Before becoming a Fields Medalist, renowned mathematician Shing-Tung Yau spent three years working on the Calabi conjecture and believed he had found a counter example. He announced the result at a major conference, only to later discover that he was wrong. During the interview with CGTN's Tian Wei, Yau recalls the experience as deeply painful, but it did not stop him. He spent another three years rebuilding his approach, step by step, eventually solving the problem. #ICBS2026 šŗ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:š https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg š Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.c
