Chapter 509: Encountering an acquaintance in a foreign country
The day after Wang Mo got on the plane, Ling Xiangqian came to see Xia Wenzhu again, again at this home.
Seeing the two of them coming to see him one after another, Xia Wenzhu said speechlessly: "Don't you two have a good understanding? You came just after my brother left."
Hearing that Wang Mo had just left, Ling Xiangqian was a little nervous. Xia Wenzhu saw it and said helplessly: "Don't be nervous, he has gone to the United States, and he is probably at Princeton by now. I forgot to congratulate you, you got a graduate degree from Harvard Business School
offer."
At this time, Ling Xiangqian was much more mature than two years ago. Her long hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders, and her face no longer had the baby fat. She had become very thin, but she had a different kind of beauty.<
/p>
"Is he okay?" Ling Xiangqian asked.
"It's good, but it's obvious that he hasn't forgotten you. He stood in front of the wall of honor for a long time on the first day he came here. I think he was thinking of you at that time." Xia Wenzhu
Hearing this, Ling Xiangqian felt very happy, but at the age of 22, she had learned to hide her worries in her heart and would not show them.
"Come, let me show you. There are some honors he just arranged here." Xia Wenzhu took Ling Xiangqian to the guest bedroom and told her when Wang Mo got this and where he got that.<
/p>
"Wenzhu, can you let me stay here alone for a while?" Ling Xiangqian said softly.
Xia Wenzhu sighed. She didn't understand what the two of them were doing. They obviously loved each other, but they just didn't meet. Is self-esteem and face so important in the face of love?
Ling Xiangqian stood in front of this wall of honor, thinking of what Wang Mo had said to her, as if she heard his voice again at this time.
Ling Xiangqian knew that Wang Mo had never forgotten her and had never had a new girlfriend. Although she was very happy, she felt more guilty for him.
It's not that Ling Xiangqian didn't want to see Wang Mo, it was because things were unpredictable. She had already forgiven Wang Mo in her heart, but then her parents divorced at home, and the two of them were at odds. Many of them knew them in Shanhai City.
Everyone in the family was watching a joke, which made Ling Xiangqian's immature mentality mature a lot overnight, but she also lost a lot of happiness overnight.
At that time, she was particularly eager for Wang Mo to return to her, but she also knew that she was not worthy of Wang Mo at this time. Although she had a low self-esteem before, at least she still had a happy family and a father who loved her.
Mom, but everything is gone now.
At that moment, Ling Xiangqian suddenly had a desire to become strong and successful, maybe for her last pitiful self-esteem, maybe to prove that she has grown up.
So she worked hard in the past six months. She was not very talented, so she could only work harder than others. Finally, her hard work paid off, and she obtained the graduate qualification from Harvard.
As for why she doesn't contact Wang Mo now, but just pays attention to him silently, maybe only Ling Xiangqian knows!
After Wang Mo came to Professor Deligne, with the guidance of a famous teacher and his own talent, he obtained his doctoral diploma in two years, and his doctoral thesis was included in the "Annals of Mathematics". As one of the four kings of mathematics journals, if one paper can be included in it during one's lifetime, many countries can directly select their own academicians.
In the past few decades, China has published only more than 20 papers in the four major journals, while only more than 10 papers have been published by China's own research institutions. One can imagine how difficult it is to publish papers in these journals.<

With this paper, Wang Mo also obtained the professorship granted by Princeton, and also won the Cole Prize established by the American Mathematicians Association. This award is only awarded to members of the American Mathematical Association and has been published in American mathematical journals.
Dissertation scholar.
Of course, many mathematics awards established abroad actually have restrictions, and are generally only awarded to mathematicians in the country or mathematicians engaged in research in the country.
China's Zhong Jiaqing Prize and Chen Shengshen Prize are awarded to young and middle-aged mathematicians, but their award scope is only within the scope of China. Otherwise, it would be easy to win these two awards based on Wang Mo's achievements.
This year, Wang Mo is only 24 years old and has already become a professor at Princeton. Although it is a bit incredible, there are many mathematicians who are more outstanding than him in history, such as his teacher Professor Deligne who obtained the professor qualification at the age of 23, and Wang Mo.
Mo's close friend Schulz was awarded the qualification of a tenured professor at the University of Bonn in Germany last year.
Today's mathematics community also calls Wang Mo and Schultz the twin stars of mathematics. Professor Faltings once predicted that at least one of them will win the Fields Medal before the age of 35.<
/p>
As a result, Wang Mo and Schultz's reputations are at the height of their popularity in the mathematics community. Although their reputations have become greater, they also bear greater pressure.
Wang Mo's current research direction is in the direction of algebraic geometry, because his teacher Professor Deligne is a master mathematician in this field, so under the influence of his teacher, he naturally also goes in this direction.
The research direction of their lineage, if pushed forward, must be pushed to Professor Deligne's teacher Grothendieck, as the most outstanding founder of algebraic geometry in the 20th century. After two generations of research by their teachers and students,
In fact, it is difficult to produce big results in the current direction of algebraic geometry, because it is already very mature.
But Wang Mo still resolutely chose this direction, and his current research direction is algebraic geometric topology, launching an attack on the world's difficult Hodge conjecture.
Becoming an official is just the first step, and maybe it’s just the first step. If Wang Mo produces results, the honor he will receive is unimaginable. If he completely proves Hodge’s conjecture, then he will also
He can be called a master of his generation.
In the second year after Dr. Wang Mo graduated and became a professor, he happened to meet Lin Shaoqi at the door of the hotel while attending a mathematician conference in Philadelphia.
Meeting an acquaintance in a foreign country, although to Wang Mo she was the enemy who caused him and Ling Xiangqian to break up, if it weren't for herself and Ling Xiangqian, this ending wouldn't have happened.
When Lin Shaoqi saw Wang Mo, she was also a little embarrassed. At this time, she had graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music and was much more mature than before. She thought that the ridiculous things she did to Wang Mo before coming to the United States were Lin Shaoqi's.
I am also a little embarrassed.
"What a coincidence, long time no see." Lin Shaoqi was the first to say hello.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that the first acquaintance I met in the United States was you." Wang Mo said with a sigh.
