From the outbreak of the "HNY" virus to the verdict of the entire case, after the defendant chose to accept the verdict instead of continuing to appeal, the wonderful drama that lasted for half a year still has not really come to an end.

You must know that half a year has passed from the New Year's Day case to the conclusion of the case. During these six months, it was naturally impossible for the perpetrator to return to the University of California, San Diego, where he had previously studied, to continue his studies. For such a student who cannot find a justification for his long-term absence, the school can expel him.

With the personal intercession of Li Xuan, the richest man in the world, UCSD's Principal Bao Green quickly responded and decided to give the misguided students a chance to return to their lost paths.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the third-largest newspaper in the United States and the most widely circulated newspaper on the West Coast, he said that an important part of the school's existence is to transmit the right values to students. Instead of closing the door of help and pushing them further into the abyss when they needed guidance the most.

Therefore, UCSD is willing to provide a chance for redemption for students who make mistakes. In the future, they will be able to apply their programming knowledge to create meaningful software, rather than inventing computer viruses that are designed to destroy them.

Of course, since Li Xuan chose to make a move, it was naturally impossible to just write an open letter to the principal of UCSD, but to make the end of the matter more beautiful. This is because according to the laws of Hong Kong, probationers are obliged to report their situation to the Correctional Services Department regularly during the probationary period.

Li Xuan went out to the Supreme Court of Hong Kong to obtain a special case, that is, to allow the offender to complete 200 hours of community volunteer service. They can escape the surveillance of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department and return to the United States to continue their studies. Of course, the Supreme Court of Hong Kong agreed to this exception. It is a condition that the offender will be supervised by a probation officer of the U.S. Judiciary during his or her studies in the U.S., and that the relevant reports will be regularly forwarded to the Hong Kong Judiciary.

In other words, for the sake of this Internet virus case, the judicial departments of Hong Kong and the United States have carried out transnational judicial cooperation. If it weren't for Li Xuan's strong connections in Hong Kong and the United States, the judicial departments of the two countries would not have been able to go to such great lengths for a criminal.

Of course, since you have paid so much, the benefits will naturally not be less. At least Li Xuan received a lot of affirmation and praise. The media in Hong Kong and the United States have a positive attitude towards this approach.

For the American media in particular, the United States is a beacon of freedom and democracy that they preach. The government and the law should defend the maximum rights of every citizen.

Although this time the perpetrator was not an American. It's just an international student studying in the United States. However, this people-oriented spirit is the cornerstone of a society governed by the rule of law. Therefore, the way this case was executed was quickly packaged as a model on behalf of the government to do its best to protect the rights and interests of every citizen!

While Hong Kong on this side of the Jiehe River was very lively because of a sudden Internet virus storm, Chinese mainland on the other side of the Jiehe River was much calmer. Of course. This calmness is actually relative. The Deep Sea Special Zone is the place with the fastest Internet development in China.

As early as September 1985, when Southern University of Science and Technology was first established, it opened the first international networking channel in China for its own computer center. A dedicated fibre optic line from Hong Kong has enabled China's computers to connect to the global network for the first time.

In another time and space, China's early Internet development actually lagged far behind the world. China did not start the Internet until 1987. At that time, Professor Wiener Zöhn of the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. During a scientific seminar in Beijing, the line of the PAD machine located in Beijing was routed through the Italian public packet network ITAPAC. Successfully sent the first e-mail in China's history from Beijing to Germany.

But China's Internet did not really begin to enlighten until 198-9, when the State Planning Commission launched China's first networking project, the Zhongguancun Education and Research Demonstration Network (NCFC).

The CSTnet network (China Science and Technology Network), which was developed and evolved from NCFC, represented China to connect to the global Internet for the first time through an international network line with a network speed of 64K, which would not happen until 1994.

So much so that the country domain of China ". CN: "Although as early as the end of 1990, the Chinese side authorized Professor Zorn of Germany to register on its behalf. However, for a long time, the name servers could only be hosted on the computer system of the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. The domain name server was not transferred back to the China Internet Network (CIC) until CSTnet was connected to the world.

But with the promotion of Li Xuan's butterfly, the current development of China's Internet is much better than in another time and space. China's first backbone network, CSTnet, began to be built as early as 1985 with a $10 million grant from Li Xuan's Oceanpower Foundation and a matching fund of 30 million yuan from the central government as a start-up fund.

After three years of construction, the CSTnet backbone network has been built in Beijing, Shanghai and eastern Guangdong. The two places with the largest concentration of Chinese universities, Beijing and Shanghai, and Guangdong Province, which is at the forefront of China's reform and opening up, have achieved unified networking of major universities, research institutes, and important government departments in these three places.

As early as last year, China and Hong Kong reached an agreement on network interconnection, which allowed China's computers to be successfully connected to the rest of the world through Hong Kong's transit. You must know that the United States has just completed the construction of the NSFnet network, and NSFnet has not yet become the backbone of the world's early Internet as it will be in a few years.

In other words, the United States has not yet become the maker of the rules of the game on the global Internet. But after a few years, the importance of the Internet became more and more prominent, and more and more countries accepted the TCP/IP protocol. Started actively connecting to the NSFnet network.

The strong position of the United States is becoming more and more prominent, for example, China in another time and space, as early as 1991, began to talk to Americans about connecting to the NSFnet network. But it took three years of negotiations before the agreement was finally signed.

For a new field, the sooner you join, the more confidence and hole cards you have. And when everyone else has already set the rules, you want to squeeze in and let someone else play with you, and the price you need to pay will naturally be much more expensive.

In addition to the Internet, the computer industry has also risen very rapidly in China in recent years. Of course, to a certain extent, it can also be said that it is the rapid popularization of computers in China that has led to the early development of China's Internet.

I want to popularize computers in China in the eighties. It's actually a very difficult thing to do. Because for Chinese, who have not yet fully popularized televisions, computers are a very expensive luxury. You must know that a well-equipped miscellaneous ABC-1 compatible machine is still priced as high as 5,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

Even at the official exchange rate of the People's Bank of China, the conversion is carried out. The import of a Hong Kong-made ABC-1 compatible machine also exceeds 2,000 yuan. Of course, the ABC-1 computer was localized several years ago.

In particular, after the first domestic wafer factory in the deep-sea special zone was put into operation, the 6502 processor, the core component required for the production of ABC-1, has also been able to achieve self-production. This makes the price of the domestic ABC-1 compatible machine. Finally there was a huge drop.

Moreover, the Ministry of Electronics Industry is based on the actual situation in the country. With the technical support of the Oriental Group, as early as the beginning of last year, a simplified version of the ABC-1 compatible machine was launched, named the Zhonghua Learning Machine.

The host of this Chinese learning machine does not need to buy a special computer monitor, but can be used immediately, a home color or black and white TV to replace the monitor, and with a cassette recorder, you can form a basic system.

The price of this learning machine is only 700 yuan. The price is lower than that of black and white color TVs, which is greatly reduced in domestic middle schools. The cost of promoting introductory computer education. Of course, even if the price of the Chinese learning machine is already low to the point that it can't be lower, this price is still a big burden for ordinary families with a monthly income of only two or three hundred.

However, compared with a few years ago, the price of computers that often cost five or six thousand yuan, the price of Chinese learning machines is at least something that ordinary people can really touch. Many parents would rather shrink their own clothes and diet, and they will grit their teeth to help their children buy such a learning machine, so as not to let the next generation lose at the starting line.

Under the joint promotion of the Ministry of Electronic Industry and the State Education Commission, the Chinese learning machine also quickly began to enter the campus. In particular, in the key primary and secondary schools in the city, more and more schools have built computer classrooms based on Chinese learning machines.

At the end of June, the deep-sea special zone was already scorching hot, and the campus of SUSTech was a little less nervous and serious. Since the final exams are over, you can put aside your books for a while and let yourself relax.

The annual summer vacation has actually begun, but the campus of SUSTech is as lively as ever, and it is not deserted at all. Because almost all students chose to stay in school instead of going home for the summer.

SUSTech began its first enrollment in 1985, and now there are two batches of students from the class of '85 and '86 on campus, and a third batch of students from the class of '87 will be brought in a few months later.

Although SUSTech is a new school without any background, it is not easier to step into this university than to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Because the goal that this university set for itself at the beginning of its establishment was not to become a first-class university in China, but to become a world-class university.

Compared with its neighbor, Shenhai University, SUSTech's starting point is undoubtedly much higher. Although the two universities now have similar enrollment sizes, only a few hundred students per year. However, Shenzhen University mainly recruits students in eastern Guangdong Province, while SUSTech recruits students from all over the country. Among the 86 freshmen enrolled last year, SUSTech snatched five provincial college entrance examination champions from Tsinghua University and Peking University.

In fact, SUSTech students are under a lot of pressure, on the one hand, they have a heavy workload. For example, many professional courses at SUSTech are directly taught in English. This forces every student who enters SUSTech to quickly make up for their English proficiency in the freshman year before there are many major courses.

You must know that Chinese students in the 80s generally did not have a good level of English, especially the ability to listen and speak. At this time, in the college entrance examination, there was no English listening at all, so everyone learned dumb English in middle school.

In addition to studying, another thing that makes SUSTech students feel great pressure is the high tuition fees. Higher education in China in the 80s was paid for by the state and the government. Although since the mid-80s, the State Education Commission has gradually begun to carry out pilot projects in terms of two-way choice between self-financed students and employment, SUSTech is definitely the most special university under the current system in China.

Because it not only charges students tuition, but also the tuition fee is very expensive every academic year! Now SUSTech undergraduate students have a tuition fee of 3,000 yuan per academic year and a accommodation fee of 500 yuan. If you include miscellaneous expenses such as books, food, and living expenses, a student who comes to SUSTech needs to spend at least 5,000 yuan per year.

You must know that the Deep Sea Special Zone can be said to be the most expensive city in China now. Prices in other parts of China are still in a planned economic system, for example, it only costs four or five cents to buy a pound of meat. However, most of the prices in the deep-sea special zone have been highly market-oriented from the beginning, and the price of a pound of meat here is as high as two or three yuan.

The total annual income of the average urban household in China is less than 5,000 yuan, let alone the much lower income of rural families. In other words, even if parents don't eat or drink all year round, they can't afford to let their children study at SUSTech. But in fact, SUSTech's enrollment last year was even more popular than the first year, and countless top students from all over the country hoped to enter the new university.

Because although the tuition fee of SUSTech is extremely expensive, in fact, the scholarship provided by SUSTech is also very generous. The first-class scholarship is up to 8,000 yuan, the second-class scholarship is 5,000 yuan, and the third-class scholarship is 2,000 yuan, with a ratio of 2 to 3 to 5.

In other words, 50% of all students can have no worries about food and clothing with only scholarships. For the remaining half of the students, although the scholarship cannot cover all the school expenses, there is no need to be nervous. Because Jiahua Bank will provide a student loan of 3,000 yuan per academic year, which is guaranteed by Oceanpower Fund.

Of course, the biggest difference between these student loans and scholarships is naturally to be repaid, and because Jiahua Bank is a commercial bank, it also has to make a profit. Therefore, although Jiahua Bank's student loan will have certain concessions in terms of interest rate, it is by no means a low-interest or even interest-free loan.

However, many students are still willing to study at SUSTech even if they are burdened with loans. Because the development opportunities that will be provided here are far from being available to other universities in China!

It is said that college students in the 80s are the pride of the sky, but the opportunities given by society to college students who graduated in the early 80s and those who have only started to study in college now are very different! (To be continued......
