After saying that, he walked out of the auditorium.
Only Wittens and the crowd were left, looking at each other in dismay.
He left?
He received a medal and a certificate...
Then, he left?
Should he not be emotional and sigh for a while longer?
Should he not be giving his blessings to the new mathematicians?
Should he not release new conjectures and new problems?
This...
Lin Fan had left too quickly and too suddenly. For a moment, everyone was unable to react, causing the entire auditorium to fall into a short silence.
After a while, someone said hesitantly, "Is it... over?"
"I... think so?"
After all, the Fields Medal winner had already left.
If this was not the end yet, what was?
Everyone present stared at each other.
They were at a loss.
This was the Fields Medal Award Ceremony!
It ended just like that?
History… They had witnessed it just like that?
