6. Other Stories (Part II)
Jiang Shuiyuan knew that Uncle Ge had started to advertise for Jingshi University again, so he smiled and didn't speak. When he was about to walk to the Chengqi Pavilion, he asked Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, in your opinion, what is so good about Jingshi University?"
Chen Xuan thought for a while: "Before I was admitted to Jingshi University, like Miss Huang, I also felt that Jingshi University was good everywhere. After waiting for Jingshi University, I found that Jingshi University is good, but it is not without shortcomings. To give an inappropriate example, it's like chasing a favorite girl, when you don't catch her, you think she is good and beautiful everywhere, and when you catch it, you will look at the problem objectively and find that she may not be very good at cooking, and her personality is a little willful, and so on. ”
When Uncle Ge heard this, he couldn't help but stab him: "Then what about after you leave the university?
Chen Xuan raised three fingers: "Although what you mean is roughly the same, there are three points I want to correct, first of all, I haven't talked about a girlfriend yet, so there is no such magical creature as 'ex-girlfriend', and 'missing an ex-girlfriend' is a completely false proposition! Secondly, after leaving college, it is not like missing an ex-girlfriend, but like turning a girlfriend into a wife, not only fully affirming her goodness, but also trying to tolerate her bad side." Thirdly, my feelings for my alma mater now are more like those of parents towards their children, and I can criticize her unceremoniously, pointing out her shortcomings and shortcomings, but I will never allow others to say anything bad about her!"
Uncle Ge snorted a few times: "You still have a little conscience!"
It is estimated that it is rare to hear someone say that the shortcomings of Jingshi University, especially from the mouth of the alumni of Jingshi University, Huang Tongyuan couldn't help but ask: "Then Mr. Chen, tell me, what are the disadvantages of Jingshi University?"
"That's a lot!" Chen Xuan folded his hands and said: "First of all, what I want to complain about most is the ratio of men and women! There is a famous saying in Jingshi University that 'the ratio of men and women is five to one, and a couple has two pairs of bases', you can imagine what kind of aquatic and fiery days this is! I remember once going to Peking Normal University to attend a meeting of fellow villagers, and I heard that the ratio of men to women in their school is four to six, please note that girls are six and boys are four! Boys can basically find beautiful girlfriends as long as they have no special hobbies or congenital disabilities. When I heard this, my hara was about to flow out. ”
Huang Tongyuan looked at Chen Xuan, and then at Ge Juntian: "Then why don't you go to the Normal University to find it?"
Chen Xuan looked sad: "Do you think we haven't thought about it? We really don't have time or energy! This is the second point I want to complain about next, the pressure of schoolwork is too heavy." For example, in our Department of Mathematics, we should not only learn the professional science of mathematics, but also learn the modern physics and quantum mechanics of physics, the organic chemistry and physical chemistry of chemistry, the microcomputer principle of computers, assembly language, the principle of single-chip microcomputer and circuit analysis of electronics, and a series of inexplicable things. Every time my classmates from other schools see me, they can't help but ask me, 'Hey, didn't you study math?
Huang Tongyuan said with a smile: "With such a training like you, it is indeed very convenient to change careers." ”
Chen Xuan shrugged helplessly: "We not only learn widely, but also deeply. I remember that a professor from the Department of Mathematics of a teacher college in Xikang came to our department as a visiting scholar, and after listening to the class for a semester, he came to the conclusion that the level of academic year papers of the famous universities in the east is equal to the level of the graduation theses of their ordinary universities in the west, and the level of the academic papers of the Jingshi University is equal to the level of the graduation papers of other famous universities in the east. His words may be exaggerated, but it also shows how profound we have learned!"
Ge Juntian had a different opinion: "I don't learn deeply, and everything is a little bit of water, is that still higher education?"
Chen Xuan ignored him and continued to complain: "In the end, I want to complain that the campus is too big! As you can see, you have to take a bus to walk around the campus, let alone live and study in it for four years. When I was in college, I was very envious when I saw my friends who were studying in other schools riding bicycles and taking their girlfriends for a ride on campus, because this not only requires a girlfriend, but also a particularly good physical strength! You see that our school is so big, and there are mountains everywhere, high and low, ups and downs, how strong does a body have to be to take a girl around?"
Huang Tongyuan blinked: "Why do I feel like this is a showmanship?"
Jiang Shuiyuan also felt the same way: "I feel the same way!"
Chen Xuan patted Jiang Shuiyuan on the shoulder: "If you want to ask me what is the best thing about Jingshi University, my answer is a student." I don't want to say how many Nobel Prize winners, how many Sun Yuanqi International Young Scientist Award winners have been among the students who graduated from Jingshi University, and I don't want to say how many alumni of Jingshi University account for academicians and members of the National Assembly of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”
Huang Tongyuan said with emotion: "Indeed, although Jingshi University does not recruit many students every year, it has recruited the best talents in the country!"
"It's not terrible to be excellent, what is terrible is that excellent people work harder than you!" Chen Xuan pointed around and said, "See, although the Spring Festival has just passed and the school has not yet started, the library, self-study room, and research institute are already crowded with people." Even when running or exercising, many people have a notebook in their hands or a headset on their heads, and use their time to memorize books and listen to the radio. Perhaps many people will think that they are all nerds, who can only read, study, and do experiments, without any interest in life and normal hobbies. In fact, this is not the case. The so-called scholars or gods are not only better than you in learning, but also better at playing than you. The annual orientation party, New Year's Day party and graduation party, as well as the sports league between colleges and universities in Beijing, the level of Jingshi University students is definitely at the professional level. No matter how lazy and procrastinating you were before, with so many excellent classmates, you are like a fly lying on the tail of a maxima or a dandelion wrapped in a hurricane, you will be pushed forward by the invisible huge force, and you will become excellent unconsciously!"
Huang Tongyuan was even more fascinated: "This is really an inspiring place!"
Jiang Shuiyuan thought of another question: "Everyone runs so fast, isn't there anyone left behind?"
Every year, there are students who drop out because they can't bear the pressure of schoolwork, and the dropout rate of students at Jingshi University has always been high, one of the best among the universities in Beijing. Ge Juntian took over the topic, "Of course, those who drop out of school are not only those who can't keep up with their studies, but also those who can't think about it." Do you know where the brightest students at Jingshi University are?"
Jiang Shuiyuan replied hesitantly, "In prison?"
Uncle Ge couldn't help but give Jiang Shuiyuan a burst of chest: "What do you think about all day long? Can't you think of something good? For example, suicide?"
Huang Tongyuan was surprised: "There are suicides?"
"Of course there is! Which university doesn't? Is this very new?" Ge Juntian seemed to take this question very lightly: "Jiang Shuiyuan, you continue to guess, I guessed right, I will invite you to eat roast duck from the cheap shop!"
Jiang Shuiyuan thought seriously for a few seconds in order to be able to eat Uncle Ge's roast duck: "Mental hospital?"
"Even if it's not in the middle, it's not far away!" Ge Juntian said and pointed in the direction of Xiangshan: "Many of the brightest students in Jingshi University are in temples, including Shifang Pujue Temple (i.e., Reclining Buddha Temple) in Xiangshan, Tanzhe Temple in Mentougou, Lingguang Temple in Badachu, Yunju Temple in Fangshan, Lama Temple near the Temple of Earth, and so on. Some people say that half of the abbots of the famous temples in the capital are students of Jingsei University, which can be seen from this. ”
Huang Tongyuan was a little sad: "Why can't they think about it?"
"Because smart people are prone to get into the horns, and once they get into it, it's hard to come out again, just like Newton, who became famous and spent all his good time studying the Bible that was difficult to understand. - Of course, it seems to us that it is impossible to think of it, but it seems to them that it is to be opened!"
