Back at home, Lin Yiming was going around the house, and when he saw Gewen, he said excitedly: "Does Gewen know which master is giving a lecture at Fudan University tonight?" ”

"Who?"

"Hua Luogeng! There is his lecture in the auditorium of Fudan University Library tonight! Lin Yiming's excited voice came.

Hua Luogeng! The information of Hua Luogeng came to his mind: Hua Luogeng, a world-famous mathematician, is the founder and pioneer of China's analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical groups, self-safety function theory and other research. In the world, the mathematical scientific research achievements named after Fahrenheit include "Fahrenheit's theorem", "Huaiyi-Hua's inequality", "Fahrenheit's inequality", "Prouder-Gadanghua's theorem", "Fahrenheit operator", "Hua-Wang method", and so on. He has made remarkable contributions to the exhibition of Chinese mathematics. The famous American mathematician Bateman wrote: "Hua Luogeng is the Einstein of China, enough to become an academician of all famous academies in the world." He is listed as one of the 88 great men of mathematics in the world today in the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology.

"Mr. Hua is coming to Fudan to give a speech? Reliable messaging? There was a tremor in Govyn's voice. In his previous life, he had read "The Biography of Hua Luogeng", and he admired this mathematician a lot, and at this moment he heard Lin Yiming say that Mr. Hua Lao came to Fudan tonight, and his mood could be imagined.

"Of course it's reliable, it was Professor Hang Jianhang who said it himself, you must know that Mr. Hua Luogeng is his leader. Look, there will be a promotional poster in the afternoon. Lin Yiming said with an oath.

"Professor Hang is a subordinate of Mr. Hua? What's going on? Gewen couldn't guess why the mathematician Hua Luogeng could lead the critic's Hang Jian.

"You don't know this, Mr. Hua Luogeng is the chairman of the alliance, and Professor Hang is the leader of the Shanghai branch." Lin Yiming gossiped.

NLD? Oh, it's the China Democratic League. Govin knew about this political party, but he didn't expect that Mr. Hua Luogeng would be a member of the Democratic League and vice chairman. At the moment, he said: "Then we will go at night." I am very interested in the overall planning method and the optimization method proposed by Mr. Hua. ”

All afternoon, the two of them waited eagerly for the night to fall.

At six o'clock in the evening, it was the time for dinner, and Ge Wen and Lin Yiming hurried to the auditorium, for fear that they would be late and their seats would be occupied.

At this time, although the lecture had not yet begun, the auditorium was already full of people, and it seemed that everyone was full of interest in Mr. Hua's lecture.

Ge Wen and Lin Yiming found two adjacent empty seats and made them, and then looked around with interest, all of them were expectant and whispered to each other with the people around them discussing Mr. Hua's various Xiao stories.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening, a group of people walked in from the auditorium, and there was a commotion, and the crowd was talking and laughing with Mr. Su Buqing, the president of Fudan University, and the protagonist of the formal speech, Hua Luogeng. I saw Mr. Hua, who was about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a tunic suit, meticulous, and full of white hair, but the god was very strong.

As soon as he saw Mr. Hua Luogeng, there was sparse applause in the auditorium, and when Mr. Hua approached the rostrum, the applause had already poured into him. When the applause rang out, Mr. Hua was stunned at first, and then stopped talking to the people next to him, smiling and waving to the applauding crowd.

The group sat down on the seats on the side of the rostrum, and then in the silence, Mr. Su Buqing, the president of Fudan University, came to the front of the podium, and before he could speak, there was another round of applause in the auditorium.

Principal Su smiled slightly, raised his hands, and suddenly there was silence in the auditorium. Then he was full of enthusiasm, looked at the microphone on the podium, and said in a subdued tone: "Today we are fortunate to invite Mr. Hua Luogeng, a famous mathematician in China, to come to our school to give a report, everyone is welcome. ”

Suddenly, the auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people, applauded, Mr. Hua Luogeng stood up, waved to the audience with a kind smile, and walked up to President Su.

"The same mathematician, why is Mr. Hua's applause more enthusiastic than mine?" Principal Su, who was already in his old age, asked mischievously while shaking hands with Mr. Hua. His words immediately made everyone in the audience laugh, and their old headmaster was still so funny and witty.

Mr. Hua Luogeng smiled and replied seriously: "That's because foreign monks can recite scriptures." ”

As soon as the words came out, I saw the two old men joking with each other, comparing themselves with monks, and the audience laughed again. It's just that only a few people are thoughtful: At this time, the country has already implemented the policy of reform and opening up, calling for learning from foreign advanced experience and "importing" advanced technology.

Gewen also heard the meaning of Mr. Hua Luogeng's words, and while secretly admiring it in his heart, he saw that President Su had returned to the seat on the side of the rostrum at this time, leaving only Mr. Hua Luogeng standing in front of the podium with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect so many students and teachers to come to listen to my speech tonight, and I was really flattered."

Mr. Hua continued to say: "In the past few months, I have been doing the work of promoting the overall planning method and the optimization method in Suzhou, and I came to Shanghai today because I have something to do, but I was caught by your principal and said that I will give you a speech, which is simply Huang Shiren paying back the money in bī Yang Bailao." The old gentleman's scared expression made everyone in the audience laugh.

"In this case, I have to reluctantly make it difficult and talk to everyone, after all, I don't have Xi'er to pay off my debts." After Mr. Hua finished joking, he said: "I think there will be many students from the Department of Mathematics in the audience, but I think there should be no fewer students from other majors." So I'm not going to talk about some professional issues today, let's talk about something light, as for whether you have gained anything after listening, that's your own business, for me, I never think highly of myself, because the example of falling asleep while sitting down listening to the lecture has been reminding me not to be self-righteous as a human being. ”

Gowen's face was a little chou, he felt that mathematicians, including scientists, were strict people, but he didn't expect Mr. Hua to be so funny and witty, which really broke his inherent impression of mathematicians.

"Everyone knows that I am engaged in mathematics, even if there are students who don't know, you should know this from Principal Su's mouth just now......

"When I was xiao, there was a newspaper that often published some number xiao riddles, and if you can solve one, you can get a few pennies reward. That's because I'm so happy with the game, I often ask adults or just look up books everywhere, just to get those pennies, and many times I actually get those coins. But one day, in that newspaper, I saw the news that a Japanese man had won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and I asked myself: Hua Luogeng, what are you doing? What a Japanese can do, why can't we Chinese? Since then, I have aspired to be a mathematician, and now I have finally achieved something. ”

Mr. Hua paused, "So, sometimes we really need to ask ourselves: What am I doing?" Am I doing what I'm supposed to do? Am I stray from my ideals? ……”

"Once you have a goal, you have to work hard. Some of my classmates may think that I have some genius in mathematics, but in fact, there is no trace of such genius in me. When I was in xiao, I didn't get a graduation certificate because of my bad grades, and I could only get a certificate of study. When I was in the first year of junior high school, I also passed the math exam after a make-up exam. However, in the second year of junior high school, I realized that since my qualifications were poor, I should spend more time studying. When others only learn one xiao, I will learn two xiao, so that my math score will continue to improve. Until now, I have also implemented this principle: when others want to read a thing, I will be three and a half hours, and after a long period of labor accumulation, I can see how much the results can be seen. And after mastering the basic skills, you can often read an article in an hour that people can't understand in ten days and a half months. Therefore, the redoubling of efforts in the previous period has achieved unexpected results in the later period. Yes, cleverness lies in learning, and genius due to accumulation. ”

……

Mr. Hua Luogeng's speech revolved around the aspirations and realities of young people, and he spoke very vividly, and sometimes used his own examples to encourage everyone, which caused laughter and applause in the auditorium from time to time.

After the speech of Xiao Shi, Mr. Hua took another 2O minutes to carefully answer all kinds of questions raised by everyone in the audience, and then left accompanied by President Su.

The people in the auditorium who had an endless aftertaste talked loudly for a long time.
