In today's academic world, the boundaries between theorists and practitioners are still relatively clear. Theorists prefer to immerse themselves in their own world, preaching some very subjective personal theories.

Although practitioners are very recognizant of some theories, there is rarely a suitable way to apply them. Many practitioners tend to interpret these theories in their own way, but pay little attention to the connection between theory and practice.

In fact, there has not been much change in later generations, not to mention the aspect of cultural studies, and even the science and engineering aspects, both of which are relatively finely divided.

For example, Stephen Hawking, as most people know, is a pure theorist whose life has put forward many paradoxes of self-contradiction, which cannot be proven at all.

So he just has a great reputation, but he doesn't get the respect he deserves. Cambridge, where he taught, wanted to tear down the steps of his office and pour a ramp with concrete to make it easier for his wheelchair to get in and out, but Cambridge refused without hesitation.

If he was truly respected, would Cambridge treat him like this, would he dare to do this to him?

Zhou Nan's speech began with the European revolution, and Lao Ma and Lao En have to be mentioned. In later generations, Lao Ma's status was much higher than Lao En, but Lao Ma's life was poor and had to rely on the relief of his friends, if it weren't for Lao En, he would have starved to death.

As a pure theorist, although he was famous in later generations, when he was alive, he was a little sad.

On the contrary, Lao En, as a nobleman, dares to change his life. But he did not blindly revolutionize, but combined theory with practice, and only reformed social inequality, rather than blindly proposing a goal that could never be achieved.

So in the end, his path is actually different from that of the old horse. Therefore, when he was alive, he was highly respected, and no matter which faction he was, he was highly respected.

The revolutions of modern times are full of inevitability and contingency. Inevitability is the general trend of history, but contingency is that every revolution surprises the initiator and deviates from the direction originally envisaged.

From the French Revolution to the establishment of the Soviet Union and the socialization of Germany, these facts all confirm the disconnect between theory and practice.

Zhou Nan vividly and interestingly expounded the disconnection between theory and practice with historical examples, and pointed out to the students the importance of integrating theory with practice.

In particular, his speech was not didactic, but was explained in an interesting way with vivid examples, which aroused the enthusiasm of the students.

In addition to this macro main line of speech, Zhou Nan added the subline of receiving two different educations and experiencing two different lifestyles.

He used his own personal experience to look at the changes and development of society from a micro perspective, and added a macro main line to form a complete set of speech structure.

During the two-hour speech, the audience burst into applause no less than 50 times. The students' spirit was very focused, which showed that Zhou Nan's speech was very successful.

Because of the success of the speech, Zhou Nan also aroused great enthusiasm among the students in the Q&A session afterwards. The small notes collected were thick in a stack.

Thankfully, many of the questions were repetitive, and the student representatives were only able to ask representative questions.

Only a few people were interested in Zhou Nan's personal life, and most of the Q&A was focused on academics. For example, the influence of Chinese culture on the world, the difference between the agrarian society and the herdsman's social system, the respective advancement and superiority of the civil code and the law of the sea, and so on.

Zhou Nan wondered if many students had taken out all the difficult points of their papers to assess themselves, but these questions could not but be answered.

Not only can you not answer, but you must also answer beautifully, only in this way will these students really recognize Zhou Nan's strength. And from them, Zhou Nan's influence can really be spread.

The media is always just an auxiliary, and only with the recognition of the academic community can Zhou Nan truly gain a foothold in the cultural circle. So Zhou Nan didn't get bored and tried his best to answer every question of the students perfectly.

Of course, the importance of the media is also clear to Zhou Nan better than anyone.

After arranging Audrey's performance, Etinny, who came from Lucerne, was mainly responsible for maintaining relations with the media.

Stampfrey, dean of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bern, waited until the student delegates announced the end of today's speech, and before he could finish, he rushed to the stage. "Mr. Zhou gave a lively and interesting history lesson to all of us today, I wonder if you want to continue this class?"

Zhou Nan couldn't help but pause, a little unintelligible about the meaning of his words, but when he saw the students in the audience shouting to cater to him, his heart jumped excitedly.

Sure enough, seeing the enthusiasm of the students in the audience, Stepffri turned to Zhou Nan, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Zhou, I know that in order to promote your work, and you will have more creations in the future, you may not have time, but I still sincerely invite you to be an honorary professor at the Faculty of Humanities of our University of Bern." It is enough to give students a few large classes each semester. ”

Zhou Nan's heart was full of excitement, and he also knew that this was another supportive action of the Liberal Democratic Party. Because Staplefrey, who is also a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, must have party support behind this matter.

Perhaps, they are just waiting for themselves to successfully complete a speech, and then see the effect, before they make this decision. Today's speech was a success, and Stepffrey was able to invite himself as a matter of course.

Nowadays, universities are still relatively sacred, and visiting professors are not something that anyone can fill indiscriminately. Although Zhou Nan has written a masterpiece, after all, the time it has been published for a short time, and the real influence has not yet fully exploded.

And becoming a visiting professor at the University of Bern will have countless benefits for Zhou Nan's fame promotion. At the very least, the average industry bull will not criticize himself without a bottom line because of this. Because to criticize yourself is to criticize the University of Bern, and to attack a large group of professors at the University of Bern.

This is tantamount to adding another talisman to him, even if someone does not agree with his theory and the content of his book, they will only limit the contradiction to academic discussion.

Therefore, Zhou Nan agreed without hesitation in front of all the boiling classmates.

In the audience, Stolko and Etinny couldn't stop laughing, the bigger Zhou Nan's fame, the bigger the face of these people!

Entler Buch applauded desperately, and both hands were red and did not stop, looking even more excited than Zhou Nan.

Noord was also very pleased, although he paid a little price for this, but it was also Jonas's own ability that made Stepfrey directly agree.

With this professor's identity, for Jonas, there will be a group of allies who will have the upper hand in propaganda and public opinion in the academic world in the future, which will be of great benefit to Jonas's future development.

When he was about to step down, Zhou Nan was stopped by the students. They were heard chanting "Xiao ...... in unison Xiao ......" Zhou Nan suddenly remembered that he almost forgot his performance after the speech because he was excited.

The old man of Entlebuhe handed his bamboo flute up from the stage with a smile, and saw Zhou Nan solemnly holding the flute on stage, and the scene fell silent.

The melodious sound of the flute sounded, and the German-style minor tune of "Edelweiss" resounded throughout the hall, allowing everyone to listen quietly.

When the sound of the flute fell, Zhou Nan put away the bamboo flute, but the students who heard this instrument for the first time were not satisfied, and strongly asked Zhou Nan to perform another song.

Zhou Nan did not refuse the students' request, and the next performance was "The Original Scenery of Hometown", which was very popular in the 90s. Although this piece was composed by the Japanese Sojiro, it is full of oriental charm, and it is also suitable for Zhou Nan to express his nostalgia for his hometown.

In terms of artistic standards, this "Original Scenery of Hometown" is a level higher than Edelweiss, so the first piece just amazed everyone with Zhou Nan's creativity, but the second piece made everyone obsessed.

Moreover, the length of this piece and the deep feelings of the bamboo flute are also more expressive than the original ocarina.

Zhou Nan's performance can be said to be very successful, and he can even see tears in the eyes of many people in the audience. Everyone was immersed in his music, and when the song was finished, no one was clamoring for another song.

Zhou Nan put the bamboo flute on the back of his arm, stood upright, and walked down the rostrum. At this time, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Zhou Nan had already walked to the door at this time, and he didn't look back, because his tears couldn't help but flow.

The motherland he loved was now mired in a fierce civil war, and the emotional valve of homesickness was opened, so that he could no longer control his emotions.

Although he suffered countless abuses there in another life, Zhou Nan didn't really regard it as his life, but more like watching a movie.

So he still loves that land deeply, because it is his roots.

Regarding the conditions for the appointment of visiting professors, Zhou Nan also authorized Etinny to help him negotiate, because he didn't care about remuneration at all, so there was no disagreement, and in less than half an hour, Zhou Nan took the appointment letter from Stampfrey's hand.

In the future, Zhou Nan will attend classes at the Faculty of Humanities in Bern twice a year, and the content of the course is not required, but it must be in line with the Faculty of Humanities' research on the changes in human society.

The school would bear Zhounan's round-trip expenses, and Zhounan only asked for a symbolic payment of one Swiss franc.

With the publication of the "General History of the World", Zhou Nan no longer has to worry about money, and Zhou Nan can get about 100,000 Swiss francs from the sales of 50,000 copies sold this week, priced at 8 Swiss francs per volume.

Even if he had to pay 12 percent of the national tax, 4 percent of the state tax, and then 15 percent of the Liberal Democrats, Zhou Nan's profit would be more than 70,000 Swiss francs, which is equivalent to a salary that most people can't earn for ten years.

In Switzerland today, the average person's annual income is only two or three thousand Swiss francs.

"Jonas, I won't accompany you anymore for future speeches, but I have already adjusted the relationship in all aspects, and you don't have to worry about facing difficulties in school."

Facing a serious Jean Nord, Zhou Nan was really moved by him. Becoming a visiting professor at a university is certainly a manifestation of his ability.

But he, a young man with no higher education, can be so popular, how can it be so simple behind it.

Zhou Nan also said sincerely: "I will be very busy in the next few days, so please come to Lucerne on the weekend, and I will do some conditioning for you." ”

"You're still going to heal?" He asked in surprise.

Zhou Nan shook his head. "No, I'm just going to help you get your body in shape so that your body doesn't become so weak. Also, there is no need to take medicine. ”
