Goodbye, My Friend
"Nofi, Daddy didn't lie to you, did he? Kindergarten is the happiest place in the world. Do you still resent Daddy for sending you to kindergarten when you were two years old?" Shen Qi thought about it and found it funny. His Nofi was now longing for kindergarten. He didn't need his parents to urge him at all. Nofi asked to go to kindergarten on his own initiative.
Nophie shook her head. "I don't hate it anymore."
"Nofi is so sensible, she's grown into a big girl." Shen Qi was quite pleased, then asked, "Teacher Yan texted me this morning, saying that your IQ, EQ, and knowledge level far exceed the standards of the junior class. Nofi, would you like to move to the middle class?"
Nophie thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, okay."
"Nofi is amazing, you're not even 3 years old yet." Shen Qi fully realized that his daughter's upbringing couldn't be based on the standards of ordinary children, because his daughter was too smart, and she couldn't waste her time in kindergarten.
The next morning, Shen Qi personally took Nuofei to Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten.
Nofi entered the small classroom with ease, holding a handful of lollipops, and handed them out to her classmates one by one.
"Thank you, Shen Nuo Fei," Cheng Jiaqi said. She is almost four years old and is Nuofei's good friend.
"Shen Nuo Fei, your family is really rich," Ma Ziyang said. He was already 4 years old, but he was still spending his days in kindergarten.
Nofi is intelligent, academically successful, and generous. She often brings the best snacks from home to kindergarten to share with her classmates, earning their respect and trust.
Shen Qi saw this and finally understood why Nofi longed to go to kindergarten. It was because Nofi was a respected and strong person in kindergarten.
Only one child disagreed with Nofi; his name was Liu Yiming.
Nofi approached Liu Yiming and handed Liu Yiming the last lollipop. "Liu Yiming, here you go."
"Shen Nuo Fei, get away from me!" Liu Yiming turned around, his stubborn pride preventing him from accepting Shen Nuo Fei's lollipop.
"Hmph, you silly girl." Nophie peeled off the wrapper of the lollipop and ate it herself.
Outside the small classroom, Teacher Yan said to Shen Qi with mixed feelings, "Academician Shen, your daughter Nofi is a genius girl."
"Let Nofi attend the middle class." Shen Qi had already discussed it with Nofi at home, and Nofi was willing to attend the middle class.
Normally, children aged 3-4 attend kindergarten, 4-5 attend middle kindergarten, 5-6 attend senior kindergarten, and start primary school after age 6.
When Shen Qi was in kindergarten, kindergartens at that time were similar to childcare agencies. Parents sent their children to kindergarten mainly so that the kindergarten could help take care of them.
Today, kindergartens still bear the responsibility of looking after children on behalf of parents. Parents bring their children to kindergarten full of energy in the morning, and the kindergarten returns the children to their parents in the afternoon or evening. This is the basic responsibility of any kindergarten.
Top-tier kindergartens like Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten charge such high fees not only because they act as "competent caregivers," but also because they are considered "the best early childhood education institutions in the capital."
Shen Nuo Fei is already unbeatable in the junior class; she needs to move to the middle class to receive more advanced early childhood education.
At Shen Qi's suggestion and after consulting with Shen Nuo Fei herself, and with the final approval of the principal of Xicheng Weihua Kindergarten, Shen Nuo Fei, who is under 3 years old, was promoted to the middle class for further education, effective immediately.
The door to a new world has been opened, and what's truly admirable is that Shen Nuo Fei has maintained a calm and composed attitude.
Nofi bid farewell to her classmates, with whom she had spent so much time. She loved this place deeply, but she knew she would eventually have to leave.
"Bye-bye, Cheng Jiaqi." Nofi said goodbye to little Cheng Jiaqi.
Cheng Jiaqi shed tears of reluctance, cherishing this friendship very much.
"Goodbye, Ma Ziyang." Nofi said goodbye to little Ma Ziyang.
"Bye-bye Shen Nuo Fei, your family is really rich." Four-year-old Ma Ziyang is the oldest in his class, and he has known the importance of money since he was a child.
Finally, Nofi stood before Liu Yiming, utterly bewildered as to why Liu Yiming hated her so much.
Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
Perhaps Shen Nuo Fei will understand this principle years from now.
"Liu Yiming, goodbye." Shen Nuo Fei, being a lady from a respectable family, politely bid farewell to Liu Yiming.
Liu Yiming smiled the happiest he had in over six months, waving joyfully, "Shen Nuo Fei, you're finally gone."
"Hmph, you silly girl." Nofi still had regrets in the small class; she could never make Liu Yiming feel genuine affection for her.
"Liu Yiming is quite a character." Shen Qi had noticed Liu Yiming long ago; the boy had a very strong sense of self-esteem.
After arranging his daughter's future, Shen Qi returned to Yenching University and focused his energy on studying the "Mathematical Grand Unification".
The redefinition of Mori contraction and the rational embedding of the exact solution of Hyperbolic Geometry are both significant research achievements when taken individually.
The difficulty lies in integrating research findings from different branches to form a reasonable and credible new system. This is not a simple matter of addition.
Xu Yang and Zhou Yu'an completed the groundwork. Combining their research findings on the Hodge conjecture and the SLW system, they established this local model based on the redefinition of Mori contraction and the definitive solution of Hyperbolic Geometry.
Hodge conjecture and the SLW system were ultimately developed by Shen Qi is the most qualified to speak on this subject.
"The key problem is Projective algebraic variety. Once this problem is proven, the local model is essentially self-consistent."
Shen Qi began to think. To solve the problem of Projective algebraic variety, he first needed to make an assumption.
To prove this hypothesis, Shen Qi devised a new method of proof.
"The richest topology makes all representable functors become layers, so the morphism fi is not necessarily an embedding... This project is really getting more and more complicated."
Shen Qi walked to the window and watched the college students coming and going downstairs.
The project of Mathematical Grand Unification is extremely large and complex. Unifying Algebraic Geometry and Partial Differential Equations is certainly not as ideal as simply copying and pasting; otherwise, mathematics would have Grand Unification long ago.
When one branch of mathematics is unified with another, new theoretical principles or techniques are inevitably involved.
Unifying branches such as Algebraic Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, topology, and analysis requires adding a large number of innovative elements to the existing theoretical foundation. This is only a partial unification, or rather, a restrictive framework.
Shen Qi rested for a while before returning to his desk.
After an afternoon of dedicated study, Shen Qi used a novel "proof method covering the richest topology" to prove the derivation hypothesis of Projective algebraic variety.
"After all that proof, this is the result..."
Shen Qi found it interesting; it was hard to say whether the result was good or bad, but rather an unprecedented new approach.
