Some people say that Chen Jingrun is one of the leading figures in the field of mathematics in China. If China can have a 10 Chen Jingrun, the leading position in the field of mathematics will definitely be controlled by China people.
After Chen Jingrun died, what kind of life did his wife and children live now?
Chen Jingrun was born in 1933. When he was a child, he lived in an era of war. 195 1, admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Xiamen University. After graduating from college, he went to teach in a middle school in Beijing.
Because my personal Mandarin was not very good, I went home after a while, and was re-employed by Xiamen University soon after returning to my hometown and became a librarian. During his time as a librarian, he did some math research every day.
Later, his talent was discovered by Hua, who thought he was a rare mathematical genius, so he was transferred to the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences.
Chen Jingrun successfully proved Goldbach's conjecture of 1+2 in the institute, and published it in China Science in June 1966.
After the publication of this result, it caused a sensation in the world of mathematics. Everyone can't believe that the result of 1+2 was actually proved by Chen Jingrun.
Maybe it's because Chen Jingrun devoted himself to his work in his early years and delayed his personal affairs for too long. 1977, Chen Jingrun was 44 years old and was hospitalized due to illness. I met you Kun, a nurse, when I was in hospital, and they met in the hospital and had feelings. They got married on 1880, when Chen Jingrun was 47 years old.
In the second year after their marriage, they had their own child, Chen Youwei. The first two words of this name are the surnames of Chen Jingrun and his wife You Kun, and the last one is hoping that he can become a genius.
After having a son, the life of husband and wife has become more harmonious. Chen Jingrun's life seems to be full of only regrets, but misfortune befalls him.
1984, diagnosed as Parkinson's syndrome. After that, Chen Jingrun's health deteriorated day by day. 1996 died in a hospital in Beijing at the age of 63.
Although Chen Jingrun has been devoted to the study of mathematics, it seems that his son didn't like mathematics very much in his early years. Chen Jingrun didn't force him to study mathematics at that time, but let him choose his favorite liberal arts field.
When Chen Youwei grew up, his mother also sent him to study in Canada. At first, Chen Youwei wanted to be a businessman, so he chose business major.
But later he found that he liked mathematics better, so he changed his major and began to study applied mathematics. At present, he has made some achievements.
And he himself is very low-key. During his study abroad, no one ever knew that his father was Chen Jingrun, because he didn't want to stand under his father's aura.
