Without the help of medicine, John's road to recovery was very difficult, but Alicia never gave up and worked with him to persevere. His wife's support was John's motivation to persevere.

Two months later, John was still suffering from hallucinations, and Charles kept roaring in front of him, which made John unable to control his emotions. However, with Alicia's support, John returned to Princeton University again after many years and found his classmate Martin Hanson at that time, he had become the head of the Department of Mathematics because Alicia believed that John would be beneficial to his illness when he adapted to group life.

John originally thought Martin would sarcastically and reject his request, but John still came to Martin's office. Time flies, and the two competitors who were facing each other's tit-for-tat side by side again in the way of fate teasing each other; but Martin nodded and agreed, at least John could enter the library to study.

John tried to enter the library to study, but he did not have a document to prove his identity and was refused entry. This made John collapse again under tremendous pressure. He roared wildly at the door of the library, "You are not real, you are not real at all... I am not a soldier... There is no task there! You are not real!" All the students gathered together like crazy people watching, and cast strange eyes.

Under Martin's comfort, John calmed down, but those sharp eyes made John unable to bear it. On the way home, he once again saw Charles, who was his best friend, and he would share all his thoughts with him, even his only support. But now, he had to tell himself: all this is just an illusion.

John almost wanted to give up, but with Alicia's encouragement, he decided to try again.

The next day, John came to Princeton University again and decided to attend a class. However, in the corridor, Charles accused John angrily, while Marcy stood beside him and looked at him with a pitiful innocent look. This was a torment for John, an unbearable torment.

"Charles, you have always been a good friend and best friend, but I will not talk to you anymore." John's expression was so difficult and painful, and his slightly frown revealed his inner helplessness. However, this time, he did not retreat. Even if it was difficult, he still suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, "I really can't."

Then John walked to the side, bent down, and spoke to the tears of Marcy, "Little girl, so do you." John did not dare to look directly at Marcy's eyes, for fear that he would soften his heart again. John left a kiss on Marcy's forehead, then pulled the broken hair in her ear to her ear, and said softly, "Goodbye."

The professor in charge of lectures came to the corridor, waiting for the arrival of the famous John Nash. Then he saw John whispering softly to the air, lifting his right hand and stroking the air like a madman.

But at this moment, Nicholas sat on the chair without feeling that he was a madman at all. On the contrary, he saw a lonely and painful soul, saying goodbye to his inner persistence and confusion. There was only John in the empty corridor, but that strong sense of loneliness came to his face, and John's restrained and fragile shoulder seemed to be broken in the faint sunshine.

Nicholas did not expect that it was such a simple picture, and that rich emotion made him completely out of control and cry in tears.

John returned to his daily life at Princeton University. He became an ordinary student or scholar on campus. He always calculated various theories and formulas on the windows of the library, and gradually became a unique landscape in the school.

Some worship him, some laugh at him, and some even make fun by imitating his weird movements; at the same time, the hallucinations of Charles, William and Marcy have never disappeared, and they are still harassing John, tortureing his fragile nerves all the time...

But John was gradually accustomed to ignoring these hallucinations and truly devoted himself to university research. The passage of time seemed to be no longer important. By 1978, twenty years had passed, but John did not develop illness again, and his aging body did not affect his wisdom. He successfully solved the Riemann hypothesis.

The young college student Toby Kelly approached John Nash with admiration and started a discussion with him on academic issues. Looking at Toby in front of him, John seemed to see himself when he was young, which made him lend a helping hand to Toby and start discussing academic issues with him.

Gradually, John began to integrate into the daily life of students, discussing topics with a group of mathematics students, and imparting his knowledge to these students. A smile appeared on his face again, and his eyes revealed his spirit again, and he truly became a member of this university. Although his hallucinations still exist and still bothered, he was no longer afraid, "They are my past, and in fact everyone is entangled by the past."

Martin submitted an application to the department and once again asked John to serve as a professor in the department of mathematics. They used to be two arch rivals, but now they have become close friends.

In March 1994, John finished his daily lectures and a strange visitor appeared. He claimed to be Thomas King. He came here to inform John that he became a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Economics.

After spending his life, John never received any recognition from the award, which made John a little panicked and at a loss. At the invitation of Thomas, they entered the honor lounge that only faculty members could enter. Since he followed the professor in the past many years ago, he had not been here, and John seemed uneasy.

When asked about the question that the candidates for the Nobel Prize were generally anonymous, Thomas explained obscurely and secretly, but John understood, "Oh, it turns out that you are seeing if I'm crazy, and see if I'll ruin everything after I win the prize, dancing on the rostrum, or learning to crow the chickens..." This self-taught made Thomas laugh, and John held his briefcase restrainedly and protected himself carefully, as if the atmosphere here made him unable to find a sense of security.

"Will I embarrass you? Honestly," John said honestly, "Look, I...I am a lunatic. Although I am taking new drugs, I still have hallucinations. I just choose to ignore them, just like dieting, not indulging my appetite. For example, my symptomatic appetite, and my imaginary appetite..."

John's words were low and vague, as if every sentence was so difficult, but his eyes were so clear that he knew clearly what he was doing, and this was the truest John Nash.

At this moment, someone came over politely and interrupted John's words, "Professor Nash." He looked up and found that it was a gray-haired old man. He smiled, then took out his pen from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of John, "I'm glad you can come here, John."

John was stunned when he looked at the pen because he remembered that this was a tradition in the school. He witnessed this scene when he came here with his professor. The pen represented the members' lifelong achievements. Each pen represented the recognition of the professionals in his peers. Now, when he returned here again, someone gave him a pen, which made John's brain completely stop turning, and he could only look at the pen in front of him, motionless.

This was just the beginning. Then, one pen after another was placed on the table in front of John, which made John overwhelmed. His flashing eyes revealed his nervousness and emotion, "This was completely unexpected." John whispered to Thomas.

Looking at John's mixed eyes, slightly trembling lips, and his hands holding the briefcase with restraint and stiffness, Nicholas's heart was indescribable. Because he witnessed the birth of history, he came to this day with John's ups and downs in his life. He understood that this moment was hard-won.

The smile on the corner of Nicholas's mouth bloomed, and there were still tears of touch in his eyes, but the smile was truly released. It was not because John had won so many respects and affirmations from so many people, but because John finally got out of his inner shackles and confusion. With the help of Alicia and his unremitting efforts, he proved that he was not a lunatic, but on the contrary, he was a genius.

This is his moment of glory.

The applause rang, not at the cinema, but at the 1994 Stockholm Nobel Prize ceremony.

John Nash won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his outstanding contribution to game theory. He walked onto the podium and looked at the dense crowds in the audience to find Alicia. "I have always believed in numbers, whether it is equations or logic, to guide us to think. But after a lifetime pursuit, I asked myself, 'What is logic and who decides the reason'. My pursuit led me through physics, metaphysics, hallucinations, and then back to the origin. I have made the most important breakthrough in my career, and I have also found the most important person in my life. Only in this mysterious love equation can I find logic or reason."

John's eyes were intertwined with Alicia, and he said affectionately, "It's your credit for being able to stand here tonight. You are the factor of my success." Alicia couldn't help but burst into tears, "It's also my only factor. Thank you!"

All the audience stood up and applauded. John looked at the endless crowd in front of him with tears in his eyes, and took heavy and slowly, moving towards his own position.
