The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

boom--!

A second, thunderous applause swept through the auditorium, louder, more intense, and longer-lasting than the first.

This time, there were no surprises, no doubts.

Only heartfelt respect.

"This trip to China was so worthwhile."

Terence Tao smiled and shook his head: "It is the greatest honor of my life to witness this moment!"

Wiles gazed towards the podium, his eyes filled with solemnity: "I'll start learning Chinese as soon as I get back!"

"A country that can give birth to such geniuses must have a language as beautiful and profound as its civilization."

"Sir Wiles, just go ahead and learn it. I guarantee you'll learn it without making a sound!"

……

In the live stream, the barrage of comments had changed from a frantic barrage to screens full of "Welcome the Pope to the throne."

"All five conjectures have been confirmed! Season God, the eternal god!"

"In just five days, he went from a child prodigy to a math 'poet'—this is the most inspiring comeback I've ever seen!"

"I used to think that the Western mathematics community was unattainable, but now... ha, it's nothing special."

"Where's Academician Zhou? Come out and show your face? What happened to your promise to 'help improve' it? He conveniently proved another Millennium Problem!"

"Old Deng's face must be swollen from being slapped, right? He tried to flatter him to death, but ended up putting him on a pedestal. Hilarious!"

Forget about those clowns! Remember today! Remember this boy in the school uniform!

"Remember this: from this day forward, Chinese mathematics stands at the pinnacle of the world!"

No one doubted it anymore.

From Goldbach's conjecture to the BSD conjecture, from number theory to topology, five problems of the century, including one Millennium Prize.

That boy in the blue and white school uniform completely rewrote the landscape of human mathematics with a performance that can only be described as miraculous.

Not only on the domestic internet, but also on the international internet, people were in an uproar!

The news spread like wildfire across the global internet, causing major online forums and academic communities to be paralyzed in discussions.

Netizens from different countries, speaking different languages, were all deeply moved by the same 18-year-old Chinese boy.

American netizens:

"Oh my god! The BSD hypothesis has been proven? And by an 18-year-old high school student right there and then?"

"The MIT math department's group chat is already at 99+, the professors are all silent, and the doctoral students are revising their thesis proposals overnight."

"Don't ask anymore, my supervisor has already started packing his bags and is preparing to apply to go to China as a visiting scholar."

"God, what is He made of? He solved five age-old problems in just five days?"

English netizens:

"It must be acknowledged that this is the most significant mathematical breakthrough of this century so far! Sir Wiles was present to witness it in person, which speaks volumes."

"I thought it was just a routine verification meeting, but I never expected to witness history."

"China's younger generation is truly amazing."

"A gentlemanly gesture of hat-tipping, but our British mathematics will not lag behind!"

French netizens:

"Mr. William's defeat was well-deserved! Seeing the BSD conjecture proven with his own eyes made his trip to China worthwhile!"

"This is a romantic miracle in the world of mathematics! An eighteen-year-old boy has reached the pinnacle of number theory under the spotlight—that's so cool!"

"I suggest that Ji Bai's blackboard writing be printed in the textbooks of all mathematics departments in France! It is a treasure belonging to all mankind!"

Da Mao (a netizen):

"Well done, lad! Next time you come to St. Petersburg, I'll treat you to the strongest vodka and we'll have a serious discussion about the most hardcore mathematics!"

"The Millennium Problem? For true geniuses, it's just a matter of time."

Third Brother Netizen:

"It's nothing. We also have many mathematical geniuses in India, we just lack a stage to showcase them."

"After Ramanujan, India will produce a similar figure soon."

Japanese netizens:

"It's so frustrating... Why didn't such a genius emerge in our country?"

"A terrifying China, a terrifying younger generation!"

"We shout 'genius, genius' every day, but this is a real genius. Look at these Heisei era losers!"

"Panic is starting to build... Will he prove all the remaining Millennium Puzzles?"

Korean netizens:

"After checking the family genealogy, I found that Ji Bai's ancestors migrated there during the Silla period! He is essentially a descendant of our Korean people!"

"I suggest immediately incorporating Ji Bai into the Korean Mathematical Society and applying for World Heritage status!"

"China merely borrowed our genius to showcase its abilities; the root cause still lies with South Korea!"

……

In the Great Hall.

The applause gradually subsided, but the atmosphere in the venue remained warm and enthusiastic.

Academician Zhou straightened his slightly wrinkled suit, put on his impeccable professional smile again, and slowly walked onto the stage.

No one knows what he was feeling at that moment.

His carefully planned attempt to flatter and kill became a divine assist, and the knife he secretly handed over became a stepping stone. All his little tricks were like a clumsy joke in the face of absolute power.

But he couldn't show it; he had to smile, he had to praise, he had to stand on the stage, and make the ending of the event seem grand and dignified.

"Distinguished guests, esteemed scholars."

He picked up the microphone, his voice so steady that there was no trace of anything amiss.

The five-day World Conference on the Verification of Mathematical Conjectures has successfully concluded today.

On behalf of the Chinese Mathematical Association, I would like to extend my warmest and most sincere congratulations to Ji Bai!

Five unsolved problems, including the Poincaré conjecture, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, and the BSD conjecture.

Ji Bai's achievements are not only a source of pride for the Chinese mathematics community, but also a great milestone in the mathematical endeavors of all humankind!

This conference will surely be recorded in history and remembered by future generations!

His words were impeccable, and the audience nodded in approval.

Academician Zhou paused, put on a friendly smile, and continued:

"In addition to academic exchanges, we also prepared a small feast."

Tonight at 8 PM, a closing banquet will be held in the banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People. We look forward to your presence.

Let's take a short break, eat, chat, and continue our academic discussions.

This is an old Chinese tradition: after you've finished your business, you should at least be provided with a meal, right?

A cheerful chorus of agreement erupted from the audience.

William was the first to smile and nod, his tone full of genuine anticipation: "It would be an honor! It would be my pleasure to have dinner with Mr. Ji."

Wiles and Terence Tao agreed with smiles, clearly in high spirits, and even made an appointment to discuss the issues with Ji Bai alone after dinner.

Even IMU Secretary General Charles managed a slightly stiff smile and nodded slightly.

No matter how unwilling or frustrated he felt, he had no choice but to accept it.

This young Chinese man has earned his throne through sheer strength.

Let alone a banquet, the name "Ji Bai" will be indispensable in all subsequent core meetings and important awards at IMU.

Even the upcoming IMC conference, and the Fields Medal, awarded every four years…
