Abstract:

The article is for general readers who may have heard the name, Goldbach or Jingrun Chen (陈景润) and would like to know some mathematical problems related to them. There are four sections in the article. The first two sections are for those who are only interested in the stories, developments, latest results of the two Goldbach conjectures, their differences in difficulty and Chen’s achievement. If after having read the first two sections, one would like to know more about mathematical information and explanation on the contents in the first two sections, one may go further to the last two sections.
