The Sun Yuchen Award was also announced today, with two Chinese winners.
They are Yang Quanyu from Xi’an Jiaotong University and Li Yanyang from Southeast University. Both are mathematics students, and one of them is an undergraduate.
The ideas for both projects came from ChatGPT. They verified them, then revised their papers.
It’s worth noting that the Nobel Prizes were announced recently too, and Brother Sun rode the wave of publicity once again. The Nobel Prize comes with 8 million yuan. How much prize money does the Sun Yuchen Award offer?
33 wins and 7 losses—doesn’t that mean the Nasdaq absolutely trounces Buffett?
From 1986 to 2025, you can count the years it actually lost money on your fingers: 1990, 2000, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2008, 2018, and 2022. Those are the only seven red years.
The rest were all green. In 1999, it more than doubled, gaining 101.95%. In 1991, it was up 64.99%.
The dot-com bubble in 2000 and the financial crisis in 2008 looked scary, but it made up for the losses over the following years.
It fell 32.97% in 2022, then bounced back with a 53.81% gain in 2023.
A lot of people think U.S. tech stocks are always near their highs, so they’re afraid to invest. Every downturn hurts, but down years are rare. Those who can’t hold on remember only the red years; those who can hold on enjoy the green ones.

I went over the details of the 2023 Bali couple murder case again and again, and the more I looked, the more unbelievable it seemed.
The man was born in 1998; the woman in 2001.
According to information about the case that has been circulating online, the man started getting involved with cryptocurrency very early—so early, in fact, that it was even rumored he made over a hundred thousand yuan by exploiting a Q币 (QQ Points) vulnerability when he was 14.
Later, because of his involvement in crypto-related fund transactions, he quickly amassed a fortune.
When I got to this point, only one line came to mind:
Isn’t this just a “budget version of Sun Ge”?
Young, entering the coin world early, and accumulating wealth at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people—same in all those ways.
Of course, the life paths of the two people are completely different, and you can’t simply draw a direct comparison. Sun Ge had to bring bodyguards when he went out.
But what really sent chills down my spine was what happened next.
The story circulating online is that he once took part in a high-risk capital transaction, during which there was a leak of information that caused the prices of the related assets to swing violently.
The big figure behind the scenes thought his money had gone wrong, and so a severe motive for revenge emerged.
In the end, a business that may have been nothing more than a way to “make quick money” turned into a tragedy that couldn’t be undone.
It’ll be 2027 soon—does anyone know the truth now?
280 million views, 3 hours, 800x, the first Korean copycat coin!
Zero originates from the Korean virtual boy group character Zero that went viral on Douyin. The character’s design is a deep-gray fur upright black cat, with short legs and a long body; its posture is stiff when dancing.
Related topics have garnered over 280 million views on Douyin, and remix edits and cos content continue to spread.
The token is named with the Korean word “제로,” and is considered the first Korean-named token on the BSC chain.
Its release time closely coincides with the moment Binance founder CZ attended a meeting in Korea.
Behind Sun Yuchen’s success, the cognitive thinking of 2007—back then he was only 17!
Sun Yuchen’s father was a civil servant in the city planning bureau, and his mother was a journalist; his parents’ divorce in his early years made him lack reverence for rules, but it gave him a unique perspective on the world.
Looking back at the article Sun wrote at age 17, it still feels ahead of its time today, and many people may not be able to reach that level of thinking even by their thirties or forties.
No. 1 on the trending searches: In 2027, will China have 300 million people unemployed?
Recently trending all over the internet: A former Google executive predicts that in 2027, AI will trigger a large-scale wave of unemployment, lasting 15 years, and that knowledge-based jobs in China will also be hit.
Some people don’t think this is alarmist—AI is already replacing white-collar jobs like copywriting, design, and basic office work;

Musk’s eldest son streams and rants at his own father, saying that immigrating to Mars is a scam.
Musk’s eldest child was originally named Xavier, and has now changed their name to Vivian Jenna Wilson.
After becoming an adult in 2022, she changed her legal name and gender through legal procedures, and proactively cut off all legal and social ties with Musk.
Musk does not approve of her gender choice, believing it was influenced by a trend.
Vivian has repeatedly publicly criticized Musk; the two have completely split, with almost no contact.

Recently, everyone has been talking about the incident involving students from Harbin Engineering University being disciplined for using a VPN with the campus network.
Many netizens’ concerns are especially consistent: who would use a VPN just to bypass restrictions while also connected to the campus network? Since campus networks themselves are monitored, this kind of operation is very easy to be identified.
Some people think the punishment should be weighed, while others remind that building and using a VPN without authorization is itself a violation; in the campus network environment, traces are more likely to remain.
There are also quite a few students who have started to wonder whether the school monitors campus network traffic. This is a reminder to everyone: don’t use a VPN on your own.

Gossip, gossip—so next, WeChat and Alipay can directly buy A-shares?
Online rumors say WeChat and Alipay can soon directly trade A-shares! The leaks also claim that Tencent may get a broker license earlier than Alibaba, with the fastest timeline being “sometime this year” for implementation!
Meanwhile, across the street, the Wall Street Journal is singing another sour note, calling our A-share market a “deceptive market.”
While foreign capital is relentlessly shorting and criticizing it, we’re preparing to unleash a big move: “everyone can trade stocks with one click”?
If WeChat truly allows people to buy and sell stocks directly, how much new money could that pull in?

At the state banquet main table, everyone is a businessman—there’s no place even for the vice president or the secretary of state.
As expected, the old U.S. is a capitalist country: Musk, Jensen Huang, and Cook were the main hosts. Even the second-in-command, Vance, can’t take a seat at the table.
If this were in our country, then Ma Yun, Ma Huateng (Pony Ma), and Lei Jun could at most only be seated in the corner of the hall, thanking everyone. $NVDA
How many times has an exchange been hacked these years? Have you ever been hacked?
