Today, it is with great sadness that we mourn a superstar in the field of mathematics, Ms. Hu Hesheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a famous mathematician. Although this great man who passed away at the age of 96 has left us forever, his academic contributions are like bright stars, shining forever in the vast sky of mathematics.
Hu Hesheng was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, in June 1928 in Shanghai. Her upbringing was full of ups and downs and struggles. In that war-torn era, she firmly chose to study, and received rigorous mathematical training at Shanghai Qingxin Girls' High School (now Shanghai No. 8 Middle School), the Department of Mathematics of Jiaotong University, and the Department of Mathematics and Physics of Daxia University. In 1952, she, a talented mathematical genius, graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University, like a bright star, shining in the academic sky. She entered the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as an intern researcher and assistant researcher, and began her exploration journey in the field of scientific research. In 1956, she joined the big family of Fudan University, like a bright star rising in the academic world, and began her glorious journey.
As an excellent mathematician, Hu Hesheng has made outstanding contributions in many fields. Her research spans several important mathematical fields such as number theory and algebraic geometry. Her research achievements have been highly praised by international peers and she has become an important figure in academic exchanges at home and abroad. She is also an important member of the Chinese Mathematical Society, and has served as deputy editor-in-chief of Acta Mathematica Sinica.
Hu Hesheng is also an outstanding educator and mentor. She is passionate about education and has always been committed to cultivating outstanding mathematical talents. During her tenure as a professor at Fudan University, she led the team to cultivate a large number of outstanding students who have achieved outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics. As one of the first batch of doctoral supervisors in China, she imparts knowledge and focuses on cultivating students' innovative thinking and scientific research ability.
In addition to her outstanding achievements in the academic community, Ms. Hu Hesheng is also actively involved in social welfare undertakings. She joined the China Democratic League in 1987 and served as a member of the 9th Shanghai Municipal Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the 10th Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Democratic League.

We are saddened by Hu Hesheng's passing, but her spirit will always shine in our hearts. Her perseverance, courage and dedication are examples for us to learn from. She has used her life to explain what it means to be a true scholar and educator, and she is the pride of the mathematical community! As a renowned mathematician, her departure is a great loss to the entire scientific community.
Academician Hu Hesheng, her life has been dedicated to education and scientific research, and her academic achievements are dazzling. She has left a strong mark in many fields such as teaching and educating people, scientific research, discipline construction, and international exchanges. Her outstanding contribution is like a majestic mountain, which is admirable.
Her tireless spirit and perseverance are like a burning flame, inspiring generations of young students and inspiring them to climb the heights of mathematics. Her academic spirit, like a bright star, illuminates the path of students and leads them to the other side of success.
Academician Hu Hesheng, she is our beacon and our guide. Under her guidance, we have seen the nobility of scholarship and we have felt the power of scientific research. Her life is the best interpretation of education and scientific research, and it is also the highest praise for academic spirit.
The departure of Academician Hu Hesheng makes us cherish the meaning and value of life even more. Her life experience tells us that only by persevering in pursuing one's dreams can we create infinite value in a limited time.
