It is considered as the Nobel Prize in international mathematics and the highest honor for mathematicians. Named after Canadian mathematician john fields, this prize is awarded to mathematicians under 40 who have made outstanding achievements. The prize is awarded every four years, with no more than four winners each time, and each person can get a medal made of pure gold and a bonus. The medal is engraved with the head of the Greek mathematician Archimedes, and the motto of "beyond the limits of mankind, be the master of the universe" is engraved in Latin.

Mr. Qiu Chengtong won the Fields Medal in 1982 for his outstanding contributions in the fields of differential equations, Calabi conjecture in algebraic geometry, positive mass conjecture in general relativity and Ampere's loop equations in real and complex parts. He is the first person from China to win the so-called "Nobel Prize in Mathematics".

2. There is a "Su Qing Bu Prize" in the international mathematics field. At the annual meeting of the Council held in 2003, the International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics established the "Su Prize" named after the late famous mathematician Su, aiming at rewarding individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the application of mathematics to economic take-off and human development. This is the first international mathematics prize named after a mathematician from China. The International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, held every four years, is the highest-level congress for industrial and applied mathematicians.
