Who would have thought? Oriental mathematical elves? Li Guoping is one of the founders of many disciplines in China, such as function theory, computer science and technology, and an educator, poet and mathematician. He turned out to be a legend who came out of an extremely barren mountain village in Shunfeng County, Guangdong Province.

Li Guoping grew up in Huanghua Village, shatian town. Only 65,438+0,000 people live in this village. It is such a remote and barren mountain village that more than 30 experts and professors have been born. This amazing phenomenon makes Huanghua Village worthy of the name? Professor village? .
In this professor village, the most admirable thing is that both father and son are professors' families, which is exactly what Li Guoping said. What kind of legend did the Li family have? Cold door? So much? Your son? ?
Senior citizens of Li Guoping
Father and son are the pioneers of Professor Li's family. Li Guoping was born in19101015. At the age of admission, because the family is really poor, it is impossible to provide him with better reading conditions. Li Guoping could only study in a private school in the village before he was 1 1. His uncle sent him to Nanhai, Guangzhou.
At this time, Li Guoping has reached the age of junior high school. Because he has been studying in the countryside, he can't enjoy the high-quality educational resources that children in the city can enjoy. Therefore, his grades in all subjects are far less excellent than those of other children.
What's the score of Li Guoping? Poor? To what extent? He only got 15 in math in the junior high school exam. However, it is such a teenager with only 15 in mathematics who has become the future? Oriental math wizard? .
Academician Li Guoping
Li Guoping can become a mathematical giant in China, and all the honors come from his first math teacher, Mr. Liu Junyi. Whenever someone praises Li Guoping's proud achievements in the field of international mathematics, he always tells others that he is very grateful to Mr. Liu Junyi for giving him a copy of "Algebra in the Wind" when his math score is only 15.
It is this extra-curricular math book, coupled with Mr. Wang's encouragement and praise, that makes him really fall in love with math. Since then, he has been more diligent and self-disciplined in studying mathematics, and even became interested in mathematics.
Hometown of Li Guoping
Since then, Li Guoping's life has been closely linked with mathematics. 1933, graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, Sun Yat-sen University. From 65438 to 0934, he went to Japan to study and obtained a postgraduate degree from Imperial University of Tokyo. 1937, Li Guoping, who had just returned to China, was sent to work in the Institute of Mathematics in Paris.
1939, when the motherland was in chaos and riddled with holes, Li Guoping chose to return to China and became a professor at Sichuan University. 1940 was hired as a professor at Wuhan University. From Leshan to Luojiashan in Wuhan University, Professor Li Guoping devoted his life to the mathematical research of Wuhan University and China.
Li Guoping's letter to the children.
In the memory of Li Guoping's son, although his father was an academician of China Academy of Sciences, he regarded money and reputation as dirt. His fourth son, Li Gongzhen, once wrote an article "Deeply miss my father, Academician Li Guoping". In his reminiscences, Li Guoping's suit and coat have faded, and there are always several big patches on his trousers. Holding a pipe in his left hand and an umbrella in his right hand, he goes to work in a hurry every day.
The dark blue cloak worn outside the suit will always fly with my father's hurried steps. In Li Gongzhen's eyes, the image of his father in a hurry is like that of Sherlock Holmes in a hurry to solve a case.

Take his father as an example. Li Guoping's five sons are the best. Li Dehua, the eldest son, inherited his father's footsteps and graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Wuhan University. Now he is a second-class professor and doctoral supervisor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and concurrently serves as the director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence. The second son, Li, used to be the director of financial planning department in Wuhan Communications Vocational College.
The third son, Li Xingjian, also graduated from Wuhan University, but he is not a math major. Because he was very interested in electronic information engineering, he became an electronic information engineer. The fourth son, Li Gongzhen, was admitted to the History Department of Wuhan University by himself and became a professor of history. The fifth son, Li, works in Huazhong Normal University. Like his eldest brother, he inherited his father's mantle and became the dean of the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
Zisi Li Gongzhen
Father and son are all professors, thanks to Li Guoping's pure education and enlightenment to children since childhood. In the eyes of Li Guoping's sons, father is a loving father, the spiritual pillar of this family and their life mentor.
In particular, the five brothers can become professors in their respective fields. One of the reasons is that they firmly remember what their father taught them when they were studying. Li Guoping told his son: If you want to learn well, you shouldn't be afraid of poverty, loneliness and fame. The five sons who always keep these three points in mind have finally achieved achievements no less than their parents.

From the life of Li Guoping to the life of Li Guoping's sons, there is a saying that the ancients often said:? Parents love their children deeply? . Li Guoping was born in a peasant family. He can only rely on the teacher's teaching and his own interest to win the first place in the world mathematics field. His five sons have made such achievements because of the teaching and enlightenment of their young fathers.
