Handshake Between Two Giants

Entrance of Jin Ling University.

Professor Faltings stood on the curbside with a black suitcase. He looked at the building nearby and spoke.

"Ten years ago, I never would have imagined myself coming here. But now, I've been here many times."

"I've only been here twice," Schultz said as he dragged his suitcase. "It feels different each time I come here."

"It's my first time," an old man in his 50s said. He looked at the people walking into campus and said, "I've only seen this place in movies before."

Faltings: "Oh, really? What do you think?"

The old man smiled and said, "The movies are all lies."

Standing next to them was none other than Professor Holden.

As the secretary-general of the International Mathematical Union, he came to Jin Ling City mainly to negotiate with the Chinese Mathematicians Association and the local Jin Ling City government, to discuss the upcoming International Congress of Mathematicians conference.
