Chapter 816: The Light of Youth

Compared with Jin Dae, who celebrated the school, Lu Zhou, who was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was much calmer.

After all, compared to those scholars who have finally reached the top of academicians after more than ten years of drilling, this title of lifetime honor does not bring him much more.

Therefore, when he received the notice, not to mention the feeling of surprise, for Lu Zhou himself, there was not even an unexpected emotion, but more of a well-deserved calm.

The support he can get from the academic community in this country, and the resources he can muster, are far beyond the reach of ordinary academicians.

Jinling University.

Office of the Academy.

In order to deal with the students' papers, Lu Zhou rarely took time out of his busy schedule to come here. However, when he first walked into the office, he was startled by the pile of things piled up in the corner.

I haven't been back for a week, so my office has become a storage room.

Lin Yuxiang, who was sitting at the door, saw Lu Zhou, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed away the chair and stood up.

"Professor, you're back, the people who have come to you these days are about to break through the threshold of our office."

didn't go to Assistant Lin, looking at the half-human-tall cactus that was closest to him and placed against the wall, Lu Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"Where did you get this?"

Looking at the half-human-tall cactus and thinking for a while, Lin Yuxiang finally remembered who sent it Lin Yuxiang clapped his hand and said suddenly, "This, this is sent by Professor Zhang from the Academy of Things, and he also asked me to bring you a blessing, I wish you a smooth academic road and will never fall like a cactus." ”

This blessing sounds fine, but why does it always feel weird......

“…… The next time I see Professor Zhang, thank him for me," Lu Zhou coughed lightly, suddenly noticed the thermos cup on the table, reached out and took a look, "Where did this come from?" ”

He always felt like he had seen it somewhere, but for a moment he couldn't remember where it was. However, Lin Yuxiang, who was standing next to him, immediately remembered it and said with a smile.

"This was given to you by Professor Tang!"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou finally remembered where he had seen this thing, and immediately sweated wildly.

"Didn't he give me his own?"

If that's the case, then this gift is too hardcore, right?

"When you say this, how can anyone give away their used cups? But what he gave you seems to be the same as the one he used himself," Lin Yuxiang pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, when Professor Tang handed me the cup, he also asked me to bring you a sentence, asking you to pay more attention to taking care of your body, drink less instant coffee on weekdays, and drink more hot water when you are thirsty." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's heart couldn't help but warm.

He knows a lot of professors at Kim University, but the one who misses him the most is probably the retired Tang.

Lu Zhou has always been very respectful of this teacher who brought him on the road of mathematics, although he did not give himself a lot of help in academics, but he pointed out a direction for himself outside of academics, helping him to avoid many detours when he was young.

Therefore, every New Year's holiday, regardless of whether he is free or not, Lu Zhou will bring some gifts to visit the elderly.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was speechless, Lin Yuxiang blinked and asked.

"Do you want me to pour you a cup of hot water?"

Coming back to his senses from the memory, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile and put the thermos cup in his hand.

"No need, you can help me record the gifts, organize them on an Excel sheet and send them to my mailbox, and return them if they are worth more than 500 yuan, and you want to have a place to collect the rest, just pile it up in the corner and take up too much space."

"Yes!" Playfully raised his hand and saluted, Assistant Lin blinked and said, "Wrap it on me." ”

Returning to his desk and sitting down, Lu Zhou opened the drawer, took out a stack of papers from it, opened the first one, and carefully reviewed it. Although it is only a master's thesis, he has always had high requirements for his students.

After all, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has so many resources, and it is not necessary to think about graduating from him with just one water.

Don't talk about it, you have to come out of the water one by one, right?

It's also for their own good.

Just then, there was a knock at the door of the office.

Putting down the pen he had just picked up, Lu Zhou spoke.

"Please come in."

The door of the office was pushed open, and I saw Academician Xu, the president of Jinda, walking in with a smile.

"Congratulations, Academician Lu! In the future, you will be the youngest academician in the history of our Jinda University. It is estimated that within a hundred years, no one will be able to break this record. ”

"It's hard to say, we have countless young talents in Jinda, who would have thought that there would be a more powerful scholar than me in the future," Lu Zhou smiled, stood up from the office chair, and made a gesture of please to the sofa, "Please take a seat." ”

"You're welcome."

After a few pleasantries, the two sat down on the sofa in the office.

Lin Yuxiang walked over with a pot of freshly boiled tea and poured it for the two of them.

Looking at the rising mist on the teacup, Principal Xu paused and said with a smile.

"I'm here to disturb this time, firstly, to congratulate you on your election as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and secondly, there is still one thing I want to ask for your opinion."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You are too polite, if there is anything you can do to help, just notify me." ”

"Haha, how can that work! Although it is not a very troublesome matter, but your work is related to the future and future of our country, if your work is delayed because of the Jinda incident, then I have to apologize to the people of the whole country! ”

A little exaggerated joke, Principal Xu looked at Lu Zhou and smiled, and continued, "Here's the thing, some time ago, the Ministry of Education came to Jinda to inspect, and I talked with the top leader of the Ministry of Education about the issue of undergraduate education, and I think that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the current teaching system. Therefore, we plan to open a key class in several key majors in the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics, as a pilot for the reform of undergraduate education, and focus on cultivating academic talents! ”

Regarding President Xu's statement, Lu Zhou nodded in agreement: "Undergraduate education must be valued, and a scholar is the first to come into contact with the concept of academics, that is, from undergraduate. However, we can't overdo it, reform for the sake of reform, and in the end there is no benefit except for increasing the course burden on students. ”

Principal Xu nodded and said, "We understand what you said, so we started from the pilot class." If the pilot is successful, promote it, and if not, improve it! ”

"I think it's doable," Lu Zhou smiled, "but I don't think there's anything I can do to help with this." ”

Principal Xu smiled and said, "How can there be nothing to help with?" Senior Lu is a role model for our Jinda students! I've heard that the place where you used to sit in the library was offered by the students, and people still go there to worship it today! ”

Lu Zhou coughed dryly: "You won the award, it was all performance art made by the students." ”

"It's not an award, I really want to ask you," President Xu waved his hand, looked at Lu Zhou solemnly and continued, "The study at the undergraduate level is too far away for me, and it is too far away for the experts of our teaching and research group, not to mention that our conditions back then were different from now, and both concepts and experience could not keep up with the times. ”

"Regarding this batch of reform pilot classes, I hope that you can serve as the general advisor of our teaching and research group, which will not take up too much of your time, and only need you to provide some valuable advice."

If it had been before, Lu Zhou might not have been able to react so quickly.

But now, as soon as he heard it, he understood the true intention of President Xu asking him to name this consultant. Most of the time it is because the Ministry of Education has not completely negotiated it, or the talks have not gone so smoothly, so it is easier to do things on the central side by bringing their own names.

However, even after figuring this out, Lu Zhou didn't say much.

This little thing is just a nod to him, Jin University has helped him a lot over the years, both in the academic field and outside the academic field, and it is also appropriate to help his alma mater do something.

What's more, this is also a good thing for the students of Jinda.

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter, then I'll be the chief consultant." ”

Principal Xu immediately had a smile on his face.

"Then I'll thank Senior Lu for the younger brothers and sisters of Jinda."

Lu Zhou coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, don't be like this, it's nothing for the juniors and sisters to call me senior, you are two rounds older than me, don't make this joke, right?" ”

Principal Xu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Haha, that's what I said...... By the way, speaking of this pilot class, we plan to name this batch of reform pilot classes as the Nobel Light class, what do you think? ”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I don't think it's right."

"Oh?" Principal Xu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Why?" ”

"The Nobel Prize is a goal worth striving for by young scholars, but it is not the end of the academic world. Since we intend to use this batch of reform pilot classes as a base for cultivating academic talents, I don't recommend instilling these skills in our students from the beginning," Lu Zhou continued, after a pause, "After all, we didn't choose to become scholars because of Nobel Prize or Fields. Before working in this direction, we should have other original intentions that are more cherished. ”

Principal Xu: "Then what do you think should be called?" ”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and spoke.

"When young people are strong, the country is strong, and whether a country's young scholars are positive or not is related to the next 50 years or even the more distant future of the country and even the nation."

"I hope that these young people we have cultivated can plant a seed in their hearts. After they germinate, they can become truly useful talents in society, science, civilization and the future! ”

"Therefore, I propose that this pilot class be called the Light of Youth!"

After listening to Lu Zhou's words, Principal Xu was silent for a while.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Today's young scholars, I am afraid that there are no two people who have such a mind as Mr."

With that, he patted his thigh and nodded.

"Then according to what you said, it's called the Light of Youth Class!"
