Chen Jingrun: A world-famous mathematician who married a female military doctor who was 18 years old at the age of 47.

引言

As a very famous mathematician since the founding of New China, Chen Jingrun has super high IQ and extraordinary willpower. His life is closely linked to Goldbach's conjecture. The "Chen's Theorem" makes China's research on Goldbach's conjecture far ahead of other countries in the world.

Chen Jingrun is one of the important promoters of modern mathematics in China. In addition to Goldbach's conjecture, Chen Jingrun has important research results in the constant estimation of the three prime number theorem, twin prime numbers, etc., and he deserves the title of the world famous "analytic number theorist". In May 1933, Chen Jingrun was born in a small village in Cangshan District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. The Chen family has always been poor and there are many children in the family, but the mother has never owed the children. She gritted her teeth and sent the talented and talented Chen Jingrun to school.

Chen Jingrun studied hard during school, and his grades have been very good, and he has an infinite fascination with mathematics. At the age of 15, Chen Jingrun was admitted to Fuzhou Yinghua School with excellent results. Two years later, he was admitted to the Department of Mathematics and Physics of Xiamen University in advance. After graduating from university, Chen Jingrun was assigned to teach at Beijing No. 4 Middle School and became a middle school math teacher. In 1955, under the recommendation of Wang Yanan, then president of Xiamen University, Chen Jingrun was able to return to his alma mater to work as an assistant teacher in the Department of Mathematics at Xiamen University. During his tenure at his alma mater, Chen Jingrun's love and research on mathematics did not let go. He published "The Problem in the Tower", which was valued by the Chinese mathematics master Hua Luogeng.

In 1957, with the help of Hua Luogeng, Chen Jingrun went to the Institute of Digital Studies of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to work and officially opened his own Research career. In 1966, through unremitting efforts, Chen Jingrun achieved major research results on the Goldbach conjecture. He also gained fame and gradually became known in the international mathematics community. Chen Jingrun's deeds of climbing the peak of mathematics have been published in large numbers in major domestic newspapers. Both "People's Literature" and "People's Daily" have reported on this matter. It is the first time for ordinary Chinese people to know this The existence of young mathematicians.

In 1978, Chen Jingrun was admitted to the People’s Liberation Army 309 Hospital due to illness, where he encountered the most important one of his life people. This person was named You Kun, a doctor in the hospital. Not only did he look outstanding, he was also very careful and gentle, and he melted Chen Jingrun's heart.

During Chen Jingrun's hospitalization, he was sent to his ward as a doctor on duty, so the two had many opportunities to contact.

For this famous mathematics giant, Kun is very concerned about his daily life and recovery, and often accompanied Chen Jingrun in rehabilitation exercises. Over time, the two became loving each other, but at this time Chen Jingrun was 47 years old, and Kun was only 29 years old. The difference between the two is 18 years old. There is a huge gap in age. But the two really love each other, so with the help of the organization, the lovers finally got married . After marriage, the two have a very happy life. Chen Jingrun, who is only obsessed with research, also began to have more life. In December 1981, the crystallization of their love was born.

Conclusion

Chen Jingrun does not interfere with his children's interest. Even if his son chooses any profession and job, he does not hesitate to support him. In 2004, while studying in Toronto, Chen Youwei took the initiative to transfer to the Department of Applied Mathematics. With the continuous in-depth study, Chen Youwei became more and more interested in mathematics. Today, he still specializes in applied mathematics, which is regarded as inherited from his father.
