"It's great that Professor Huo can agree!" Jin Kaicheng saw that Huo Yaowen promised to give a speech to the students of the Chinese Department of Peking University, and immediately applied to President Zhou: "President Zhou, I want to apply for the Peking University Auditorium for Professor Huo's speech this time. ”

The auditorium of Peking University in the mouth of Jin Kaicheng is the most representative "Shide Building" of Peking University, this auditorium is the most magnificent building in the classical garden area of Peking University, which was built in 1926, and the unicorn and Danqi in front of the building are the relics of the Old Summer Palace.

"No problem. President Zhou laughed and said, "Professor Jin, don't worry, I will contact the people in the auditorium later to publicize Professor Huo's speech on the campus of Peking University." ”

Seeing Jin Kaicheng and President Zhou talking and laughing, he chose the place where he spoke, and Huo Yaowen, who was still worried about what to say, couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

When he visited Peking University in his later life, he had heard of the "Peking University Auditorium", and he knew very well that the people who could enter it to give speeches to students were all political, academic, and business leaders. It can be said that being able to give a speech to students in the auditorium is regarded as the highest courtesy by Peking University.

Tang Yijie: "Mr. Huo, the auditorium of Peking University is generally not easy to open, and it can be seen that Professor Jin and President Zhou are very optimistic and looking forward to the content of your speech Mr. Huo. ”

"Then it looks like I'm going to get ready. Huo Yaowen couldn't help but show a wry smile in his heart, he thought he was just coming to participate in some philosophical exchange meetings, but he didn't expect to be forced to give a speech.

Jin Kaicheng invited Huo Yaowen to give a speech to the students of the Chinese Department on an impromptu basis, even with the full support of President Zhou, but the follow-up preparations will take two or three days.

Fortunately, the philosophical exchange meeting is scheduled for the next Monday, and there are still three days before the next week, which is enough for Jin Kaicheng to prepare the layout and arrangement of the auditorium.

As for Huo Yaowen's words, after he returned to the dormitory, he began to think about what to teach to the students of the Chinese Department, first of all, the literary speech was directly excluded, Huo Yaowen is not an academic person, no matter how good he speaks, he can't compare to those professionals.

As for President Zhou's previous statement to tell students about foreign literary works, this is even more impossible, not to mention that this is only the early stage of reform and opening up, and there are few foreign literary works that flow to the public except for a few now.

Can't you tell the students of Peking University about "How Steel is Made", right?

After racking his brains for a night, Huo Yaowen was stunned and didn't think about what to say.

……

Huo Yaowen on the other end was still worried about the speech, and Jin Kaicheng here had already posted a big-character poster under the teaching building of the Chinese Department.

As soon as the big-character poster was posted, after class that day, the students walked out of the teaching building and were immediately attracted by the big-character poster on the notice board downstairs.

Zhang Pengxuan, who had just finished class and was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, suddenly saw that the notice board was full of classmates, and curiously pulled his friends Yu Zi, Cheng Xiaobo and others to the side of the notice board, wanting to see what was going on.

As soon as I got closer, I heard a classmate read: "This weekend, April 21, the university of Peking University invited Mr. Huo Yaowen to give a lecture in the auditorium of Peking University......

"Who is Huo Yaowen?"

Zhang Pengxuan was stunned, and didn't think that there was a well-known scholar surnamed Huo in China.

"I don't know. ”

Yu Zi shook his head, he didn't know that Huo Yaowen was the scholar.

"The point is not who Huo Yaowen is, but that the place where this person gives a lecture is actually the auditorium!"

Cheng Xiaobo paid attention to the key points.

Not only were they curious, but the students around them who couldn't squeeze in also pricked up their ears to listen to the people in front of them continue to read.

“… Professor Fok Yiu-man is a well-known professor in the Department of Philosophy of the University of Hong Kong, and once proposed the philosophical theory of "brain in a vat" at the World Congress of Philosophy held in Viana in 1969, which attracted great attention from philosophers from all over the world who came to attend the philosophical conference at that time. At the invitation of the organizer of the conference, a philosophical symposium was held......"

Philosopher?

What lectures do philosophers give to our Chinese department?

When the onlookers heard that Huo Yaowen was a professor of philosophy from Hong Kong, they immediately lost interest.

In addition to being a philosopher, Professor Fok Yaowen is also a family, philanthropist and educator. In 1968, Professor Fok Yaowen was invited to the United States to participate in an international writing exchange conference, and in the same year, he published his first science fiction work "1999 - Our Journey is the Sea of Stars" in the United States. ”

"When it was published, it was a hit with American science fiction enthusiasts, selling millions of copies in just a few months. The second and third series of works published afterwards have attracted wide attention around the world......"

As the students in the first row read the content of the big-character poster little by little, the onlookers were dumbfounded, if they weren't for the top talents in China, I am afraid that they would not be able to help shouting "" at this time!

It's not that I'm surprised by some of Huo Yaowen's achievements, but the point is that a person can have so much energy to engage in philosophy, charity, literary creation, and even teaching and educating people.

In 1980, the mainland was still in the ignorant stage of reform and opening up, and most people had their own dreams, some wanted to be a teacher, some wanted to be a literary writer, and there were few multi-faceted cross-border people like Huo Yaowen.

To study philosophy is to specialize in the study of philosophy, and to engage in literary creation is to specialize in literary creation.

Therefore, when Jin Kaicheng posted the collected information about Huo Yaowen on the notice board of the Chinese Department in the form of a big-character poster, he originally wanted to introduce the identity and achievements of this professor who was going to give a speech, and it was regarded as a warm-up work for the auditorium speech the day after tomorrow, so as to avoid that the students had not heard Huo Yaowen's name and were not ready to attend this lecture.

The effect that Jin Kaicheng wants is naturally there, and it is surprisingly good!

Not only in just half a day, it spread to all students in the entire Chinese department, but also by many students from other departments.

Among them, the most interesting are the students of the Department of Philosophy, the theory of the brain in a jar has not been exposed to or heard of by most of the students of the Department of Philosophy, but the "World Congress of Philosophy", a grand event in the international philosophical community, is a holy place that almost every person who studies philosophy dreams of!

Just like the "Olympic Games" or the "World Cup", every philosopher aspires to have the opportunity to participate in the "World Congress of Philosophy" and discuss topics related to philosophical research and new ideas with the world's top philosophers.

Huo Yaowen, who was invited by Peking University to give a speech this time, not only participated in the philosophy conference, but was also invited by the organizer to hold a private lecture at the conference, which can imagine how attractive it is to philosophy lovers!

If the students of the Department of Philosophy wanted to come and listen to the lecture because Huo Yaowen participated in the Philosophy Conference, then the students of other departments simply wanted to join in the fun, or to see what the person who could give a speech in the auditorium looked like.

For a while, Huo Yaowen's speech had already caused a sensation on the entire Peking University campus before it began.

At the same time, there are countless students who want to participate in the lecture and submit their applications.
