In the Chinese mathematical community, there is a mathematician whose name is widely known, and his name is Zhang Yitang. He was a mathematician with an international reputation, but his path was not smooth. Although he has been in the United States for 7 years, he still insists on returning to China for two months every year, and holds lectures and forums in many universities in China to pass on the world's advanced mathematical research results to more people. The mathematician's story has a lot to teach us and inspires us to pursue our goals and overcome difficulties.
Zhang Yitang is an outstanding graduate of the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, and he was admitted to Peking University with his outstanding mathematical talent. During his studies at Peking University, he was highly appreciated and supported by his teachers, who provided him with abundant curriculum resources and scholarships, giving him sufficient conditions for study and research. Subsequently, Zhang Yitang was recommended by Professor Shi Sun to go to Purdue University in the United States for further study. His mentor, Mo Zongjian, was a well-known expert in mathematics, and Zhang Yitang was highly appreciated and guided by Mo Zongjian in the early days of his studies.
However, with in-depth research, Zhang Yitang and his mentor had a disagreement on the research ideas, he believed that there were loopholes in Mo Zongjian's argumentation process, but under pressure, he finally completed the ** according to Mo Zongjian's ideas. However, the ** review failed, and he not only lost the support of his mentor, but also suffered negative comments in the academic circle. Zhang Yitang's doctorate was postponed, and he encountered difficulties in finding a job, and he was reduced to doing odd jobs to make a living. Even so, he still maintains his love for academics, and uses his spare time to continue learning and researching.
In Zhang Yitang's arduous study journey, he is not alone. He met Sun Yaling, who was also struggling on campus, and the mutual understanding between the two gradually evolved into a deep relationship. With mutual support and encouragement, their love has stood the test of time and finally come together.
The marriage with Sun Yaling gave Zhang Yitang more strength and motivation. They support each other and grow together in difficult situations. Zhang Yitang has achieved breakthrough research results that have solved the problems that have plagued the mathematical community for two hundred years. He made a name for himself and became a star in the international mathematical community.
However, just when his career was at its peak, Zhang Yitang made an unexpected choice, giving up a high-paying offer from Peking University and choosing to continue teaching at Santa Barbara University in the United States. He believed that the academic atmosphere in the United States was more suitable for his development. This decision has caused many controversies and questions in China, but Zhang Yitang has not forgotten his homeland, and he returns to China for two months every year to give lectures and forums at universities and share his academic achievements and experiences with students.
Zhang's choice sparked a wide discussion about brain drain and the academic environment. Some people understand his choice, arguing that China's academic environment is flawed and will constrain innovative thinking, and that a better research environment must be provided to retain talent. However, there are also those who question his ingratitude and believe that he should return to his homeland.
Zhang Yitang's story tells us that it is not easy to pursue goals and dreams, but as long as you persevere and have the courage to face difficulties, you will eventually find your own bright future. His story also reminds us that we should not be limited to the current predicament, but also actively think about ways and strategies to solve problems, and move forward bravely and constantly break through ourselves.
In order to retain talents and create a good academic environment, we need to give more support and care to talents, provide rich learning and research conditions, and at the same time, we need to continuously improve and optimize the academic system and mechanism. Only in this way can we attract more outstanding talents to stay in the country and make greater contributions to national development and academic progress.
