Stockholm City Hall, an ancient building with an outward appearance and a splendid interior, has been the venue for four of the five prizes since the establishment of the Nobel Prize.

On the day of the 10th, the eyes of the whole world were focused on this place. In addition to Zhou Nan, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, there is also the British physicist Appleton, who won the physics prize, and Zhou Nan's old friend, the British chemist Robinson, also won the chemistry prize.

There are three winners of the Physiology and Medicine Prize, including a husband and wife from the United States, named Calcori and Gitticori, and the other is from the Argentine scientist Josein.

Several of them became the focus of the audience, and were warmly welcomed by the media from all over the world, and all the flashiness and exaggeration are very much in line with the current status of the Nobel Prize.

And Zhou Nan has obviously received more attention, not only because he is the youngest Nobel Prize winner, but also because he is a well-known celebrity himself.

"The Diary of Anne Frank", which is now being released in many countries, has pushed Zhou Nan's prestige to a peak.

When Zhou Nan received the trophy and certificate from Gustav VI, the flashing lights in the audience made everyone unable to open their eyes.

The Nobel Prize is usually presented by the Swedish royal family, and the fifth generation, who is approaching the age of 90 this year, did not attend today's award ceremony, but let the sixth generation take his place.

He had obviously never experienced such a moment, and the flash directly stimulated his tears, causing a burst of laughter from the scene.

Zhou Nan has also experienced such a time, and since then, he will pay attention not to let his eyes face the camera directly, so he did not shed tears today.

After the award, Gustav VI returned to his place, and Zhou Nan also stood in front of the podium and spread out the speech he had prepared.

He cleared his throat, looked around the scene, and began his speech:

Distinguished members of the Swedish Academy, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and viewers who will be able to see the video in the future. This is an exciting time, and from today, the Nobel laureate list has added another member of different colors, and the prize named after Mr. Nobel has truly become a worldwide prize.

Twenty-five years ago, I was born in a beautiful coastal city in the Far East. It has a long history, beautiful nature, and hardworking and simple people.

When I was growing up, I was exposed to the fusion and collision of Eastern and Western cultures since I was a child, which gave me the ability to analyze the world from different perspectives.

Growing up, I lived in the shadow of war all the time, which taught me to bear the pressure of life in the midst of depression and to think about what actually led to war.

After introducing himself, Zhou Nan expressed his gratitude to Yannick's family and his wife Audrey, and then entered the theme of his speech today: desire, war, and survival.

Human beings have adapted to the world since they began to act, and all human beings are driven by desires. Desire has become the source and driving force of human development, and this cannot be changed by anyone.

Then there are some zealous moralists who whimsically think that by virtue of responsibility and moral principles, they can fight against desire. I say this whimsical, not because no one has ever shown to be responsible, but because the word responsibility means nothing to a person if it is not the sense of responsibility that he desires to show.

If you want to know what a person will do, you must not only have a general understanding of the material environment in which he lives, but also his entire desires and thoughts, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

Desire can be divided into two levels. The first level comes from the basic needs of life, including food, shelter, clothing. When these things become scarce, people will go to great lengths to obtain them in order to survive, even resorting to violence.

When physical desires are satisfied, then there are psychological desires.

A very important detail that distinguishes man from other animals is that he has psychological desires. This desire can be described as private, and it can never be satisfied, even if it makes him feel like he is in heaven.

And I divide this desire into four types: possession, competition, vanity, and power.

Possessiveness is one of the infinite motivations of human beings. Even though you can get a lot, you'll always want more. Contentment is a dream that can never be realized, and it is one of the main reasons that has led to human progress and even war.

……

Competitiveness is also the main reason for human development, when you have more resources than me, when your strength is stronger than mine, when your woman is more beautiful than my woman, these can be the driving force for development or war.

……

And vanity is the most primitive spiritual need of human beings, and it is also the fundamental need of human beings to be self-centered, even a newborn child will cry to seek self-existence, this primitive need, even so far can not be explained.

……

As for power, anyone here knows that it is the most fundamental basis for attracting countless people to learn and develop. When a person can control his own destiny, controlling the destiny of more people has become his ultimate goal.

And this goal will gradually swell and become bigger and bigger......

Zhou Nan analyzed the composition of desire in detail in a short period of time, and then changed the topic to war:

The desires mentioned above are the motivation and source of human beings from the heart, and when an individual's desires are expressed from the inside and outside, there will be contradictions with others and society.

When contradictions and struggles are expressed in their highest form and by violent means, they evolve into war.

Of course, humans are not the only ones who have war, many creatures such as ants and chimpanzees have acts of war. But the difference between animals and humans is that animals cause wars more because of the desires of the first stage, such as fighting for food, fighting for mate rights.

However, the factors of human war are diverse, and it is more because of the desire of the second stage that large-scale wars will be triggered.

War is the highest form of struggle between political groups, nations (tribes), and countries (alliances), and is the most violent means of resolving disputes.

But driven by desire, everyone is happy to repeat this destruction.

The birth of the atomic bomb will change the pattern of warfare, and when human warfare can reach the point of self-destruction, then we should sit down and think about what we should do......

Zhou Nan did not elaborate too much on the war, after all, the aftermath of World War II has not yet dissipated, and the curtain of the Cold War has just opened.

Zhou Nan turned the topic to life again:

The first thing a person needs to be satisfied in his birth is survival. Only when the basic conditions for survival are met can we talk about life.

In my personal opinion, life is a state of higher level than survival, and it is also an optimistic attitude towards life.

Life is the sum of various activities in the process of human existence, and the scope is relatively broad, and generally refers to the existence for the meaning of happiness. Life is actually an interpretation of life, and it also includes the daily activities and psychological innuendos of human beings in society that are closely related to themselves.

The value of life is an important category in the outlook on life system, and the value is "concrete" in the field of outlook on life. In a certain sense, the value of life is the meaning of life, and by evaluating the "amount of value" of life, we can understand the meaning of life and understand the meaning of life.

In a broad sense, life refers to the various activities of a person, including daily life activities, study, work, leisure, socialization, entertainment and other professional life, personal life, family life and social life, as well as ideal life.

For a better life, each of us must put in the effort.

In this process, personal desires are the source that governs the motivation of all people to pursue. At this time, we need to carry out more proper guidance, so that people's pursuit cannot expand and deteriorate endlessly.

We should promote more positive, optimistic, kind, and peaceful pursuits, rather than the kind that leads to more wars, and that is the purpose of my speech today.

Finally, Zhou Nan once again expressed his gratitude to everyone on the scene and the jury, and also received warm applause from the scene.

Zhou Nan's 5,000-word, more than 10-minute speech received no less than 10 warm applause, and it has also become a classic speech for the Nobel Prize Prize.

At the end of the awards evening, the winners and invited guests came to the Blue Hall for dinner.

At this time, the pomp and circumstance of the awards gala had spread all over the world along with the telephone and telegram.

Dinner was a fair mix of venison, shrimp, cod and salmon, as well as fresh vegetables from Italy.

Zhou Nan ate two large pieces of venison in a row, and then he felt a little ruthless, his whole body was hot, and his gums were a little swollen.

After the dinner, today's gathering is not over. More than 20 members of the Nobel family who had dinner in the underground hall gathered with everyone in the Golden Hall after the dinner and started the most lively celebratory ball.

Gustav VI, his Crown Princess, and members of their families also attended the ball to celebrate the end of the ceremony.

And Zhou Nan was favored by many guests, and one night, he was surrounded by scholars and celebrities from all over the world. It's not Hollywood, but it's also a vanity fair!

One night, Zhou Nan's face was numb with laughter, but he couldn't even find a chance to leave early.

The only good thing is that Zhou Nan has met many scholars and celebrities through this, which has made his social circle increase a lot, and his social network has expanded to every part of the world.

Two months later, the third World Economic Forum will be attended by many leaders and academics.

More importantly, when Nanhua was founded, more countries would recognize and establish diplomatic relations, which was what Zhou Nan attached the most importance to.

(Originally, the speech was very long, but I couldn't write two chapters into a speech, so it was much more concise...... ）
