Hua, male, 19 10, from Jintan, Jiangsu. 1924 Hua, who was only 14 years old, worked as a clerk in the small grocery store run by his father after graduating from junior high school in Jintan Middle School because of his poor family. His middle school teacher appreciated his talent in mathematics and encouraged him to continue to teach himself mathematics. At the age of 0/9 in China/Kloc-,he suddenly contracted typhoid fever and left a disabled leg.
However, he is not pessimistic and discouraged, but stubbornly studies hard. Once, he found a mistake in a paper by a famous professor, and a numerical value was not calculated correctly. So he wrote his own calculation results and opinions and posted them in Shanghai Science Journal. 1930 This article was published in Science magazine when Hua was only 20 years old. It is this paper that completely changed the road of life after China.

Xiong qinglai, then head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, saw this paper and greatly appreciated it. He asked around which university Hua was a professor. Everyone said they didn't know.
It happened that a teacher in the math department knew Hua. He told Xiong Qinglai that Hua was not a university professor, but a self-taught young man. Xiong qinglai is eager for talent and doesn't care about academic qualifications. He immediately asked Hua to work in Tsinghua University.
193 1 year, the staff of Tsinghua University took photos sent by Hua and went to Qianmen Railway Station in Beijing to meet Hua from Zhejiang. Hua, the future great mathematician, walked into the Tsinghua campus with a broken leg and a cane. At first, he worked as an assistant in the department of mathematics, managing and sending letters and typing, and keeping books and materials.
