Hello, Hello, Everyone

The review of the proof of Goldbach Conjecture by the three senior scholars at the Institute for Advanced Study has continued into the summer vacation and is still not completed.

Shen Qi used this free time to continue refining his physics paper.

In August, Shen Qi helped Ou Ye move from New York to Princeton.

Ou Ye spent three semesters earning her master's degree in the Mathematics Department from Columbia University. In the near future, she will move to Princeton to pursue her doctoral studies under Professor Lyndon Strauss of Princeton University Mathematics Department.

Shen Qi and Ou Ye dated for several years before finally moving in together.

The faculty dormitory that Princeton assigned to Shen Qi had a large bedroom and study, enough for the young couple to live comfortably.

In September, with the start of the fall semester, everyone gets busy again.

Shen Qi's life is simple and regular: teaching classes, supervising graduate students, writing papers, and spending time with his girlfriend.

Ou Ye's life is equally simple: doing research, taking medication, and spending time with her boyfriend.

Neither of them can cook, so they eat at the cafeteria for all three meals, or they buy some simple food and put it in the refrigerator so they can eat whenever they want.

Juice, cereal, toast, vegetables, hamburgers, sandwiches, steak, pork chops, roasted lamb chops—eating these every day gets boring after a while.

Zhou Yu'an and Yu Lei would occasionally Shen Qi's dormitory for gatherings, and their visits brought a lot of joy to Shen Qi and Ou Ye.

Zhou Yu'an was in charge of cooking, Yu Lei was in charge of telling stories.

"Little Brother Qi, Sister Ou, I'm so embarrassed. Heidi, the number one beauty in the Mathematics Department, I'm pretty close to her, and I have feelings for her. Yesterday, I bought a bouquet of roses, wanting to confess to her, but... sigh." Yu Lei he said this.

Shen Qi asked, "So Heidi told you, 'I'm sorry, but I have a man now?'"

Yu Lei pounded his chest in frustration. "It's normal for her to have men around, but she... she was actually passionately kissing a girl! I caught her while I was secretly watching."

"Lala?" Ou Ye expressed sympathy for Yu Lei.

"Yeah, Sister Ou, you can imagine how embarrassed I am. What kind of world is this!" Yu Lei almost cried as he spoke, but ultimately could only manage a bitter smile.

"Yu Lei, the most handsome guy in the Mathematics Department of Princeton University, then you should use your charm to straighten out the most beautiful girl Heidi," Shen Qi suggested.

"Forget it, Little Brother Qi, I need to focus on my studies this semester. I have the lowest educational background among everyone in this house."

Shen Qi asked Yu Lei, "Then I don't understand, if Heidi likes girls, why did she take the initiative to show interest in you?"

Ou Ye interjected, "That Heidi, could she be... bisexual?"

Shen Qi looked at Ou Ye: "Oh, you seem to know quite a bit about this?"

"Hehe." Ou Ye smiled without saying a word.

"Aren't you three bored? Yu Lei, wash a cucumber for me!" Zhou Yu'an roared in the kitchen. He was the only one in the house who could cook. He was also entering his doctoral studies this fall, working under Professor Faltings.

Zhou Yu'an is a pretty good cook; he quickly prepared four dishes and a soup—a Chinese meal.

The four of them sat around the dining table. Shen Qi tasted the Kung Pao Chicken and praised it highly, "Zhou Yu'an, when did you learn to cook like this?"

Zhou Yu'an: "Children from poor families mature early. I could cook when I was in middle school. How could I dare to be like you rich kids who spend money like water?"

Shen Qi: "That's not very kind of you. You never cooked for us roommates when you were studying at Peking University."

Zhou Yu'an rolled her eyes at Shen Qi: "Does our dorm have the facilities to cook?"

Shen Qi persisted, "I haven't seen you cook for me since I came to Princeton University, except for two times recently."

Zhou Yu'an was unhappy. "Shen Qi, am I your nanny? Why should I cook for you? I'm only doing this for Ou Ye's sake, after all, she's the only girl in our class."

"Thank you, and please come again anytime." Ou Ye smiled and raised her glass of water to express her gratitude to Zhou Yu'an, like a proper hostess.

"Little Brother Yu is so skillful and virtuous. Whoever marries Little Brother Yu will be so lucky." Yu Lei quickly emerged from the shadow of heartbreak, and the delicious food helped him forget his pain.

Hometown dishes are delicious; enjoying them in a foreign land evokes a deep sense of homesickness.

A Chinese professor and three Chinese students spent their weekend eating Chinese food and chatting in Chinese, feeling homesick.

At the start of the new week, Shen Qi received some good news.

His paper, "A Proof of Goldbach Conjecture," was published in the * Annals of Mathematics *.

After several months of review, three senior researchers at the Institute for Advanced Study finally approved Shen Qi's paper on the Goldbach Conjecture.

At the same time, IMU released an official statement:

"Shen Qi has successfully proven Goldbach Conjecture, Polignac's conjecture, the Twin Prime Conjecture, and Guy's conjecture."

"Effective immediately, the above four conjectures are renamed Goldbach's Theorem, Polignac's Theorem, Twin Prime Theorem, and Gay's Theorem."

"For details of the relevant paper, please refer to the Annals of Mathematics. We Shen Qi for his historic contribution to this field."

The Mathematics Community is once again shaken.

The world was shocked once again.

"Solving five conjectures, including the Riemann Hypothesis and Goldbach Conjecture, in one year, 23-year-old Fields Medal winner Shen Qi has entered his academic peak." -- Time Magazine

"He did what I couldn't do, and I just want to see him immediately, to see this magical China Key." - Comment from Canadian mathematician Guy.

The twin prime conjecture was proposed by Hilbert in 1900. The Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach Conjecture, Polignac's conjecture, and Guy's conjecture are named after their proposers.

Hilbert, Riemann, Goldbach, and Polignac have all passed away; only Guy remains alive today.

In 2003, Guy published a book called "Unsolved Problems in Number Theory," in which he proposed the Guy's conjecture.

Like most people who propose a hypothesis, Victoria University tenured professor Guy is unable to prove his own hypothesis.

Shen Qi helped Professor Guy fulfill this wish.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Professor Guy, in a wheelchair, rushed from Victoria, Canada to Princeton to meet Shen Qi.

Shen Qi, accompanied by his family member Ou Ye and student Yu Lei, met with Professor Guy and Mrs. Guy, as well as Guy's son and his students, at the Princeton Mathematics Building.

"Nice." Professor Guy greeted him in Chinese. The old man was almost 80 years old and had difficulty moving around. His daily life was taken care of by his wife, son and students.

"Hello, how are you?" Shen Qi greeted his Canadian friends from afar in fluent Mandarin.

Professor Guy gripped Shen Qi's hand tightly. Although he had difficulty walking, his mind was perfectly clear. He could only say one word in Chinese, "Nihao," and expressed the rest of his thoughts in his native English: "Young man, do you know, there are only two things in my life that have truly excited me: one is becoming a tenured professor at Victoria University, and the other is witnessing my conjecture being proven while I was still alive."
