I had exactly the same experience during my postdoc there.

here is a more recent paper where I am one of the authors: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol9/p828-deng.pdf

What the article doesn't say is the reason why Yitang would not come back visit his family. Not sure if it is his own decision (makes sense as he lost connection with his family for many years) or some political reason (China doesn't allow him to go home).

you got to read this article from his sister: https://zhishifenzi-com.translate.goog/depth/character/480.h...

I just read an article from Yitang Zhang's little sister (in Chinese). It touched my soul. A must-read (translated from Chinese using Google translation): https://zhishifenzi-com.translate.goog/depth/character/480.h...

Part of the translation is not so perfect and you have to use your best guess sometimes. The Chinese version is a masterpiece.

In addition, here is an article from Yitang Zhang's PhD advisor. Not so nice: https://www.math.purdue.edu/~ttm/ZhangYt.pdf

His PhD advisor is rude: https://www.math.purdue.edu/~ttm/ZhangYt.pdf
