Just as Lu Zhou and Schultz talked about the Langlands program from algebraic geometry, two other Fields Prize winners were also whispering the award-winning testimonials. Fiction.

"...When I escaped from Kurdish, I didn't even think of it today. When I first entered the University of Nottingham, I didn't even speak English." Looking at the medal in his hand, recalling the last year of the undergraduate fleeing Iran to the UK. Experience, Bilkar is embarrassed.

From being displaced from his hometown and linguistically uncomfortable, to becoming a major contributor to the dual rational geometry, he proved the finiteness of the fano cluster and made an outstanding contribution to the solution of many of the problems of the minimal model program (also known as the Mori Chongwen program). He was the main reason for the Fields Award.

"It's not easy." Vincats sitting next to him comforted, "I have never had such a tragic thing in Australia. We are so lucky compared to your past."

In the 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war, it was not an easy task to maintain a love of mathematics in the era of artillery.

"It's okay, these are gone," put the medal in the briefcase, and Bill Carr's face squeezed a smile. "Kurd is a place that is not very interesting for children. I hope this award-winning The news can make 40 million people smile on their faces."

After this, the International Federation of Mathematicians also awarded the Navarlina Award. As the highest award in the field of computer science and mathematics, the winner was Professor Das Karajis of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

After the award ceremony, the opening ceremony also came to an end.

The local art group in Rio de Janeiro brings a unique Brazilian performance to participants from all over the world.

Looking at the Indo-Indigenous, and the crown that looks like a peacock, Lu Zhou always feels more like a performance art than dancing.

At least he can't feel it at all, what's so good.

Maybe this is the cultural difference.

......

After the performance, the league's main host, Sisen, announced the end of the opening ceremony.

Most of the participants were happy to leave.

Separated from the seat, Lu Zhou was preparing to leave the venue, and when he went to the restaurant for lunch, he was quickly surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

The first question asked was the reporter of tv.

I saw the reporter’s face with a professional smile and asked politely: “Hello, Professor Lu, may I ask you as the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor? What do you think at this moment?”

This problem is a bit difficult.

excitement? Pleasant? If you wish?

It seems to be a bit, but not very accurate.

He does not know how to describe the mood at the moment.

Looking at his own camera, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "I feel okay."

Hearing this sentence, the reporter's little brother staring at the camera almost did not stabilize the lens.

Yes...

The Philippine Award is also OK... Professor Lu!

This interview is broadcast, I am afraid that it will become a paragraph tomorrow.

The microphone in the hands of the reporter's sister also shook, but soon recovered to normal, changed a question, and continued to ask.

"I heard that you are very famous at Jinling University. Many young students regard you as an example of struggle. May I stand on this international stage, do you have anything to say to them?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Do not forget the initial heart, you have to always!"

It is not just Lu Zhou that is surrounded by reporters. The other three Philippine winners are also receiving much attention.

Especially Bill Carr.

Although the academic achievements were slightly inferior to the other three winners, the special identity tag made him unexpectedly more popular with Western media.

Although this kind of popularity does not necessarily mean good things for him.

Some of the entanglement of the reporters was annoying. Bill Carr was preparing to give the opportunity to start, but at this time, it was a very embarrassing thing.

"Wait, my medal?"

An exclamation sounded, so that all the nearby shots were aligned with Bilkar.

Ignoring those shots, Bilkar anxiously looked around for the medals that had just arrived.

Noting the situation here, Professor Steiner Viana, the organizing committee of the conference, came over and looked at Karl Biel, who was in a hurry.

"what's going on?"

"My medal, it's just in my briefcase..." In an incredible tone, Bill Carr, who was about to find a briefcase, suddenly stopped.

Because he soon discovered that not only the 14k medal was gone, but his briefcase with his mobile phone and wallet was gone.

Professor Viana quickly realized the seriousness of the problem and looked at the secretary next to him and sighed.

"Alarm."

The secretary nodded and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Although they are the organizers of the conference, they don't want to make things bigger.

But at this moment, apart from contacting the police, they have no other better way.

The news that the Fields Medal was stolen quickly spread, and caused a lot of commotion in the venue.

Although the briefcase was quickly found near the hotel, the mobile phones, wallets and medals were all gone.

Based on the principle of open communication, the mathematics conference itself does not limit the identity of the attendees. Anyone can freely publish academic opinions and exchange academic questions with people at the conference.

However, no one expected that the thief had been mixed into the conference.

In the face of interviews with various media, the spokesperson of the International Federation of Mathematicians expressed disappointment with the security situation in Rio de Janeiro, and also said that if the medals are finally found, a special ceremony will be held to re-present the unfortunate winner.

Lu Zhou, who just got rid of the reporter, also heard from Billy from Hardy.

In the deep sympathy for the Kurdish brothers, Lu Zhou subconsciously touched the medals in his pocket.

Fortunately, his medal is still there.

Listening to the voices of the arguments next to him, the expression on Hardy's face was a little uncomfortable.

"...Professor, although I don't want to say that, but the law and order in Rio de Janeiro is really not very good. If you plan to go out, please remember to keep your medals and wallets."

Looking at Hardy's face is not like a joke, Lu Zhou nodded silently.

"……I will."

After coming out of the hall where the opening ceremony was held, Lu Zhou decided to go around the conference site.

Reports at the International Congress of Mathematicians are usually of high quality. In addition to the one-hour and 45-minute reports that start at a fixed time, there are also 10-minute reports for general scholars. Any participant can be interested in the group. Apply on.

There are more than 20 subject groups in the conference. If you subdivide, you can divide more.

For this kind of opportunity to intuitively understand the latest research trends in the academic world, Lu Zhou will not be so easily let go.

When I first came to the corridor, when Lu Zhou thought about which subject group to go to the lecture hall to turn around, suddenly a familiar and eager voice came from the side.

"Professor Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
