readx; At 8 a.m. on April 6, the Provincial Health Department held an emergency press conference. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Director Wang, who has not slept soundly for nearly a week, truthfully announced to the media the situation of 14 suspected cases and clinically diagnosed cases in Province J.

Immediately afterwards, Secretary Miao of the Provincial Party Committee personally rushed to the Fourth Provincial Hospital where the "***] type pneumonia was treated" to visit the medical staff and understand the actual situation. In an interview with a reporter from the provincial television station, he admitted frankly that Province J is facing a huge challenge. He will personally take command, Governor Ding Haonan coordinates, and instructs the Provincial Health Department to set up a steering group to coordinate all relevant departments and take various measures to fight [***].

The angel in white chooses danger, and the people behind the scenes are silently dedicated! While many people are talking about [***] discoloration, many medical staff have volunteered to go to the high-risk "anti-[***]" front line to take care of [***] patients.

In the face of the epidemic of the century, the angels in white on the front line of the four provincial hospitals to fight [***] bore the brunt. The number of infected healthcare workers is increasing every day, and it has exceeded six in four days, accounting for more than 30% of the overall number of infected people in the province. However, between treating [***] patients and protecting their own health, they all choose the former.

Just as Vice Governor Zhao Weiming said -- "how difficult it is to prosper the country"!

Due to sufficient preparations in advance and a clear public opinion orientation, although all primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the province were suspended, all entertainment venues were ordered to close down, and stations, airports, and docks were also heavily guarded, it did not cause panic among people.

The strong support from all walks of life has always been the greatest encouragement to frontline medical staff. The Provincial Red Cross Society, the J Provincial Branch of the China Charity Federation, the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, the Provincial Women's Federation and other groups launched the "National Anti-Inflammatory Action" to launch street fundraising activities in various places, and all the proceeds were donated to the four provincial hospitals to support front-line medical workers in the fight against [***].

The provincial, municipal, and county governments have also allocated special funds for the free treatment of patients or suspected patients. Blue Pharmaceutical Group, a subsidiary of Blue Sky Holding Group Co., Ltd., donated drugs worth 45 million yuan to the Provincial Health Department...... What is commendable is that Building 3 of Tianda Community was quarantined because of the discovery of a clinically confirmed patient, which can be described as a "epidemic" reputation, but the residents were not discriminated against by people. All walks of life continue to send them warmth, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, fruits and vegetables, snacks, condolences and so on. Some residents even laughed and said, "There are so many that you can't eat enough!" ”

Telecom companies have set up a broadband network for the community to keep them connected. When they opened the window, there were not only paramedics and police standing downstairs, but also cheers and flowers. The railings and small trees in the community are full of blessed yellow ribbons...... Mencius said: "When you go in and out of friendship, watch and help each other, and support each other in sickness, the people will be friendly." "It is with this spirit of unity, solidarity, solidarity and solidarity that not only effectively controlled the [***] epidemic, but also made the society more united and united than ever before.

Even the secretary of the provincial party committee and the provincial governor have personally taken command, and the "fight against [***]" has risen to a political height. Tian Wenjian realized that he could no longer play any role in continuing to stay in this "[***] Leading Group for Prevention and Control", which had swelled dramatically in both size and scale. simply resigned from the temporary position of "senior adviser to the leading group" to Governor Ding through Zhao Weiming.

Considering that Tian Wenjian had been working continuously for nearly a week, Governor Ding Haonan agreed to part of his request. That is, people can go back first, but this temporary position must continue to be held. He also gave a high evaluation of what he did, saying that Tian Wenjian had made the first contribution in the prevention and control campaign of [***] in J Province, and when the fight against [***] was a complete success, the provincial party committee and the provincial political axe would definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

In this regard, Tian Wenjian laughed it off. After all, even without him, the provincial party committee and the provincial government would have made the same decision as now. The difference is that the preparations are more adequate than those of the sister provinces and cities, and the time for taking measures is only three days earlier.

What makes Tian Wenjian laugh is that it seems that no matter what he does, he will overkill. The father-in-law and mother-in-law, who had been reunited with his wife for five days, were not very welcome to return to their hometowns because their hometown had been closed and martial law, so they had to stay in Jiangcheng honestly, washing and cooking for themselves and Gu Xiaojun's family and taking care of their children.

I haven't seen him for many years, and in the face of his father-in-law who has beaten him, Tian Wenjian really doesn't know what to say. The third brother Fu Jianguo went out for an interview again, and Tian Wenjian, who was bored, simply returned to Jiang University with Xiao Na after resting at home for a day to prepare for the next formal lecture.

Passing by the People's Park, there are people exercising everywhere. Tian Wenjian couldn't help but slow down the speed of the bicycle, pointed to the crowd in the square, and said with emotion: "This is called national fitness, if it is like this at all times, it is much better than how many gold medals you have won in the Olympic Games." ”

Xiao Na gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "I see that you are healed and forget the pain, look ahead, and ride your car well." ”

In the United States for four years, the young couple was stunned that they didn't buy a car. At first, I was reluctant to spend that unjust money, but after the conditions were good, I got used to this mode of transportation. No, after Xiao Na came back, she went to buy two Giants, and the Honda that Xiao Ling left behind didn't even touch it, so that Gu Xiaojun would rather go out on a bicycle than drive like before.

is a doctor, Tian Wenjian is still the one who is afraid of his wife. Seeing that his wife was angry, he quickly stuck out his tongue and said with a sneer: "This is not Boston, we are walking on a non-motorized road, such a wide road, who drove blindly and hit me?" ”

Xiao Na sneered, nodded at the delivery tricycle in front of her, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you will hit someone!" ”

The little couple talked and laughed, and the road was short, and before they knew it, they rode to the side gate of the East Campus of Jiangcheng University. The tall gatehouse hung a sign to fight against [***], and four security guards stood solemnly outside the door, prohibiting all idle people from entering. Associate Professor Tian had to take out the documents he had just applied for, and it took a while to enter the university where he was about to teach.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the field, Tian Wenjian held on to the bicycle handlebars and asked thoughtfully: "Wife, I'll go to the library to see, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to the office to prepare for class."

"Okay, then we'll see you in the cafeteria." Tian Wenjian waved his hand, then stepped on his bicycle and pedaled in the direction of the library.

There is a world of difference between American education and China, no matter what course you take, the tutor will make a long list of books, and don't want to get credit without putting in the effort to read the books he asks to read. Because of this, Tian Wenjian's first three years of doctoral studies were spent in the library for most of his part-time job.

The library was deserted, and there weren't many people except for the two dozen or so students who were preparing for graduate school. Looking at the rows of empty tables and chairs, and recalling the Harvard library where there were still people reading at night in the middle of the night, Tian Wenjian shook his head helplessly.

At this time, a tall young girl, who came out of nowhere, asked with a smile on her face, "Professor Tian, what book do you need?" ”

Tian Wenjian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know me?" ”

"My name is Li Xiaoyun, and I am a former colleague of your wife."

Tian Wenjian then remembered that Xiao Na had indeed worked here for a long time before she went abroad, and hurriedly stretched out her right hand, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I'm very happy to see you, and I won't have to trouble you in the future." ”

Seeing a few students turning their heads to look this way, Li Xiaoyun immediately lowered his voice, and while beckoning Tian Wenjian to sit down, he shook his head and smiled: "Professor Tian, just say this." You are the youngest professor at our Jiang University, and it is my job to serve you. Besides, Cortana is still my good sister, so don't talk to each other as a family. ”

This is a family? Tian Wenjian was made laughed at by the beauty in front of him, and he really didn't know how to answer this conversation.

“…… People, you have to be self-motivated, Cortana is better than me in this regard, and it's only been the past few years? The gap widened all of a sudden, and I was still cleaning here, but she became a serious lecturer......"

Maybe the work in the library is too boring, maybe there is no common language with the students, Li Xiaoyun took out a paper cup and gave Tian Wenjian a cup of water from the water dispenser, and chattered endlessly. Tian Wenjian was not interested in talking about the shortcomings of these parents, but he couldn't refute the face of others, so he had to take the paper cup and start haha.

To his surprise, Li Xiaoyun took out a stack of English applications from his desk, with an embarrassed expression, and whispered: "Even if you don't come, I'm going to find a time to visit you and Cortana, and ask you two to give me some guidance." If I can, I'd also like to ask you to write a letter of recommendation for me. ”

The feeling is that I am tired of Jiangda and want to study abroad!

Tian Wenjian then understood, looked through the thick stack of applications, and realized that she had indeed put in a lot of effort. Judging from the more than 20 universities she applied to, she undoubtedly studied abroad for the sake of studying abroad, to put it mildly, she just wanted to go out, as for what university and what major was secondary.

Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, gently closed the application, and said with a wry smile: "Li ...... Plum...... Li, Miss Li, it's okay to give some advice, after all, as you just said, we are from here. But what about a letter of recommendation...... I don't have the qualifications to write it now, and even if I did, it wouldn't be convincing. ”

"Professor Tian, you still treat me as an outsider."

What made him even more unbelievable was that Li Xiaoyun still had the potential to engage in secret work, looked at his eyes with a smile, and whispered: "As far as I know, when you were studying at Harvard, you were also responsible for the screening of recommendation letters from Chinese students for a period of time. It's like a notary office in China, where what you say is true is true, and what you say is false is false. ”

As she said, Tian Wenjian did work for a period of time to screen recommendation letters. That was also a stopgap measure that Harvard had to do as a last resort, who let those letters of recommendation have too much moisture, making it difficult for Harvard professors to trust their Chinese counterparts as much as before.

Thinking of this, Tian Wenjian sighed, shook his head again and again, and said, "Miss Li, you also think too highly of me." Helping the admissions committee screen for letters of recommendation is just one of the ways I can work and study. Besides, my opinion is for informational purposes only and does not have an authoritative surname. What's more, there is no Harvard in the university you applied to, so I think it's better to ask for another high-mindedness. ”

"But the more letters of recommendation, the better, especially from a Harvard Ph.D. like you."

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Tian Wenjian really didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a while, he said sincerely: "Miss Li, it's not that I don't help, but I really can't help." Think about it...... I'm a recent graduate, I have no teaching experience, and I haven't made any achievements in academics, so even if I write it, no one will believe it. ”

Speaking of which, Li Xiaoyun is not too difficult. After all, going abroad is still far away, and if you look up and don't see you down, it's not good to divide the relationship, so you let go of the anxious Tian Wenjian.

There are a lot of philosophical books in the library, but judging from the thick dust on them, there are very few students who borrow them. Looking at the price of dozens of yuan, or even a few yuan, on the back cover, Tian Wenjian couldn't help but sigh that domestic books are really cheap. You must know that in the four years of studying in the United States, buying books was the biggest expense for him and Cortana in addition to living expenses.

The textbooks are too old, too old, without any new ideas, and boring throughout, even the teachers don't want to read them, let alone the students!

Tian Wenjian dusted off the books, found a seat by the sunny window, took out Professor Wen's lecture notes from his bag, and looked at them while pondering how to give students a boring philosophy class.

I was so engrossed that I even forgot to eat lunch, and seeing the students behind him leaving the library one after another, Tian Wenjian remembered the agreement with Xiao Na. Just as I was getting up to pack my luggage, my mobile phone rang suddenly, and when I looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Cortana calling.

“…… Taotao had a fever, which frightened my brother, and the third brother and sister-in-law were not at home, so I had to rush back to take him to the hospital. ”

There was a loud noise on the phone, and it was clear that Cortana was already on her way home. After staying in the "[***] Prevention and Control Leading Group" for so long, Tian Wenjian didn't think that Taotao, who had been at home and had no contact with outsiders, would be infected these days, but he still whispered: "You wait, I'll be there soon." ”

"I'll just go back alone, and nothing should happen."

Tian Wenjian, who was about to talk to Professor Wen after eating, nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Okay, call me if you have something." In addition, don't tell the third brother and sister-in-law about this first, so as to save them from worrying. ”

"I know."

Putting down the phone, Tian Wenjian hurried to the cafeteria. During this period, the small restaurants around the school were closed, and the business of the cafeteria was extremely prosperous. Seeing that the queue was long, Tian Wenjian simply came to the gate and paid for an IC card for dining.

Maybe it's because the noodle students, maybe it's because the teachers rarely come here to eat, and the students don't realize that Tian Wenjian, who is in line, is an associate professor who is like a fake. There will be no respectful teacher, let him go to the window to eat first. Of course, Tian Wenjian didn't want to engage in this specialization.

After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, it was finally his turn. The meals are affordable, but the taste is not complimentary. In fact, when he first entered Harvard, it was even worse than this, in order to save living expenses, he and Cortana took potatoes made in the microwave oven to school for several months, and when it was time to eat, they would take out the potatoes and eat them with Coke and the sauce provided free of charge in the cafeteria. In contrast, a serving of fish-flavored shredded pork and a serving of scrambled eggs are already too extravagant to be extravagant.

"Senior brother, why are you eating here too?"

While he was eating with relish, a young man with glasses and pimples on his face came over with a lunch box. Professor Wenbo's graduate student Liu Yizhou is his fellow brother, Tian Wenjian was stunned, quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, pointed to the opposite seat, and motioned for him to sit down, while laughing: "There are many people here, lively." ”

Liu Yizhou sat down, pointed in the direction of the administrative building, and said with a smile: "The quality of the food in the small canteen is much better than this." Senior brother, if you don't eat it, you can't waste it. I feel that the dining atmosphere here is good, so I can call over and eat. ”

Tian Wenjian was happy, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You kid, you know how to eat." ”

"The people take food as their heaven, and philosophers also have to eat."

He was so poor, which reminded Tian Wenjian of himself four years ago, so he held his chin and asked with interest: "Yizhou, you can't eat the food here for long, what are your plans next?" ”

Liu Yizhou looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he said with a wry smile: "The unit has contacted one, which is a well-known private state-owned enterprise. Treatment...... It's so-so, too, but as far as I've observed, a lot has a lot to do with the boss's interest in philosophy. It seems that all successful people want to summarize their successful experience from the philosophical level after success, so they look for graduate students like us to decorate the façade. ”

Philosophy seems mysterious to outsiders, and it seems to be useless. In today's environment, the path out of doctoral studies will be relatively narrow, and most people will work after graduating with a master's degree, and it is understandable for Liu Yizhou to make such a decision, but Tian Wenjian still said meaningfully:

"With a Ph.D. on one side and a high annual salary on the other, it seems easy to make a decision without a lot of determination. However, a Doctor of Philosophy is not necessarily worth an annual salary of 100,000. Yizhou, in my opinion...... That's the level of income you can reach in three to five years. After all, Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Philosophy are two completely different concepts, just like the difference between Moutai and Erguotou. Of course, not all PhDs can be Moutai, but I have seen too many masters like Erguotou. ”

"Senior brother, I understand what you mean, in fact, the teacher also wants me to continue reading."

Liu Yizhou lowered his head and said helplessly: "To tell you the truth, I really like this industry, and I think the fun and sense of achievement that this industry gives me cannot be measured by money." But the situation is pressing, if I don't go out to work again, my parents really won't be able to survive. ”

It stands to reason that there is still a little income for a tutor as a teaching assistant. Unfortunately, Professor Wen is not able to apply for well-funded research projects like professors from other disciplines. His son, naturally, is living a tight life.

It is said that there are 360 lines, and the line is the champion, as long as you do it well, do it well, do the best, and learn philosophy can also succeed. But after so many years of reform and opening up, the results are somewhat deformed. To put it simply, these philosophical scholars are nothing more than advocates of vested interests, relying entirely on the leftovers of the elite class.

Throughout the ages, there have been so many philosophers, and the one Tian Wenjian admires the most besides Socrates is Marx. Not to be convinced of his profound thoughts, but to admire his approach to philosophy. In order to put his philosophy into practice, he wandered from place to place, was repeatedly banished, and eventually ended his life in poverty.

Although, according to his ingenuity, it is simply too easy to make money. But how many scholars who keep saying that they study Marx's philosophy and adhere to Marxism can do it?

Thinking of this, Tian Wenjian sighed secretly and said with a forced smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't say so much." But you have to coax the teacher well, don't make him angry. ”

"I know, I know what to do."
