This doesn’t mean that all is lost. Andrew Wiles’ first attempt at proving Fermat’s Last Theorem was flawed, but he fixed it.

But the difference is that Wiles’ proof was long, and made advances in deep number theory. Li’s is short and comparatively elementary. Anyway he’s already up to version 4 on the ArXiV, which to be honest isn’t a promising sign…
