Su probably would have preferred another location for his party: a room at the Hua Dong Hospital, where he's been confined since 1995 for treatment of lung, kidney and liver problems.
Su's academic career began at a Zhejiang Province middle school when a teacher saw a boy with promise and arranged for him to study abroad.
Su once told his students, "Scientific development is the key to rejuvenating the whole nation, and education in math is a key to that effort."
