However, if you have learned about Chen Jingrun's life, you will know how ridiculous this statement is.
What happened to Chen Jingrun, a Chinese math genius?
How do this couple, who are nearly twenty years apart, know each other and stay together for a lifetime? What is the current situation of the only son he gave birth to?
entered Xiada and lost his teacher job
This is the famous "Goldbach Conjecture ", but at that time Goldbach himself could not reversely verify his conjecture, so he wanted to ask his friend Euler for help.
Unfortunately, even though he is an accomplished mathematician, Euler could not inversely verify the correctness of the Goldbach conjecture, which has become a major problem that has plagued the mathematics community for hundreds of years.
Unexpectedly, 224 years later, a mathematician from China successfully explained the Goldbach conjecture reasonably, and also supplemented and improved it.
This mathematician is Chen Jingrun.
Since childhood, Chen Jingrun's parents have found that their children are very different from their peers. At the age when other children like to laugh and play, Chen Jingrun is always taciturn and stays alone.
Of course, Chen Jingrun was not in a daze, but was sitting alone in the corner and reading quietly.
At that time, children of his age were generally reading novels or story books, but Chen Jingrun had already begun to study mathematics books, such as "Advanced Algebra Theory".
After starting school, although Chen Jingrun always took leave due to his weak body, he did not lose any academic work and his grades were very excellent.
Interest is the best teacher. It is precisely because of this interest and hobby that Chen Jingrun's extremely high talent in mathematics was already very obvious at that time.
Every time he takes the exam, his math scores are particularly excellent.
Because of this, Chen Jingrun attracted the attention of teachers and the school. In order not to bury this genius, he recommended him to Xiamen University in his third year of high school.
, and Chen Jingrun was finally admitted to the Department of Mathematics and Sciences of Xiamen University in advance before he finished high school.
Successfully admitted to university did not mean that Chen Jingrun had achieved a phased victory, but that he finally started his research career.
During his study at Xiamen University, Chen Jingrun became the same as before and became an alien in the new environment.
Because everyone has discovered that he spends almost all his time studying hard, and it seems that he only has three things in the day: eating, sleeping and studying mathematics.
The students rarely interact with him in daily life, and the most communication occurs in the process of calculation together.
After graduating from university, Chen Jingrun was assigned to work as a teacher in Beijing.Although this job is a job that is a strong job, it is not suitable for him, because he is naturally introverted and not good at communicating with others. In addition, he has some southern accent, so he is not competent in all aspects.
Soon, this also caused dissatisfaction among students. Under various pressures, the school had to choose to suspend Chen Jingrun, and he lost his job.
Even so, having a job is still not as good as a job. After losing the job as a teacher, Chen Jingrun returned to Xiamen . He had no source of income for a long time, so he had to go to the street to set up a stall and barely make a living.
However, gold always shines everywhere, so naturally Chen Jingrun's talent cannot be buried just like this. He soon met a noble person.
This noble man was a teacher Chen Jingrun met when he was at Xiamen University. He was very surprised to see that a former math genius was setting up a stall on the roadside. After asking, he learned that Chen Jingrun is currently unemployed.
The teacher who cherishes talent immediately took the initiative to ask Chen Jingrun to introduce his work. What kind of work will this teacher introduce to him?
Can he successfully return to his favorite field of mathematics?
I met Bole to appreciate it and achieved great success in mathematics
Fortunately, the new work introduced by this teacher to Chen Jingrun not only brought him back to Xiamen University, but also closely related to mathematics, that is, the data administrator of the Department of Mathematics.
Although this is not a great position, it allows Chen Jingrun to return to the ocean of mathematics and do his favorite things, so that he will be satisfied.
In February of the following year, the principal, Mr. Wang Yanan, learned about Chen Jingrun's work and recommended him to the Department of Mathematics as an assistant teacher.
In this way, he became more obsessed with mathematics research. He spent almost all his spare time outside of work in the library, borrowing books on mathematics to read.
Once, he was too obsessed with reading in the library. He didn't even know it after seven or eight hours, and was locked in the library by the librarian who got off work. At that stage of
, Chen Jingrun's research topic was number theory . For this reason, he invested a lot of time and energy, and calculated and deduced day and night, but the result was not satisfactory and he did not gain much.
At this time, someone around him suggested that he could start with the book " Duailuozhuo " by Hua Luogeng to solve some unsolved problems mentioned in this book.
Chen Jingrun, who found a new direction, was once again invested in the calculation day and night. During that period, he almost stayed behind closed doors and stayed in his room of only 6 square meters.
Not long after, the small house was full of math books and calculation papers. Even on the way out for a meal, Chen Jingrun was thinking about his math research. He bumped into a tree by the road several times. Everyone said that he was possessed by a demon.
Hard work pays off. After working day and night, Chen Jingrun successfully solved the big problem of "the index of the best".
Soon, Hua Luogeng himself learned about Chen Jingrun's calculation results. He was surprised and carefully reviewed it and confirmed that Chen Jingrun's calculation was completely correct. The incident of
shocked the entire mathematical community, because it not only meant Chen Jingrun's own mathematical achievements, but also promoted the development of Chinese mathematical research.
So, Hua Luogeng personally invited Chen Jingrun to the Institute of Language and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and became a researcher.
This year, Chen Jingrun was only 24 years old.
In the next 20 years, he devoted himself to mathematical research, overcome many mathematical problems, and published many excellent papers.
This paper not only marks a huge improvement in Chen Jingrun’s personal mathematical research ability, but also marks that my country’s mathematical ability has entered a high-level circle around the world.
What is even more surprising is that all Chen Jingrun's mathematical calculations were only done with two tools, paper and pen, in a toilet with only 3 square meters.
It turned out that considering that I was too devoted when doing math research, I often forgot the day and night, and worried that it would affect my roommate at night, Chen Jingrun took the initiative to apply to live in a small toilet. There is only one bed here, which is usually used for calculations, so when you are sleepy, you will sleep on it.
Therefore, everyone believes that although Chen Jingrun is a genius in mathematics research, he is a very weird person in life. Perhaps only by finding a virtuous wife can he take care of his daily life.
But Chen Jingrun was not married until he was in his 40s. It was not until he was 47 that he met his beloved. The other party was nearly 20 years younger than him. How did the two meet?
study exhausted his body and unexpectedly encountered true love
When talking about Chen Jingrun’s acquaintance with his wife, we have to mention his madness when doing math research.
In order to obtain data results, staying up late is simply a common occurrence for Chen Jingrun. He even lived a life of upside down day and night and couldn't sleep for a long time a day.
In order to save money to do research, he was reluctant to even eat vegetables. Over time, not only was he overworked, but he was also malnourished.
Chen Jingrun's efforts not only won him unanimous recognition from domestic mathematicians, but even the international mathematics community favored him. The Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies in the United States even took the initiative to invite him to give lectures.
This is of course a good thing that all parties support, but the body is the capital of the revolution. Chen Jingrun, who was only in his forties, had already suffered from various illnesses. In desperation, he had to come to People's Liberation Army 309 Hospital to regulate his body before going abroad.
Here, Chen Jingrun met a female doctor named by Kun .
was originally working at Wuhan 156 Hospital and came to Beijing for further study.
Unexpectedly, when she came to Jiefang 309 Hospital, Chen Jingrun also checked into the hospital's high-ranking ward . Although the reason why the two met was not so beautiful, it has to be said that they were still very destined.
In the past forty years, Chen Jingrun has only been thinking about doing mathematical research, never considered his lifelong affairs, nor has he paid attention to the female colleagues around him. But when he saw Youkun at first, he suddenly felt something special.
However, Chen Jingrun, who is introverted and not good at communication, didn't know how to reveal his feelings to this female doctor, so he had to take advantage of every time she was in rounds and get to know each other.
Gradually, Chen Jingrun knew Youkun's hometown, family status and emotional status. He wanted to have more opportunities to communicate with Youkun, but the hospital stipulated that doctors should not disturb the patient.
So Chen Jingrun took the initiative to take advantage of the opportunity to dry clothes and chat with Youkun.
When I noticed that Yukun was learning a foreign language, in order to increase the common language between the two, he also offered to study with her.
Not long after, Chen Jingrun quietly expressed his love to Youkun, but because the two were too disparate in age, although Yukun felt that they were really happy to get along, he still embarrassedly rejected Chen Jingrun.
Chen Jingrun did not give up on his pursuit of Youkun because of this, and even promised that if Youkun did not agree to marry him, he would never get married in this life.
Perhaps it was moved by Chen Jingrun's sincerity, and Kun and Chen Jingrun finally entered the marriage hall a few years later.
After marriage, Chen Jingrun still said goodbye to his wife as she did when she was in love, and warmly welcomed her after she went home.
Although the two are nearly 20 years apart, Chen Jingrun gave his wife enough respect and love.
Soon after, their child is about to be born.
Outside the operating room, the nurse brought the document to Chen Jingrun for signature. In addition to writing his name seriously, he also wrote an additional line of words below, hoping that the doctor would ensure that Yu Kun was healthy after the operation.
After the son was born, Chen Jingrun gave him the name "Chen Youwei", which is enough to show his love for his wife.
There is a Chinese saying, "The dragon gives birth to a dragon, the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can dig holes." With a mathematical giant like Chen Jingrun as the father, Chen Youwei naturally gained a lot of attention when he grew up.
So has he inherited his father's business as everyone expected and entered the field of mathematics for research?
rejects his father's aura, which is difficult to stop the mathematical gene
In fact, before Chen Youwei was born, Chen Jingrun really fantasized that if he had a son, he hoped he could be a mathematician like himself.
But even so, he still hopes that the child can grow up freely and become a person with his own unique thinking method.
Therefore, when Chen Youwei was naughty, Chen Jingrun rarely restrained it.
Not only that, when Chen Youwei dismantled the things at home, Chen Jingrun would also dismantle them with him, encouraging his son to assemble the things he had dismantled back. When Chen Youwei cannot complete the assembly, Chen Jingrun will help him restore it.
This not only trains the son's hands-on ability and creativity, but also makes the father and son's relationship very deep, and the family of three are having a happy time.
days of unexpected events. One day in April 1984, Chen Jingrun was suddenly hit by a bicycle on the way home.
was seriously injured because the back of his head hit the ground, and later he suffered from Parkinson's syndrome.
This successive accident is a bolt from the blue for this family. Chen Jingrun himself cannot accept that he will spend every day in a wheelchair in the future.
A year later, a bigger blow occurred, and Chen Jingrun's mentor Hua Luogeng passed away.
Even though he was in very bad health at that time, he insisted on attending Hua Luogeng's memorial service and stood for 40 minutes with his sick body, which made his physical condition worse.
Even so, Chen Jingrun still did not give up on mathematical research. While enduring the torture of illness, he secretly searched for paper and pen calculations in the middle of the night. This spirit and attitude had a profound impact on his son Chen Youwei.
Perhaps because he didn't want to live under the halo of his father, Chen Youwei did not choose a mathematics major when he grew up, but went to Canada to study in the School of Business.
But as he deepened his studies, he had to realize that he was indeed very talented in mathematics and was also very interested, so he transferred to mathematics and obtained a master's degree
Conclusion
Although Chen Youwei later chose to return to China to be a businessman, he always remembered his father's teachings in his heart, worked tirelessly in the field of medical and health, and made contributions to the country with what he learned, just like his father.
As a mathematician, Chen Jingrun is undoubtedly great and has contributed immeasurable value to the country and even the world's mathematical community.
But in addition to being a mathematician, he is also a successful husband and father, and gave all his love except for mathematical research to his family!
