Chapter 237: Reason to Go Back
In fact, in later generations, no matter how high Junxin's status is, it will not be possible to establish such a huge organization through the tandem of overseas students, although there is already a formal official association in later generations. What gives Junxin great confidence is that in this era, those who can be admitted to the international student quota in various universities are the top talents in each discipline of each school, and they have considerable influence and even followers in the disciplines of their respective schools, which are those student leaders in the Republic of China.
With that out of the way, the following conversation becomes very simple. As mentioned earlier, Junxin has a very special status among this group of students who go abroad.
It stands to reason that Junxin is just an exchange student, and he is a relatively good undergraduate. But among the people here who can be admitted to Harvard University, which one is not very good, if this is based on this alone, in fact, Junxin is just entering the eyes of these people.
But in fact, Junxin is a person who has achieved world-class significant results in his undergraduate years, and it can be said that even what he has done in his undergraduate years has exceeded what some people can do in a lifetime. From this point of view, their attitude towards Junxin is more or less mixed with admiration and a little jealousy.
But precisely because Junxin cut through the thorns in the scientific community, their situation abroad is relatively slightly better, at least no one will make such an extremely unpleasant statement to doubt the intelligence of Chinese people in person. From this point of view, everyone is more or less grateful to Junxin.
Complex emotions have caused them to have a complicated attitude towards Junxin, but at least everyone wants to be able to chat with Junxin and say a few words, so there are still a lot of people gathered next to Junxin. So Junxin stayed in the restaurant for more than three hours after eating before he was able to leave.
"Are you really going to go back to China like this?" On the way back, Professor Yau Chengtong, who was almost speechless at the banquet, suddenly asked.
"Well, although I thought about it for a long time, I finally thought it might be better to return to China!" Junxin nodded and said.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid the current foundation in China is not suitable for you to continue to do research!"
Jun Xin smiled, nodded and said, "I know this, I have always known it. "Actually, I also had a change when Professor Feverman and Professor Mirno kept me, but in the end I decided to return to China for development." ”
"Why?"
"That was more than half a month ago!" Junxin did not answer Professor Yau's question, but talked about his memories like a self-talker, "At that time, I had just finished the third volume, which is now named "The Mizuki-Princeton Guide to Mathematics", and one day Professor Mirno had just finished his mathematical analysis course, and he took me to his office, I thought it was just a simple mathematical exchange, after all, I had encountered this kind of thing several times. But when I saw Professor Feverman, who had just been appointed head of Princeton's mathematics department in his office, I had a rough idea of what might happen. ”
Sure enough, while communicating with me, Professor Feverman and Professor Mirno repeatedly tested my future plans. However, although they were the best mathematicians of their time, they were not professional negotiators, so I was quick to explain what they meant. ”
"They wanted me to stay, to stay at Princeton, to award me a Ph.D., to provide me with the best research conditions, to provide the best technical support. To be honest, it's really hard not to be tempted by such conditions, and I, too, have little resistance to such conditions. ”
"Then why didn't you say yes?" In fact, Professor Yau Chengtong did not say a word, Princeton is willing to give Junxin, and Harvard University is not willing to give it to him, as long as Junxin is willing to stay. In fact, it is impossible for the administrator of any university, as long as his brain is still relatively normal, to reject a student who has the potential to become a world-class mathematician like Grothendieck and Hilbert, except for schools that teach the liberal arts alone.
"Professor, you should know that scientists are actually a group of people who are very strange in the eyes of ordinary people. In their eyes, the highest level always seems to be research. Although Pasteur said that science has no borders, scientists have their own homeland. But it has to be said that it was a right thing for Pasteur to put science in front. Most of the time, scientists do care more about their own research than about their homeland, which is vividly reflected in European and American scholars. But there are always some people who will put their country first, and their personal research will be subordinated to the needs of the country. ”
"I know that with my current achievements, I can easily get a satisfactory and easy position in any university or research institute abroad. But you must know that I am a disciple of Hua Lao, and it is impossible for me to stay abroad. ”
"Strictly speaking, Hua Lao didn't actually teach me anything, nor did he teach me, not the kind of teacher who preaches, teaches, and solves doubts in the real sense, but what Hua Lao taught me is his inner spirit."
Speaking of this, Junxin smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am not as noble as Hua Lao, when New China was just established, the mathematics of New China was created from the blue wisps of the road to today's grand view, to be honest, I don't have that ability." I don't have to work my own after returning to China, and there is something Mizuki University can solve if there is enough. The only drawback is that it is far away from the world mathematics center, and I can't communicate with my peers in time. ”
"So, I'm going back to China just to live up to the teachers and friends who are looking forward to my return at Mizuki University, that's all."
Professor Yau Chengtong drove silently, and after a long time, he sighed softly and said, "Okay, I probably understand what you mean, it seems that you have made up your mind to return to China for development." I won't persuade you anymore, I believe that even if you change places, you can still make a wonderful establishment. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, Professor!" Junxin nodded indifferently to express his gratitude.
"I look forward to seeing more about your research at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton."
"Yes professor, definitely!" Junxin's eyes became more and more determined in reply.
