After bowing deeply to all the teachers and students, the young ladies of the Academy of Arts gracefully exited under the guidance of the melody.

The red curtain opened, and a line of domineering and magnificent brush words was printed in the center of the big screen.

[Honest and majestic, encouraging learning. 】

That was the motto of Jinling University.

Under the school motto, there is the Great Wall of thousands of miles and the red flag fluttering in the wind.

The first to speak was an old man with glasses.

His figure looked slightly thin, but his straight back was as straight as a flagpole.

This big guy, Lu Zhou has only met a few times, but he is very impressed.

He is none other than the president of Jinling University, academician Xu Jianxu!

Before becoming the president, he was an academician of the Department of Information Technology Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has undertaken more than 20 projects such as the National 973 Major Basic Research Program and the National 863 Program, and has made great contributions to China's information technology and network security.

President Xu's speech was very in the style of a scientific researcher, and what he was was was what he was, without a single empty cliché that made people drowsy. In just five minutes, everything that should be summarized was explained.

With the last thanks, the audience burst into warm applause.

Standing behind the scenes, Lu Zhou was wearing a suit, holding a speech in his hand, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

There were at least 2,000 people sitting in the audience, not only undergraduates from various colleges, but also graduate students and even doctoral students, as well as leaders at all levels of colleges and universities. Even next to the venue, there were cameras from Jinling TV and Suzhou Provincial TV, which broadcast the award ceremony live.

Professor Tang, who was standing next to him with his hands behind his back, asked with a smile, "Nervous?" ”

Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "It's okay." ”

Professor Tang smiled and said, "It's okay, there are still more opportunities for you to come to the stage to give a report in the future." If you take advantage of this kind of exercise, it will be a rehearsal and good for your future development. ”

Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said seriously: "I know." ”

The award is divided into three parts, first the introducer (mentor) speaks, then the winner speaks, and finally the award ceremony and group photo.

Seeing that the principal's speech was over, the moderator announced the start of the next session.

On the big screen in the center of the stage, a text was presented in the form of PPT, summarizing the honor of the winners.

[Lu Zhou, male, Department of Mathematics 2013 level should be in the first class. He has published 13 SCI journals, covering the fields of mathematics, computer science, and computational materials science, and used innovative methods to solve world-class mathematical problems "Zhou's Conjecture", and was invited to participate in the Princeton Mathematics Academic Exchange Conference in February 2015, the winner of the "Higher Education Society Cup" in the undergraduate group of the 2014 National Mathematical Modeling Competition, and the founder of the college student entrepreneurship project "Campus Assistant". 】

Looking at the lines of text on the screen, the audience in the audience let out whispered discussions and exclamations.

If any of these items are taken out alone, it is enough for ordinary people to blow for a lifetime.

Seeing his great achievements being displayed in front of everyone, for the younger brothers and sisters to look up to, Lu Zhou, who was standing behind the scenes, was still a little dark in his heart.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no photo next to these glories.

It would be even more perfect if he could show his talent and handsomeness in front of the teachers and students of the whole school!

Professor Tang walked up to the stage, and the host respectfully helped him straighten the microphone.

The venue gradually fell silent.

I saw this academic titan, cough lightly, and said slowly in a tone different from the previous class.

"If I had to find out the most impressive one among all the students I have taught in the past 30 years, it would probably be Lu Zhou."

"A paper on functional analysis caught the attention of the Courant Institute of Mathematics in New York, a paper that provided new ideas for the computational materials science community, and the birth of Zhou's theorem...... I feel that if I continue, I may be retelling the content of the PPT. ”

After a pause, Professor Tang smiled kindly and continued, "Time is limited, so I won't go into details. Let me evaluate it pertinently, his scientific research achievements have surpassed the level of most master's students and even doctoral students. The most commendable thing is that he is mature enough to find and solve the topics that interest him. ”

"And he is only twenty years old when he does this."

"There is a long way to go, and there are many challenges ahead. Whether it's looking at using mathematical tools to solve real-world problems, or challenging for the Fields Medal. I believe that there will be a place for him in the temple of mathematics in the future. ”

"Thank you."

Bang Bang Bang -

The audience applauded like thunder.

In the applause, Professor Tang smiled kindly, gave the microphone to Lu Zhou, who came to the stage, said "come on" next to him, and then put his hands behind his back and walked behind the scenes.

looked at the faces of the same age as himself in the audience, and the eyes that stared at him.

Looking back on the sweat I have paid for most of the past six months......

Thinking back to the countless days and nights that I had fought for......

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou pressed down the heart that was about to jump out of his chest.

He spoke into the microphone in a voice that was calm and excited.

"I would like to thank Kim University for giving me this opportunity to stand here, and I am also grateful to all of you for giving me this opportunity to speak. Of course, I am most grateful to my parents who raised me and the teachers who taught me......"

"Functional analysis is my main focus, and my first paper was inspired by Professor Tang. In the research team of Professor Li Rongyan, I have cultivated my scientific thinking to use mathematical tools to solve practical problems, which is a valuable experience for me......"

"As for the study of the distribution of Mersenne primes, and thus the proof of Zhou's conjecture, I prefer to describe it as an accident. Like a lot of sudden inspiration, it's just that I might have caught it......"

"And the campus assistant, the credit is not me, but the strength of the team......"

From academics to entrepreneurship, from scientific research thinking to team spirit. Lu Zhou summarized his college life in the past six months, using concise language, integrating sincere feelings, and combining the actual situation, from beginning to end.

It is true that there are many other reasons for one's own success, such as luck and systematic help.

But this does not mean that your efforts and dedication are meaningless.

Even, the latter is the key.

Even without the assistance of the system, if the former self can calm down and be as focused as he is now, he may not have the opportunity to stand on this podium.

And those achievements may not be impossible to obtain.

It's just that all this will definitely not come so quickly, nor will it go so smoothly, and it may take ten or twenty years, or even longer, to sharpen. Perhaps as perseverance fades, it will disappear in the crowd, like most people who have tried hard but failed......

The people in the audience listened very carefully, especially those who had just stepped on campus for less than half a year and deliberately stayed until now after the exam, and even took out a small notebook and meticulously remembered every word he said.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and restrained the expression of his true feelings.

“…… Finally, allow me to conclude by quoting our school motto. ”

"Honest and majestic, inspiring learning."

"I would like to encourage you together!"

"Thank you!"

After a brief silence......

The applause was like a trickling raindrop, which gradually turned into a pouring rain.

And Lu Zhou, standing on the podium, was like being in the rain.

"Bang Bang Bang ——!"

"Bang Bang Bang ——!"

Facing the auditorium with thunderous applause, Lu Zhou bowed slightly, nodded to the host, and then walked behind the scenes.
