Zhou Weilie threw away the chalk, patted the chalk dust on his hands and said, "Okay, this semester's course is over. I wish the students good luck in the exam. get out of class is over!"
The students left the classroom one after another, but a blonde girl came to the podium holding a textbook.
"Professor, can you tell me about your newly proposed 'Zhou Weilie Programme'? I'm very interested in it." The blonde student girl blinked her eyes, with a bright smile on her face, and her freckles seemed to come to life.
Zhou Weilie packed up his lecture notes and said, "You are only in your second year of college. Please wait until you finish your graduate studies before asking this question."
"Why?" the blonde student girl said in a long drawl, sounding more like coquettishness.
Zhou Weilie completely ignored it and said mercilessly: "Because you still don't understand."
The blond student girl persisted and said: "Then tell me how you perfected and proved the 'Taniyama-Shimura-Zhou Conjecture' and how you combined this conjecture with your 'Zhou Weilie Programme'? Let's go to a bar or a coffee shop to relax.
Chat slowly."
"Let's wait another day." Zhou Weilie walked out of the classroom with his handouts under his arm.
The blond student girl stamped her feet angrily, muttering and cursing: "What a cold machine, she deserves to be single for the rest of her life!"
…
Of course, Zhou Weilie was not always single. He obtained two master's degrees and a doctorate degree from Cambridge University in four years. At the age of nineteen, Zhou Weilie followed Turing to the University of Manchester in the United States, where he served as a researcher in the computer laboratory and worked on "Manchester One"
” software development work.
While in the United States, Zhou Weilie made a girlfriend.
The love affair ended without a problem, and Zhou Weilie returned to the UK with some depression and was employed as a mathematics lecturer at Trinity College, Cambridge University. Two years later, Zhou Weilie emerged in the international mathematics community due to his expanded application of the "Riemann-Roche Theorem"
, and therefore became an associate professor at Cambridge University.
This year is Zhou Weilie's year of mathematical achievements. He met Yutaka Taniyama and Goro Shimura at an international mathematics conference. During the chat, he learned that the two had proposed new conjectures about elliptic curves and model formulas. He was very interested in this and during the research process
I found that this conjecture was flawed, so I completed and proved this conjecture.
The mathematical community named it the "Taniyama-Shimura-Shou Conjecture".
At the same time, Zhou Weilie published "Preliminary Conception of Connected Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Reduced Groups" in the magazine "Nature". This was a topic he began to study when he was a doctoral student. At that time, it was just a scattered idea. Combined with recent years,
Other mathematicians introduced new theoretical results, and Zhou Weilie finally completed his conjecture.
Once this paper was published, it directly shocked the entire mathematics community and played a decisive role in the future development of mathematics. The result was called the "Zhou Weilie Program".
Zhou Weilie was not only promoted to a professor at the University of Cambridge, but was also awarded the title of academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences and was admitted as a member of the Royal Society. He was also hailed as "a shining star in the world of mathematics" by a science magazine.
At this time, Zhou Weilie was only 26 years old.
…
When a student at Cambridge University was taking final exams, Zhou Weilie left school early for Hong Kong under the pretext of visiting relatives.
When I walked out of the pier carrying my suitcase, I was immediately greeted by seven or eight rickshaw drivers soliciting business, asking eagerly: "Sir, why don't you take a taxi?"
"Go to Taipingshan." Zhou Weilie chose a car at random.
Hong Kong and the UK seem to be two different worlds. There are not only speeding rickshaws and slow-moving trams on the streets, but also ox carts and donkey carts pulling goods. Many street children running and playing are actually naked. It seems like my family can't even afford clothes.
Poor, Hong Kong is very poor and has nothing to do with the "Pearl of the Orient".
The driver asked as he ran: "Where are you going to Taiping Mountain, sir?"
Zhou Weilie said: "Go to the foot of the mountain and take the cable car."
"The scenery on the top of the mountain is so beautiful, you can see it from most of Hong Kong," the coachman asked with a smile, "Sir, have you returned from studying abroad?"
Zhou Weilie replied smoothly: "Yes."
The coachman said: "That gentleman has a future. Anyone who has studied foreign ink can make a lot of money. My son is studying in Mr. Zhou's Hope Primary School and his grades are very good. When he grows up, I will send him to study abroad. By the way, Mr. What’s your surname?”
"The surname is Zhou." Zhou Weilie said.
"Oh, we are from the same family as Mr. Zhou," the coachman said softly. "Mr. Zhou is a kind man. He runs a school without charging tuition and specializes in taking care of the poor. My son can also speak Mandarin, and he speaks it very well. Better than many people from mainland China."
In Hong Kong in the 1950s, Mandarin was the common language in society, because most Hong Kong people fled from the mainland. Hong Kong movies also basically had Mandarin lines. The main box office market was Taiwan (in the past few years, they could also be sold to the mainland), and Cantonese movies It was not until the early 1970s that it gradually became mainstream.
Zhou Hexuan has moved to Hong Kong for ten years. In addition to opening mines and factories and smuggling materials to the mainland, the most important thing he has done is to set up education.
Not to mention founding private middle schools and universities, Zhou Hexuan also opened more than 30 Hope Primary Schools in Hong Kong. At this time, the number of schools in Hong Kong was limited, and most children were unable to study. Zhou Hexuan's Hope Primary Schools became the first choice for poor families.
Zhou Hexuan used private goods when running education. In any school he founded with money, students must be able to listen and speak Mandarin, and there will be an oral exam in Mandarin at the end of the term.
…
Peak of Victoria Peak, Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Weilie rang the doorbell. The old concierge rubbed his eyes and suddenly said happily: "The young master is back!"
"Hello, Uncle Du." Zhou Weilie said with a smile.
"Young Master is still so polite," the old concierge said with a smile.
Several children were running and playing in the garden. When they saw Zhou Weilie approaching, they immediately shouted:
"Uncle!"
"elder brother!"
The two oldest ones are both sons of Zhou Hexuan, and Zhou Xuan gave birth to a little daughter last year. As for the one called "uncle", he is Wanrong's grandson. Zhou Shuoming got married and had a child when he was 18 years old.
The second young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Shuoming, cannot study well or do business. His only advantage is that he is tall and handsome. When this guy was in college, he made the grandniece of Robert Ho Tung, the richest man in Hong Kong, pregnant. He had no choice but to bite the bullet. The marriage can be regarded as a marriage between two major families in Hong Kong.
After graduating from college, Mr. Zhou entered the family company immediately, but he messed up things repeatedly. Zhou Hexuan was so angry that he threw him into Hope Primary School as a teacher. But Zhou Shuoming actually dated a female teacher at the school. When his wife found out, the school immediately became troubled. No peace.
After leaving school, Zhou Shuoming quickly went to work as an actor. He became famous instantly and became a big star in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. By the way, he was promoted to a humanoid self-propelled cannon in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In just a few years, no fewer than ten female celebrities have been rumored to have had affairs with Zhou Shuoming. Recently, he has been madly pursuing the newly popular actress Chen Sisi. And he seems to be serious about it. He has repeatedly asked for divorce and remarry, which made his wife angry.
I went back to my parents' house to complain.
As for the third son of the Zhou family, Zhou Yangquan, he lives in Japan all year round and assists his mother, Liao Yaquan, in managing more than a dozen companies. This kid seems to want to get into politics and is clamoring to become a Japanese citizen. He gave up after being scolded by Zhou Hexuan during the Spring Festival last year.
Zhou Lingjun, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, is also worried. She is still single at the age of 27 and has been studying for a doctorate at the Royal College of Art. She is proficient in literature, music, and painting. She has her eyes set high and looks down on men. She has not yet become serious after graduating from the doctorate.
Have been in love.
Zhou Hexuan even doubted whether his daughter was gay, but this year he suddenly brought a boyfriend home. The man was only 20 years old and had not graduated from college. He was seven years younger than Zhou Lingjun!
But I have to say that Zhou Lingjun's little boyfriend is very handsome. He is not handsome in a effeminate manner, but handsome in a heroic manner, just like the one from the comics.
Zhou Hexuan finally found out that his daughter is not gay, but a super beauty control party.
Zhou Chunxi, the second daughter of the Zhou family, settled in the UK. She is Queen Elizabeth's best friend and became a strong woman under the influence of Her Majesty the Queen. When she was still in high school, Zhou Chunxi studied company management with her grandfather Ornish and is now the Royal Pharmaceutical Company of the United Kingdom.
She is basically in charge, and Ornish is only responsible for steering the show behind the scenes.
Early last year, Zhou Chunxi attended a royal dinner with Queen Elizabeth. King Baudouin of Belgium fell in love with her at first sight and asked Queen Elizabeth to personally act as a matchmaker.
With an indifferent attitude, Zhou Chunxi tried to date the King of Belgium a few times. It felt pretty good, and they kept in touch with each other since then. The king was young, handsome, well-spoken, knowledgeable, and cheerful. He was like a first-class diamond king.
Lao Wu.
The two exchanged letters for more than a year. Mr. King thought the time was ripe, so he flew to London to propose in person.
Zhou Chunxi's reply was: She can agree to get married, but there are three requirements. First, she must live in the UK for at least nine months every year to manage the company; second, the Belgian royal family must not interfere with her private life; third
, Mr. King is not allowed to have an affair, and if he has an affair, he will be divorced immediately.
Regarding the second and third requests, His Majesty the King agreed, but the first request was so difficult for him that he is still considering it.

living room.
Zhou Hexuan, Xu Zhimo, Ye Lingfeng and Xu Yu were playing mahjong, talking about the literary creation situation in Hong Kong while playing cards.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Zhimo stayed in Shanghai. The war quickly washed away his innocence and looseness. Together with his friends Shao Xunmei and Xiang Meili, he engaged in underground publishing in Shanghai, specializing in printing various Anti-Japanese War patriotic pamphlets.
In this time and space, the rapid spread of "On Protracted War" in Shanghai is also due to Xu Zhimo's contribution.
For this reason, Xu Zhimo and Shao Xunmei, two wealthy young men, invested all their property in it and hired bodyguards to hide in Tibet.
It was during the days when they were avoiding Japanese raids that Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman finally broke up. Lu Xiaoman finally got together with Weng Ruiwu, and both of them chose to stay in the mainland. Xu Zhimo came to Hong Kong and remarried Zhang Youyi in 1950.
Now both husband and wife are teachers at the University of Hong Kong, with Xu Zhimo teaching literature and Zhang Youyi teaching German.
As for Ye Lingfeng, he belongs to the old man of the Creation Society. He was a comrade in the literary front with Guo Moruo, Yu Dafu, and Tian Han. He edited "Huanzhou" with Pan Hannian, which was banned, and he also edited "Modern Novel" and was arrested. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War,
, Ye Lingfeng participated in editing the "National Salvation Daily". After the fall of Guangzhou, he moved to Hong Kong and stayed in Hong Kong without moving.
Compared with Xu Zhimo and Ye Lingfeng, Xu Yu's reputation is much weaker. He graduated from the Philosophy Department of Peking University and went to study at the University of Paris. He returned to China immediately after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, but ended up being trapped in Shanghai. He made a living by selling literature.
, spent two and ten years raising travel expenses, passing through Guangdong and Guangxi all the way to Chongqing, where he served as a professor at the Central University.
Xu Xu was known as a "ghost genius" in the literary circles of the Republic of China. His works always contained ghosts and ghosts. The most popular work in 1943 was his "Wind Xiao Xiao". This work is probably the earliest spy novel in China, telling the story of three people.
The struggle between female spies (KMT, Japanese and American spies).
"Wind Xiao Xiao", which describes the spy war, was refreshing to readers. At the time, it was described as follows: "On the Chongqing river ship, almost everyone had a piece of paper...recreating the grand occasion of Luoyang's paper wealth." Not only that, this novel also studied the genre, that is, "late romance"
group".
After moving to Hong Kong, Xu Yu's creative career entered another peak period. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Xu Yu was a leading figure in Hong Kong's literary world!
"Four!" Zhou Hexuan took a mahjong shot.
Xu Xu smiled and said: "Old principal, you are very clever at playing your cards. It doesn't matter if you let me eat it, it doesn't matter if you don't eat it."
When Xu Xu was studying at Peking University, Zhou Hexuan happened to be the principal, so he called Zhou Hexuan the "old principal".
"Eat, why don't you eat what was delivered to your door?" Ye Lingfeng said with a smile.
"If you don't want to eat, you must be self-reliant and it's important to draw the cards," Xu Xu said with a smile, "We are all people with a bottom line, and we are determined not to eat the food that comes to us."
Zhou Hexuan said happily: "Xiao Xu's sarcastic skills are very good."
"Those greenbacks deserve to be scolded!" Xu Yu said as he slapped a card, "Nine barrels!"
"Greenback culture" was very popular in Hong Kong at this time and almost dominated the Hong Kong literary world. The green of "Greenback" was the green of the U.S. dollar. The U.S. government specially established the "Asia Foundation" in Hong Kong to fund publishing companies and magazines.
political literature.
Countless literati who fled from the mainland to Hong Kong were unable to afford food and lived in embarrassment, so they took dollars to create, and attacking the mainland and Japan became politically correct. Among them, Zhang Ailing's "Yangko" and "Love of the Earth" were her first works.
It was written when life in Hong Kong was difficult, and the quality of literature was extremely poor. I just wanted to get US dollars to live.
At this moment, the four people at the card table still adhere to the bottom line of literary creation and hate "greenback culture" deeply. It has nothing to do with politics. They simply feel that using dollars to create and telling lies in their works is disgusting.
Take Zhang Ailing's "Yangge" as an example. It writes about the "tragic current situation" in the rural areas of New China. This woman has never been in the rural areas of New China. What kind of thing can she write? It's all based on random fabrication.
Throughout the 1950s, Hong Kong's literary world was in a confrontation between camps, with one side being the "Greenback clique" and the other the "anti-Greenback clique."
"Dad, I'm back," Zhou Weilie pushed open the door and entered, "Hello, Uncle Ye, and hello, Uncle Xu!"
…
night.
Zhou Hexuan said in shock: "What, are you going to the mainland?"
"Yes," Zhou Weilie explained, "China has established a computing technology planning group, with Mr. Hua Luogeng as the group leader, to prepare for the development of China's electronic computers. Two months ago, I received a secret letter in London inviting me to join the upcoming
The Computing Technology Planning Group and the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences were created.”
Zhou Hexuan objected: "You are a mathematician and software engineering expert, why are you developing a computer?"
Zhou Weilie took out two rolls of microfilm from his bag and said: "These are the design drawings of the latest generation of British computers. I photographed them all on microfilm."
"You're crazy, this is espionage!" Zhou Hexuan said in shock, "Also, how did you get the design drawings?"
"Don't worry about this," Zhou Weilie said with a smile, "When I left the UK, I hid the microfilm in the gift the Queen gave me. No one in the UK dared to open it and look at it."
Zhou Hexuan was silent for a moment and asked: "Have you really decided?"
"It's decided." Zhou Weilie said with a serious expression.
"Wait a moment," Zhou Hexuan quickly finished writing a letter and warned, "give the letter to Duke Zhou. Remember, we are only engaged in research and not politics!"
"I understand." Zhou Weilie put the letter away.
Zhou Hexuan did not interfere too much with his son's choice. With the role he played in Hong Kong, he could completely ensure that his son was safe and sound. Zhou Weilie was definitely a key protection target when he went to the north.
