Chen Jingrun, a native of Minhou, Fujian, is a famous modern mathematician in my country. He has achieved new research results in integers in circles, integers in spheres, Waring's problem, three-dimensional divisors, etc. His paper "Minimum Prime Numbers in Arithmetic Series" has reached a new level in the world. Especially in the research on "Goldbach's conjecture", which is recognized as the crown jewel of mathematics, his paper on the simplified proof of (1+2) caused a sensation in the mathematics community at home and abroad and won honors for our country.
Chen Jingrun was born in a family of clerks. The father hoped that the birth of this child would bring "nourishing" days to the family, so he gave him an auspicious name.
Young Chen Jingrun loves mathematics, and his math scores are always among the best in the class. He is not good at talking and does not like to socialize. He always feels ashamed in front of those neatly dressed and laughing classmates. Only when he was in class and doing homework, did he rank himself among the dozens of classmates in the class. Only at this time did his classmates look at him with admiration.
Once in a mathematics class, the teacher told a story: 200 years ago, a German mathematician named Goldbach proposed a conjecture: Any even number greater than 2 must be expressed as two The sum of prime numbers. For example, 4 = 2 + 2, 6 = 3 + 3, 8 = 3 + 5,... Although Goliath himself has verified many even numbers and all of them are correct, he himself cannot prove it logically. He wrote to the famous mathematics master Euler for advice. Euler spent many years of energy and could not prove it until his death. Since then, this world problem has attracted thousands of mathematicians, but no one has been able to solve it. Therefore, it is called the crown jewel of mathematics. Since hearing this story, Goldbach's conjecture has often lingered in Chen Jingrun's mind. He often wonders: Who will get that pearl? Chinese or European? It should be the Chinese who have solved this difficult problem. He secretly made up his mind and studied mathematics even more vigorously from then on, sometimes to the point of obsession.
One day, my mother poured rice into the pot, added water for him to watch, and then went to the street to buy vegetables.
Jingrun agreed to his mother without raising his head, but continued to read. His thoughts were completely immersed in his homework, and he didn't even smell the rice getting burnt. When my mother came back from the market, half of the pot of rice had been burned to black charcoal.
Chen Jingrun not only studied hard, but also used his spare time to read widely and enrich his knowledge. He became a famous reading fan in the class, and his classmates affectionately gave him a nickname - "booker".
Precisely because Chen Jingrun has the ambition to reach the peak of science and the spirit of hard work, his boyhood dream finally became a reality. He rose to the sky of the Kingdom of Mathematics like a bright star. .
