1945, Zhong Kailai won the boxer indemnity Scholarship and went to study in the United States at public expense to study for a doctorate at Princeton University. On his first day in Princeton, he said, "I must go to the best restaurant in town!" " "He dragged his luggage all the way from the train station to the best French restaurant in Princeton. He was covered in dust and untidy, so the doorman let him in. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he immediately recognized a diner as Harald Cramér, who was the first person in the field of probability statistics at that time. A few days ago, he came to Princeton as a visiting scholar from Stockholm University. Zhong Kailai ran to Professor Kramer, introduced himself and had dinner with him. After dinner, Kramer became Zhong Kailai's doctoral supervisor. Kramer was only in Princeton for two years. Two years later, Zhong Kailai received his doctorate, and Kramer returned to Stockholm University as president.

After Zhong Kailai became famous, he and Schiller attended many international academic conferences. Once in Berlin, during the meeting tea break, the chairman of the meeting, a promising young man, came up to Zhong Kailai and wanted to talk to him. As a result, Zhong Kailai scolded the young man before he started. "Madam President, the Russians who spoke just now will praise themselves. As soon as he praises himself, everyone will propose a toast, and he will propose a toast to eleven people in an hour. We can't talk about him, can't you remind him? " Zhong Kailai stopped talking and lowered his head to eat cake and drink coffee. Seeing that the young man didn't leave, he added, "For the sake of the cake, forget it. Gee, this German really knows how to make cakes. "

Zhong Kailai and Schiller co-founded a series of seminars to discuss the difficult problems of probability theory, which were held in different universities regularly. There is a workshop at Stanford University where he teaches, and the time is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Schiller said to Zhong Kailai, "There is another statistical meeting in Stanford on Tuesday afternoon. Many statisticians are sure that they want to attend these two meetings. You might as well find another time. " Zhong Kailai high-five laugh, "this time I just specially arranged! So all statisticians can't come to my studio. I hate statisticians the most. "

When he first entered Tsinghua University, he studied physics, so he skipped classes and offended Professor Wu. He had to transfer to the math department because he thought Hua was too wordy. After graduating from Princeton, he specialized in probability theory, which he learned the least in mathematics. Probability and statistics are inseparable. To study probability, you must have a solid statistical foundation, but he has just publicly declared that he "hates statisticians". In this way, he narrowed the scope of his fist and finally became the first person in the field of probability theory in the United States, known as the "godfather of probability" in the United States. In recent years, due to the application of probability theory in the fields of finance and economy, it has quickly become a hot academic topic. In the United States, professors who study probability are either students of Mr. Zhong Kailai or students of other students. His works on probability theory are cited most frequently by professional academic papers, and the evaluation of the American Mathematical Society is that "Zhong's works are wise, elegant, refined and full of human nature."

Professor Schiller said that Zhong Kailai is a person who is very curious about everything. He will never get tired of his field or the world. He will be surprised when he hears and sees anything. "Ah, that's interesting!" "Few people are familiar with Mr. Zhong. Just as the name Schrodinger is mistaken for China by many people, Zhong Kailai is often mistaken for a westerner or a China. In fact, Mr. Zhong is a native of Hangzhou, studied under China, and is a student of Xu, one of the pioneers of probability theory and mathematical statistics in China.

Zhong Kailai gives people a feeling of awe. Just outside the Fahrenheit Gate, one day, an old man in China talked a lot. Not convinced, I went home and threw a dozen pages of programmatic words to Hua in class the next day, which means you can take it and have a look. Grandpa Hua is very unhappy and says that you are just a young man. Playing this game with me, Hua also tossed around all night, but he simply compressed the 10 page into three pages and returned it. At that time, it was the National The National SouthWest Associated University, and the learning atmosphere was evident.

After studying in the United States, Zhong Kailai followed a Daniel of Probability who was in the United States at that time. This guy is also a snob. He scolded Zhong Kailai as soon as he saw him. He totally scolded him. It's a piece of shit. He also marked the grammatical mistakes in Zhong Kailai's paper with a red pen. Jason Chung is very angry. It doesn't matter what you lose your temper. He ran to the library to find out all his works and marked all the grammatical mistakes with a red pen.

One day, when Shen Congwen met Zhong Kailai, Zhong Kailai corrected me: You wrote murder in Shen Congwen's Autobiography, letting the prisoner decide life and death, saying that the chances of the prisoner surviving accounted for two-thirds (Yang Yi, Shun Yi: release; Yi Yin: beheaded), that's not right, it should be three quarters (Yang Yi, Shun Yi II: one yin, one yang and one yin; Yi Yin).

Zhong Kailai originally studied in the Physics Department of Tsinghua University (National Southwest Associated University). At that time, Mr. Wu was the president of The National SouthWest Associated University Science Research Institute. Wu set up an optics course. After listening to several classes, Zhong Kailai felt that all his teaching contents were in the book and he could teach himself, so he began to skip classes. But at that time, there were only dozens of students in the school of science, one of whom was in the sky. Wu soon discovered the fact of skipping classes and flew into a rage. Zhong Kailai was worried about getting along in the future, so he transferred to the Department of Mathematics.
