1, Qiu Chengtong, originally from Jiaoling County, Guangdong Province, 1949 was born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, and moved to Hong Kong with his parents in the same year. He is a Chinese-American, an internationally renowned mathematician, the first Chinese winner of the Fields Medal, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Taiwan Academia Sinica, a foreign academician of the China Academy of Sciences, and an honorary academician of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences. He is currently Professor Bowen of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Professor WilliamCasperGraustein of Harvard University, Director of the Center for Mathematical Sciences in Qiu Chengtong, Tsinghua University, and Dean of the Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics.

2. 1969 Graduated from Department of Mathematics, Chung Chi College, Chinese University of Hong Kong; 197 1 received a doctorate in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley (under Chen Shengshen); 1974- 1987 Professor of Mathematics, Stanford University, Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, and University of California, San Diego; 1987 Professor at Harvard University; 1993 was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences; From 65438 to 0994, he became an academician of Taiwan Academia Sinica and a foreign academician of China Academy of Sciences. In the same year, he became the director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 2003, he became a professor at the Bowen College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. 20 13 Professor of Physics Department of Harvard University.

3. Qiu Chengtong has won the veblen Prize in Geometry (198 1), Fields Prize (1982), MacArthur Prize (1985), Crawford Prize (1994) and National Science Award (/kloc). He was the first China native to win the Fields Medal, the highest prize in international mathematics, and the second China native to win the wolf prize in mathematics after Chen Shengshen.

4. Qiu Chengtong proved Calabi conjecture, positive mass conjecture, etc. Is the founder of the discipline of geometric analysis. Calabi-Hill manifold named after him is the basic concept of string theory in physics, which has made important contributions to the development of differential geometry and mathematical physics.
