Surprisingly, however, Liu Hanqing didn't live the life that everyone thought, but it surprised people. He is over 50 years old, living on the monthly subsistence allowance in 400 yuan.
Is it Shang? No, he devoted his whole life to the cause of mathematics that he loved. This reminds me of the moon and sixpence. I think he is strickland in China and paul gauguin in the field of mathematics.
gifted
Liu Hanqing was born in a small mountain village in Jiangsu Province. Since he was a child, he has shown an unusual talent for mathematics. When he was in junior high school, he mastered calculus only in universities. This can't help but attract the attention of the teacher. His classmates and family all think that he is a genius.
His parents even took him for an intelligence test, and his IQ was really high. At that time, he was not only good at math, but also admitted to the building materials major of Harbin Institute of Technology with the first grade in the county.
In the 1980s, not to mention undergraduates, even those admitted to junior colleges were rare. Not to mention being admitted to a popular major that emphasizes books. Moreover, at that time, the country was assigned by the package, and the work was still the unit at the beginning of the national character.
At that time, students who focused on seeking roots are now at least leaders of government agencies and units.
So he took the hope of the whole family and the expectation of the whole village to realize his dream of studying. The family and the whole village hope that he can bring glory to the whole family and the whole village with his own ability. I think this is human nature and reasonable.
As soon as you enter the "number" door, it is as deep as the sea.
The advantage of focusing on books is that you can make contacts that are of great help to the future. The big platform of the school will become your new identity and all kinds of cutting-edge academic technologies.
By chance, Liu Hanqing read Chen Jingrun's exposition on Goldmacher conjecture. Since then, the fire in his heart has been lit.
As for why he didn't graduate in the end. Because he thinks his major can't make him really happy. In fact, he doesn't like architecture. His mathematical genius kept him wandering in front of the door to solve Gardmark's conjecture.
Victory is always in sight, but it will never arrive. It's like a farmer hanging his favorite food in front of the donkey in order to motivate him to pull the mill. Nothing can motivate people to keep trying except easy success.
So Liu Hanqing completely gave up the study of professional courses and devoted himself to mathematics research. Considering his situation, the school gave him a chance to rebuild for one year, but he also gave up. As a result, he left Harbin Institute of Technology and returned to his hometown in the countryside, which made many people fall below the glasses.
I don't regret that my belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard for Iraq.
When the reporter found Liu Hanqing, who was over 500 years old, to understand the situation, he found that he lived in a dilapidated tile house. The house is not his, but his brother subsidizes his living. On the chopping board, his mother gave him the Dragon Boat Festival jiaozi and some food cooked for him.
He doesn't cook or do farm work. His mother cooks him three meals a day. He still devotes himself to studying mathematics every day.
Don't think he is lazy, he is not. He only sleeps for two hours every day and spends the rest of his time studying. Sometimes you even need sleeping pills to fall asleep.
Over the years, he has also made some achievements. His 15-page research report published on the Internet was queried by Swiss mathematicians, but it fell into the sea later.
Academician Pan once noticed his research, but pointed out that there was an argument to prove on the fifth page of Liu Hanqing's paper. If this question is not proved, the later proof will be meaningless. After he knew it, he never asked the authority to evaluate his achievements.
But continue to study hard. Just as strickland will burn his works in the end, his works can be recognized by himself.
He did many other jobs, but he didn't stick to them in the end. Perhaps it was this experience that made him understand what his world was like.
Although our family, folks and even before, we are all sighing for him, but I think he can persist until now because of his love for mathematics.
For a lifetime, it is actually a success to be able to calm down and do what you think is right. He just hasn't succeeded yet. I hope to hear the news of his success one day in the future, and then his life-long efforts will bear fruit.
ideal and reality
Strickland in The Moon and Sixpence is an employee of a securities company. He has a rich life and a beautiful wife, but he is a little greedy for vanity. He has two children and lives a rich and happy life.
Suddenly ran away from home and abandoned his wife and children, not because he had an affair, but because he painted for his dreams. But his works have not been recognized by the public. Only a poor painter takes his work as a standard.
Leaving his decent job, his life began to be down and out. But he didn't give up his dream after suffering from poverty. Later, he went to an island and married an indigenous woman. This aboriginal woman has been taking care of his life.
Finally, he created a huge mural in his life and asked his indigenous wife to burn all his murals after his death. His wife did so and burned all the murals.
The prototype of Mao Mu's works is the French impressionist painter paul gauguin. History is always strikingly similar, whether it is literary works or real life. Art always comes from life and is higher than life.
Today, there is a realistic version of strickland in China. I don't want to judge his real life. I just want to look at Liu Hanqing's life from the perspective of dreams and reality.
Perhaps in the eyes of the secular, he is a failure. But from the perspective of pursuing dreams, he is a real warrior. Perhaps, at some point in the future, his research results will be recognized.
Perhaps, in the end, he will burn his research results, because he doesn't need the evaluation of the world, he is his hero.
The balance between reality and dreams requires us to practice it all our lives. Some people are lucky. They found their hobbies when they were very young, and they can get fame and fortune in real life from their hobbies. There are also some people who give up their lifelong dreams for fame and fortune.
There are also people like Liu Hanqing who give up all fame and fortune for their dreams. I always believe that existence is reasonable. No matter what kind of life we live, let us die with the passion of pursuing our dreams. There may not be a rainbow after the storm, but there must be the fragrance of the earth, which is worth living.
