Chapter 4 Chen Jingrun--Chapter 4 Bloody Trek

misfortune There is no room for a peaceful desk in Zhongguancun. There are big-character posters everywhere.The gentle and respected scholars and experts in the past have all become distraught "ghosts and snakes", "reactionary bourgeois academic authorities", "remnants of the Kuomintang" and so on overnight. feet on the ground" and "never turn over".Red Guards in grass-green military uniforms, waving military belts, swaggered through the streets. Most of them were middle school students who were ignorant of the world, and they actually regarded beating people as a "revolutionary action" that could dominate the world.

"Rebels" wearing red armbands appeared in every unit.Of course, the Institute of Mathematics has not been spared.When a group of people flocked aggressively to Chen Jingrun, calling him out as a "parasite, idiot, and infectious disease patient", he was at a loss, staring at these crazy people with puzzled eyes: What's wrong with the world?How did people become like this? He usually doesn't ask about politics, but politics came to ask him mercilessly.Moreover, so harsh, so non-negotiable.This is an era of extreme contempt for the rule of law, truth, and facts. A few people, a dozen people, or a small group of people think you are something, and they can accuse you at will, go online to a scary level, and put a hat on you. Top hat, you can't appeal, and there is no one to listen to your appeal, so you have to admit it.I don't know how many upright souls have been whipped for no reason, so that they are twisted, deformed, and even destroyed.It is extremely cruel to trample on personality and dignity inhumanely.

The dashing knight who gallops freely in the kingdom of number theory is vilified into worthless garbage in the real world, and the former glory has become an unforgivable crime overnight.Even the extremely sacred Goldbach's conjecture has been inexplicably desecrated: critics of Chen Jingrun spit all over the place, and announced in the most fashionable "revolutionary" language: Let Goldbach's conjecture go to hell! (1+2) what a big deal! Isn't 1+2 equal to 3?Eating food grown by farmers, living in a house built by workers, protected by soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army, and receiving wages from the state, researching what 1+2=3, what kind of stuff?fake-science!

What puzzles Chen Jingrun the most is that the people who say such things are not people who do not understand mathematics and number theory. Knows well.However, they deliberately slandered him and vilified him like this. Could it be that these people are crazy? Western sociologists explain the absurdity of this extraordinary period with two completely different aspects of human nature and animal nature.In fact, this is the result of the flood of extreme "left" thoughts during the "Cultural Revolution".The loss of control of power in the entire society and the vicious expansion of selfishness under the instigation of the extreme "left" trend of thought have almost turned all truths upside down.How can there be no eggs under the overturned nest? How can Chen Jingrun escape this catastrophe?

Xu Chi once described the innocent Chen Jingrun as follows: "He is as white as a crane, and the stains on the crane's feathers cannot be stained. But the top of the crane is bright red; his eyes are also bright red, probably because he stayed up all night. "This is the poet's affectionate tribute, but the harsh reality is that the beautiful crane is undergoing a merciless crusade! He is a "ghost and snake spirit" at the office level. When he goes out, he must hang up the sign given to him by the rebels.It was a three-ply board more than two feet long and one foot wide, on which his many crimes were written in ink, tied with a thin rope, the sign was not heavy, but the malicious slander and evil insult were like a heavy The mountain was pressing down on him who was emaciated.Go to the cafeteria to buy food, but also hung up.When he came back, Chen Jingrun took off the sign.Being good at calculation, he accidentally discovered the special purpose of the brand, which happened to be used to block the sunlight from the window.He held the old radio against the sign and the window.Inside the house, it seemed much warmer.

The noble number theory has been trampled down to a scrap of paper.But Chen Jingrun is still in love with it as always, like an infatuated lover.At this time, he had moved into the knife handle-shaped "boiler room" of six square meters. There was no boiler, and the raised chimney occupied a conspicuous position. Zhang's broken-legged stool was turned sideways, just to sit on, and the bed became a desk.He lay on the bed, still doing his math. In June 1966, although he published his paper on overcoming Goldbach's conjecture (1+2), he knew that the proof process still had many deficiencies: too complicated, not concise, biased and unclear place.It seems to be the way up the mountain, he reached the peak, but the route is not clear yet, he wants to further improve it and simplify it.Outside the window, outside the door, the turbid current was rolling and the noise was loud. Chen Jingrun wiped away the spit on his face, buried the wound deeply, and still studied his number theory. "There are more than one soldier in the two rooms, and the lotus halberd wanders alone." I have to admire and praise Chen Jingrun's obsessed spirit.

When the movement developed in depth and the goal gradually shifted to a new stage of rectifying "those in power within the party who are taking the capitalist road", Chen Jingrun was gradually forgotten by the fanatical people.Because, compared to such big figures as President Liu Shaoqi, former Defense Minister Peng Dehuai, and Beijing Party Secretary Peng Zhen, Chen Jingrun is really nothing.He started to hold the signboard in his hands, holding the bowl in one hand and the signboard in the other. Seeing that no one made things difficult for him, the signboard slowly leaned against the window, only playing its due role of blocking the sun.He finally understood that he too could "liberate himself".

There is a rare moment of tranquility in the frenzy.Chen Jingrun, who is already scarred and scarred, is often in a state of mind that is frightened.At this time, Hua Luogeng, the master of mathematics, was severely impacted. He was branded as an "anti-Party, anti-socialist bourgeois university boss", his home was confiscated, and he was "dragged" to the Institute of Mathematics for criticism.It is terrible for an insider to punish an insider. Some people specially force Hua Luogeng's students to criticize him. They naturally know the special relationship between Chen Jingrun and Hua Luogeng, so they ask Chen Jingrun to "stand up" again and again to expose and criticize his mentor. .Chen Jingrun resolutely refrained from doing anything that would hurt Hua Luogeng and damage his personality and dignity. He abided by the ancient motto of "one day being a teacher and life being a father" and rejected those people's unreasonable demands.He respects his mentor very much, and even in an extremely dangerous situation, he does not change his original intention.In politics, Chen Jingrun has a picture of who is good and who is bad, and he will never do anything against his will.According to Mr. Li Wenqing, Chen Jingrun's teacher, the "Gang of Four" asked Chen Jingrun to write big-character posters to expose Deng Xiaoping many times, threatening, luring and persecuting him, which made him almost commit suicide several times.In the end, he insisted on the principle and did not write a single word. The "Cultural Revolution" chaos, after the temporary tranquility, became more and more unmanageable chaos. Some people took advantage of the gradual escalation of the criticism of Hua Luogeng, trying to add crimes to Chen Jingrun again, and asked Hua Luogeng to "confess" why Chen Jingrun was regarded as "" After the "white flag" was pulled out, Chen Jingrun was transferred back to the Institute of Mathematics. Hua Luogeng's attitude was also very clear, and he refused to answer this question.Chen Jingrun was once taken to participate in the criticism meeting to criticize Hua Luogeng. He couldn't understand the scene of confusing right and wrong and confusing black and white. When people were not paying attention, he slipped out quietly and ran away.Of course, this special form of resistance is likely to bring him greater disasters, but with a pure heart, he can't tolerate the slightest filth, and he would rather break the jade than care about so much.

From then on, Chen Jingrun became more cautious and didn't go out easily.His best friend, Academician Lin Qun, is his fellow townsman and classmate, but he is not in the same research laboratory, and it is rare to have too many contact opportunities in normal times.Chen Jingrun was not good at appealing, and he just endured the big grievances.Number theory, Goldbach conjectured, was his most faithful traveling companion in life.He shut the door tightly and built a Maginot line of defense with silence.The bloody trek requires superhuman will and tenacity. In the hut, he almost turned into a motionless oil painting, a firm and resolute sculpture.

Even so, the god of misfortune still refused to let him go easily. A greater disaster, accompanied by social chaos, showed a terrible grin on the kind-hearted people who only wanted a corner of peace. jump off the building Time is like water, almost washing away the thrilling scenes that happened here. Building No. 88 in Zhongguancun is a light green, grayish, five-story reinforced concrete building with an outdated style. Today, it is the postgraduate branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.A large number of students gathered in the capital, weaving their longings and dreams for the future like flowers and brocades.

Going up the faint stairs to the third floor, there is a micro-vision company with modern equipment. A stylishly dressed girl is sitting in front of the computer and is concentrating on operating it. When asked about what happened here during the "Cultural Revolution", one by one Shaking his head, he didn't know, as if he was listening to the myth of "Heaven and Earth".After all, 29 years have passed, more than a quarter of a century. The wind and rain can erode the cliffs. How can time keep the unbearable memory? People go to the empty building.Chen Jingrun's six-square-meter house was empty.The door was locked, vaguely locking the bloody memory in the minds of the people who experienced that unforgettable period of time. The incident happened at the end of September 1968. I can't even remember the specific date for many people involved. I only remember that Chen Jingrun put on the cotton cap and the loose cotton coat early, as in previous years.He suffers from various diseases, poor health and lack of nutrition, so he is very afraid of the cold.Seeing Chen Jingrun's disheveled face, some well-meaning people once reminded those in power at that time to be careful not to let Chen Jingrun die alone in the house without people knowing about the tragedy.From the outside, Chen Jingrun, who has been tortured and worked hard, seems like a dying candle before the wind, the fire of life, which can no longer withstand any damage and blow.But those hard-hearted people don't even bother to snort. Their logic can be used in a fashionable language at that time, let him fend for himself.If this is the case, Chen Jingrun is lucky. "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." People love to use this proverb. Chen Jingrun, a sickly tree, was brutally deprived of the right to live in peace. The incident was caused by Chen Jingrun's house.At that time, the Institute of Mathematics found out a lesbian surnamed Cao, beat her into a "ghost and snake spirit", and had no place to detain her.People in the rebel faction took a fancy to the hut where Chen Jingrun lived, what should they do?Therefore, they prepared to take "revolutionary action" to knock down Chen Jingrun again and put him in the "cowshed". By doing so, he could occupy Chen Jingrun's hut, solve the problem of imprisoning the female "ghost and snake spirit", and make Chen Jingrun Once again "touching the soul", killing two birds with one stone, and high-sounding. The conspiracy was quickly put into action.The part of the people who used to wander in the realm of mathematics tightened their belts and turned into a group of thugs. There was no need for any disguise, and there was no need to declare Chen Jingrun's "crime". Chen Jingrun.Back then, Chen Jingrun was riding a cloud in the sky of number theory, flying so elegantly and freely that other people could not catch up with him. With his radiance, others would feel dirty. He almost drove them out. Now, Finally it was his turn to kick him out.When the competition on the academic level is distorted by power and faction into a terrible life-and-death "class struggle", unfortunate tragedies follow. Peng, Peng,—the strong knock on the door suddenly sounded, heart-piercing.The terrified Chen Jingrun was surrounded by rebels who rushed in.He wanted to plead that he didn't know what he had done wrong, let alone why fate and people were always against him.But it was too late. A few thugs with quick hands and feet had lifted his bed, and the bottom was full of draft paper and manuscripts, densely filled with various symbols, theorems, and calculative reasoning processes. This was Chen Jingrun's life's hard work. It is the true record of the bloody trek to Goldbach's conjecture, the prototype of the glorious building of number theory in the future, and a baby whose five sense organs have already developed!It is a treasure more precious than Chen Jingrun's life!Chen Jingrun rushed over desperately.I'd rather be jade broken!He made up his mind to protect them, and Chen Jingrun, who was thin and frail, got the strength from nowhere, and in an instant, he became a mighty and unyielding warrior! "You are still dealing with the things of the dead, foreigners, and ancients, and you are still engaging in feudalism, capitalism, and repair. Do you want to restore it? There are mountains of criminal evidence!" manuscript. People are trying to destroy it!Or, "strangle it in the cradle", these highly educated people know that keeping it is a fatal threat to themselves, and they tear it up while feeling an indescribable pleasure! I want to cry but have no tears, my heart is broken!Chen Jingrun fought hard, but how could he fight against a group of menacing people by himself?Suddenly, someone twisted his thin and soft arm and twisted it back, allowing him to taste the most popular "jet" during the "Cultural Revolution"! "Search! Search!" Someone took the opportunity to shout, adding fuel to the fire.Chen Jingrun is usually very frugal. He saves all the money he can save, so that he can still study his mathematics in case he becomes "unemployed" one day.Those who are familiar with the situation know that he still has one or two pieces of hard currency-gold rings.It was the only souvenir left to him by his loving mother. Usually, he kept it in the pocket of his underwear that was close to the flesh, and sewed it up carefully, so it would be safe!An ugly scene was staged, several people rushed forward, including some female generals, they stripped off Chen Jingrun's clothes, skinny, with ribs sticking out. They tore up Chen Jingrun's manuscript, found his deposit, passbook, gold ring, and even the oil-paper umbrella made in Fujian was torn into pieces!The remaining umbrella bone turned into a whip. A female general lifted it up and smashed it at Chen Jingrun. The rebels have won!Chen Jingrun was driven out of the hut naked. Just as people proudly escorted Chen Jingrun to the "cowshed" - a room with more than 20 square meters at the east end of the third floor, Chen Jingrun suddenly broke free from the team and shot I ran towards the "cowshed" in general, turned to the left, and a figure flashed, only to hear the door open, and a hut next to the "cowshed" was closed! What does Chen Jingrun want to do?Does this "unrepentant class enemy" want to set fire to it?The rebels, who had a particularly strong concept of class struggle, suddenly became nervous. Some people suspiciously stuck to the door to hear what happened. They made no sound, pushed hard, and stood still. The door was tied to death by Chen Jingrun! In the hut, only Chen Jingrun was left alone.Ideals, pursuits, and struggles have been brutally destroyed, and the draft manuscripts in sacks have been looted!All the hard work of a lifetime was in vain!The insult to personality and dignity is even more heartbreaking!Living like this is not as good as pigs and dogs, it is better to fight to the death and to show your will! The blood surges upwards!He never expected that even his right to live and his qualifications to be a human being would be so cruelly deprived of him!Like countless people who were driven to a dead end during the "Cultural Revolution", Chen Jingrun was going to use the most tragic way to end his life. He leaped onto the table and walked towards the open window with one step. Is there an abyss below?Is it a hell to break free?Not caring about it anymore, he closed his eyes and jumped down! Life should not die.He jumped down from the window on the third floor, and the protruding edge of the roof sympathetically blocked him. A poplar tree on the ground stretched out its arms sympathetically, slowing down his jumping speed. Chen Jingrun could not walk , "Old Nine" can't go!There is no lack of justice in the world, they are all eagerly calling, and they are all affectionately persuading them, and they can't bear the horrific and serious consequences. Also a rare miracle!Chen Jingrun, who jumped off the building, was safe and sound, but the skin on his thigh was scratched, and there was blood dripping out.A general of the rebel faction, seeing Chen Jingrun who was safe and sound after jumping off the building, actually ridiculed him like this: "As expected of a well-known mathematician, he knows how to choose an angle even when jumping off a building!" The world was turned upside down to such an extent that Chen Jingrun, who was originally reserved, didn't answer for a while, and there was no need to answer.He just gave him an angry look.In the face of fascist atrocities, language is the most pale. The four-year-old kerosene lamp Finally ended the "bullpen" career.Chen Jingrun returned to the six-square-meter hut dragging his wounds all over his body.It is said that in order to prevent the detained "gangsters" from committing suicide in fear of crime, all the wires in the hut were torn off.Without electric lights, Chen Jingrun lit the old-fashioned kerosene lamp. Who would have expected that it would take four years at one point! I don't want to look back on the past, let alone look back.When squatting in the "cowshed", Chen Jingrun was always at the end of the line of "ox ghosts and snake gods", and kept a little distance away. He was small, emaciated, and had a small crew cut. When he didn't pay attention, he thought he was a half-grown child .He refused to admit that he was guilty, and he refused to write any inspections or pleading guilty. The rebels could not catch any more "criminal evidence" of him. Seven Roads", when preparing to go to the "May 7th Cadre School", Chen Jingrun was released from the "cowshed" and let him return to the hut where he used to live. The house is full of dust.Every inch of the ransacked hut was desolate and deserted.The imprisoned "gangsters" no longer know where to go.The dim light of the kerosene lamp made the hut more like an ancient prison cell.There is still a sea of ​​lights on Chang'an Avenue.There was a lot of voices. At the end of the 1960s, China's political storms came and went, and the rebels were busy "fighting the civil war" and "seizing power." Although, "the whole country is red."But there are dangers everywhere, and Lin Biao, China's biggest conspirator and careerist, is in the dark, gnashing his teeth and sucking blood, ready to kill Comrade Mao Zedong at any time, and then push the Chinese people into a sea of ​​blood with a slap.Of course, Chen Jingrun didn't understand these sinister political situations.Although his "soul" was touched, his flesh and blood were touched, and he still had no fundamental progress in politics. As soon as he hid in the hut, his infatuated number theory, especially Goldbach's conjecture, seemed to be like the bright sunshine in spring, and soon disappeared. Dispelled the prison-like clouds in the cabin.Qu Yuan once chanted deeply in "Li Sao": "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Chen Jingrun quickly hid the trauma in his heart and started his unswerving journey of tackling key problems. The turbulent era left him with a godsend opportunity. He was in poor health and suffered from tuberculosis. Most people in the Chinese Academy of Sciences packed their backpacks and went to the "May 7th Cadre School" to "roll in mud and make a red heart" At that time, Chen Jingrun was unexpectedly retained and exempted from the "reform through labor" that was similar to hard labor.As if the tide had receded, the chaotic Mathematics Institute in the past calmed down instantly.The long corridor is empty at night, empty and lonely, as if there is still a touch of sadness.The era seems to have forgotten this sacred hall; the people who are out of their minds seem to have forgotten Chen Jingrun. There are two kerosene lamps, one is on, and the other is silently waiting in the corner, waiting for the master's dispatch at any time.The blue-yellow light turned Chen Jingrun's thin figure into a freehand bow, which was clearly reflected on the white wall.He started the haunted fugue again, inspecting the spring and autumn vegetation in the Shulun Art Garden, commenting on the moss-covered cliffs, cliffs and ancient pavilions with hanging horns like wings.The path is like silk, tied with the floating clouds, and the mountains that are always mysterious.Looking down, there are thorns under the feet, and the stone steps are wet. Could it be the tears and sweat shed by the lonely trekker? Drafts, manuscripts have been ruined by hateful people.A ruin, devastated everywhere, only a few withered grass shivering in the cold wind.It is necessary to start all over again, start from scratch, and at the cost of life, hold up the magnificence of Goldbach's conjecture building. Chen Jingrun, who "does not repent", has such tenacity and stupidity. He recognized the truth and gave it without hesitation. own everything!A person is insignificant, and his ability is also weak and limited. However, when he integrates everything about himself, including life, with the truth that illuminates the sun and the moon, it is like a drop of water melting into a vast and surging sea. , when a grass melts into the majestic grassland, it will produce magical power and eternal vitality. Outside the window, thousands of lights are shining brilliantly.Only in Chen Jingrun's hut, a lamp is like a bean. A mathematics prodigy has become the most humble and humble person in the mathematics institute, and has been ignored, discriminated against, indifferent, and insulted for a long time.The lights are speechless, illuminating the world and the earth and the deep and shallow rows of solid footprints.A person who has been deprived of the qualification to use electric lights is engaged in a great cause that shocked the world of mathematics. This is the tragic fate of Chinese intellectuals.Mao Zedong spoke highly of Mr. Lu Xun, praising him as a big tree that stands upright without the slightest slavishness and obsequiousness.Of course, we cannot mechanically compare Chen Jingrun with Mr. Lu Xun, but the spirit, temperament, and character that Chen Jingrun displayed during the "Cultural Revolution" are not also full of the precious hard-boned spirit of the Chinese nation? There are many well-meaning people around to care about Chen Jingrun, and some of them also mentioned the issue of installing an electric light for him. When this request could not be realized, Chen Jingrun said mockingly: "It's okay not to install lights, there is no interference. Because someone stole the use of the electric stove, the building always had a power outage." He said to those who secretly expressed concern for him: "Don't care about me, it will hurt you." During the "Cultural Revolution" , One of his nephews came to Beijing to visit him, and he sent him away in a hurry, telling him not to come here rashly in the future, and be careful not to affect your future.In extraordinary times, Chen Jingrun is not lacking in carefulness, not to mention the love that always thinks of others. He devoted all his energy to the scientific research project that really perfected and finally conquered Goldbach's conjecture. The six-square-meter hut was tightly closed all day long, and at night, there were dim lights flickering on the windows.People don't know what Chen Jingrun is doing, and they don't seem to bother to know it.Occasionally, I would see Chen Jingrun coming out of the hut, carrying a thermos with a bamboo shell, which is hard to see in Beijing, or holding an enamel bowl with a peeling rim, fetching water and eating, which is an inevitable necessity for survival.Curious people would also push open the door of his room to see that he was listening to the radio. The frightened Chen Jingrun would bounce up from his seat like a rabbit that suddenly encountered a natural enemy, and hurriedly explained: "I'm listening to the news and caring about national affairs!" In fact, he was listening to the English-language radio, which has been his unshakable lesson for decades.Chen Jingrun's English proficiency is amazing, which is the result of long-term self-study and listening to English broadcasts.At that time, he was most worried that someone would falsely accuse him of listening to enemy radio stations.Therefore, there is always more than explanation in panic. Four years, more than a thousand days and nights, how long the wick was boiled, and how much kerosene was burned, it is impossible to count.Chen Jingrun suffered from Parkinson's syndrome in the later period. Experts analyzed the cause, which may have a lot to do with his long-term use of kerosene lamps and the excessive benzene in the kerosene fume.He doesn't understand medicine, and he seldom cares about his health. He is like a soldier on the battlefield. When the charge horn is sounded, he doesn't care about anything except rushing to the target. He is often missed by siblings and relatives at home.Chen Jingrun's younger brother, Chen Jingguang, is an accomplished doctor. He cared about his brother's marriage many times. There are many women in the hospital, and there are many girls with good conditions in all aspects.Every time this matter was brought up, Chen Jingrun blushed first, and then flatly refused.In order to overcome Goldbach's conjecture, he has already made up his mind to close the door of love tightly. This was the most difficult time for Chen Jingrun, and it was also a critical period for Chen Jingrun to create brilliance.For four years, under the kerosene lamp, no one can know how many times Chen Jingrun has suffered failures.In order not to leave a mouthful, he has been tight-lipped.It was only after his success that people discovered that there were three sacks of draft paper under his bed. As early as 1963, his good friend Academician Lin Qun was amazed by Chen Jingrun's hard-working spirit.Once, Chen Jingrun asked: "A determinant of order 10, how do you know that it must not be equal to zero? It was said so in another paper. How did the author calculate it?" This topic has to be calculated hard, and it needs to be multiplied by 3.6 million items, which will take at least 10 years.And only one month later, Chen Jingrun told Academician Lin: "It has been calculated, and the result is exactly zero. I don't believe that the author of that article will have time to calculate it. It must be blind." Chen Jingrun's perseverance and patience, as well as the courage to touch large calculations, are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Goldbach's conjecture has a very strong logic and a very meticulous calculation process, and it was impossible to use a computer (Chen Jingrun did not have such equipment at the time). How easy is it? Today, this kerosene lamp kept in Chen Jingrun's home like a cultural relic may be the best witness. He walks on top of the Himalayas Snow peaks, glaciers, crystal clear mythical world. In 1972, Chen Jingrun, who had gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, finally climbed to the top of the Himalayas.With his unique wisdom and superhuman talent, he improved the ancient sieve method, and scientifically and completely proved (1+2) in Goldbach's conjecture. In 1966, he once proved that at that time, more than 200 pages of papers were tedious and complicated. What was published in "Science Bulletin" was only a summary report, but now, a brilliant and round paper This earth-shattering work is in Chen Jingrun's arms. He is infinitely joyful, just like standing on a rare peak in this world, enjoying the beautiful scenery.The distant sky is picturesque.The proud white clouds surrounded the front of the mountain extremely docilely and gracefully.What about the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Great Wall, the backbone of the Chinese nation?They turned into legends left behind in the strange peaks and cliffs?Or with an unyielding heroic posture, hold up this almost eternal monument? At the same time, he also felt inexplicable anxiety.After Lin Biao's self-explosion, the Chinese political arena was shaken violently.Worthy of being a great man of his generation, Mao Zedong "liberated" 175 generals in order to turn the tide, and in April 1973, he began to use Deng Xiaoping. Although the extreme "left" trend of thought has not been fundamentally corrected, the "Gang of Four" is still There is a lot of noise, but in the rolling cold, we can already feel the irresistible breath of spring. "The old nine can't go away", Mao Zedong's witty words made the intellectuals in adversity strongly appreciate the warmth and brightness of the sun.Chen Jingrun didn't fully understand the political climate in China at that time. From the looks of the people around him and their attitudes towards him, he could vaguely feel that the situation was relatively relaxed.After all, he was a person who had been severely impacted and declared that he would never engage in business again, and the lingering fear in his heart had not completely disappeared.He revealed to his close friends in private: "I made something, but I dare not take it out." There is no impenetrable wall, and Chen Jingrun's secret is finally exposed.At that time, the person in charge of the military representative stationed at the Chinese Academy of Sciences was a general. He also learned the news after a long battle, and calmly told his subordinates to try his best to mobilize Chen Jingrun to take it out. Eight years have passed, and the "Cultural Revolution" was in chaos. After a war of resistance against Japan, there are few exotic plants in the field of science, and honest people also yearn for the unique flower that can attract a hundred flowers to bloom. Chen Jingrun is cautious.He handed over this "rare treasure" to his most trusted Peking University professor, Mr. Min Sihe.Mr. Min once taught a postgraduate course of "Number Theory Specialization" at Peking University, and cultivated a generation of middle-aged people such as Pan Chengdong who once solved Goldbach's conjecture (1+4). More importantly, Mr. Min has always been a man of integrity. He is honest and upright, and he is a respected senior in mathematics. Fate also fell in love with Chen Jingrun. At that time, Mr. Min Sihe was indeed the most ideal candidate to review this paper.However, Mr. Min was already ill at that time. He had a bad heart and weak physical strength. He put Chen Jingrun's thesis under the pillow, leaned on the bed, read a paragraph, and rested for a while.The old scholar is extremely serious, and he personally reviews and calculates every step.Like a mountaineering expedition, following Chen Jingrun's footprints and the road signs inserted, he hugged his sick body, panting, and walked forward step by step.It was raining and windy, and I couldn't hold on any longer. I sat on the cold stone to rest for a while, gritted my teeth, and walked forward.The admirable and admirable Mr. Min lit up the future of Chen Jingrun and the future of Chinese science with the last ray of flame of the fire of life. After three months, Mr. Min was exhausted. With a satisfied smile, he said to Chen Jingrun: "For this paper, I lost at least three years of my life." Chen Jingrun's eyes were red, and he kept saying, "Mr. Min has worked hard, thank you, Mr. Min." Wang Yuan from the Institute of Mathematics also independently reviewed this paper by Chen Jingrun.Wang Yuan was also attacked during the "Cultural Revolution" and was falsely accused of being a member of a so-called counter-revolutionary clique.He is of the same generation as Chen Jingrun, and he also had a brilliant record in the process of attacking Goldbach's conjecture. He has proved (3+4), (2+3), (1+4). For the sake of prudence, he asked Chen Jingrun to give He spoke for three days and conducted detailed calculations, proving that Chen Jingrun's conclusions and processes were correct, and wrote the conclusion of "no evidence of error found" on the "Review Opinion", and supported the publication of Chen Jingrun's paper as soon as possible . Unfortunately, the facts were revealed. Professor Min Sihe passed away due to illness shortly after reviewing Chen Jingrun's thesis.Chen Jingrun was very sad when he heard the news. He said to his colleagues in pain: "Mr. Min is a good person. From now on, who will review my paper?" In 1973, the "Chinese Science" magazine officially published Chen Jingrun's paper "The Table of Large Even Numbers is the Sum of a Prime Number and the Product of a No More Than Two Prime Numbers".This is Goldbach's conjecture (1+2).This paper has the same title as Chen Jingrun's paper published in "Science Bulletin" in June 1966, but the content is completely new. The article is concise and clear, and the proof process is full of amazing splendor. The world mathematics community was sensational.The Chinese mathematics circle in the political vortex has not yet been completely liberated from the heavy oppression, but many people of insight have seen the true meaning of Chen Jingrun's paper: it is a priceless treasure!It is a shining new star rising from the land of China. Foreign scientists who paid close attention to Chen Jingrun's breakthrough of Goldbach's conjecture (1+2) were really convinced after reading this paper.The world-renowned mathematician Haberstein got a copy of Chen Jingrun's thesis from the University of Hong Kong. He immediately wrote Chen Jingrun's (1+2) into the monograph he co-authored with Richert.In order to wait for Chen Jingrun's complete proof of (1+2), they postponed the publication date of the book that had already been printed for several years.In the eleventh and last chapter of the book, it is titled "Chen's Theorem".At the beginning of the article, he wrote affectionately: Our purpose in this chapter is to prove the following astonishing theorem of Chen Jingrun, a result which we only noticed when the first ten chapters were in print; it is the culmination of brilliance in any respect of the sieve method.
