数学家丘成桐近日接受采访，就基础科学研究和中国数学发展等议题阐述了自己的观点。他认为中国基础科学已能跟上世界潮流但还不能引领1，并建议相关部门在拨款时约将25%用于基础科学研究，因为这类研究通常需要5-10年才能显现价值1。丘成桐指出，虽然王虹、邓煜等菲尔兹奖获得者的成果在海外完成，但他期待未来五年内中国能在本土培养出世界一流的数学研究成果1。
在人才培养问题上，丘成桐强调关键在于环境和心理建设而非天赋1。他表示"真正做研究，跟天赋有关系，但不大"，认为60%以上的孩子都具备天赋，最重要的是克服失败的心理障碍1。他反对过度刷题的做法，主张让学生在12岁前接触数学的美而非工具性，培养内在兴趣1。丘成桐强烈反对过度追求"帽子"和人才奖励的现象，指出这样会导致年轻人"为拿奖励而做科研"，呼吁年轻人应"走自己的路"进行自由探索1。他认为"逆境可以出人才，但顺境也可以出人才"，关键在于在做学问过程中建立自信1。此外，他指出若菲尔兹奖得主等高端人才回国，需要有"很好的土壤和环境"支撑，否则"就是浪费人才"1。
Renowned mathematician Qiu Chengtou outlined his vision for advancing China's mathematics to world-leading status in a recent interview, emphasizing that sustained investment in fundamental research and a cultural shift in how talent is cultivated are essential 1.
Qiu stressed that basic scientific research typically requires five to ten years before yielding visible results, and recommended that funding agencies allocate approximately 25 percent of appropriations specifically toward foundational scientific research 1. While acknowledging that Chinese mathematicians Wang Hong and Deng Yu achieved Fields Medal-winning results overseas, he expressed hope that China will nurture world-class mathematical breakthroughs on home soil 1. He argued that for recipients of major awards like Deng Yu to return and contribute effectively, China must provide "excellent soil and environment," cautioning that otherwise "it amounts to wasting talent" 1.
Qiu challenged prevailing assumptions about mathematical talent, asserting that "genuine research has little to do with innate ability," and contended that more than 60 percent of children possess the necessary aptitude 1. He emphasized that environment and resilience in the face of failure matter far more than raw talent. He strongly opposed excessive drilling in mathematics education, advocating instead that students be introduced to the beauty of mathematics rather than treating it merely as a tool before age twelve 1. Most critically, Qiu opposed the widespread pursuit of institutional honors and awards, warning that young researchers must "walk their own path," since excessive focus on accolades leads scientists to conduct research for prizes rather than genuine discovery—"a mistaken approach" 1.
