Scientist

Lu Zhou had obviously heard of him as the old man was famous as hell.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Professor Qiu was the leading figure in China's mathematics world.

He was comparable to the likes of Hua Luogeng and Chen Shengshen.

PhD at 22 years old, associate professor at 25 years old, solving the Calabi Conjecture at 27 years old, winning the Fields Medal at 34… It was like this guy was hacking in real life.

These academic achievements made him one of the most influential mathematicians today. His influence extended to many different fields such as topology, algebraic geometry, general relativity, and even high-energy physics!

The most famous was his proof of the Calabi Conjecture, which directly laid the theoretical foundation of the superstring theory in 1980.

In the theoretical physics world, this old gentleman was widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of superstring theory.
