Specific information

■ Resume:

1933 was born in Minhou, Fujian on May 22nd. Born in poverty, he studied hard and had a soft spot for mathematics when he was in primary and secondary schools. He did exercises whenever he had time and became a "little math fan" at school. He is inarticulate, sincere and kind, never cares about personal gains and losses, and has devoted his life experience to the cause of mathematics. Without graduating from high school, he was admitted to Xiamen University with the same academic qualifications. 1953 graduated from the Mathematics Department of Xiamen University. From 65438 to 0957, he entered the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences and studied number theory under the guidance of Professor Hua. He has been a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, a member of the academic committee, a professor at Guiyang University for Nationalities, Henan University, Qingdao University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Fujian Normal University, a member of the Mathematics Discipline Group of the State Science and Technology Commission, and the editor-in-chief of Mathematics Quarterly. Mainly engaged in the research of analytic number theory, and achieved international leading results in the research of Goldbach conjecture. This achievement is called "Chen Theorem" internationally and is widely cited.

■ Main results:

1On June 7th, 742, German mathematician Goldbach put forward an unproven mathematical conjecture that "any even number can represent the sum of two prime numbers", abbreviated as "1+ 1". This conjecture is called Goldbach conjecture. China people opened the door of Goldbach's conjecture with new methods and won the championship, which attracted worldwide attention. This man is the first person in the world to conquer Goldbach's conjecture-Chen Jingrun.

Chen Jingrun not only overcame this problem, but also deeply studied and discussed the relationship between combinatorial mathematics and modern economic management, cutting-edge science and technology and human beings. He has published more than 70 scientific papers in newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad, and has written books such as Interesting Talks on Mathematics and Combinatorial Mathematics.

Chen Jingrun has made many great achievements in the research field of analytic number theory, and won the first prize of National Natural Science Award, Heli Fund Award, China Mathematics Award and many other awards. He is a deputy to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth National People's Congress. He is the author of Anecdotes in Mathematics and Combinatorial Mathematics.

■ The Fall of Superstars:

1On April 27th, 984, Chen Jingrun was knocked down by a speeding bicycle while crossing the road, and his head landed, seriously injured. To make matters worse, Chen Jingrun, who was already in poor health, suffered almost fatal trauma. He came out of the hospital, his pale face was sometimes blue-gray, and before long, he finally induced Parkinson's syndrome.

1March, 996 19, the famous mathematician Chen Jingrun was hospitalized for a long time due to illness and died at the age of 63 after being rescued.

His marriage

The publication of Xu Chi's "Goldbach Conjecture" was as shocking as a whirlwind, shocking the Chinese and foreign mathematical circles. Comments at home and abroad say: "Chen Jingrun has become a major landscape in China's scientific spring". He was invited to attend the National Science Conference, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping cordially received him. Chen Jingrun was in poor health at that time, and Comrade Xiaoping took good care of him. After the meeting, Chen Jingrun was sent to Gao Qian Ward of 309 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. His arrival caused a sensation in the whole hospital, and the leaders of the hospital warmly received him. Doctors and nurses revere the world's first mathematical sage. 1977 1 1 You Kun, who was sent from Wuhan Military Region to 309 Hospital for further study, was dragged by his companions to see China, a famous figure. This is really fate. In the past, people in Chen Jingrun didn't even mention women's names and didn't even say a word. Chen Jingrun, who is nearly half a century old, saw Youkun this time. His eyes lit up and he warmly greeted Youkun and invited them to come in and sit down. Later, Kun was sent to the ward in Chen Jingrun as a doctor on duty. There are more opportunities for such contact. Every time Kun Yi appears, Chen Jingrun is particularly happy. One day, Chen Jingrun asked Youkun with concern, where does he live? Do you have a family or a boyfriend? When Yu Kun was unprepared, she sincerely said, "No, no, it's still early." Later, Yu Kun also paid close attention to the China mathematician, and they fell in love. They got married with the help of the organization. Since then, Chen Jingrun, a mathematician known as "idiot" and "eccentric", has a warm home.

Random talk column

Chen Jingrun doesn't like going to the park or shopping, but he likes studying. When I study, I often forget to eat and sleep.

One day, Chen Jingrun touched his head during lunch. Oh, his hair is too long. He should get a haircut quickly, or people will think he is a girl when they see him. So he left work and ran to the barber shop.

There are so many people in the barber shop that everyone cuts their hair next to each other. Chen Jingrun's brand is the small brand number 38. He thought it was too early for me to turn now. Time is so precious that I can't waste it. He hurried out of the barber shop, found a quiet place to sit down, then took out a small notebook from his pocket and recited new words in a foreign language. He recited it for a while and suddenly remembered that when he was reading a foreign language in the morning, there was one place he didn't understand. You must understand what you don't understand. This is Chen Jingrun's temper. He looked at his watch. It's only half past twelve. He thought: check in the library first, and then come back for a haircut. He stood up and left. Who knows, not long after he left, it was his turn to get a haircut. The barber's uncle shouted, "Number 38! Who is number thirty-eight? Come and get a haircut! " Think about it. Chen Jingrun is reading in the library. Can he hear the barber's uncle calling number 38?

After a long time, Chen Jingrun found something he didn't understand in the library, and then went to the barber shop happily. But he passed by the foreign language reading room, and there were all kinds of new books, which were really nice. He ran in and read another book. It was not until the sun went down that he remembered to cut his hair. As soon as he touched his pocket, the little sign No.38 was still lying well. But what's the use of his coming to the barber shop? This number is outdated.

As soon as Chen Jingrun entered the library, it was like falling into a honey pot, and he couldn't bear to leave. Yes, another day, Chen Jingrun had breakfast, took two steamed buns and a pickle, and went to the library.

Chen Jingrun found the quietest place in the library and read carefully. He stayed until noon and felt a little hungry, so he took out a steamed bun from his pocket and was still reading while eating.

"Ding Lingling ..." The bell rang, and the librarian shouted, "It's time to get off work, please leave the library!" The somebody else all gone, but Chen Jingrun didn't hear, or 1 vigorously in reading.

The librarian thought that everyone had left the library, so he locked the library door and went home.

Time passed quietly and it was getting dark. Chen Jingrun looked out of the window and said to himself, What a strange weather it is today! It's sunny for a while and cloudy for a while. He pulled down the switch wire of the light and sat down to read. Watching, he suddenly stood up. It turned out that he read a book all day and began to understand. Now, he will go back to the dormitory and continue to do the problems he left unfinished yesterday.

Chen Jingrun put the book away and went out. The library was silent, and there was no sound at all. Hey, where's the janitor? Why doesn't anyone come to read? Chen Jingrun looked at his watch. Ah, it's past eight o'clock in the evening. He pushed open the locked door; He shouted at the door: "Please open the door! Please open the door! " But no one answered.

In normal times, Chen Jingrun will go back to his seat and continue reading until the next morning. But, not today! He's going back to the dormitory to do that unfinished problem!

He went to the telephone and called the office. But there was no answer, only a beep. He dialed this number several times, but no one answered. What shall we do? At this moment, he remembered the secretary of the Party Committee and dialed the telephone immediately.

Chen Jingrun? The party secretary was surprised when he received the phone call. He was overjoyed, looked into it and said with a smile, "Chen Jingrun! Chen Jingrun! You have worked hard, you are really a good comrade. "

The party secretary immediately sent some comrades to the librarian. The door of the library opened and Chen Jingrun said to the librarian, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Thank you, thank you! " As he spoke, he ran down the stairs and returned to his dormitory.

He turned on the light and began to solve the problem at once.

Chen Jingrun and Goldbach conjecture

When Chen Jingrun was studying in Huaying Middle School in Fuzhou, he was lucky enough to listen to a learned math teacher in Tsinghua University. He told his classmates a world math problem: "About 200 years ago, a German mathematician named Goldbach proposed that' any even number can represent the sum of two prime numbers', or 1+L for short. He didn't prove it all his life, so he wrote to Euler, a mathematician in St. Petersburg, Russia, and asked him to help prove the problem. After receiving the letter, Euler began to calculate. He tried to prove it to the death. Later, Goldbach passed away with a lifetime of regret, but left this mathematical problem behind. For more than 200 years, Goldbach's conjecture has attracted many mathematicians, but it has never been a result, and it has become a major unsolved case in mathematics. " The teacher also made an image metaphor here. The queen of natural science is mathematics, and Goldbach conjecture is the jewel in the queen's crown! This fascinating story left a deep impression on Chen Jingrun, and Goldbach's conjecture attracted Chen Jingrun like a magnet. From then on, Chen Jingrun began the arduous process of picking the crown jewels. ......

1953, Chen Jingrun graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Xiamen University, and once stayed there. He works as a librarian in the library. In addition to sorting out books and materials, he is also responsible for correcting homework for students in the mathematics department. Despite the tight time and busy work, he insisted on studying math science. Chen Jingrun has a keen interest in mathematical theory. He used all available time to systematically read the mathematical monographs of Hua, a famous mathematician in China. While continuing to learn English, Chen Jingrun learned Russian, German, French, Japanese, Italian and Spanish, so as to read foreign materials directly and master the latest information. Learning these national languages is an amazing breakthrough for a mathematician, but it is only the first step for Chen Jingrun.

In order to make his dream come true, whether it is hot summer or cold winter, Chen Jingrun can't sleep at night without knowing the taste and studies hard. The calculated toilet paper alone is full of sacks. From 65438 to 0957, Chen Jingrun was transferred to the Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a new starting point, he studied harder. After 10 years of calculation, 1965 in May, he published the paper "Big even number represents the sum of the products of a prime number and no more than two prime numbers". The publication of the paper has been highly valued and praised by the world mathematics community and famous mathematicians. British mathematician Haberstein and German mathematician Li Xite wrote Chen Jingrun's paper into a math book called "Chen Theorem". However, the elites in the field of mathematics in the world don't know the classification of commodities in their daily life, and some commodities are called "idiots" and "weirdos".

Writer Xu Chi described Chen Jingrun's inner world in Goldbach Conjecture: "I know my illness is very serious. I'm terminally ill. Bacteria are devouring my internal organs. My mind has reached the point of exhaustion. My body really can't support it! Only my brain cells are extremely active, so I can't stop working. I can't stop. "For Chen Jingrun's contribution, Chinese mathematicians once said: Chen Jingrun challenged the sum of the world's intellectual limits in the field of analytic number theory for 250 years. Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening-up, once told people meaningfully: "It would be great to have a thousand scientists like Chen Jingrun in China.".
