Benefactor

Shen Qi entrusted the entire process of reviewing, proofreading, typesetting, printing, and distributing the English version of "History of Number Theory" to the US business department of Springer Publishing Group.

Shen Qi returned to China during the Christmas holiday.

On the afternoon of the 30th, Shen Qi received national-level commendation.

At 7:00 PM sharp that evening, <Major News Events> began broadcasting on time:

"Dear viewers, today's 'Major News Events' includes the following:"

"We must not relax, stop, or slacken our efforts to win the battle against poverty," a leader said in an important speech at a symposium on winning the battle against poverty.

The leaders met with the Indian Prime Minister in Sanya on the 30th, expressing their hope to promote the better, faster and more stable development of China-India relations.

Shen Qi was awarded the honorary title of "National Outstanding Contribution Scientist" and a medal.

A new gas galaxy has been observed by China's super telescope.

Tourist numbers increased across the country during the New Year's Day holiday, while rain and snow became more frequent.

A passenger plane carrying 66 people crashed in Iran.

The British Prime Minister hopes to negotiate a security treaty with the European Union as soon as possible.

The United States admits to ignoring intelligence about the Dezhou shooting.

Today's "Top News" segment is expected to last 35 minutes.

At approximately 7:15, Shen Qi appeared on the television screen of "Major News Events":

"The Great Hall was brightly decorated, and experts and scholars from the fields of science, education, and culture across the country gathered together."

"At around 3 p. m., the leaders conferred upon Shen Qi the honorary title of 'National Outstanding Contribution Scientist' and awarded him the National Medal of Honor."

"Shen Qi is an outstanding Chinese mathematician. He successfully proved the Riemann Hypothesis, a century-old mathematical problem, established a significant mathematical theoretical system, and was awarded the Fields Medal this October. He is the first Chinese mathematician to receive the Fields Medal."

"The leader highly praised Shen Qi's outstanding contributions to Chinese mathematics, pointing out that mathematics is the most important basic discipline, and only by consolidating the foundation can we build a strong nation in science and technology."

"Later, Shen Qi delivered a keynote speech on the theme of 'My Dream, Mathematical Dream, Chinese Dream,' showcasing the ambition and patriotism of young Chinese mathematicians in the new era."

Inside the hotel, Shen Qi was watching "Major News Events," having just returned from the Great Hall.

Shen Qi's right hand trembled slightly. Today, he shook hands with some people in the Great Hall, people who usually only appear on television.

Meanwhile, on the television screen, Shen Qi was seen alongside these figures.

"I was still nervous, as expected." Shen Qi opened the bedside table drawer, took out a pencil and a memo pad, and wrote down three Differential Equation. His mood gradually calmed down, and his hands stopped shaking.

Although his handshake performance was not ideal, Shen Qi did a good job in the "My Dream, My Mathematical Dream, My Chinese Dream" presentation, which won widespread praise.

After the news broadcast of Shen Qi being awarded the "National Outstanding Contribution Scientist" medal finished, the system displayed the following message: "New achievement! Host has received the National Medal of Honor, rewarded with 500,000 Academic Points."

"Huh?" Shen Qi was a little surprised. It didn't double. This achievement probably falls under the political category, right?

After the New Year's Day holiday, Shen Qi returned to Yenching University.

Luo Ji, Li Zhenqiang, and other old classmates watched Shen Qi from a distance, not daring to approach.

"Luo Ji, Li Zhenqiang, come here! Never mind, I'll go over there." Shen Qi walked up to Luo Ji and Li Zhenqiang and shook hands warmly with his two undergraduate classmates.

"I'm not a tiger or a lion, what are you afraid of?" Shen Qi asked.

"Professor Shen, you've been on 'Major News Events'! Can tigers and lions compare to you?"

"The Fields Medal bigwig has suddenly arrived; you need to give us some time to adjust."

Luo Ji and Li Zhenqiang gradually returned to normal and had a lively conversation with Shen Qi.

"Luo Ji, if I remember correctly, you are now a graduate student in the Mathematics Department at Yenching University, specializing in applied mathematics, right?" Shen Qi was very concerned about his classmate's studies.

"Yes, applied mathematics isn't as brain-intensive as pure mathematics. I found it quite easy to learn, and I published an SCI paper after only a few months of graduate studies." Luo Ji successfully transitioned to mathematics and reported his recent academic achievements to Shen Qi.

"That's good." Shen Qi thought he knew his undergraduate roommate Luo Ji quite well; this guy was a potential talent and worth keeping an eye on.

"And you, Li Zhenqiang?" Shen Qi turned to ask Li Zhenqiang, whose performance during his undergraduate studies had been mediocre.

Li Zhenqiang was one of the few students in Shen Qi's class who were admitted through the national college entrance examination, while all four of Shen Qi's roommates were admitted to Peking University through competitions.

Li Zhenqiang, who once considered changing his major during his undergraduate studies, persevered to the end and was admitted to the Department of the Mathematics Department at Yenching University for Algebraic Geometry under the guidance of Professor Xu Yang.

"Algebraic Geometry is too difficult." Li Zhenqiang looked serious, but then rallied his spirits and declared, "But since I've chosen mathematics, and Algebraic Geometry, I will definitely persevere. My dream, my mathematical dream, and my Chinese dream will surely come true!"

"That's impressive!" Shen Qi laughed heartily, patting Li Zhenqiang on the shoulder. He was quite impressed with Li Zhenqiang: "Li Zhenqiang, I admit I didn't pay much attention to you during my undergraduate years. But now, I've finally discovered your strengths—your perseverance and willingness to face challenges head-on are excellent. You're a late bloomer. My research area is Algebraic Geometry, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate in the future."

Luo Ji asked with some doubt, "Number theory, Algebraic Geometry, and the Muller -Shen theorem in functional theory... Shen Qi, I've always wondered, what exactly is your research area?"

"I've been studying physics lately," Shen Qi said. "Although I'm proficient in more than ten areas of mathematics, I still want to focus on a few main ones. Truly all-around mathematicians are practically nonexistent. My biggest wish in this life is to produce five research results similar to Lê Conjecture in five different areas, and that would be enough. It's best not to exceed five, otherwise I won't have the energy to keep up."

"After Lê Conjecture, what did you study? Goldbach Conjecture?" Li Zhenqiang asked curiously.

Shen Qi: "Didn't I just say that I've been studying physics recently and am preparing to pursue a PhD in physics?"

After his conversation with his old classmate, Shen Qi met with Academician Lin from the Big Mathematics Department.

Academician Lin held Shen Qi's hand, tears welling up in his eyes. "After decades of waiting, China has finally received the Fields Medal."

Shen Qi said gratefully, "Academician Lin, I am able to complete the RT Third Expression thanks to you. It was you who reminded me that s is located at a certain non-obvious zero point during the traversal of the complex plane, that is, it coincides with that non-obvious zero point."

"Your outstanding achievements are mainly due to your own efforts," Academician Lin said, adding with particular emotion, "Qiu Chengtong once said that if he hadn't won the Fields Medal, he would have collapsed long ago."

Academician Lin held Shen Qi's hand for a long time, praising him repeatedly. "It's the same for us. If we still can't win the Fields Medal within ten years, we will collapse. Shen Qi, you are a hero of Chinese mathematics. This Fields Medal came at the perfect time."
