Recently, it was reported on the Internet that "Wei Dongyi donated 16 million yuan to the Dongting Lake flood disaster" and "the lunar sampling trajectory was calculated by Wei Dongyi." A large number of self-media accounts publish relevant information, often receiving tens of thousands of likes and comments. Many netizens praised "Wei Shen", but some people questioned whether it was "porcelain marketing"? On July 8, the media called the School of Mathematical Sciences of Peking University, and the staff stated that they had never heard of this matter.
It is reported that Wei Dongyi won the 2021 Dharma Academy Green Orange Award, with a bonus of up to 1 million yuan. This is already the largest bonus that can be retrieved, and is far from the 16 million competition bonus reported online. The calculation of the lunar sampling trajectory is a complex and delicate process that requires multi-disciplinary expertise and teamwork. There are no authoritative reports on Wei Dongyi's participation on the Internet.
According to previous media reports, in May 2021, some self-media went to Peking University to look for Peking University students to cheer up candidates preparing for the college entrance examination. During the period, they came across Wei Dongyi, who looked like a student but was actually a teacher at Peking University.
At that time, his hair was messy, unkempt, and he even looked a little naive. He was also holding a large mineral water bottle with the outer label off, plus a plastic bag containing white steamed buns.
After briefly introducing himself, Wei Dongyi cheered and encouraged the students who were preparing to take the college entrance examination: "Come on! Welcome to Peking University." Then, he said frankly with a smile, "I won't say anything else."
He is simple and simple. The contrast between his taciturn image and his amazing talent in mathematics has led to him being called "Wei Shen" by netizens and becoming popular on the Internet.
