Chapter 170: A deafening answer

"Next, fifth reporter in the fourth row."

Soon, a crisp female reporter stood up.

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, this reporter he knew, it was CCTV reporter Liu Jiale who had been following during this time.

Liu Jiale held the microphone and said with a smile: "Teacher Pang, hello, I am CCTV reporter Liu Jiale. As we all know, Professor Deligne, the chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, has sent you an invitation to go to the United States to hold an academic lecture on the Fermat conjecture. ”

Well, it's also a question to prepare in advance.

Pang Xuelin smiled: "Of course, I am honored to receive the invitation of Professor Deligne, and it has always been my expectation to communicate with the world's top mathematicians, so I will definitely go to the United States." ”

There was a commotion in the audience, Pang Xuelin actually decided to accept Professor Deligne's invitation to go to the United States, which is big news!

A young scholar who has never received an orthodox education, challenges the world's top mathematicians!

There are even reporters who have come up with corresponding headlines.

Geng Huan said: "The fourth question, the lady who is sitting in the third place in the fifth row!" ”

This time, it was a beautiful Western reporter.

The beautiful reporter said in English: "Teacher Pang Xuelin, hello, I am Times reporter Eura Shelley, what I want to ask is, if you go to the United States to hold a report meeting, how do you communicate with other mathematicians in the world?" To know the technical terms in the field of mathematics, many of them cannot be expressed in Chinese. ”

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, and also replied in English: "I think with my English level, there should be no problem in coping with a report meeting!" ”

There was a buzzing sound in the press conference hall again, and no one expected that Pang Xuelin's spoken English would be so good.

The words are round, and they are very pure American English.

Eula Shelley couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously said, "Where did you learn your English?" As far as I know, the level of English teaching in remote areas of China is not very high. ”

Pang Xuelin said calmly: "It took me a year to memorize a Longman English-Chinese dictionary!" ”

“……”

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward and a little weird.

Eula Shelley's eyes widened, and she sat down helplessly.

The simultaneous interpreter on the side also glanced at Pang Xuelin in surprise, after memorizing the Longman English-Chinese dictionary in a year, is it really fake?

Geng Huan couldn't laugh and cry: "Okay, the next ......"

Next, Pang Xuelin resisted, whether it was a Chinese reporter or a Western reporter, no matter what question the other party asked, he basically coped with it easily.

And Pang Xuelin's answer was basically not evasive, and most of the reporters got a satisfactory reply.

As time went on, the atmosphere throughout the conference became more and more relaxed.

"Okay, today's press conference is almost over, next to the last question!"

Geng Huan said.

Soon, a large number of arms were raised again at the press conference.

Scott stared at Pang Xuelin deadly, and while raising his hand, he silently said in his heart: "Choose me, choose me, choose me!" ”

From entering the press conference to learning that Pang Xuelin was really the proof of Fermat's conjecture, Scott has been brewing to make a big news.

It's just a pity that he has not been selected for the first dozen or so questions.

Maybe his prayer really worked, and Geng Huan really pointed to him in the end: "The second man in the sixth row!" ”

Scott took the microphone from the worker, stood up, and said, "Hello, Mr. Pang, I'm Washington Post reporter Layton Scott. The question I want to ask is, as a top scholar who can solve Fermat's conjecture, but can only commit to a rural elementary school, will you be outraged by the injustice you have suffered? How do you see the huge gap between rich and poor in rural and urban areas in China? If you were invited to teach at a top university in the United States, such as Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Caltech, etc., would you accept such an invitation or even become a naturalized citizen of the United States of America? At present, less than 20% of Chinese students return to China, what do you think about this? ”

Scott's voice fell, and the scene fell silent again.

This issue is too sensitive, and as the world's only superpower, the United States is undoubtedly attractive to Chinese in this era.

In the eyes of many Chinese, the United States is a distant and strange and rich land, and they believe that they will live a paradise-like life if they go there, and they will not hesitate to pay a great price to immigrate to the United States in order to realize their dreams.

In this era, how many top domestic talents have lost overseas.

There are simply too many to count.

In particular, as long as a top scholar like Pang Xuelin reveals a tendency to emigrate, no country in the world will refuse it.

For a while, everyone focused on Pang Xuelin to see how he would answer!

Pang Xuelin looked at Scott, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated.

Geng Huan coughed dryly, and just wanted to speak out to help Pang Xuelin resolve this problem, he heard Pang Xuelin speak.

"I love my country! So I'm not going to immigrate to the U.S. and teach at a university in the U.S.! ”

"China is now a developing country, and perhaps there are all kinds of problems in China at the moment, including the gap between the rich and the poor, including unequal distribution, including inequality in education...... However, I believe that my country is on the right path. We have a population of 1.3 billion people, and our country has only a primary school per capita education, and we need time...... We need to build on the current foundation, develop the economy, invest in education, and we need to continuously improve the education level of our next generation......"

"As a rural primary school teacher, I am proud of my profession because I am making a difference in our country and in the next generation...... I believe that with the passage of time, our country will one day return to where it rightfully belongs......"

"As for those who choose to emigrate abroad, I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions, and I will not judge this. However, I would also like to take this opportunity today to say to all the Chinese here and to the millions of aspiring young people here: The place where you stand is your China; What you do, what happens to China; China is what you are; If you have light, China will not be dark...... I encourage you all! ”

The press conference was quietly pin down.

The eyes of the foreign journalists attending the meeting were full of surprise and admiration.

No one expected that Pang Xuelin would give such an answer.

Patriotism has never been a derogatory term, and even those Western journalists can clearly feel his strong feelings for the country from Pang Xuelin's answers.

And those Chinese reporters looked at Pang Xuelin with complicated expressions, and many reporters who were a little more emotional even began to redden their eyes when they heard the last paragraph that Pang Xuelin said.

More reporters quickly recorded the last sentence Pang Xuelin said with a pen.

What does the future hold for our country?

In this era of confusion, no one has ever been able to give such a deafening answer!

Bang Bang Bang ......

Geng Huan looked at Pang Xuelin with a complicated expression, and took the lead in applauding.

Immediately afterwards, applause resounded throughout the press conference hall like a tide.
