A perfect score on the college entrance exam? The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng has astonis

On Zhihu.

How would you evaluate Chen Mo's proof of the Poincaré conjecture?

It received thousands of replies within a minute of being posted.

Every answer says the same thing: "It's true, Peking University has verified it, he's right."

The entire internet is in an uproar.

It didn't explode slowly; it exploded instantly.

All the previous doubts, suspicions, and ridicule were silenced at this moment.

Those who said "impossible" fell silent.

Those who said "wait for verification" have changed their tune.

Those who said "even if it's true, there must be a team" were criticized and deleted their comments.

Because Peking University's announcement was not "we believe it may be correct".

It means "We confirm that it is correct".

Seven groups, twenty-one experts, seven days, verifying word by word.

This is not a statement, this is a conclusion.

Principal Wang saw the announcement in his office.

He was reviewing documents when his phone vibrated.

He saw the news pushed to his screen.

"Peking University School of Mathematical Sciences: Chen Mo's proof of the Poincaré conjecture is correct."

He put down his pen, picked up his phone, and read the line of text three times.

Then he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the students running on the playground, and remained silent for a long time.

He turned around, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the number of the academic affairs director.

"Old Zhang, put everything down and do a few things for me."

"First, immediately arrange for someone to put up a banner and hang it at the main entrance. I've already thought of the content: 'Warmly congratulate our student Chen Mo on proving the Poincaré conjecture and making a major contribution to the history of mathematics.'"

Second, contact the school history museum to dedicate a separate exhibition area to Chen Mo's name, including his perfect score college entrance examination essay, his "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng," "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River," "Exhortation to Learning," and his proof of the Poincaré conjecture.

"Third, inform all homeroom teachers that today's class meeting will be changed to a themed class meeting on learning from the advanced deeds of senior student Chen Mo."

He paused for a moment, his voice a little hoarse.

"He is not just the pride of our school, he is the pride of our country."

The academic affairs director paused for two seconds on the other end of the phone, and then said something.

"Principal, I'll take care of it right away."

The phone hangs up.

Principal Wang stood by the window, watching the students running on the playground, and suddenly smiled.

He thought that many years later, these students would have grown up.

They would tell their own children.

My father went to the same school as Chen Mo and witnessed the birth of a genius.

The banners were put up at the school that afternoon.

Three red banners with white lettering stretched from the school gate all the way to the teaching building.

The first sign at the main entrance reads, "Warm congratulations to our student Chen Mo for proving the Poincaré conjecture."

The second sign, located by the playground, reads, "Learn from Chen Mo and strive to reach the pinnacle of science."

The third sign at the entrance of the cafeteria reads "The dining table used by senior student Chen Mo".

This last one was the idea of ​​the academic affairs director. After seeing it, Principal Wang was silent for three seconds, and then said something.

"Keep it. It might become a tourist attraction someday."

After class, first- and second-year high school students flocked to the school gate, taking photos with their phones and posting them on WeChat Moments and Douyin.

Some people were taking photos under the banner, while others were shouting, "Senior Chen Mo is awesome!"

Someone asked, "What is the Poincaré conjecture?"

Someone immediately replied, "You don't know? A mathematical problem that no one has been able to solve for over a hundred years has been solved by senior student Chen Mo."

The person who asked the question was taken aback.

During a class meeting, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Fang, opened the announcement on Peking University's official website.

Projected onto the screen.

He read it aloud to the students, word by word.

After he finished reading, he looked at the wide-eyed students below the stage and said something.

"You're in the same school as Chen Mo, which isn't something to brag about. It's a direction you should strive for. He proved how far humanity can go, and you should at least try to see if you can reach half of his level."

Someone in the audience raised their hand and asked a question.

"Teacher Fang, what is Chen Mo like at school?"

Old Fang thought for a moment and said something that silenced the whole class.

"He usually scores around 400 points on tests, sleeps in class, and stares blankly after class, ignoring everyone."

The classroom remained quiet for a long time.

The online storm reached its climax at this moment.

Everyone was doing the same thing—flooding Liu Zhiyuan's account.

His last video is still up there, with the words "I'm waiting for his proof. If it's true, I'll leave the internet" written in big red letters on the cover.

At this moment, the comment section of this video has been flooded with millions of messages.

Every single one of them says the same thing.

"Withdraw from the network."

It's not "Please leave the website".

It's not "You should quit the internet".

It's just two words.

"Withdraw from the network."

Like knives flying out of the screen and stabbing into him.

Some people even started digging into his past.

Someone dug up his earliest video questioning Chen Mo's perfect score on the college entrance exam.

The caption reads, "This person kicked Chen Mo the hardest when he needed support the most."

Some people have dug up his Weibo post questioning whether the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" was written by a ghostwriter.

The caption reads, "When Chen Mo wrote 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng,' he said it was written by his team."

Now that Chen Mo has proven the Poincaré conjecture, where is his team?

Now that Chen Mo has proven the Poincaré conjecture, where is his team?

Someone dug up the GG he had received.

The caption reads, "This champion of justice who 'speaks out for truth' is asking for 800,000 for a single Google Ad."

Someone in the comments section summed it up in one sentence.

"He is not speaking out for the truth, he is speaking out for traffic. Truth is just a facade for him, traffic is his life."

The report button was pressed countless times.

Not tens of thousands of times, but millions of times.

Douyin's review system received a massive number of reports in a short period of time.

The manual review process was automatically triggered.

The review result was as expected.

Liu Zhiyuan's account was removed from the platform for "publishing false information, maliciously spreading rumors, and seriously disrupting the platform's order."

Permanently banned.

His profile picture turned gray, and his name changed to "Reset".

All the videos on the homepage have disappeared, leaving only one line of text.

"This account has been banned for violating community rules."

Liu Zhiyuan sat in his study at home, with a computer screen in front of him.

The screen shows his now-banned Douyin (TikTok) profile.

His phone was vibrating on the table, not just once or twice, but continuously and intensely, as if it had been hit by something.

He neither answered nor looked at it.

He knew who was making those calls.

The sponsor's legal department, the platform's review department, and the partner's termination notice.

Every phone call said the same thing: you breached the contract, you have to pay compensation.

He picked up his phone.

I found a number in my contacts labeled "Lawyer Zhang".

There are already seven missed calls.

He didn't call back because he knew what the other person wanted to say.

The GG contract includes a "reputation clause".

If Party B's reputation is damaged due to its personal conduct, Party A has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract and demand compensation.

He signed seven such contracts, each with a six-figure penalty for breach of contract.

Add up.

That's all his income over the past few years.

That's not even enough.

Despair engulfed him like a tidal wave.
