The 2023 Shaw Awards ceremony was recently held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech. Li Jiachao congratulated all winners from 2020 to 2023, describing their achievements as "not only reflecting their lifelong pursuit of academic excellence, but also providing important inspiration to scientists and researchers from around the world, especially the younger generation". He stated that Hong Kong has world-class universities and research institutions, as well as local academic talents, committed to bringing social change in multiple scientific fields to benefit humanity. This year's Mathematical Science Award was won by Vladimir Dreinfeld and Qiu Chengtong, who grew up in Hong Kong, In his acceptance speech, he expressed special gratitude to his parents: "My father made me an aspiring scholar, while my mother encouraged me to explore my ideals and the mysteries of nature. Even if my family environment was difficult, they firmly supported me to become a scientist." After winning the award, Qiu Chengtong also accepted an interview with a reporter from Guangzhou Daily Hong Kong News Station, discussing how Hong Kong should respond to the current international environment, And the current research status in mainland China. Qiu Chengtong pointed out that the technology clusters in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area are jointly vigorously developing scientific research. From the perspective of Chinese cities, Beijing places the most emphasis on academic research, followed by Shanghai, and the Greater Bay Area must keep up with the pace. But everyone must remember not to rush for quick success and instant benefits. When hiring professors and principals, it is even more important to not allow them to come and go freely. Today, I am working as a part-time lecturer and principal here, but tomorrow I will go elsewhere. Only full-time principals have the heart and effort to run a university well. "When it comes to cultivating children's interest in mathematics, Qiu Chengtong emphasized that Olympiad mathematics is only a way to enhance students' interest in mathematics. He mentioned that the main reason why Chinese children have little interest in learning is "mechanical training", which deprives them of the ability and time to think. Excessive training can actually make children lose interest in learning. It's like eating the same dish, feeling delicious the first time, feeling good the second time, feeling okay the third time, and feeling tired and disgusted the fourth time. "It's not about mechanical training, but Qiu Chengtong does not deny" a lot of training ". He believes that" famous teachers "are important and should not emphasize" talent "too much, Chinese children have a talent for mathematics, and talent is not the most important factor in the entire teaching process. The influence of society and teachers is even more important. Throughout history, whether in the West or China, the greatest mathematicians have not been geniuses. Everyone has received a lot of training and hardships in order to complete their university studies
