"Okay, I won't bother with your research, my companions and I are visiting the Institute for Advanced Study, and I'm going to meet them." After chatting, Jun confidently and satisfactorily submitted his farewell to Professor Faltins.

"Oh, okay!" Professor Faltins didn't make much of a fuss, but asked, "Do you need me to show you around?" ”

"I don't think I need to bother you!" Junxin shook his head and said. It would be nice to have a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study to show you around, but Junxin didn't want to bother Professor Faltings too much. What's more, he was already very familiar with this place.

"That's fine!" Professor Faltings nodded and said, "Anyway, I guess you'll be staying at the Institute for Advanced Studies for a long time in the future, so there's no problem with taking you on a tour whenever you want." ”

"Me?"

"Hehe, I'm sure it's not that difficult for you to take a math course at the undergraduate level, so we sincerely invite you to join the afternoon tea discussion held every Wednesday." Professor Faltins said to Junxin with a smile.

The so-called Wednesday afternoon tea discussion refers to the academic discussion between professors of the mathematics department. This is the most distinctive seminar of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. Every Wednesday, professors bring their wives to discuss cutting-edge academic issues. The wives made tea nearby. The format of the seminar was good, and it was basically all professors, with no student participation.

Princeton's Department of Mathematics also hosts a regular faculty and student symposium in which students ask questions about cutting-edge math problems, which the professors answer or discuss with the students.

The general activities of these two seminars are naturally the higher style of the former, but since its establishment, Junxin has not heard of any students being invited to participate in the seminar.

"Thank you for the invitation, I think I'll be very interested." Junxin replied happily.

"Jun, it was your talent that got this invitation. Remember, every Wednesday afternoon, when that time comes, we'll talk about other issues together. ”

"Well, I remember!" Junxin nodded, said goodbye to Faltins, and walked out of Professor Faltins' office.

"Hey, why are you still on the second floor?" As soon as he went out, Junxin saw several people gathered in the corridor on the second floor, not knowing what they were talking about.

"You're out?" After seeing Junxin emerge from Professor Faltins' office, the exchange students gathered in the hallway stopped talking.

"Well, I had something to talk to Professor Faltins, and I discussed some academic issues by the way." Junxin replied, "But now that the discussion is over, have you finished visiting?" ”

Everyone nodded in affirmation.

"Now that we're done visiting, it's time for us to go back!" Junxin said. Now that they've finished visiting, Junxin doesn't want them to wait any longer.

"Aren't you visiting?" Chen Xiuli asked.

"There is time, and this place will not come in the future." Jun Xin replied nonchalantly.

"Alright then, since you said so, let's go back first!" As the person in charge, Chen Xiuli decisively gave the order to "retreat".

"Shouldn't we get together? Have a dinner or something? Someone suggested.

"That's a good idea, I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"And me!"

……

"Since everybody agrees, let's go!" Chen Xiuli made a decision with a little hesitation.

"I know there's a Chinese restaurant here, I don't know how it tastes, let's go and have a look?" Junxin proposed. Although I haven't seen those more familiar restaurants yet, after all, I have walked around the town, so I still saw a few familiar Chinese restaurants, so I made such a proposal.

"Just check it out?"

So a group of people slaughtered the town. This caused the townspeople to be surprised. Usually, they only occasionally see one or two Chinese come out, where can they see a large group of more than a dozen people coming at once. There were even some simple town residents who actually took out their cameras and took pictures, which made Junxin feel a burst of amusement.

Half an hour later, several people came to the restaurant that Junxin said, and after a little inquiry, they knew that the owner was from Xiamen, Fujian, the native of Chinese mainland, and Chen Xiuli was from the same province, which was half a fellow countryman.

After a full meal, the crowd dispersed here, and some suggested that they go to the town and take a few people away; Someone suggested going back to school, and a few more people were taken away. After two or three strokes, only Junxin and Gu Mengxue were left.

"Do you want to go back to school or—" Junxin asked.

"Let's go back to school first, you know, I'm in trouble in China, and I have to rely on real kung fu to resolve it, so I don't have much time to go shopping and go to school."

"Nice offer!" In fact, Junxin doesn't like shopping very much, and thinks it's a waste of time. If you have this time, you might as well go back to school and do some research.

"I remember that there was a Gested Oriental Library in the University, and I heard that Mr. Hu Shi, a famous writer and professor during the Republic of China, had served as the director of this Oriental Library.

"How do you know so clearly? You only came yesterday, right? ”

"Does that have anything to do with when I'm coming? Actually, I knew it when I was in China, and you must know that our Mizuki University is not without Princeton alumni. Junxin replied indifferently.

"Professor Lu told you?" Gu Mengxue asked.

"If you want to go to any university, you have to know about it, and if you want to come to Princeton, you will naturally know about it." Junxin did not answer Gu Mengxue directly, but said a plausible answer.

"Then let's go!" Gu Mengxue nodded and said.

"Hmm!" Junxin nodded.

The Oriental Library was founded by a man named Gested, who invited Hu Shi to serve as the first director of the library. The Oriental Library contains a large number of oriental documents, including engraving and printing books from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even unique books from the Song Dynasty, as well as a large number of local chronicles and other documents in China, which is an important material for the study of Chinese culture and ancient culture. It is also an important resource library of Chinese Studies at Princeton University and the Wilson School of International Relations.

The Gested Oriental Library contains about 100,000 books, of which 40,000 are collector's "treasure books", which no other country can compare with except China and Japan.

Among the books in the collection of the Gested Oriental Library, there is a relatively complete collection of ancient Chinese medical and pharmaceutical books, and the Ming edition books are one of the major features. And in this, Hu Shi played a huge role.
