Liu Hanqing was born in an ordinary peasant family in Jiangsu Province with poor family conditions. The unpretentious life made him develop a rigid and persistent character. He loved studying since he was a child, and he didn't live up to his family's expectations. At the age of sixteen, he was admitted to the 985 university with excellent scientific achievements and entered the famous Harbin Institute of Technology. While many children are still playing, Liu Hanqing has developed a strong interest in mathematics. While others are studying elementary school courses, Liu Hanqing has devoted his time to the study of calculus. So when he first entered the university of technology, he showed excellent mathematical ability, was discovered by the school's mathematics research team, and invited to join the team to study together. Later, I followed the teacher of the math group and participated in math competitions many times. When he was a student, he won many math prizes.
In the third year of college, Liu Hanqing came into contact with Goldbach's conjecture in the math group, which aroused Liu Hanqing's interest in challenging and conquering this difficult problem for a time and has been deeply involved since then. Textbooks of other subjects have long been put aside, and truancy is common. Liu Hanqing got good grades and was highly valued by his tutor. He became the famous king of failing classes in the whole school. Out of responsibility for the students and in order not to lose talents, the school asked Liu Hanqing to repeat a year and make up the credits. However, despite the repeated obstruction of the school teacher, Liu Hanqing chose to drop out of school and go home to continue studying mathematics. He thinks it is a waste of life to study other subjects except math problems.
A few years after Liu Hanqing returned to China, it became unimaginable. He lives in a humble house, untidy every day, never taking care of himself and disheveled. All the people who saw him couldn't believe that he was Liu Hanqing, a talented teenager who had been in high spirits. Since then, Liu Hanqing has closed himself up and only studied mathematics in his room all day. Regardless of the peeping and questioning and ridicule of other people in the village.
In this way, the originally poor families are unable to support themselves, and finally they can only rely on the government's minimum living allowance to maintain their lives. But in his mind, these are irrelevant, and only mathematical arguments deserve his full attention. Later, with the help of my classmate Zhai Ming, I invited two mathematicians at home and abroad to help me study and demonstrate my research results, but there was no progress.
Liu Hanqing has always been paranoid on the road of mathematical research. No one can know how long he will persist to succeed, maybe in the near future, maybe never. With his own actions, he explained what it means to persist in dreams, regardless of the cost and return. But it's too late. Dreams are beautiful, but you can't immerse yourself in them. Only by facing the reality can we create more favorable conditions to realize our dreams.
