When it comes to Peking University mathematics, everyone thinks of Wei Dongyi at the first time.

Wei Dongyi became popular all over the Internet because of an interview. His image of holding a steamed bun + a large bottle of mineral water is completely inconsistent with the image of Peking University teacher.

After understanding, he found out that he was a scholar who focused on mathematical research. He had almost transcended the desire for things and ignored everything except mathematics.

Because of his true love, Wei Dongyi also achieved high grades in the field of mathematics. He is one of the few full-score winners in the International Olympic Mathematics Competition and has won the International Mathematics Award many times. Wei Dongyi was given the most respected.

However, Wei Dongyi also has different praises. Some people say that he is the person who is most promising to win the highest math award Phil Prize in my country.

Some people also say that Wei Dongyi's chance of winning is 0. After all, Qiu Chengtong and Tao Zhexuan have already achieved outstanding results at his age.

Someone compared Wei Dongyi with the mathematical genius of Peking University Gold, and the right judgment is clear.

A group photo is 6 top students, Peking University’s “golden generation” of mathematics

Peking University has a high reputation in mathematics, one level higher than Tsinghua . So many difficulties have also cultivated many mathematical talents. One generation of students has achieved remarkable results and is called the Golden Generation.

The following figure is genius from the golden generation of Peking University mathematics. They are all students studying and living at Peking University between 1998 and 2005. From left to right, they are Liu Ruochuan , Yun Zhiwei, Yuan Xinyi , Song Shichang, Xiao Liang, and Xu Chenyang .

This photo is extremely precious and rare. After all, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. If you want to bring these six mathematical geniuses together, it is as difficult as the Shu Road to the sky.

So after so many years, what are these academic masters who once had the title of math genius doing now? Where is it high?

What is the current situation of the golden generation of Peking University mathematics?

Liu Ruochuan, After finishing his undergraduate degree and master's degree in the School of Mathematics Science, he chose to continue his studies. In 2004, he went to the United States to study in MIT , and obtained a Ph.D. in 2004. In the following years, he made major breakthroughs in the field of mathematics in the United States and was known as the best world-class mathematics expert.

I thought he would have been engaged in research in the United States, but I didn’t expect that he would still choose to return to China in 2012 and return to his alma mater to teach at Peking University. In the following years, he won many awards for Peking University, including Science Exploration Award , Youth Science Award, National Natural Science Award , etc.

Yuan Xinyi, took 3 years to complete her undergraduate degree at Peking University. In 2003, she went to Columbia University in the United States to further her studies and took 5 years to get her PhD. She worked as an assistant professor at Princeton University and Berkeley University of California.

in 2020 chose to return to China to develop, return to the embrace of Peking University, alma mater, , and serve as a professor at the Center for Mathematics Research.

Song Shichang, after , after , he studied at the University of Illinois in the United States, and after obtaining his doctorate, he returned to China to develop. He is a relatively low-key person and does not have much information on the Internet. It is reported that Professor Ren and Ph.D. tutors from Beijing Jiaotong University are now .

Xiao Liang, was admitted to Peking University through the competition. After studying physics for two years, he was not interested in it and transferred to mathematics. With his talent, he climbed onto the ship of the Golden Generation of Mathematics Genius of Peking University. After completing his undergraduate studies, he went to MIT University in the United States for further studies. After obtaining his doctorate degree, he taught at Connecticut University in the United States for many years. He chose to return to China to develop in 2019 and now he also works at the Peking University International Mathematics Research Center.

Yun Zhiwei and Xu Chenyang . If you want to say that the most famous ones in the Golden Generation of Peking University must have names.

Yun Zhiwei won numerous awards during his undergraduate studies at Peking University and is the best in the golden generation.

Unlike other people, he entered Princeton University for further studies at undergraduate level, and obtained his doctorate degree five years later. In 2012, he won the Oscar for the mathematics community, Lamanu Award, , and became a representative of young mathematicians. Now Yun Zhiwei still teaches in Massachusetts and serves as a professor.

Xu Chenyang took 3 years to complete his undergraduate studies at Peking University, and went to Princeton University and MIT University in the United States for further studies. In 2012, Xu Chenyang returned to China and worked at Peking University Mathematics Center. In 4 years, he won many awards at Peking University, including the Ramanu Award.

But in 2 18, he turned around and returned to MIT to teach in the United States, which was puzzled.

Science has no borders, but scientific research results have national boundaries

It can be seen that the Golden Generation of Mathematics geniuses of Peking University are the same routes. After completing their undergraduate studies, they choose to go to the United States to study, but their routes after completing their studies are very different.

Judging from the current achievements, Yun Zhiwei and Xu Chenyang are the two most accomplished people in the golden generation, but both of them chose to study in the United States, which is sad.

When Xu Chenyang ran away for the second time, he did not respond much, but said that there are many talents in the domestic mathematics community, and there are not many more people in me, and there are not many less people.

A few years later, he revealed the real reason and pointed out three reasons: is the impetuous domestic academic atmosphere, the second is the serious seniority ranking of the domestic academic community, and the third is the serious domestic academic fraud.

my country's academic system has been constantly improving, and these situations have been improved now, but the long road ahead is not the end, and continuous progress is still needed.

However, for those scientific research talents who returned to China under pressure, I can only admire and thank them. After all, their series of scientific research achievements after returning to China represent our country, and this alone is worthy of admiration.
