2149 Chapter 2149

Without the help of drugs, John's road to recovery was very difficult, but Alicia never gave up and persisted hand in hand with him. The support of his wife is the motivation for John to persevere.

Two months later, John was still suffering from hallucinations. Charles kept roaring angrily in front of him, which made John unable to control his emotions. Returning to Princeton University again, I found my classmate Martin Hansen-he had become the dean of the Department of Mathematics at this time, because Alicia thought that John's adaptation to group life might be beneficial to his illness.

John originally thought that Martin would sneer at him and reject his request, but John still came to Martin's office. Time flies, and the two competitors who were fighting each other back then stood side by side in a teasing way of fate; but Martin nodded and agreed. Well, at least John can go into the library to study.

John tried to enter the library to study, but he didn't have any identification documents and was refused to enter. This made John collapse again under great pressure. He yelled frantically at the library door, "You are not real, You are not real at all... I am not a soldier... There is no mission there! You are not real!" All the students gathered together like a lunatic watching, casting strange glances.

Under Martin's comfort, John calmed down, but those sharp eyes made John unbearable. On the way home, he saw Charles again-this was once his best friend, and all his thoughts Will share with him, even his only support. But now, he had to tell himself: all this is just an illusion.

John almost gave up, but with Alicia's encouragement, he decided to try again.

The next day, John was at Princeton again, and he decided to sit in on a class. But in the corridor, Charles accused John angrily, while Marcie stood by and looked at him with pitiful and innocent eyes. This was a torment for John, an unbearable torment.

"Charles, you have always been a good friend, best friend, but I won't talk to you anymore." John's expression was so difficult and painful, and the slightly frown revealed the helplessness in his heart, only this time , he didn't back down, even though it was difficult, he still suppressed the turmoil in his heart, "I really can't."

Then John walked to the side, bent down, and said to Marcie, who was full of tears, "little girl, you too." A kiss was left on the forehead, and then she pulled the broken hair behind her ears, and said softly, "Goodbye."

The professor in charge of the lecture came to the corridor, waiting for the famous John Nash to arrive, and then he saw John whispering softly into the air, raising his right hand and stroking the air—like a madman.

But at this moment, Nicholas was sitting on the chair, but he didn't feel that he was a lunatic at all. On the contrary, he saw a lonely and painful soul, saying goodbye to his inner attachment and confusion. In the entire empty corridor, there was only John alone, but that kind of strong sense of loneliness rushed over his face. His shoulders seemed to shatter in the faint sunlight.

Nicholas did not expect that it was such a simple scene, but the strong emotion made him completely out of control, and he couldn't cry.

John returned to the daily life of Princeton University. He became an ordinary student on the campus—or a scholar. Unique landscape.

Some people worshiped him, some laughed at him, and some even took fun by imitating his weird movements; at the same time, the hallucinations of Charles, William and Marcie never disappeared, and they were still harassing John constantly, always Tormenting his fragile nerves all the time...

But John has gradually gotten used to ignoring these hallucinations, and really devoted himself to the research work of the university. The passage of time seems to be no longer important. In 1978, twenty years later, John did not suffer from another illness, and his old age did not affect his wisdom—he successfully solved the Riemann Hypothesis.

The young college student Toby Kelly approached John Nash with eyes of admiration, and had an academic discussion with him. Looking at Toby in front of him, John seemed to see himself when he was young, which made him stretch his eyes on Toby. I gave a helping hand and started discussing academic issues with him.

Gradually, John began to integrate into the daily life of the students, discussing topics with a group of mathematics students, and imparting his knowledge to these students. His face was smiling again, his eyes were shining again, and he was truly a part of this university—although his hallucinations were still there, still haunting, but he was no longer afraid." They are my past, and everyone is haunted by the past."

Martin submitted an application to the department and again made John a professor in the mathematics department. Once these were two deadly rivals, but now they have become best friends.

In March 1994, after John finished his daily lectures, a strange visitor appeared. He claimed to be Thomas King, and he came here specially to inform John that he had become a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Throughout his life, John has never been recognized by any awards, which made John a little flustered and a little overwhelmed. At the invitation of Thomas, they entered the honor lounge that only faculty and staff can enter. Since he entered here with the professor many years ago After one time, he hadn't been here in years, and John looked awkward.

When asked about the fact that the general candidates for the Nobel Prize are anonymous, Thomas explained in a vague and cryptic manner, but John understood, "Oh, so you came to see if I was crazy, and to see if I would I won’t really win an award, ruin everything, dance on the rostrum, or learn to crow like a rooster…” This self-mockery made Thomas laugh too, and John held his briefcase stiffly, Carefully protecting himself, it seems that the atmosphere here makes him feel insecure.

"Am I going to embarrass you? Honestly, it's possible." John said honestly, "Look, I... I'm a crazy person, and even though I'm on a new drug, I'm still hallucinating. I just choose to go Ignore them, like dieting, and don't indulge your appetite. Like my symptomatic appetite, and my fictional and imaginary appetite...”

John's words were low and vague, and it seemed that every sentence was so difficult, but his eyes were so clear, he knew exactly what he was doing, this is the truest John Nash.

At this moment, someone came over politely and interrupted John's words, "Professor Nash." Looking up, he found a gray-haired old man. He smiled and took out the Put your own pen on the table in front of John, "I'm glad you're here, John."

John looked at the pen but was stunned, because he remembered that it was a tradition of the school. When he and his professor came here, he witnessed this scene. The pen represented the members' affirmation of the person's lifelong achievements , each pen represents the endorsement of peer professionals. But now, when he came back here again, someone gave him a pen, which made John's brain stop completely, and he could only look at the pen in front of him, motionless.

This is just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, one pen after another was placed on the table in front of John, which made John at a loss. The flashing eyes revealed his nervousness and emotion, "This is completely unexpected." John whispered to Thomas.

Looking at John's eyes full of confusion, his slightly trembling lips, and his hands holding the briefcase stiffly all the time, the turmoil in Nicholas' heart is indescribable. Because he witnessed the birth of history, he accompanied the ups and downs of John's life to the present, and he understands that this moment is hard-won.

A smile bloomed at the corner of Nicholas' mouth, and there were still tears of emotion in his eyes, but the smile was truly released. Not because John has won the respect and affirmation of so many people, but because John finally got out of the shackles and confusion in his heart. With the help of Alicia and his unremitting efforts, he proved himself—— Not a lunatic, on the contrary, he is a genius.

This is his moment of glory.

The applause rang out, not at the cinema, but at the 1994 Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm.

John Nash won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his outstanding contributions to game theory. He stepped onto the awarding platform, looked at the dense crowd, and found Alicia, "I have always believed in numbers, whether it is an equation Or logic, both lead us to think. But after a lifelong quest, I asked myself, 'what is logic, and who decides why', and my quest took me through physics, metaphysics, illusion, and back to square one .I had the most significant breakthrough in my career, and I also found the most important person in my life. Only in this mysterious love equation can I find the logic or reason.”

John's eyes intertwined with Alicia's, and he said affectionately, "It's all thanks to you that I can stand here tonight. You are the factor of my success." Alicia couldn't help but burst into tears, "It's also me The only factor. Thanks!"

All the audience stood up and applauded collectively. John looked at the continuous crowd in front of him with tears, and took heavy and slow steps to his own position.

The awards ceremony was over, John helped Alicia to leave the hall, Charles, William and Marcy were still watching him from the corner, but this time he did not waver, walked slowly side by side with Alicia, supported each other.
