China has achieved a historic milestone by producing its first two Fields Medal winners, Wang Hong and Deng Yu, who received their undergraduate training in mainland China.
Taille de police
For the first time, China has produced Fields Medal winners educated on its own soil – and two at once.
Chinese mathematicians Wang Hong and Deng Yu took the honour, alongside John Pardon and Jacob Tsimerman.
It is also the first time that two mathematicians who completed their undergraduate training in mainland China have shared the prize in the same year.
With this, China becomes the fifth country – after the United States, France, Britain and Russia – to produce two Fields laureates in a single ceremony, and the first Asian nation to do so.
