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。

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for “an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.” Each and every Bitcoin transaction that’s ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. That’s by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins aren’t backed by the government or any issuing institution, and there’s nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. “The reason why it’s worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has value—same as gold,” says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
