Junxin could see that Gu Lao was very happy at this time. Otherwise, Gu Lao's personality would not easily ridicule these world-renowned scientists. So although Jun Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he just laughed.

"How many days are you here?" Gu Lao asked again.

Junxin replied, "I'm now an assistant coach with the Princeton basketball team, and I'm probably going to be at Penn for the next few days. There are still two days left in the race, and it is estimated that it will be another day before returning after the race. There should be four or five more days left. ”

"That's a good feeling, remember to come here to see me often." Gu Lao smiled and nodded and said, "Tell me about the current situation of Shuimu University, this time, I haven't been back for almost forty years, half a lifetime!" ”

Junxin nodded and began to talk about the current situation in the mainland. He naturally knew that Elder Gu wanted to know not only the situation of Shuimu University, but also the situation in Chinese mainland.

In 1979, because his fifth brother Gu Yurui was going to the mainland to give lectures, he asked someone to take the initiative to resign from the National Assembly of the Republic of China, but due to various misunderstandings, he was finally revoked by the government of the Republic of China as a representative of the National Congress and an academician of the Academia Sinica, and was unable to enter Taiwan for a time.

Now Gu Lao lives in the United States, but he pays attention to the situation in the mainland all the year round. He paid more attention to his alma mater, otherwise he would not have known for the first time that Mizuki University had produced a mathematician who solved the Modell conjecture.

Junxin said in detail, from his own point of view, he told in detail a series of people and things he encountered after entering Mizuki University, and from Mizuki University, he described in detail some major events and some characters in Chinese mainland, and Gu Lao sighed when he listened.

In fact, Gu Lao had been to the mainland a few years ago. In August 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Gu returned to Chinese mainland with their daughter to visit, had a long talk with ******, and pleaded for intercession with their cousin Wang Kunlun, who was in prison at the time. Therefore, it is not that he is ignorant of the situation on the mainland, on the contrary, because of the rare opportunity, he looks at the mainland very carefully and seriously. However, due to the passage of time, more than eight years is enough to make his originally vague image even more blurry.

"It turns out that Xiaojun, you are also a JS person, hehe, the two of us are fellow countrymen!" Hearing Junxin say that he was from JS Huai'an, Gu Lao was very happy. Gu Lao is a native of JS Wuxi, and he is indeed a fellow villager with Junxin.

"Huai'an is a good place, outstanding people. The Grand Canal runs through it, and the thoroughfare of the seven provinces is no joke. During the Qing Dynasty, when the sea was not opened, there were many talents? Gu Lao said with a sigh, he knows the situation in his hometown well, "Papers, both Wu Chengen, Liu He's "Journey to the West", "The Travels of the Old Remnant" and other world literary chapters. There are also great people in the world like Premier Zhou, who are the same through the ages. On martial arts, there were Huaiyin Han Xin in ancient times, and there are historical heroes like Tianpei in recent times, as well as strange women like Liang Hongyu, a generation of women's heroes. After a pause, Gu Lao suddenly spoke again, "Maybe in the future, you will have to add a world great scientist, you Junxin!" ”

Junxin suddenly said with a smile: "The predecessors are masters, lead by example, where can Junxin not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth to compare with them?" It is the expectation of the people in the future who will live up to the people of his hometown, Junxin is already sincerely afraid, Gu Lao, you are too famous. ”

Gu Lao smiled and said: "Except for the last sentence, I also said it when I talked to the prime minister back then. Your rhetoric is really similar to that of the Prime Minister. Are you all so humble from Huai'an? ”

Jun Xin couldn't answer this sentence, and said after a long time: "I grew up in an orphanage, and my director was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War who followed the prime minister, and later in order not to cause trouble to the country, the prime minister arranged for him to become the director of an orphanage in his hometown. He often told us about the prime minister when we were young, big and small things did not fall behind, it can be said that our group of children grew up in the story of the prime minister since childhood, and many times their requirements for themselves will inevitably be stricter, and they are not all modest, or this has become a habit for me! ”

Gu Lao was silent for a while, and said: "China has a prime minister, the country is really lucky, a conversation with him eight years ago, this is something I will never forget!" ”

"However, JS has really produced a lot of talents in the history of modern science, in addition to Hua Lao and you, many celebrities in modern Chinese history are from JS, such as Ms. Wu Chien-shiung, who has verified the non-conservation law of Li and Yang with experiments, is also a JS person, and Mr. Wang Ganchang, an outstanding alumnus of our Shuimu University, a province is the real place where humanities gather."

"Hehe, don't you say I really don't know, think about it, JS has indeed produced a lot of talents over the years!" Gu Lao laughed. Then Gu Lao began to comment on the scientists who have made outstanding achievements in the scientific community over the years, and talked a lot about their habits and hobbies by the way.

Junxin naturally knew that Gu Lao was deliberately promoting him, so he listened very carefully. Scientists are one of the most special groups in human history. Many scientists only have simple judgments about good and bad, and the rest is all about the study of scientific projects and topics. This is also the reason why many Chinese scientists have become American citizens.

During the Second World War, no matter what, the United States helped China in the War of Resistance, so some scientists at that time simply thought that the United States was good, plus it could provide excellent advanced technology and equipment, and many people had joined the United States before or after, although Junxin didn't like it very much, but it was understandable in comparison, so he wouldn't look at them with any colored glasses, so he still attached great importance to Gu Lao's obvious promotion of Junxin, and listened very seriously.

Finally, after Gu Lao finished speaking, he said to Jun Xin in a serious tone: "A long time ago, when I was a student in the secondary department of Tsinghua School, my teacher once said such a sentence to me, he said: Yiqiao (Gu Lao's words), look at this firewood, although the firewood is burned, but the fire remains. You're very talented among the students I teach, so I hope that my burnt-out firewood will help you light the fire. ”

"The fire is passed on from generation to generation. Now that the era of our generation has passed, the future of Chinese science requires you to continue to work hard, generation after generation. ”

"I used to think about what the word teacher means. After being a student, a teacher, a professor, a school manager, and a deputy minister of education, I finally came up with an answer after thinking about it for so many years: a teacher is a teacher who hopes to surpass oneself and teach a person who can surpass one's disciples. Gu Lao looked at Jun Xin with a solemn expression and said, "Frankly speaking, I still admire Luo Geng very much, his achievements completely surpass his teacher Brother Qinglai, and he has also taught a disciple like you who will surpass his future achievements in the future, you don't let down his care and teaching to you!" ”

"Yes, Old Gu, I will continue to work hard!"
