I Am the President of the University

Chapter 469

On a beautiful country flight to Huaxia Ludao.

"Hey, Xia! I must taste the local delicacies when I come to Ludao this time!"

"Professor, Ludao's food...may not suit your taste."

"Walter??" Broad, who was reading a travel guide for Heron Island, put down the map when he heard these words, stared wide blue eyes, and looked at the yellow-skinned young man beside him in surprise.

"No! How can Huaxia's food taste bad! Xia, you must be lying to me!"

Xia Ning scratched his head and explained with a wry smile: "Professor, the local delicacies of Ludao are mainly seafood or light, which is different from what you like to eat."

Although he has never been to Heron Island, he has never eaten pork or seen a pig run.

China has a vast territory, but most coastal cities are relatively light or salty in the south and the north.

The delicacies on Ludao seem to be sand tea noodles, frozen bamboo shoots, etc. I can't remember the other Xia Nings.

"Oh God!"

Professor Broad's face is ashes. As a fan of Chinese cuisine, especially Sichuan cuisine, he is deeply loved. The reason is naturally that his student Xia Ning is from Huaxia Fu Province.

Seemingly thinking of something, Broad said excitedly to Xia Ning: "Xia, let's go to Rongcheng after getting off the plane!"

"Professor, it will be the afternoon of the 20th when we arrive at Ludao Island. The time is too rushed." Xia Ning directly hit Professor Broad's whim.

On the afternoon of the 20th, I arrived at Ludao Island. After the jet lag is over, it will be on the 21st, and the morning of the 22nd is the opening ceremony of the forum. There is still time to go to Rongcheng.

However, looking at the disappointment in the eyes of his teacher, Professor Broad, he could not bear to comfort him: "Professor, you don't have to worry, although the local food in Ludao is not to your taste, there will also be Sichuan and Hunan restaurants on Ludao. , you don't have to go to Rongcheng to eat Sichuan cuisine."

"Good!!!"

The senior foodie was instantly satisfied when he heard that he had something to eat, and his mood was like a roller coaster, turning from worry to joy.

Or when he was older, Brod had a sore neck and moved his neck from side to side. When he turned his head, he unexpectedly found that the face sitting in the second position on his right was somewhat familiar.

The other party, like Xia Ning, has yellow skin and black hair, and if there is no accident, he is also a Chinese.

"Professor, what are you looking at?" Xia Ning asked beside him.

"I seem to have seen an old friend." Broad smiled at Xia Ning, "and he is also your senior, I will introduce you to meet him later.

"

"My senior???" Xia Ning looked stunned, he didn't remember who Professor Broad was referring to, he could only watch him calling out to each other.

Xu Chenyang, who was using a computer to read documents on arXiv, suddenly felt as if someone was calling him.

But now on the plane, who would call him?

Looking left and right, his eyes finally fell on the left side by the aisle.

"Professor Broad?" Xu Chenyang said in surprise.

It's not that he was surprised why the other party appeared on the direct flight to Ludao, but he was surprised that he was on the same flight as him.

Barry Broad, professor at Harvard University, a famous physicist, chemist, and materials scientist in China He has made outstanding contributions in many fields such as supramolecular assembly, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, physical organic chemistry, soft lithography, and microfluidics. Award, the 2003 Kyoto Prize for Materials Science and Technology, the 2005 Dan David Prize, and the 2007 Priestley Prize.

To put it simply, this Professor Broad is a great scientist across the three fields of physics, chemistry and materials, and a national treasure-level scientist in a beautiful country!

"Professor Xu! Change positions with the lady next to you, and then let's chat?" Professor Broad was a little excited to meet Xu Chenyang on the plane.

When the other party communicated with the lady next to him, Broad and Xia Ning next to him introduced with a smile: "Xia, you should be familiar with this fellow of yours, right?"

"Professor, do you think I don't know the winner of the Cole Algebra Prize?" Xia Ning said with a pouted lip.

Xu Chenyang is currently a professor and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a famous mathematician. He has won the Young Scientist Award, the Young Science and Technology Award, the International Center for Theoretical Physics and the International Mathematical Union Ramanu Gold Award and other gold-filled awards.

But if I want to talk about the highest achievement, it is the Cole Algebra Award that I won on the 10th of this month.

The Cole Prize for Algebra is awarded every three years in recognition of prestigious algebraic research that has taken place over the past six years. It is one of the highest awards in the field of algebra in mathematics, and it is also used as one of the outpost awards of the Fields Medal and Abel Prize among the famous mathematical awards.

The Chinese mathematics community even caused an uproar, because this is the first time that a Chinese has won this award since the Cole Prize in Algebra was established in 1928 for nearly a hundred years!

Note that the key word is Chinese, and Chinese Americans are not counted, otherwise there will be two winners of the Fields Medal in China.

It's just that Xia Ning was a little curious as to why Xu Chenyang, who had just won the World Mathematics Award, appeared on this flight.

A mathematician, wouldn't he also attend this 2020Nature China Forum?

This is the same question that Professor Broad wants to ask.

Looking at Xu Chenyang who was across the aisle from him, Broad asked directly, "Professor Xu, are you also going to the China Forum co-hosted by Guanghua University and Nature?"

"Yes, it was President Chen of Guanghua University who invited me to visit Guanghua University and participate in the China Forum on the 22nd." Xu Chenyang said calmly, then looked up at Broad and Xia Ning next to him, With a slight smile, "Professor Broad surprised me that Guanghua University was able to invite you."

"Hahaha, because that old man Stephen always shows off his students in front of me, this time I just took this opportunity to take my students to Guanghua University to see this Chen Hao." Professor Broad snorted proudly, but in the end "Hao" became "good" because of nonstandard pronunciation.

"Professor, please chat with Professor Xu and don't bring me! Please!" Xia Ning said with a black face, gritted his teeth and said here.

Now if there was a crack in the ground, he would go in without hesitation!

He studied under Professor Broad and is now an associate professor at Harvard University. He is also well-known in the material field, but compared with the prosperous Chen Hao, he is simply a bright light and a bright moon.

"Xia, even if you don't believe in yourself, believe in my vision!" Broad patted Xia Ning's shoulder and said proudly, "After all, my ability to see people is more accurate than scientific research. ."

Seeing this scene, Xu Chenyang couldn't help but smile, maybe in the hearts of all teachers in the world, his students are the best.

After chatting with Broad for a while, I realized that Xia Ning was in the same high school as himself, which was the former Rongcheng No. 9 High School.

Because of this relationship, the atmosphere has become much more harmonious.

We chatted for nearly an hour, and finally ended when Professor Broad showed a tired face.

With headphones on, Xu Chenyang closed his eyes and rested.

There was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

The closer he got to Huaxia, the more frightened and uneasy he felt in his heart.

After graduating with a master's degree from Peking University 16 years ago, he went to Princeton University to start his doctorate. From 2004 to 2012, he stayed for 8 years, and finally returned to China after completing his studies.

From 2012 to 2018, I spent 6 years doing research and interpersonal communication at Peking University.

When he became famous, he suddenly retreated from Huaxia and went back to the beautiful country.

Many people do not understand him, and even the netizens who praised him before are insulting and slandering him.

He didn't feel bad, because his enthusiasm for the Chinese mathematics community was extinguished at Peking University.

Now, after being repeatedly invited by Chen Hao, he decided to visit Guanghua University.

But, here at Guanghua University, will there be a pure land of pure mathematics?

he does not know.

But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Li Yugang's drama sounded in the earphones.

"The red sun rises in the east | Its avenues are full of rays of light."

This lyric comes from Mr. Liang Qichao's "Chinese Youth Talk" in "The red sun is rising, and its path is bright".

I remember when I was in elementary school, the Chinese teacher was holding a textbook on the podium, drooling, and reciting impassively: "My young China is beautiful, and the sky is not old! How strong is my Chinese boy, and the country has no boundaries!"

This picture, as if it happened yesterday, is so clear.

"My country is boundless | with benevolence | a thousand-year-old faith."

I think of the childhood days in Shancheng, the time of studying in Rongcheng, and the days of studying in Beijing.

"Fortunately born in China..."

Xu Chenyang paused, tears welling in his eyes.

He whispered and continued:

"Don't regret it!"

ps: Professor Broad is a fiction, referring to the famous scientist Whitesides, Professor M (probably you don't know either, coincidentally, I don't know either)

There are only two chapters today. My coding speed is too slow. I wrote this chapter for more than 3 hours, and it took a lot of time to check the information.

Finally, ask for a monthly ticket~
