Chapter 222: Thoughts on the General Assembly
"Professor Qiu, has Elder Gu been in contact with you recently?" After chatting for a while, Junxin began to introduce the topic.
"Oh, does Gu Lao have any new research recently?" The implication is that he has not been in contact with Gu Lao recently.
"Here's the way." When Junxin saw Professor Yau Chengtong say this, he naturally understood what he meant, "Some time ago, I accepted the invitation of the Princeton basketball team to serve as an assistant tactical coach in charge of training and offense, and I went to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia about a month ago, where I met Gu Lao, and I explained to Gu Lao the idea of convening the World Conference of Chinese Mathematicians that you proposed at the Princeton Mathematical Exchange Conference, and Gu Lao was very interested. ”
"And what did he say?" Qiu Chengtong asked solemnly.
Jun Xin thought for a while and said: "Gu Lao agrees with your idea, but he thinks that the strength of Chinese in the world is not only in mathematics, so he proposed to expand the scope of academics, from mathematics to physics, chemistry, biology and the interdisciplinary disciplines of various disciplines, and hold the World Chinese Scientists Conference." ”
"Gu Lao thinks very well, but if you want to gather so many Chinese scientists at the same time, I estimate it will be very difficult! What do you guys think about this? Yau Chengtong asked after thinking about it.
"Gu Lao's idea is to set up a presidium of the World Conference of Chinese Scientists, with two representatives for each discipline, one from China and one from abroad, and then elect a chairman of the conference to form a group, so that a slightly more rigorous academic conference group can be formed." Junxin explained, "I suggest that Gu Lao can postpone the meeting a little bit, and use a year or more to spare about a week or so in the next year or the year after, which I think is okay." ”
After listening carefully to Jun Xin's words, Qiu Chengtong nodded and said: "Regarding the matter of holding the World Congress of Mathematicians, I had a certain idea a long time ago, but I have never had time to do it, and now since Gu Lao is taking the lead, then I have nothing to say, what do I need to do to let Gu Lao just tell me." ”
"I think you can use your influence to spread this news in the scope of Chinese scientists, especially in the United States, and then formalize this matter when the time is right, what do you think?" Junxin said.
"I don't have a problem with that." Qiu Chengtong nodded and said, let him work hard to make preparations, it is estimated that he has no time now, and now that someone takes over this heavy work, at least he can save a lot of time to do his own research work. After a pause, Yau Chengtong suddenly asked, "I haven't asked you yet, where will the meeting be held?" ”
"Mr. Gu decided to return to China around April and May next year, and he will take care of everything, the meeting place, and Mr. Gu and I are interested in using the city of BJ as the meeting place for the first conference."
"Is the wanderer home? That's a good idea! Professor Yau nodded, but then asked another question, "What are you going to do with those scientists in Taiwan?" Have you thought about this question? ”
"It's a nuisance, but if you really want to solve it, it's not a big deal!" Junxin frowned slightly and said, "In recent years, due to the influence of the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the confrontation between Taiwan and the mainland is no longer what it was when it was first founded. I think the academic exchanges between the two sides of the strait should not have much impact, after all, in the final analysis, everyone is Chinese! Moreover, in recent years, Taiwan has not been without scholars visiting the mainland, so this problem is only a little tricky, but it is not impossible to solve. ”
"Looks like you've got an idea!" Professor Yau Chengtong said with a smile.
"There is no way, but there is such a bad idea!" Jun Xin said with the corners of his mouth slanted.
"Tell me about it!"
"The venue is located at Mizuki University!" Junxin said with a smile.
Professor Yau Chengtong said clearly: "You are fighting the idea of Tsinghua University in Taiwan, right?" ”
"Taiwan's scientific community, Taiwan's Tsinghua University should be able to hold the bull's ear, and Taiwan's Tsinghua University and my alma mater, BJ Mizuki University, have the same roots, and the so-called Mizuki Tsinghua University means this!" Junxin nodded in acknowledgement, "I think it will be a very good choice to hold this conference in our school." ”
"I think there's another reason!" Professor Yau Chengtong said with a smile, "Not to mention the research of famous scientists Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao and others, let's just say that those people whose potential is still very high and their achievements are also very high but their reputation is not so great, such as Li Yuanzhe and others, these people go to your Shuimu University, but it is a lot of wealth!" ”
"Isn't that good?" Junxin generously admitted: "It is estimated that after I graduate from the school, I should still stay at Mizuki University to engage in research, and the overall quality improvement of Mizuki University is also beneficial to me." ”
"Oh? Have you decided to return to your home country for development? Professor Qiu asked solemnly.
"Hmm!" Junxin nodded and said, "Although the school didn't say it explicitly, but it has hinted at me many times openly and secretly, as long as I go back, I can complete all the procedures within a year!" ”
After a pause, Junxin continued: "Besides, you must know that although I am a mathematician by profession, I have studied not only mathematics, but also physics, chemistry and other subjects, many of which I have dabbled in. I have a lab of my own running in the country, and the school even gave me the most favorable conditions, so there is no reason why I should not go back! ”
"But the level at home and abroad is really not at the same level, don't you think about it?" Professor Yau asked.
"I actually study a lot in the direction of theory, and in all seriousness, I am a theoretical researcher, and the conditions of experimentation and work are not the key to me. Moreover, now the contact information has also begun to be convenient, and you can communicate with your peers at any time if you have any questions, and you are not isolated from the circle. Junxin said with a smile.
Yau Chengtong sighed and said: "Originally, I still wanted to recommend you to Harvard or Stanford University, where I used to work, with your ability, I am afraid that you want to do research without teaching like Ding Zhaozhong before Mit, and you can easily get a professorship in either of these two schools, Teacher Chen also said that he can recommend you to go to Berkeley, California or Los Angeles to do research, and now it seems that you have your own plan." ”
Jun Xin laughed and said, "It's hard for you two to bother me, in fact, if I really want to stay, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is the best choice." It's not just familiar, it's closely related to my research. But I really don't have any intention of staying abroad. ”
"It's up to you, as long as you still give me the paper efficiently, everything else depends on you!"
