With the awarding of a special Fields Medal award, the opening ceremony of the 29th International Congress of Mathematicians officially came to an end.

After the opening ceremony, the next step was the talent show by St. Petersburg's most famous opera troupe and ballet troupe.

It is also the custom of the International Congress of Mathematicians to perform the characteristic songs and dances of the organizer.

After the artistic performance, Chairman Kenig, who presided over the conference, announced the end of the opening ceremony. In the venue, most of the scholars who participated in the conference left the venue happily in groups.

Xu Chuan stood up from his seat and walked towards Amelia.

When he was on stage, he was separated from the other winners, and he didn't even have the chance to say congratulations to this student.

But it's not too late now.

"Congratulations, Amelia." Looking at the pretty figure standing in front of him, Xu Chuan said his sincere blessing.

"Thank you, Professor. If I hadn't been your professor, I wouldn't have been able to get this medal." With the medal, Amelia bent her crescent-like eyes and bowed to Xu Chuan happily.

As Zhang Wei said, if it weren't for the teaching and guidance of the mentor in front of her, it would have been difficult for her to stand on this stage.

At least not possible at the age of twenty-six.

There are many IMO gold medalists. The number of gold medals in IMO competitions every year is in double digits, sometimes reaching half a hundred. However, after almost a century, there are only more than 60 Fields Medals.

Being able to win the IMO gold medal only shows that she has some talent in mathematics, but to turn this talent into her own strength, she will never be able to do without the guidance of an excellent mentor.

There is an old Chinese saying that she knows very well: a thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "This is inseparable from your own efforts, and my teaching is only part of it."

After a pause, he continued: "You can win the Fields Medal at the age of twenty-six, which is very good and outstanding. But I hope you will regard this medal as the starting point of your life, not the end.

I hope you can reap more fruits in the future.”

Amelia nodded seriously and said, "I will keep it in mind, mentor."

As he was talking, several other students around him also rushed over.

"Congratulations, professor, congratulations, senior sister!"

"Double Fields Medals in one subject! Congratulations to the professor and congratulations to the senior sister!"

Joyful congratulations and congratulations rang in his ears as several people came over. Xu Chuan smiled and nodded with the several arriving students.

In the crowd, Gu Bing walked up to Amelia and looked at the medal in her hand with some envy: "Congratulations, Amelia."

The Fields Medal is really enviable.

Although Bloch's conjecture was completed by him and Amelia together, he made very little contribution in solving this conjecture, and it is normal that he did not win the Philippine Prize.

Amelia smiled and said: "Senior Brother Gu still has a chance, maybe it will be you next time."

This is true. Gu Bing is thirty-three years old this year. He will be thirty-seven in four years. There are still four years left. There is indeed a chance.

Hearing this, Gu Bing smiled. Although he also wanted to win a Fields Medal, he also knew very well that he probably had no chance.

Even though they are both students of Xu Chuan, the gap between him and Amelia is huge.

Just like when he and Amelia were solving Bloch's conjecture, Amelia could always find the key points and solutions to the problem one or even multiple steps ahead of him.

And he tried his best but could barely keep up with the opponent.

I have to say that sometimes talent really determines the upper limit of life.
Chapter completed!
