"Mr. Junxin, the academic report starts at half past nine in the morning and ends at twelve o'clock at noon, a total of two and a half hours, and then the Chinese students in Harvard University will hold a reception banquet for you, I hope you can participate!" Cao Huaidong, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat in front, couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly diverted the conversation between Shi Wanxiong and Junxin, and said a topic that Junxin was very concerned about.

"Chinese students? What's going on? Junxin looked at Cao Huaidong in front of him and asked.

"That's right, we mentioned the question about you when we were doing publicity, and it was in the name of Mizuki University, but as a result, some international students from Mizuki University, who were studying at Harvard University, took the initiative to find Professor Yau Chengtong and asked to participate in the reception of you, and the teacher agreed. Later, this scope was expanded, including international students from other universities in China, who also came over, and everyone knew that you had achieved something honorable and asked to participate, and finally the teacher decided to hold a welcome banquet for you at noon, and then you and we will go together! Cao Huaidong explained.

"Oh, that's no problem!" Junxin replied with a smile, at this time, most of the people who can study in Harvard and other world-famous universities are the first batch of graduate students sent by China after the reform and opening up, and after they return to China, most of them have become backbones in various fields ten years later, and Junxin is naturally very interested in contacting them.

"What schools are there?" Junxin asked.

"There are a lot of schools, but they are mainly concentrated in the universities along the coast of China, among which the main ones are students from Shuimu University, Fudan University, BJ University, SH Jiaotong University and Nankai University, and a few of us are from Xiamen University and Sun Yat-sen University of FJ and GD, and there are relatively few international students from inland universities, only one is from Xi'an Jiaotong University, and two are from Wuhan University."

"There are not many schools, and I'm afraid there are no fewer people, right?" Junxin asked.

"There are probably more than fifty, and that's counting a few teachers and a few Chinese professors." Zhou Peineng, who had been concentrating on driving, added, "There are also several professors and students from Taiwan who have also asked to come over, but Professor Qiu asked me to ask what you mean." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that!" At this moment, Junxin is planning to plan the World Chinese Scientists Conference, how can he let go of this opportunity that can be used to contact scientists in Taiwan.

Shi Wanxiong said with a smile: "I think so, so I suggested that the teacher agree, but the teacher still insisted that we ask your opinion." ”

Jun Xin shook his head and said, "This kind of thing can be decided by Professor Qiu himself, there is no need to ask my opinion." Having said that, Jun Xin still feels very happy, because this represents the importance that Professor Yau Chengtong values himself.

"China has just begun to implement an open policy, so our group of students can go abroad and get in touch with the world. It is not easy to get together so many compatriots at Harvard. Junxin said with emotion, Princeton, where he is located, was originally a pocket university, and there were no more than 10,000 faculty members and students in it, of course, there were relatively few Chinese in the school, so it was not necessarily possible to meet one, let alone so many people get together. The last time the largest number of people was a gathering before sending President Zhu back to China, but it was only about a dozen people.

"By the way, how do you calculate your reception fees?" Junxin then asked.

"Because your identity and status happen to be inversely proportional, the school decided not to come forward to receive you, but gave enough funds, and provided a sum of funds accounting for about 90% of the total amount of reception, and the remaining 10% was made together by all of us according to the proportion of the school and the number of people. Of course, you students from Mizuki University make up the largest proportion. Cao Huaidong said.

"I'll do the rest of the 10%!" Junxin said after thinking about it.

Cao Huaidong was stunned and asked, "Is this again...?" ”

"If you study abroad, you have to pay your own tuition, and if you break the bank, it will cause some pressure on your life." Seeing that Cao Huaidong wanted to speak, Jun Xin naturally understood what he wanted to say, and without waiting for him to speak, he continued, "I know, you are different from me, I am an exchange student, after the school provides tuition, we only need to provide a little living expenses to save a little bit of no problem, although you are graduate students, although you have a tutor to pay you a salary or subsidy, but after all, you still have to bear your own tuition, and the reception can be there, but I will pay the extra part of the reception fee." ”

"You're coming out? Where did you get the money? Shi Wanxiong asked.

"I've already received a full scholarship to Princeton University, and I have a balance on top of tuition. In addition, the school's basketball team hired me as the head coach of training and offensive tactics, and the annual salary was $100,000, so I was not short of money. Junxin said with a smile.

"Well, even if you have money, we can't take your money!" Cao Huaidong said categorically, "This is a piece of the heart of our own students studying at Harvard University. ”

"But..."

"You probably don't know. Even at Harvard University, we Chinese students are often discriminated against by white people in the United States or Europe, and many of them do not recognize Chinese education, thinking that our education is very backward and has no great achievements. ”

"Of course, our Chinese students actually do much better than those in the United States, because this will not make foreigners look down on us. But we can feel the visceral contempt of foreigners, and in fact they think we are inferior to them, the simplest example of which is that China does not have any world-class achievements that can be achieved. This is true in the past, although there are Chinese professors such as Yang Zhenning, Lee Tsung-dao, Yau Chengtong and other Chinese professors who can also be called the world's top, but their nationality is not Chinese after all, in other words, they are not Chinese after all, so their achievements cannot change foreigners' perception of our Chinese. Until you show up. ”

Cao Huaidong said with emotion: "Don't talk about the far, let's talk about the near." The three of us studied mathematics with Professor Yau, but not all three of us liked topology. So we actually had thoughts about other professors, but most of the professors who received our applications would look at us with colored glasses, and many even thought that we had intellectual problems and would not accept our application, so we could only study with Professor Qiu, not to mention that the three of us were actually not the strongest students in our school? The grievances and sadness of this make most of our international students can only enjoy themselves, looking at the faces of others, and sometimes even having to give a Q, all kinds of things are too unbearable to look at. ”

"But your appearance is enough to break the colored glasses of this group of white professors, whether it is the Modell conjecture, or the four-dimensional Pangjialai conjecture not long ago, it can be said that it is the most cutting-edge research results in the world, even if the white mathematicians are not necessarily capable of solving it, this is enough to inspire people, we came spontaneously, not only to receive you, in fact, more to get your encouragement and affirmation, because we are all living and learning under the ill will and contempt of others, We need someone who can inspire us to appear, a "hero" to appear. ”

Hearing this, Junxin was completely silent, looking out of the car window without saying a word, although his face was not wavering, but his heart was up and down, and it was difficult to calm down.
