Princeton.
An office in the Institute for Advanced Study.
Wei Wen sat at his desk while staring at the draft paper on his table.
Around 2019, after Lu Zhou left Princeton, he recommended Wei Wen to study mathematical physics under Professor Edward Witten.
Wei Wen was at first quite excited to study a PhD under Professor Witten.
Anyone who was in the mathematical physics field or who knew anything about mathematical physics had heard of Witten's name before.
However, studying a PhD under a big name was obviously not an easy task. His excitement didn't last very long, and soon, he began to feel the pressure.
Because Witten had to frequently visit CERN, he would be at Princeton only a third of the time. Most of the time, Wei Wen had to face his academic difficulties alone.
