What happened to the math genius who would rather serve dishes in America than go back to Peking University as a professor?
In fact, the development of the motherland needs talents from all walks of life to promote it. Therefore, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has always attached great importance to education and constantly optimized the quality of education, hoping to cultivate more outstanding talents through education and promote the progress of the country and the whole society. But in the process of realizing such a wish, in fact, there are also some small regrets constantly appearing. Many people may not think that the math genius who once served dishes in America would rather go back to Peking University as a professor.

The foreign student's name is Zhang. 1955 was born in Shanghai. His family environment is superior, and his parents are highly educated. Therefore, Zhang's growth atmosphere is still relatively high-quality, and Zhang has shown a characteristic since he was a child, that is, he is very interested in mathematics. After the college entrance examination system was restored, Zhang decisively applied for the Peking University Mathematics Department. However, Zhang did well in Peking University after receiving the letter of admission, and later served as the president of the Student Union in Peking University. He can be found in the competitions of schools, provinces and famous universities all over the country. For example, speech, mathematics, basketball and other aspects have created good results.

After graduating from Peking University, Zhang left a deep impression on his later classmates. Later, students from Peking University gave Zhang a nickname. Because every time he gets academic grades or distributes competition results, Zhang's grades can not only rank first, but also be left out of the second and a half blocks forever. Zhang is also a promising student representative in the eyes of various professors in Peking University. Many professors have studied many difficult problems about mathematics, algebra and geometry with him. According to this development track, Zhang's future is bright.

Until 1985, American universities also sent many representatives to visit Peking University. In this opportunity, Zhang met Mo Zongjian from the United States and has been studying for a doctorate with Mo Zongjian since then. Although they have gained more fame in the study of algebra and geometry, the contradiction between teachers and students is also intensifying. They have their own opinions in the field of mathematical research and are unwilling to make up. There is an unwritten rule in the United States that if there is no tutor to write letters of recommendation to students, it will be difficult to achieve smoother development in society.

Because Zhang also disdains to solve the contradiction with his mentor Mo Zongjian, many problems have arisen. For example, Zhang didn't get his doctorate until he was 37. Later, he didn't get the recommendation letter from his tutor, and he always ran into a wall at work. You know, Zhang is regarded as a mathematical genius in China, but no foreign institution is willing to take him in. This gap is still relatively large. Since then, Zhang has also started his efforts for seven years. In order to make a living, Zhang once worked part-time as a food delivery waiter in some fast food restaurants at the lowest valley, such as Chinese restaurant and KFC.

Until 20 13, Zhang finally contributed many articles with new ways of thinking, and published the conjecture of twin prime numbers in the foreign mathematical yearbook, which opened his reputation and gained a firm foothold in the international mathematical community. Since then, Mr. Zhang has become more and more famous internationally. For example, Mr. Zhang attended the 20 14 International Congress of Mathematicians. 20 18 Mr. Zhang went to the United States again and won the lifetime achievement award of the Asian Institute of Engineers.

However, we can't find out why we didn't want to go back to our hometown even if we were willing to be waiters in the United States at that low point. Everyone has his own choice, as long as you don't forget your initiative.
