Chapter 468： My Country's Wanjiang

Chapter 469

On a beautiful country flight to Huaxia Ludao.

"Hey, Xia! I must try the local delicacies when I come to Heron Island this time!"

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

"Walter??" Brod, who was reading a travel guide for Heron Island, heard this and put down the map, 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 had to explain 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 pigs running.

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

Lu Island's delicacies seem to be some sand tea noodles, jelly of soil bamboo shoots, etc. I can't remember other Xia Nings.

"Oh God!"

Professor Brod's face was ashes. As a fan of Chinese cuisine, especially Sichuan cuisine, he was very fond of it. The reason was naturally that his student Xia Ning came from Huaxia Prefecture.

seems to be thinking of something, Broad said to Xia Ning excitedly: "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. Time is too rushed." Xia Ning directly hit Professor Broad's whim.

I went to Ludao on the afternoon of the 20th, and it was the 21st after the jet lag, and the morning of the 22nd was the opening ceremony of the forum, so 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, don't 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."

"Goode!!!"

The senior foodie was instantly satisfied when he heard the food, and his mood was like a roller coaster, turning from worry to joy.

Maybe because he was old, Broad 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 to his right was somewhat familiar.

The other party, like Xia Ning, has yellow skin and black hair, and if nothing else, he is also a Chinese.

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

"I think I saw an old friend." Broad smiled at Xia Ning, "And he's also your senior. I'll introduce you to meet him later."

"My senior???" Xia Ning looked bewildered, 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?

looked left and right, and 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 that 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 beautiful scientist at the national treasure level!

"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.

Just when the other party was communicating with the lady next to him, Brod and Xia Ning next to him introduced with a smile: "Xia, you should be familiar with this compatriot, right?"

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

Xu Chenyang is currently a professor and doctoral tutor 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 the highest achievement is the Cole Algebra Prize won on the 10th of this month.

The Cole Prize for Algebra is awarded every three years to honor prestigious research in algebra 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 Prize, appeared on this flight.

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

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 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 is a crack in the ground, he will get into it without hesitation!

He studied under Professor Broad and is now an associate professor at Harvard University. He is also well-known in the field of materials science, but compared with Chen Hao, who is in full swing, 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. ."

Xu Chenyang couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, 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 him, 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 looked tired.

Wearing headphones, Xu Chenyang closed his eyes and rested.

There is an inexplicable emotion rushing up in my heart.

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

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

From 12 to 2018, he 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, 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 in the earphones sounded.

"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", "The red sun is rising, and its path is bright."

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

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

"My country is boundless | with benevolence | faith that will never die for a thousand years."

Thinking 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, with tears 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 (I guess 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 pass~
