I Am the President of the University

Chapter 469 Our Country’s Ten Thousand Frontiers

On a flight from Beautiful China to Huaxia Ludao.

"Hey, Xia! I must taste the local food this time when I go to Ludao!"

"Professor, the food on Ludao...may not be to your taste."

"Walt??" Brod, who was reading a Heron Island travel guide, immediately put down the map when he heard this sentence, his blue eyes widened, and he looked at the yellow-skinned young man next to him in surprise.

"No! How can there be any bad food in China? Xia, you must have lied to me!"

Xia Ning scratched his head and could only explain with a wry smile: "Professor, the local food on Ludao is mainly seafood or light, which is different from what you like to eat."

Although he has never been to Ludao, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away.

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

The delicacies on Ludao seem to be some kind of sand tea noodles, bamboo shoot jelly, etc. Xia Ning can't remember the other ones.

"Oh God!"

Professor Broad's face was ashen. As a supporter of Chinese cuisine, especially Sichuan cuisine, the reason was naturally that his student Xia Ning was from China's Xiafu Province.

As if he had thought of something, Brod said excitedly to Xia Ning: "Xia, let's go to Rongcheng first after getting off the plane!"

"Professor, it will be the afternoon of the 20th when we arrive at Ludao. We are in such a hurry." Xia Ning directly responded to Professor Broad's sudden whim.

We arrived at Ludao on the afternoon of the 20th. After the time difference, we were on the 21st. The opening ceremony of the forum was on the morning of the 22nd, so there was no time to go to Chengdu.

However, seeing the disappointment in the eyes of his teacher, Professor Brod, he could not bear to comfort him: "Professor, don't worry, although the local food on Ludao is not to your taste, there are also Sichuan and Hunan restaurants on Ludao. , you don’t have to go to Chengdu to eat Sichuan food.”

"Good!!!"

The veteran foodie was immediately satisfied when he heard that there was something to eat, and his mood was like a roller coaster, from worry to joy.

Perhaps because he was old, Brod's neck was a little sore, so he moved his neck left and right. When he turned his head, he unexpectedly found that the face sitting second to his right was somewhat familiar.

The other person, like Xia Ning, has yellow skin and black hair. If nothing else, he is also Chinese.

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

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

"My senior???" Xia Ning was confused. She didn't remember who Professor Brod was referring to, so she could only watch him calling him out.

Xu Chenyang, who was reading documents on arXiv on his computer, suddenly felt as if someone was calling him.

But now on the plane, who would call me?

After looking around for a while, his eyes finally landed on the left side of the aisle.

"Professor Broad?" Xu Chenyang said with some 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 is a professor at Harvard University, a famous physicist, chemist, and materials scientist in the United States. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is an expert in organometallic chemistry, nanotechnology, He has made outstanding contributions to many fields such as supramolecular assembly, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, physical organic chemistry, soft lithography, and microfluidics. He has won the 1995 Arthur Science Prize, the 1998 American National Medal of Science, and the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Award, the 2003 Kyoto Prize for Materials Science and Technology, the 2005 Dan David Prize and the 2007 Priestley Prize, among other awards.

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

"Professor Xu! Can you change places with the lady next to you, and then we can chat together?" Professor Broad was a little excited to meet Xu Chenyang on the plane.

While the other party was communicating with the lady next to him, Brod and Xia Ning beside him smiled and introduced: "Xia, this compatriot of yours should be familiar to you, right?"

"Professor, do you think I don't know the winner of the Cole Algebra Prize?" Xia Ning curled her lips and said.

Xu Chenyang is currently a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Mathematics at MIT and a famous mathematician. He has won the Young Scientist Award, the Youth Science and Technology Award, the International Center for Theoretical Physics and the International Mathematical Union Ramanujan Award, etc.

But the highest achievement is the Cole Algebra Prize won on the 10th of this month. \b

The Cole Medal in Algebra is awarded every three years to noteworthy algebraic research that has occurred within the past six years. It is one of the highest awards in the field of algebra in mathematics, and is also regarded as one of the sentinel awards among the famous mathematics awards such as the Fields Medal and the Abel Prize.

The Chinese mathematics community even caused an uproar, because this is the first time that a Chinese has won this award in the nearly 100 years since the Cole Algebra Prize was established in 1928!

Note that the key word is Chinese, and Chinese Americans are not counted. Otherwise, China would have had two Fields Medal winners.

But Xia Ning was a little curious. Why did Professor Xu Chenyang, who had just won the World Mathematics Award, appear on this flight?

A mathematician would definitely attend this 2020 Nature China Forum, right?

This question is also what 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 attend the China Forum co-sponsored 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 very calmly, then looked up at Brod and Xia Ning beside him, Smiling slightly, "Professor Broad makes me a little surprised that Guanghua University can invite you."

"Hahaha, because that old man Stephen always shows off his students in front of me, I just took this opportunity to take my students to Guanghua University to meet Chen Hao." Professor Broad said arrogantly, but the last "Hao "Because the pronunciation is not standard, it became "good".

"Professor, please don't take me with you when chatting with Professor Xu! Please!" Xia Ning said with a dark face and gritted teeth.

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

He studied under Professor Broad and is now an associate professor at Harvard University. He is also famous in the field of materials science, but compared with Chen Hao, who is at the height of his power, he is simply a fluorescent light competing with the bright moon. \b

"Xia, even if you don't believe in yourself, you still have to believe in my vision!" Brod patted Xia Ning's shoulder and said very proudly, "After all, I, Brod, am better at judging people than doing scientific research. "

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

After chatting with Brod for a while, he found out that Xia Ning went to the same high school as him, which was the former Chengcheng No. 9 Middle School.

Because of this relationship, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

The chat lasted for nearly an hour, and finally ended when Professor Brod looked tired.

Wearing headphones, Xu Chenyang closed his eyes and rested.

There was an inexplicable emotion running through my heart.

The closer he got to China, the more frightened and uneasy he felt.

He graduated from Peking University with a master's degree in 2004, and then went to Princeton University to study for a doctoral degree.

From 2004 to 2012, I stayed for 8 full years, and finally returned to China after completing my studies.

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

When he became famous, he suddenly left China and returned to the beautiful country.

Many people don't understand him, and even netizens who praised him before are abusing and slandering him.

He did not feel bad because his passion for the Chinese mathematics community was extinguished at Peking University.

Today, after repeated invitations from Chen Hao, he decided to visit Guanghua University.

But, is there a pure land for pure mathematics here at Guanghua University?

he does not know.

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

Li Yugang's drama sounded in the headphones.

"The red sun rises in the east and its avenues are filled with glow."

This lyrics comes from Mr. Liang Qichao's "Chinese Youth Story", "The red sun rises, and its path is bright."

I still remember when I was in elementary school, the Chinese teacher was holding a textbook on the podium, salivating, and read impassionedly:

"How beautiful is my young Chinese, who is as old as the sky! How magnificent is my young Chinese, who is boundless with the country!"

This picture seems to have happened yesterday, it is so clear.

"The faith of benevolence in all the borders of our country will last for thousands of years."

I think of my childhood in Shancheng, my study days in Chengdu, and my days of studying in the capital.

"Fortunate to be born in China..."

Xu Chenyang paused, his eyes red and filled with tears.

He lowered his head, his voice low and firm:

"Don't regret it!"

ps: Professor Broad is fictional and is a reference to the famous scientist Whitesides, Professor M (I guess you don’t know him either, by coincidence, I don’t know him either)

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

Finally, please give me a monthly ticket~
