years. If there are questions, there will be answers.

It's just that the answers to this question are messy, and they include everything. But soon an answer was pushed up.

"Haha... I can only say that you have little knowledge. I can't believe that there are still people who doubt Qiao Yu's background. Let's put it this way, it is indeed possible for both parties to cultivate an awesome background at the same time, but please use your brains a little. , how awesome does it take to have two big guys show up at the same time to personally support him? Can't two professors be replaced?

The reason why it is Qiao Yu and not someone else is just two words, strength! If any of you can reach the age of sixteen, read a few books and read a few papers, and the paper you write will be recognized by Ann. Math is selected and will be published soon.

Students who don’t understand the components of Ann.Math can check it out. In addition, it only took him one month to find a loophole in the geometric Langlands conjecture proof that has become very popular in the mathematics world recently. This series of proofs includes Peter Schulz and many others. All the world’s top mathematicians have praised it.

Yes, the video you are watching is Qiao Yu sharing his thoughts and experiences on finding loopholes in the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture with mathematicians who are studying the geometric Langlands conjecture. Let alone sixteen years old, he is sixty-six years old No professor can do it either.

Believe me, if you can do any of the above things, you will be regarded as a treasure by the two big bosses, and they will even stand up for you personally. I know that conspiracy theorists will not believe anything they say. At the end of the article, I will give After reading a few of Qiao Yu's manuscripts, you will be qualified to comment on him only if you can understand them.

Don’t ask me why I know this, my office is just above his. As long as I pay attention, I can pay attention to his every move. To be honest, I was not angry, but the fact is that I am about to graduate with my PhD this year. His achievements are not even a fraction of Qiao Yu’s!

But is there any way? I can only say that there are two tracks in mathematics, one is for ordinary geniuses, and the other is for high-end geniuses to show off their skills. Do you know why I am confused? I just received too many blows at the research center.

, so I just come here to answer professional questions to gain some confidence.

Do you know why people like Qiao Yu most likely won’t become a new answerer in a place like Zhihu? Because he can easily find confidence from doctors like me, or even the professors around him!”

There are more than a dozen pictures placed under the answer, all of which are manuscript papers that Qiao Yuli usually uses for derivation and calculations. There are also various sketches on them that may seem messy to outsiders.

The draft naturally has its own logic, but as long as you can understand it, you don't need to use very strict wording so that others can understand it, so it looks like a pile of symbols to others.

The most shocking thing is the last picture. More than a dozen pieces of manuscript paper are stacked randomly on the desk. They seem to be full of things that everyone can't understand. Of course, everyone understands the author's style.

Most people would probably not pay attention to such an answer. After all, this is a place full of magical stories.

But the respondent not only has the badge of the 2023 New Knowledge Respondent, but has also passed real-name authentication. He is a Ph.D. from Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center. Looking through this guy’s past answers, almost all of them are questions for mathematics majors, especially geometry.

Provide professional answers to the questions.

The answers given were not only well received by the questioners, but also the credibility of the answers soared when ordinary people could not understand them at all.

In the era of professional segmentation, human wisdom is not only reflected in the understanding of professional knowledge, but also in the awe of professional knowledge that one does not understand.

There is no doubt that both the respondent's previous answers and the manuscripts he released have achieved this perfectly. Even if his answers are a little unpleasant. What does it mean to be a respondent on Zhihu just to find confidence?

?Hey... I can only say that this guy really found the right place.

Although there have even been figures like PhD supervisors appearing on Zhihu in recent years, they are still in the minority after all, and mathematics has its own particularities. Quantum physics is also very abstract, but it can be listened to as a story.

But it is difficult to tell the geometric Langlands conjecture into a story.

Some people didn't believe it and searched for the geometric Langlands conjecture. In the era of intelligent Internet, pure English papers can be directly translated into Chinese using artificial intelligence, and then they came back confused.

"I, what are these things? Functors, stacks, homogeneity, star modular surfaces, pseudo-modular forms... Is this artificial intelligence making words, or is the mathematics I learned different from this mathematics?

Why can’t I understand what they are trying to express at all?”

"You're right if you don't understand. Believe me, the number of mathematicians in the world who have done research on the Langlands conjecture does not exceed four digits, and those who have achieved results do not exceed three digits. And those who have made results, every one of them counts.

They are all pretty awesome people! Let’s put it this way, this is an area that even math and civil sciences dare not touch.”

"The answer is awesome! As for Qiao Yu... is his sixteen-year-old a little different from other people's sixteen-year-olds? I think if a person is a little normal, it is impossible for him to start to be exposed to the Langlands conjecture at the age of sixteen

Right? He can actually find loopholes in others, right?"

There is also a hot comment in the comment area.

"Fuck! This Qiao Yu is my junior high school classmate! We have such an awesome person in Class 13? Does that mean I'm pretty awesome too?" "I'm an awesome person in the key class, right? Then don't you do it now?

Should I go to high school? Why can you still play Tonghu during class time today on Tuesday?

"No, what kind of key class is it? How awesome is Class 13 of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School? Go and find out. In the vocational school I went to, the teachers didn't even check their phones during class, okay?" "???" in the row below.

"Probably shows people's troubles.

After all, among the classmates of the same age, some have become mathematical geniuses trained by the two major mathematics centers of Huaqing and Yanbei, while others are attending vocational schools. This contrast seems too great and is indeed difficult for people to understand.
