"Electric light has brought unprecedented light to mankind! Electric light made it the first time that humanity conquered the darkness! This is the greatest invention made by distant China for mankind after papermaking! ”

After the electric light sprinkled light on Napoleon III at the Paris World's Fair, in a very short time, the electric light was discussed throughout Europe. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info discussing this invention from China, almost everyone was surprised by this invention, and many more people were full of interest in him.

The most immediate response is probably the fall in shares of gas companies in places like London – because electric lights could replace gas lamps on the streets at any time. In London, almost all the newspapers used long stories to praise the electric light and the invention that opened up a new era.

In everyone's opinion, the electric light replaced almost everything, and was the greatest invention of the World's Fair. Influenced by the newspaper reports, people are talking about electric light, but they are also talking about China, about that distant country.

But for many people, electric lights are too far away. After all, China is too far away. Just like for some universities in Oxford and the UK, China is indeed very far away, but on the other hand, the Chinese are very close.

The University of Oxford is arguably the oldest university in the United Kingdom, where most of the kings, prime ministers and aristocratic officials of Britain were educated. Among the universities, the Radcliffe Library is one of the most recognisable landmarks of the University of Oxford due to its distinctive circular dome. It is the most authoritative library in Oxford, and it attracts many students every day.

Even though it has been a year since he came here, for the students of Oxford University, the Asian man with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin will attract their attention every time he comes.

This is a Chinese!

Many Oxford students know that this Chinese is arguably a genius who learned standard Oxford English in just a few months, and before that he didn't even speak English. Now he can not only converse with his classmates and professors in standard Oxford English, but he can also read English books, and he is even proficient in French and Latin.

He's an absolute genius!

Almost everyone at Oxford thinks so, and even many of his classmates here believe that he will become China's prime minister one day.

For Wang Minyun, compared with the past, he has changed too much in the year since he came to the UK, at least he is no longer "drilling" as in the past, and even he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to "travel" to European countries with the head of diplomacy, but chose to study in the UK.

After coming to England, after witnessing the civilization of Europe, he fundamentally put away his contempt for Europeans in his heart, and no longer regarded them as "barbarians", especially after entering Oxford University, in this university, he has completely changed, no longer as in the past, he generally thinks that "the West is better than Gewu, and the Chinese article is unparalleled in the world", and he will not feel that the West has no morality except for "the art of practical gain".

Even in many aspects that he was once proud of, the West is far ahead of China. And this also made him understand why Han Du proposed to "seek knowledge from the world". Many of the Western countries may be ahead of China's in terms of knowledge, and each country has its own strengths and weaknesses.

"England: Instrumentation, Commercial Law, Geology, Iron Law, Architecture, Shipbuilding, Animal Husbandry, Poor Welfare ......"

In the library, Wang Minyun is writing his proposals, and in the past year, he has been asking professors for all kinds of knowledge, mainly to teach the world's leading disciplines in the study of various countries, and then write a catalog, according to his idea, he wants to send this catalog to Handu, and then send it to the Ministry of Rites, so that international students can choose disciplines according to their personal wishes.

"Helping the Poor and Caring for the Poor...... This discipline has no tradition in China, but it has become a discipline in the West......"

Although for Wang Minyun, who is familiar with historical books, he knows very well that the current "poverty alleviation" in Britain is far from being compared with the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, but compared with the Song Dynasty, its poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation is more "scientific" and covers a wider range of people, although the opposite of "poverty relief and poverty alleviation" is the backwardness of the British workhouse system. However, this does not prevent it from making theoretical progress.

After analysing the various disciplines in England one by one, he continued to write about the French disciplines.

"Law, Diplomacy, Welfare (Transportation, Law of Production, Principles of Gathering, System of Currency and Banknotes), Zoology, National Studies, Astrology, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Architecture, ......"

In addition to studying France, he even made a point of mentioning Prussia's "law of schools", that is, Prussian compulsory education. Among all the Western arts, Wang Minyun admired the compulsory education in Prussia the most. Although he had never been to Prussia, he knew through his classmates that every child, male or female, had to attend school in Prussia.

“…… In Prussia, education and military service were both considered obligatory obligations of citizens, and the state had to provide its citizens with the opportunity to receive an education. Humboldt set up a primary school in Prussia to raise the standard of civic education, and how can Prussia be united in today's monarchs and people, and how can Prussia win many wars......"

When writing about the importance of education in Prussia, Wang Minyun wrote in a special article.

“…… The reason why China has been able to occupy the central empire for thousands of years is really because of the articles of China, and the reason why the West can lead the world today is also due to its education, for any country, its greatest capital is by no means the factory, but its intelligence, if it is an intelligent worker, how can he open a steam apparatus, how can he invent new things? ”

When Wang Min used all the words to praise Prussian education and the importance of Prussian education to Prussia, he couldn't help but think of the manor, where hundreds of young people from China were studying, and some of them would go to the best universities in England in the future.

Perhaps one day they will not only introduce into China the most advanced disciplines that Western countries are good at, but also introduce the forced education of Prussia into China, so as to realize the dream of scholars for thousands of years, the dream of teaching without class.

The environment will change a person, at least for Liu Yuxin, now she is not only dressed like a British girl, if you don't look at her face, from her accent, almost no one will think of her as a Chinese, in just a year and a half, she has obtained a diploma from the best girls' boarding school in the UK, this achievement is enough to surprise the nuns in the school, but the real surprise is her next performance - she actually applied to the Cambridge University Medical School, of course, not only Cambridge, and the University of Oxford, the University of Sheffield, the University of Birmingham, the University of Leeds, the University of Manchester and many other medical schools, her move made the entire women's school feel unprecedented shock, because there have never been female students in British medical schools, so her application frequently hit the wall, and the medical schools of Oxford and Cambridge refused to accept her because of her gender.

But even so, she still did not give up hope, she still stubbornly wrote letters to other medical schools, submitted applications, and even wrote to Queen Victoria for support.

"If it doesn't work, I'll go to France, where there are medical schools that accept applications from women ten years ago, and there are even women's medical schools."

You can even go to the United States, where five years ago the Geneva Medical School also accepted a female student.

In the face of the persuasion of the nuns, Liu Yuxin replied so stubbornly.

Coming to England to study medicine was her long-made mind, and it was also the life path she chose for herself, she seemed weak on the outside, but she was actually extremely strong on the inside, otherwise she would not have written to the queen to ask for support.

Of course, she was lucky, her letter reached Queen Victoria almost at the same time that the World's Fair was illuminated by electric lights, and because of her curiosity about electric lights, the Queen unexpectedly directly intervened in Liu Yuxin's application as a Chinese student, and it was under her intervention that the King's College London Medical School agreed to Liu Yuxin's application.

Of course, like any other student applying to King's College London, Liu Yuxin also went through rigorous exams and interviews, and the medical school had to recruit her for fear of offending the queen.

Even before the interview, the King's College London Medical School asked nearly 200 male students if they would like to accept a female student, and those students thought Liu Yuxin was joking, so they all agreed, wanting to recruit her to see what she could do.

It was also by this coincidence that Liu Yuxin became the first woman in the UK to be admitted to medical school, although she was only 17 years old, but she inadvertently created a history, even Queen Victoria did not realize this, and for Liu Yuxin herself, she was immersed in the joy of imminent admission at this time.

For Liu Yuxin who is on campus, she will always look at this school curiously, and in a few months, she will enter this school as a student, and if everything goes well, in two years, she will become the first female doctor to get a medical degree, yes, one of the major characteristics of King's College London Medical School is that it has a short academic period, and it only takes two years to graduate.

"When the time comes, I can return to China and return to Wuchang ......"

When muttering to himself in his heart, Liu Yuxin once again thought of the person who had been away for several years, would he still remember himself? Remember the little girl he saved? (To be continued.) )
