The drama Goldbach's Conjecture was staged in Hohhot, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region on June 22, attracting more than 4,000 visitors from around the city.

As an original drama produced by Xiamen University (XMU), it tells the story of Chinese mathematician Chen Jingrun and his dedication to mathematics.

Xu Jingong, a director of publicity department at XMU said the students and teachers began composing since 2013, with the aim of passing down the spirit of Chen Jingrui.
