The latest news of math wizard Wei Dongyi was photographed by a netizen and **. It turned out that this netizen met Wei Dongyi in the Peking University cafeteria. However, he never expected that Wei Dongyi was wearing a sweater full of threads, but it was not strange for Wei Dongyi to dress up casually.
At first glance, he looks unkempt on the outside, but in reality he doesn't care about appearances at all, as if he no longer cares about these external things, and his heart is full of love only for pure mathematics. In addition to his modest clothing, his diet is also very simple.
As you can see from the recent photos, Wei Dongyi's lunch only includes a bowl of rice and a side dish, which is estimated to add up to less than 5 yuan, and there is a bottle of mineral water next to it. Such a minimalist diet may be prohibitive for many people.
Wei Dongyi's family is wealthy and he was born in a scholarly family, probably because he is spiritually wealthy, so he does not pursue material enjoyment. He eats steamed buns and drinks mineral water every day, not because of poverty, but because for him, such a lifestyle is not bad. Wei Dongyi's excellence lies in his authenticity and transcendence, which does not rely on praise.
The reason why he can become a generation of mathematical gods is that he does not pursue any external material, even clothes and rice grains. Many people may think that he is an outlier, but in fact he has insight into the world and is a truly sober person.
Focusing on one's studies in a down-to-earth manner, not worrying about one's livelihood, and not selling one's soul to please others, is perhaps the greatest happiness in life. He loves mathematics and is focused on it, and perhaps that's enough for him. I really don't understand what else to pursue.
It is already satisfying for ordinary people to be able to turn what they love most into work. The magic of math is truly magical, and once you start doing math problems, time seems to fly by. For those who are obsessed with mathematics, there may not be enough time in each day to think about anything else.
Maybe someone like him only has the shadow of mathematics flashing in his mind in his free time. Even though his lifestyle is different from most of us, who dictates that everyone should live the same?As long as he is satisfied with himself, it is enough.
At least he has a rich spiritual world to immerse himself in, and an area of mathematics that he excels in to delve into. Wei Dongyi is known as a great god, and some people think that this kind of over-touting may not be appropriate. As the saying goes, eating vegetables for the poor is seen as poor, while eating vegetables for the rich is called the pursuit of health.
If you don't see Wei Shen as a great god, then wearing ordinary clothes may be blamed for chilling, but once you are praised as Wei Shen, wearing shabby clothes will be praised for simplicity and frugality, and your heart is pure. Some people even think that Wei Shen is just a mediocre person who has been hyped up.
However, it may be too early to say that he is mediocre, because everyone's achievements cannot be achieved in the same time period.
Just as it took a decade for a mathematician at Huawei to achieve something, in the nine years before that, I don't know how many people, especially those inside Huawei, said so many derogatory things, and now I don't know if they will say it.
