最近被王虹的新闻刷屏了，这名数学家很有可能拿到2026年的菲尔茨奖。
王虹的履历并不是一个中国传统意义上数学天才的故事：高考数学只有130多分、没有参加过什么高级别的奥数竞赛拿过大奖、大学最开始学的也不是数学专业而是从其它专业转过来的。
这样一个非中国典型意义上的数学家能够冲击菲尔茨奖，无疑是给国内的数学教育一记震撼的。对应的，2022年获奖的韩裔许埈珥也是在硕士期间才转到数学专业的。这两人都不能算是数学天才型选手。
我自己觉得，其实不止是数学领域，会解题和真正的研究问题，其实是两个不太一样的技能，中国人更擅长解题，尤其是已经有明确定义的问题。

Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
The messaging service and social-media platform owes creditors roughly $700 million by the end of April, according to people briefed on the company’s plans and loan documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal. At the same time, Telegram Group Inc. must cover rising equipment and bandwidth expenses because of its rapid growth, despite going years without attempting to generate revenue.
