Chapter 40: It's Nonsense
[Dear Lu Zhou, this is the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. First of all, thank you for your contribution to the journal "Bulletin of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics". The conclusions you made in your article "Optimal Inversion Theory of Linear Operators and Linear Functionals" have a key insight into the bottlenecks we are encountering in our joint project with the Paul Schell Institute in Switzerland......
【…… It is a project on the spectrum analysis of seismic wave backhaul, which will be used in the field of geological resource exploration and seismic research, and the details of which are not to be disclosed under confidentiality contracts, but we assure you that the results of your research are used for peaceful purposes......]
【…… Upon learning that you were only 19 years old, Professor Rodwell and Professor Li of our institute expressed their surprise and admiration for your talent in the field of mathematics. While we would like to thank you for your research, we would like to extend an invitation to you if you are interested in pursuing an undergraduate or master's degree in the United States. 】
Shangjing City, next to Wudaokou Vocational College, in an old-fashioned apartment building.
Spread out on the table was the Jinling Daily, which quoted a letter from New York University, excerpted some of it, and gave a roundup of the debate that had taken place some time ago over the scarf.
As for the origin of this newspaper, it was sent by his old classmate, who was the president of Jinling University.
I also sent a copy of the original English version of the thank-you letter.
"It's nonsense!"
After reading the newspaper, he took off the eyes on the bridge of his nose, and the gray-haired old gentleman shook his head, and his fingers resting on the table were trembling with anger.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the study, and when he saw the expression on the old man's face, he couldn't help asking, "Dad, what makes you angry like this?" ”
"See for yourself." The old gentleman tapped his index finger on the newspaper.
Seeing the cover of the newspaper, a hint of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
Unlike his father, who retires at home and walks his dog and plays chess all day long, he usually often contacts the Internet, and he has naturally heard of these current affairs hot spots. Even yesterday, he talked to his colleagues about it.
Regardless of whether there is really a problem with the paper, an "expert" who claims to be a non-governmental scholar catches an undergraduate, and the method of stirring up the heat is really subordinate.
To put it mildly, that's a joke and a mess.
To put it more broadly, it is the persecution of intellectuals, and its heart can be punished!
"You know that, too?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"A layman pointing fingers at the side, isn't this nonsense? Still pointing out the country? Wait a while, do you still want to hang a sign on people's chests and take them to the streets? I can't stand it anymore! Do you know what I remember? I think of ...... more than forty years ago."
Those cloudy pupils seemed to be stuck in memories of the past.
The old gentleman opened his mouth, suddenly sighed, and shook his head.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all over."
Then, he looked at the bottom of the newspaper and quoted some of the blog posts of the blogger named Zhu Fangcai.
“…… This article is wonderfully written, it is really quite the legacy of the young generals of the year, heh. The old gentleman snorted coldly, supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, and stood up from the chair.
The middle-aged man asked, "Dad, are you going out?" It's almost time for dinner. ”
The old gentleman waved his hand and walked to the door: "Don't eat, today, I'll go to the old classmate to sit down!" I can't breathe out, and my heart is really fucking uncomfortable! ”
……
The letter of thanks published in the "Jinling Daily" was published by the public opinion. The argument went in the other direction.
Could a talent recognized by NYU be a good-for-nothing academic cancer?
The people who were originally skeptical of Lu Zhou began to reflect again.
New York University is ranked in the top 30 in the world. It's reasonable to say that Jin Da protects his own people for the sake of the school's reputation, but there is no reason for foreigners to follow the other side of the Pacific Ocean to gain popularity, right? And what kind of Swiss research institute, it sounds very high-end......
As soon as this report came out, Zhu Fangcai's nose was crooked.
Unable to sit still, he immediately jumped out and published his third blog post overnight.
This time, he no longer dwelled on the academic value of the paper.
"Even if you can prove that the paper is okay, it doesn't prove that the paper was written by you!"
"How can a student who has not graduated from an undergraduate degree write such a thesis?"
"Who can prove it? Can Jinling University prove it? Just because how many times have you been to the library? I've been to more libraries than you've ever heard of! How do I write ten essays in less than a month? ”
"You say you're a genius, but I don't believe it!"
Seeing Zhu Fangcai's blog post, Lu Zhou wanted to say to him face-to-face: "Because you're stupid......"
However, it is a pity that the other party did not give him this opportunity at all.
This controversy has developed to the point where it has become a bit of a shrew scolding the street.
However, just when Lu Zhou thought that this debate would continue to see-saw, suddenly a report published in the "Huaguo Youth Daily" broke the stalemate farce.
The title of the article is domineering.
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, they don't have ambitions!" 》
The article did not mention the controversy on the Internet some time ago, but just reported on an ordinary college student, about the total 11 SCI papers he published this year, as well as the objective evaluation of these papers by two professors from PBC University, and the letter of thanks from across the ocean.
And his name is Lu Zhou.
This report was not only published in the print media, but also published on the official Weibo of "Huaguo Youth Daily" at the same time.
In addition, it has been reprinted by the official WeChat of many media such as "Renren Daily".
This time, Lu Zhou was once again pushed to the hot search.
But the nature is completely different......
Staring at the mobile phone screen, Zhu Fangcai's widening eyes were burning with anger, but the cold sweat couldn't stop pouring down.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be playing a little bigger.
In the past, no one paid attention to him, he jumped as he wanted, and the people who took care of him were the same small characters as him, or slightly stronger than him, but he was far from being able to slap him to death.
And yet now......
The state media clearly intends to promote Lu Zhou as an outstanding college student in the new era, setting him up as a role model for contemporary college students. And his argument of wishing someone is exactly the opposite of the propaganda caliber above.
That's a bit serious......
What to do?
Confession?
But it's impossible for fans to buy it, and the fans that have finally risen have to be lost if they can't say it well.
Don't admit it......
Zhu Fangcai was really a little scared, and he was the next one to be named.
In front of the above propaganda caliber, no matter how many fans you have, it is no different from grasshoppers, and the top is big. If you really want to slap him to death, it's a slap in the face.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
The caller is also an education commentator, and his name is Zhong Bowen.
This guy occasionally writes some articles, but his temperament is a little mild, and his views are not as radical as Zhu Dazui, and people in the circle call him Lao Zhong, who is a kind and easy person to get along with.
"Pillars, just do it...... I will accept this when I see it, and if you continue to do so, I'm afraid there will be a problem. Old Zhong said earnestly.
"Old Zhong, it's not that I don't want to stop, it's that it's hard to ride a tiger." Zhu Fangcai sighed.
Lao Zhong said bitterly: "Do you think those 985 are easy to mess with? Bullying others with few fans? Is this a problem with the number of followers? You say that you, who is not good, you have to go to a university, who has few alumni on it? ”
"I didn't think about Jinling University, that is, I took that little cub's paper and said a few words. Anyone who sees 10 papers published in a month will feel abnormal, right? Who would have thought that they would react so much, I think there must be a problem! Zhu Fangcai quibbled.
"I think your brain is not normal," Lao Zhong couldn't help but squirt at him, "Think about it with your brain, can an undergraduate student who publishes 10 papers a month be a normal person?" ”
Think about it this way......
It seems to be the same.
But now it's too late to regret it.
“…… So what do you think I'll do? Zhu Fang sighed.
"It's easy to settle this matter, others just asked you to apologize. You apologize, admit your mistake, and it may be over. Lao Zhong said on the phone.
"It's impossible, I'd rather go to court, and how much money will I pay if I fight a lawsuit...... If I admit it, the loss will be even greater. His expression struggled a little, and finally Zhu Fangcai shook his head, "At most, I'll talk less next." ”
It is impossible to apologize, it is impossible to apologize in this life.
At most, it's cold treatment, and if it doesn't work, just go to court!
What storm he hasn't seen?
He wrote that drinking Longjing tea caused cancer when even the local government. The government has suffered lawsuits, and in the end, it only lost 600,000 yuan. What can you do with him in the end? Can the court enforce him to lose money, and can it force him to apologize?
Lao Zhong sighed and shook his head: "Then I won't persuade you anymore, so I can do it myself." ”
With that, he hung up the phone.
