7月23日，数学家王虹荣获菲尔兹奖[1]，成为历史上首位中国籍、世界第三位获得该奖的女性数学家，年仅35岁[1]。广西日报随后刊登特稿《王的猜想》，文章在网络迅速走红[1]。这份报纸在二手平台被加价出售，部分售价超过60元[1]，引发"一报难求"现象。广西日报随后表示已在加急赶印以满足需求[1]。
王虹1991年出生于广西桂林[1]，2011年获北京大学数学学士学位，2019年获麻省理工学院博士学位[1]。她在2025年成功攻克困扰学界半世纪的三维挂谷猜想[1]。其成长故事和学术成就在网络上引发了广泛共鸣[1]。
Mathematician Wang Hong won the Fields Medal on July 23, becoming a breakthrough figure in global mathematics [1]. The achievement sparked remarkable demand for a Guangxi Daily feature story titled "Wang's Conjecture," with copies of the newspaper reselling on secondhand platforms at prices exceeding 60 yuan each [1]. The phenomenon has drawn comparisons to the historical "paper famine of Luoyang," when classical texts became so sought-after that paper prices skyrocketed.
Wang Hong made history as the first Chinese-born and third female mathematician globally to receive the prestigious Fields Medal, at just 35 years old [1]. Born in Guilin, Guangxi in 1991, she earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Peking University in 2011 and a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2019 [1]. In 2025, she solved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture, a problem that had challenged mathematicians for half a century [1].
The newspaper's feature article captured public imagination, going viral across social media and triggering what became a rush for copies [1]. Facing unprecedented demand, the Guangxi Daily announced it had initiated emergency reprinting to meet reader requests [1]. The surge in interest reflects widespread resonance with Wang Hong's perseverance and achievements among the broader public [1].
