Chapter 118: You're Sick
The young man's face turned red, as if he had been insulted, and a few green tendons on his neck protruded, and he explained with a serious face: "It's not what you think! What I value is your personal knowledge and personality charm, not the so-called future. Moreover, I am a Wanwan person, and your reputation in Wanwan may not be as good as Liu Lao. ”
The old Liu he said was naturally Liu Gaizhi.
Hearing this, everyone in the office burst out laughing.
Especially Liu Gaizhi, who smiled more comfortably than anyone else.
Wang Yong touched his nose in embarrassment, and couldn't help but have an impulse in his heart, immediately, immediately, immediately, to accept this guy who couldn't speak as a student, and then give him a lot of manual work of sweeping, watering, sprinkling, and shoveling soil, until he collapsed.
"Hehe, what an honest guy. Still, I don't think I should take you as an apprentice. Wang Yong said deliberately.
The young man's eyes, which had been flashing with expectation, immediately dimmed.
He slowly lowered his head and muttered, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." Excuse me, Mr. Wang, goodbye......"
As he spoke, his footsteps moved, and he was about to leave.
It's just that at the moment when he was about to step out of the threshold, he suddenly turned around and said in an almost desperate tone: "But, I really like traditional culture." I came to the museum to do chores, not because I couldn't find a job, on the contrary, when I graduated, I received many invitations from large companies. It's just that I thought about it for a long time and finally turned down those invitations. Because I know what I want, I like the feeling of being immersed in the words of the ancients, I like the feeling of translating the ideas of the ancients into modern language and passing them on to modern people, I like the feeling of touching the pages with my fingertips, and the strange and interesting and magnificent characters and stories jumping out of my mind. I feel like that's my world, that's where I belong. Even, I'm a little tired of the real world...... I felt that if I left those books, I would die. ”
Listening to this young man's self-report, the scholars in the office were a little moved.
Young people who like traditional culture to such an extent are rare.
If it weren't for Wang Yong's face, several scholars would have wanted to accept this young man as a student.
Especially Liu Gaizhi, looking at this young man is like a fox seeing a little rooster.
He is lacking a student who is willing to do his studies in a down-to-earth manner, or rather, not only him, but all the scholars present are lacking.
The current academic circle is extremely heavily impregnated by interests. There are too few research-oriented talents who can really calm down and ignore what is going on outside the window.
Whoever finds one is unwilling to let it go.
At this moment, Wang Yong didn't seem to be moved, and looked at the young man indifferently, as if he was looking at an artifact.
The young man looked at Wang Yong's eyes, the last trace of expectation finally disappeared, turned around in disappointment, and staggered a little towards the door.
It's just that in the next second, Wang Yong suddenly said leisurely: "You are sick." ”
Three words made the young man stagnate and almost fall to the ground.
There was a faint horror in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Wang Yong incredulously.
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
"Yes. Wang Yong said firmly.
"No ......," the young man repeated again, his expression frightened.
The other scholars in the office were a little unbearable.
"Wang Yong! If you don't want to accept this child, forget it, why humiliate others? Young man, what's your name? He doesn't want to accept you, but I, Liu Gaizhi, am willing!" Liu Gaizhi said with some anger.
Gu Xinde also shook his head and persuaded: "Yes, Wang Yong, don't embarrass others." Since Lao Liu is willing to accept it, let Lao Liu accept it. ”
Who knows, Wang Yong seemed to be disobedient, and said: "Whoever accepts him, that's a matter of waiting." Now I'm talking about it, he's sick!"
Wang Yong's attitude instantly aroused Liu Gaizhi's anger.
"Wang Yong! Although you are more famous than him, you are not qualified to humiliate a person who wants to learn from you! I don't think he is sick, but you are sick!" Liu Gaizhi took three steps and made two steps, walked in front of Wang Yong, and said.
Originally, Liu Gaizhi had a good impression of Wang Yong, but now, Liu Gaizhi's thoughts have changed.
He felt that it was necessary for him to re-examine Wang Yong.
Is such a narrow-minded person really suitable to be an academic master?
Facing Liu Gaizhi's questioning, Wang Yong didn't have any explanation, just stared at the young man outside the door with a calm face.
The young man outside the door seemed to be at a loss for the first time, his whole face was bloodshot, and he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Finally, as if he had collapsed, the young man grabbed his hair with both hands, squatted on the ground, and said bitterly: "I'm not sick, I'm not sick...... Why do you all say I'm sick?"
Seeing the young man's behavior, everyone was stunned. Even Liu Gaizhi, who was angry at Wang Yong, realized something.
Wang Yong is not wrong, this young man may really be sick.
Wang Yong gently stepped forward, walked to the young man's side, patted the young man's back lightly with one hand, and said, "Escaping can't solve the problem." You say you don't like work in the outside world, you just like to be immersed in books. In fact, it's not that you really like to study hard, it's just that you're afraid of interacting with the outside world, and you say that you feel that you will die if you leave books, because you are afraid of the outside world, so that you regard the characters and the world in books as your inner world. You feel like you have lost the whole world without books.
This kind of psychology of yours is medically called DSM-5, which is what we call autism. ”
"Autism?" Liu Gaizhi and the others all looked surprised.
Looking at the behavior shown by young people, it really seems that it is a symptom of autism.
From the beginning, except for eye contact with Wang Yong, he basically had no eye contact with others, and his expression was lacking, just like a robot. The range of interests is narrow, and he only likes to read books and does not like anything else. Rigid behavior patterns, nervous and panicked when communicating with others, especially when Wang Yong explained the symptoms, he expressed obvious unhappiness and anxiety, and was at a loss until the whole person collapsed.
This is a typical symptom of autism.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yong's eyes were so sharp, and he could see at a glance that this young man was sick.
What is ridiculous is that Liu Gaizhi and others mistakenly thought that Wang Yong was humiliating this young man.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I was too impulsive. Liu Gaizhi immediately apologized to Wang Yong.
Wang Yong waved his hand and signaled Liu Gaizhi not to take it to heart.
His gaze was still fixed on the young man, and he continued, "You just said 'you', and I guess your family must have mentioned this to you. But you always think that you are not sick, so you form a strong antagonism with your family. So much so that after graduation, you would rather go to the museum to work as a temporary worker than go home or go to work in the company. ”
"Don't say it...... Don't say it......" The young man sobbed softly, like a child standing in the rain on a rainy day. "You're right, I'm sick! Everyone looks down on me, and I don't dare to communicate with them. I was like a piece of waste, I only passed every exam, and I even graduated by retaking the exam twice to get my degree certificate. Although no one laughed at me, I could see the contempt in their eyes. A good-for-nothing person like me should have been buried in the soil like garbage, quietly disappearing into the heavens and the earth. But I was not reconciled...... Because, I really like to read!"
The young man's words pierced the hearts of everyone present like a thorn.
Everyone's expressions were gloomy and silent.
Only Wang Yong still maintained a calm expression and said slowly: "Have you seen a movie?" It tells the story of a girl named Grandin, who has suffered from autism since she was a child, but eventually relies on her personal efforts to successfully overcome herself and achieve great success. The prototype of this movie is an American named Tempo Grandin. Today, Timble Grandin holds a master's degree in animal husbandry science from Arizona State University and a doctorate in animal husbandry science from the University of Illinois. She is also one of the few experts in the design and construction of livestock handling equipment today, and has published hundreds of academic papers and regularly travels around the world. If you've ever seen her, you'll doubt your own eyes, how can such a person be autistic?"
"Also, quietly tell you a terrible truth. Most of the celebrities in history have suffered from varying degrees of autism. Like Einstein, like Newton, like Franklin, like Leonardo da Vinci, like Van Gogh, like Socrates, ......"
With Wang Yong's words, one celebrity name after another flowed out, each of them was like thunder, and every one of them was unbelievable.
The young man gradually stopped sobbing and looked at Wang Yong with a look of disbelief, as if asking: Is what you said true? How can so many celebrities suffer from autism?
In fact, Wang Yong did not lie. It is true that these celebrities all suffer from autism, and science, like art, is lonely. Many amazing ideas and discoveries are often sparked in their own communication with themselves.
Among children with autism, there is often a surprising genius hidden.
Seeing that the persuasion had taken effect, Wang Yong smiled slightly: "So, what do you have to be inferior? You should be proud! You have so many celebrity patients! Together, your group of patients is enough to change the whole world and push the process of the whole world to another track." This is more than the supernatural people in the movie who affect the order of time and space! You are a member of such a group, what are you afraid of? It should be the world that you should be afraid of! Because if you are not happy, you can change it!"
The young man looked at Wang Yong dumbfounded, as if he was stunned by Wang Yong.
He never imagined that there could be such a tricky angle of analysis.
For a moment, the young man seemed to feel really proud.
Yes, there are so many great people and patients, what is he afraid of? Together, these patients are a force that makes the whole world tremble!
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'm not afraid!" the young man said to Wang Yong gratefully.
Wang Yong patted the young man on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "That's good." Dasheng tell me your name, young man!"
The young man's eyes flashed with confidence, and he called out his name in the loudest volume he had ever had.
"Li Hongwei!"
Wang Yong smiled slightly and stood up: "Okay, Li Hongwei." You're my student from today, and now, start your first task. Observe, learn, and comprehend the knowledge of these teachers!
“……”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and their expressions were glazed.
