A 19-year-old clerk who only studied for nine years and was an apprentice actually published a paper in the authoritative national science magazine, which caused a strong response in Jintan Town and a great sensation in Jintan Middle School. President Han Daishou smiled at the magazine and was deeply impressed by the profundity of the paper on China. Since then, he has shown great respect for China. Several math teachers look at Hua's paper like flowers in the fog, and they don't understand it, and some don't even know what's going on. It turned out that they looked down on Hua, interrupted Hua when discussing math problems, and laughed at Hua many times. There's nothing to say about this. On the surface, it is neither too hot nor too cold, but in my heart, I have to admire Hua's talent.
Chinese fellow villagers were very surprised and proud when they heard that their son's words were printed into books in Shanghai. He never dared to think what his son could do by reading "gobbledygook". Although I don't know anything about advanced algebra, geometry and calculus, I still want to read the magazine sent by my son and read it carefully, so I can't put it down. My eyes narrowed into a crack, and he said to himself, "My son is promising and is a face to me. Good son, I won't let you do business again. Just play with math with your heart! " He carefully cut a piece of yellow papyrus on the ledger and sandwiched it between two pages of his son's article in the magazine, asking his son to give him the magazine and put it on the counter. In the future, whenever customers come to buy things, they will always pull people to chat for a while, whether they are in a hurry or not. After talking about other topics for a while, it's time to get to the point. This topic is to push the magazine to others and tell them that it is a book written by his son, which was selected by a famous university in Shanghai and printed for students all over the country. Whenever I talk about this topic, Hua Laoxiang's face turns red and she tells people the greatness of this book with special attention. Of course, the guests were all surprised, and all of them sincerely praised Hua's hometown: "I didn't expect your son from Hua's hometown to have such great ability." We saw that he was fascinated by those' heavenly books' since he was a child, and we knew that he would succeed in the future. Today, sure enough, isn't this a big climate? " "It's a great honor for you to have such a complicated son." Mr. Hua said the above words before letting the customers go. The older people are, the more they want their children to be successful and better than other children. A child can be like a child and have some ability, which is the greatest comfort to himself. Besides, Hua is still an only child. Chinese fellow villagers have other meanings in their hearts. His son is lame and seems to be inferior. Now that he has achieved something, I hope people will envy him and strive for a comeback. This contrast makes Chinese villagers particularly surprised.
Teacher Wang Weike was very happy to learn that his students had published valuable papers. After reading the disciple's article carefully, some people were surprised. He thought, to be fair, he couldn't write such a good article. Hua's knowledge level is by no means lower than himself, even higher than himself. Wang Weike is sincerely happy for China and proud of having such a disciple. Teachers are great because they all hope that "shine on you is better than blue", without reservation or jealousy. With this happy mood, Wang Weike filed a brush and wrote a letter to China:
Hua, my brother:
I was glad to hear that the famous book was published, and I read it carefully. My stupid brother was deeply moved by the precision of his profound argument and the simplicity of his writing, and he felt quite ashamed. My brother's knowledge progress is really a three-day trip, which should be impressive. Brother Yu is proud to have my brother, happy for my brother and happy for himself. There is no limit to learning the sea, the mystery of cutting-edge mathematics. I think my brother will make some breakthroughs and achievements in the near future. Don't be complacent, persevere, and live up to my silly brother's eagerness and the high hopes of my fellow villagers. I sent you a copy of Shanghai Yi Xue Magazine (1926). The article in it seems to be beneficial to my brother. ...
Hua couldn't help crying after reading the teacher's letter. It was Mr. Wang Weike who guided himself to the road of learning mathematics and laid a solid foundation for his patient guidance. Today's achievement is really taught by the teacher, and it should be attributed to the teacher. Especially for the name "my brother", I am even more grateful. Teacher Wang Weike is only ten years older than himself, but after all, he is a teacher, a principal and a celebrity in Jintan Town. It's really shameful to be so close. Hua deeply realized the teacher's love for himself.
In the magazine sent by Wang Weike, Hua saw an article signed by Su Jiaju, entitled "Solution of Algebraic quintic Equation", which aroused Hua's interest. Su Jiaju is a famous mathematician and university professor in China and has made great achievements in many fields of mathematics. More than ten monographs have been published, which has great influence in the domestic mathematics field. Hua has also read Su Jiaju's books and has great respect for Su Jiaju. The famous mathematician's article will certainly attract attention. The title of the article is also very innovative, because the solution of quintic equation has long been conclusive, and Su Jiaju put forward a new method, which is undoubtedly a pioneering work in the field of mathematics. How could Hua not pay attention? It used to be known that the roots of algebraic equations with more than three degrees cannot be expressed by the four operations and roots of coefficients, which was proved by the great mathematician Abel in 18 16. Su Jiaju knows about it. He published this article because he thought he had got a solvable "proof" and found no mistakes.
Hua carefully studied Su Jiaju's article and repeatedly calculated his method. Hua knew Abel theorem at that time, but Su Jiaju's method was inconsistent with Abel theorem. Therefore, study hard to learn Su Jiaju's method. However, after repeated research and calculus reasoning, he unexpectedly found that Su Jiaju's theory was seriously wrong, and Hua couldn't believe his conclusion. How can such a famous mathematician's article be wrong? Is there a problem with your own deduction? Science can't be sloppy, and China, which has always been rigorous and realistic, has carefully demonstrated it. Finally, he proved that Su Jiaju's theory was wrong. I am a fledgling and unknown little person. Is it proper to point out the mistakes of famous mathematicians? What should we do? China has been engaged in ideological struggle for many days.
At this time, China's stubbornness came up again. He believes that science is serious, and no matter who makes mistakes, great mathematicians are sometimes thoughtless. A wise man loses when he worries, but a fool gains when he worries. It should be reasonable to point out the mistakes of great mathematicians. Therefore, Hua began to conceive and refute Su Jiaju's paper. In less than half a month, I wrote an article entitled "Why the solution of Su Jiaju's quintic algebraic equation can't be established", pointedly pointing out that Su Wen's calculation error of a determinant of order 12 led to the failure of the whole method. This article challenging famous mathematicians was paid attention to by Science magazine, and was published in the second issue of Science magazine (Volume 1930) soon.
In just a few months, Hua published two papers in national journals, which undoubtedly caused a sensation in Jintan Town and Jintan Middle School. For Hua, the most valuable thing is that this article pointing out Su Jiaju's mistakes was lucky enough to be seen by Professor Tsinghua University, the head of the Department of Mathematics and the famous mathematician Xiong Qinglai.
Department of Mathematics, Tsinghua University, Xiong Qinglai is correcting graduate papers. The school staff sent him a science magazine. Xiong qinglai should read every issue of Science carefully. When he saw the new magazine, he put down the newspaper in his hand, grabbed the magazine and flipped through it. An eye-catching title jumped into his eyes, "The reason why Su Jiaju's algebraic quintic equation solution can't be established". Who questions Su Jiaju's point of view? Suddenly caught his attention and couldn't help but look at it carefully. Xiong qinglai knows Su Jiaju, and he is quite familiar with Su Jiaju's research results. They are all influential mathematicians in China. During reading, Xiong Qinglai was deeply impressed by the detail, conclusion and clarity of the article. He believes that the viewpoint of the article is correct, the author's mathematical level should be quite high, and the scientific attitude and courage to point out the mistakes of famous artists are also appreciated. With this in mind, Xiong Qinglai was anxious to see the author's signature: Hua. Hua! What about Hua? Which university is he a professor at? Which institute of mathematics is the researcher from? How come I don't remember at all? In Xiong Qing's view, people who can write such articles are by no means idle people, but should be well-known figures in mathematics. As an old-timer in the national mathematics field, Xiong Qinglai is familiar with the famous figures in the domestic mathematics field. Why doesn't he know this Hua? He thinks that Hua is not only an extraordinary genius, but also a very solid foundation and a person with great achievements and prospects. Hua's name was deeply imprinted on Xiong Qinglai's mind.
Xiong qinglai took a magazine and went to other teaching and research sections to ask if anyone knew Hua. Several teachers here said they didn't. The next day, he went to ask other teachers. There happened to be a teacher in Jintan Town, Tang Peijing. He knows that there is a Hua in Jintan town, and he has also heard that Hua studied hard and was teased. Tang Peijing told Xiong Qinglai what he knew about China. Xiong Qinglai was deeply moved by the young man's spirit of assiduous study of knowledge and deeply sympathized with China's experience. He also appreciates Hua's mathematical genius and courage to challenge big shots. Intuition made Xiong Qing confirm that he was a talented person and a young man destined to achieve something.
Xiong Qinglai, who always cherishes talents and pays attention to cultivating rising stars, immediately wrote a letter to Hua, and sincerely invited Hua to meet him in Tsinghua campus.
A letter from a famous professor in Tsinghua University caused quite a stir in China. The old man from hometown Hua was very happy to know the weight of this letter. He stared at his son with tears in his eyes, and he had a special taste in his heart Hua has heard the name of Xiong Qinglai for a long time, and Xiong Qinglai has long been the object of his worship. He never dreamed that one of his articles could attract the attention of great mathematicians, and his excitement and relief were beyond words. He has long been eager to listen to the teacher face to face, just because he is a nobody and is not qualified to see a big professor. This is a godsend. I must go to Tsinghua Campus, Beiping, and ask my husband some questions that I still don't understand. However, Hua's hometown doesn't seem to believe that a poor family with a small door will fly out of a golden phoenix, and there will be a big shot in the backward Jintan town, which has never had any powerful people. Besides, if you have money in your pocket, how can you afford the trip to Peiping? Hua also knew that his family couldn't afford the money, and his good wish to visit a university professor was like a soap bubble, which was quickly dashed. Hua couldn't raise the travel expenses, so he had to write an apology letter to Xiong Qinglai in tears. When the letter was put into the mailbox, Hua murmured: the opportunity to visit the famous teacher is lost forever!
