Turning from Fan to Hater is Something No One Wants to See

The Nobel Prizes for this year were announced in October, and the valid nomination period for the next Nobel Prize cycle is from now until January 31st of next year.

There are no age or award restrictions for the Nobel Prize; historically, four scientists have won the Nobel Prize twice.

"Let nature take its course," Shen Qi told the reporter, ending the interview.

Solving the Navier-Stokes equations took a lot of brainpower, so Shen Qi took a break, spending half a day at the center each day and the rest of the time at home with his wife and children.

The subsequent applications of obtaining the general solution to the Navier-Stokes equations are certainly an important topic worthy of further research. Solving these applied problems cannot be accomplished by just four people; it involves experts, scholars, and Engineer from various industries, as well as substantial financial investment.

Shen Qi had considered how to apply the Navier-Stokes equations to their fullest potential, but he would discuss it later, perhaps even in his lifetime.

The chemical paper "Synthesis of Novel Benzodiazepine-like Compounds" co-authored by Shen Qi and Old Yan was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The Chinese version of "Study on the General Solution of the Navier-Stokes Equation" was published as an academic monograph, and an overseas version is also in the works.

With his academic achievements reaching 51,692,488 points, Shen Qi is getting closer and closer to achieving the 60 million point mark in the math challenge.

With his third breakthrough in solving the Millennium Prize Problem and his second Nobel Prize in Physics, Shen Qi, already at the height of his scientific research career, became even more sought after, and his fan base grew exponentially.

Since returning to China, Shen Qi has consistently made suggestions, emphasizing that undergraduate education in universities is of paramount importance.

Media reports indicate that a long-standing problem in Chinese undergraduate education is that while getting into university, especially a prestigious one, is difficult, graduating with a bachelor's degree is relatively easy—a system characterized by strict entry requirements but lenient exit criteria.

There is widespread criticism that China's undergraduate education is too superficial, and many college students themselves believe this. They feel that they graduate after four years of college without really understanding anything except for finding a partner!

My boyfriend left me right after I graduated from university. I wasted four years of my education!

Super undergraduates like Shen Qi, Ou Ye, and Zhou Yu'an are a minority. That's why Shen Qi has always said that we should pay more attention to undergraduate education and, under the current admission model, give undergraduates as many fulfilling and meaningful four years as possible.

Perhaps Shen Qi's remarks had some effect, Ministry of Education introduced new regulations to do everything possible to improve the quality of undergraduate education, completely abolish the make-up exam system, impose stricter penalties for plagiarism and falsification of graduation theses, cancel undergraduate "easy" courses, and introduce more high-quality courses... and a series of other policies have been implemented.

These are new management regulations for students; there are also new requirements for faculty and staff.

The Ministry of Education requires that all university staff members with the title of professor must teach undergraduate courses. The number of teaching hours is determined by each university, but professors must not neglect undergraduate students or arrange for teaching assistants to handle their teaching hours.

Although Yenching University is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Shen Qi still strongly supports the newly introduced plan to boost undergraduate education.

In fact, Shen Qi also knew that not all college students could pursue postgraduate studies; most students would start working after graduating with their bachelor's degrees.

Witten once told Shen Qi, "Your country is terrifying. Millions of Engineer graduate every year. Even if 90% of them become useless, there are still hundreds of thousands left!"

The millions of Engineer that Witten refers to are the college graduates in China every year, and most of these Engineers are undergraduate graduates.

Millions of Engineer graduate every year, but we don't expect them all to become successful. If the success rate were only half, the country would be in even more dire straits. That's why undergraduate education is so important.

Shen Qi set an example by teaching a math class to undergraduate students at Yenching University today. It was a very basic course: Advanced Mathematics.

The course schedule had already been published on the PC website and WeChat official account of Yenching University's academic affairs information platform. The large classroom was packed with students from the Chemistry Department and the School of Engineering.

Advanced Mathematics is a classic course. Except for the Mathematics Department Advanced Mathematics, almost all other science and engineering students have to take it, and some liberal arts students also have to take Advanced Mathematics.

Fields Medalist Advanced Mathematics is a novel concept for Chinese university students.

"Pay close attention, students! Failing a course now has serious consequences. There are retakes and supplementary exams, but no more make-up exams. I'm not kidding, if you fail the supplementary exam, you might really not graduate."

Shen Qi is teaching about Infinite Series in this class. He said that Infinite Series are a very important mathematical tool. You chemistry students need to understand Infinite Series, and you aspiring Engineer in the School of Engineering need to master Infinite Series even more.

"Infinite Series, quickly highlight the key points!" Students from the Chemistry Department and the School of Engineering dared not be careless and buried themselves in taking notes.

This semester, Shen Qi will only teach Infinite Series in Advanced Mathematics; the rest of the content will be covered by the lecturer.

After class, a female student from the Chemistry Department rushed up to Shen Qi, humbly asking for help with a math problem, "Professor Shen, I don't quite understand this Stirling's approximation. Could you tutor me privately?"

"You're not sure exactly where it is?" Shen Qi asked kindly.

A female student from the Chemistry Department: "Wow, so many!"

Shen Qi: "So all that talk I gave just now was for nothing?"

Girl: "My name is Li Feifei."

Shen Qi: "Hello, Li Feifei."

"Professor Shen, your research is amazing, and you're so handsome! I'm your biggest fan!" The girl approached Shen Qi enthusiastically and openly; she was a devoted admirer.

Shen Qi is young, handsome, and has a perfectly styled haircut. With Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize, and Lifetime Achievement Award, it's normal for him to have a few female fans.

This Chemistry Department major is quite open-minded. She's youthful and lively, and openly declared her feelings, "I'm super infatuated with Professor Shen, what should I do?"

This is a difficult question to answer. If I offend the fans, they might turn from fans to neutral observers, or even neutral observers to haters.

This satisfies the female fans, right? Shen Qi is a married man, a father, and a family man.

"Are you a true fan?" Shen Qi asked.

The girl patted her chest and said, "Of course!"

Shen Qi said, "I'll also be teaching the next Advanced Mathematics class, and I'll answer your math questions in the next class."

"Hmm!" The Chemistry Department student was quite rational; she only openly expressed her affection by touching and rubbing against him, and that was enough for her. She didn't do anything else.

Back in his office, Shen Qi saw several express delivery envelopes on his desk.

Shen Qi the envelopes one by one. Inside were invitations to give speeches and attend academic conferences.

There is a letter of self-recommendation in which the writer claims to be academically outstanding and hopes to work at the center, applying for the position of deputy director.

The author has a mathematical solution and claims to have solved the BSD Conjecture. He asked Shen Qi to review it and hopes to co-author the paper with Shen Qi in one of the Top Four Journals.

There is an engineering proposal; the author claims to have solved the problem of large-scale Arctic ice melting caused by global warming using the Navier-Stokes equations. Please confirm, Shen Qi.

There were poems, handwritten, with elegant handwriting... Wait, why are there poems too? Was it sent to the wrong place? Shen Qi was puzzled. Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't sent to the wrong place. The recipient was Shen Qi, and the address was the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center at Yanda University.
