Huaqing University's auditorium, which can accommodate more than 4,000 people, was packed.

More than 4,000 visitors included university teachers, students, industry insiders, young entrepreneurs and people from all over the country who paid attention to the "summit" and hoped to draw nutrients, inspiration and strengthen their entrepreneurial confidence from the "exchange meeting".

As a result, throughout the morning, the five scholars who spoke spoke English throughout.

Note......

The five scholars who spoke were not of Chinese origin, but all Chinese who were born and raised in China.

Note......

The venue of the "2008 International Internet New Concept Summit University Exchange Conference" is held in Huaqing University.

Note......

Of the more than 4,000 people seated in the audience, no more than 20 were native English speakers.

Note......

The theme of this "exchange meeting" is "Internet", which is not a topic that cannot be expressed in Chinese, because except for a few new terms that need to be borrowed directly from English, contemporary Chinese is enough to express most scientific concepts and scientific research content.

Bian Xuedao didn't understand it, why did he have to use English?

The speakers were native Chinese, and the 4,000-odd audience members in the venue were also native speakers, so I couldn't think of any reason why I had to speak in English.

The unnecessary use of English made the audience of more than 4,000 people, including some college students from other places, unable to understand what they were saying.

An academic conference that had a rare opportunity to popularize cutting-edge concepts to domestic students turned into an English speaking show of "chickens and ducks". The threshold of English vividly blocks students who are full of enthusiasm and expectation from the exchange of ideas.

Therefore, the scene is definitely not only learning the Tao by scolding the mother in his heart.

However, because it was an "exchange meeting", a branch of the "international summit", everyone did not withdraw from the meeting in consideration of etiquette and national image.

As for Bian Xuedao, he has the confidence and the opportunity to go crazy.

At the end of the fifth speaker's speech, the moderator took the stage to announce that the next step would be the "exchange and comment" session.

Originally, although he scolded his mother in his heart, he was not ready to speak. On this kind of occasion, if he goes too far, he will not only offend people, but also make the outside world think that he has no bearing and no city.

Unfortunately, three of the five speakers wanted to comment on their presentations.

These scholars "value" Bian Xuedao so much, it is really that today's newspapers praise Bian Xuedao to the extreme.

Several major newspapers in Yanjing City, whose influence radiates throughout the country, unanimously reported in a high-profile manner the mention of "Internet +" by Bian Xuedao, saying that "Internet +" is the best way to find "new economic growth points" under the economic crisis, saying that "Internet +" is a new engine for China's economic transformation and upgrading, and saying that Bian Xuedao is the most strategic vision and theoretical attainment among contemporary young entrepreneurs.

All in all, Bian Xuedao is recognized as a big man in the IT field in the industry and the media, with a high status in the rivers and lakes, and his words have weight.

As a result, the first round of comments was handed over to Bian Xuedao, who was very unhappy.

Endure not taking the initiative to say that it is already the limit of learning the Tao, and he can't do it if he comments on the microphone. Besides, with the current status of Bian Xuedao, he doesn't care at all if he says a few words from his heart and offends a few so-called scholars who use English as a show off capital.

It can be said that it is insincere, but these few people are not qualified enough to make today's Bian Xuedao have different hearts.

Thereupon......

Facing the microphone, Bian Xuedao said something that silenced the audience-

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what they said, so I can't comment. ”

As soon as these words came out, the venue filled with more than 4,000 people seemed to be swept by an invisible shock wave, and all the noise disappeared, and it was so quiet that it could be heard.

Countless people have the same thought in their hearts:

"Holy, so faceless?"

"Damn! Bian Xuedao is too upright!"

"Nima, can this exchange meeting go on?"

"Happy! Finally someone is dissatisfied with those expressions of superiority in English......"

The "battle-hardened" host on the stage short-circuited, and several plans for playing the round flashed in his mind, but none of them were suitable.

In the silence of the audience, Bian Xuedao stood up, turned back with the microphone in his hand and asked the audience behind him: "I will conduct a small survey on the spot, please raise your hand if you understand all 5 speeches." ”

After nearly 30 seconds of waiting, only 16 people raised their hands.

How so?

Huaqing University, a top university in China, has undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students on the spot, and there are many people who are good at English.

However, only 16 people raised their hands when they asked questions, one of the reasons was that the oral pronunciation of some words of the previous 5 speakers was not standard, which increased the difficulty of understanding the "listening test", and no more than 100 people really understood and fully understood all the 5 speeches.

The second reason is that everyone understands that it is not interesting to raise your hand to show off your English listening at this time, and it will only make the people around you who don't understand feel that they are pretending to be B.

After counting the number of people who understood the speech and raised their hands, Bian Xuedao asked again: "Those who don't understand, please raise your hand." ”

Now it's a spectacular scene......

The audience of more than 4,000 people was mostly students.

What are the characteristics of students? Straightforward, serious, individual, not afraid of big things, raise your hand when it's time to raise your hand!

In the minute after Bian Xuedao raised his question, there were people raising their hands one after another, and at the beginning there were many people with a wait-and-see mentality, but as more and more people raised their hands, everyone's accumulated "resentment" began to erupt, and they raised their hands to slap the faces of 5 speakers who only cared about showing off their English and ignored the feelings of the audience.

Thereupon......

100 people - 500 people - 1000 people - 2000 people - 2500 people - 3000 people!

Three-quarters of the people in the room raised their hands.

Realizing that a rare emergency had occurred, the reporters in the venue quickly pressed the shutter of the camera in their hands to capture the picture of more than 3,000 people raising their hands at the scene.

Looking at the scene of thousands of people raising their hands behind him, Bian Xuedao said into the microphone: "In "The Siege", there is a Mr. Zhang who claims to be used to interacting with foreigners, and always likes to clip some meaningless English words in Chinese, and he has no novelty that is difficult to reach in Chinese, and needs to borrow English. Therefore, the English words embedded in his words are not as good as the gold teeth embedded in his mouth, because the gold teeth are not only decorative, but also usable, but only like the meat crumbs between the teeth, indicating that the food is well eaten, and it is useless at all. ”

After saying this, Bian Xuedao put down the microphone, sat back in the chair, and said no more.

As a public figure, what he has done today is already quite "out of line", there is no need to say more, quoting Qian Zhongshu's words is enough to show his attitude.

The whole audience knew who Bian Xuedao was referring to.

The five people who had just spoken sat on the chairs, their faces were red and white for a while, and they did not stay or leave, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Two of them had the heart to refute, but even if they dared to learn the Tao head-on, more than 3,000 people raised their hands to express their attitude, and they lost any confidence in refutation.

At the end of the "exchange meeting", more than 4,000 people walked out of the venue, and the national discussion began, until it became a "battle to defend the Chinese language".
