F or Ken Leung and David Bai, mathematics is never an enigma laden with mystery, but an art form filled with intrigue. The 2016 and 2018 HLMA Gold Award winners discovered the joy of mathematics research during their HLMA journey, and have since aspired to pursue a career in research, with the hope that their research results can inspire the next generation. Ken is currently working towards a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Montréal with a specialization in analytic number theory. David graduated with First Class Honors in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, and is now doing a PhD in Mathematics and conducting research on algebraic geometry at Yale University. The process of research can be strewn with obstacles and is often likened to navigating in the dark: researchers constantly wonder if they are headed in the right direction, how much further they have to go, or if their paths will lead to anything fruitful at all. In the case of Ken and David, how did their enthusiasm for mathematics drive them to devote themselves to mathematics at such a young age? How did they find the motivation and energy to overcome all kinds of obstacles and keep going? 醉心数学 投身数研 满怀信心 坚定前行 A Journey from Mathematics Enthusiasts to Confident Researchers 数学之所以吸引我，在于它所 蕴含的深邃之美。 The driving force behind my passionate pursuit of mathematics lies in the profound beauty it encapsulates. 17 可 持 续 发 展 S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y
