Bai Chuwei had an epiphany last night proving the Chen Family's Conjecture, and she expected the netizens would be excited, but she hadn't envisaged this level of frenzy.
After all, when you "special follow" a video creator, the moment they go live, their fans receive instant notifications. Thus, as soon as she went online, new messages kept piling up on the message board!
"Front row to witness a world-class mathematician! Such a novelty in Salted Fish videos, ah ah."
"I'm a doctoral student in the mathematics department. I cried last night. I only understood the first two pages of the proof. I think I might not graduate this year."
"Don't cry, buddy upstairs. My professor told me that understanding two pages of the proof already makes you a rare talent in China's mathematics community. I only got half a page, what am I saying?"
