At first, a small number of students in Tsinghua School were directly recruited by the Student Affairs Office in Beijing, and the rest were recruited by the provincial "student envoys" in each province, and after the preliminary examination in each province, they were sent to Beijing for the re-examination. For example, Su Province has the largest amount of compensation and can send 26 people, while Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have less compensation and only 2.

With the relocation of the school to Tsinghua Park, the enrollment policy was changed to the local preliminary examination of each province, and only after passing the results can you come to Beijing to participate in the re-examination. Purely in terms of the source of students, the comprehensive quality is still very high.

Later, the official opening of the school, before the Manchu government collapsed, changed the school from "Youmei Yiye Hall" to "Tsinghua Royal School". After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, I felt that the name was a bit outrageous, so I removed the word "royal", which gave rise to the name "Tsinghua School".

However, it is precisely because of this humiliating history that in addition to some students who worship foreign charm, most students choose to study hard, hoping that they will be ashamed in the future.

Early in the morning, Cheng Nuo and Cai Yuanpei came to Qinghua School and were welcomed by teachers and students.

Especially Cheng Nuo himself, he was surrounded by three layers of students, in this school where half of the teachers are foreigners, they suffered too many white eyes, Cheng Nuo's birth made a breath of relief for them.

"Professor Cheng, I have a mathematical paper here about non-zero integer ideals in class field theory, in which I have some trouble here in assignment theory, can you help me take a look?"

"Professor Cheng, our students have set up an amateur club called 'Mathematical Research Society', can you write an inscription for us?"

"Professor Cheng, don't you know that after I took your paper to Professor Yang of our "Advanced Algebra" that day, he no longer had nostrils to look at us, you are my idol."

"Professor Cheng, I heard that you graduated from Harvard University, and I am ready to follow your example, and go to Harvard to study after graduating from higher disciplines, can you give me some advice before you go?"

"Professor Cheng, are you married, I have a sister at home......"

To put it mildly, Cheng Nuo finally squeezed out of the crowd and sat under the auditorium, waiting for the lecture to begin.

Unexpectedly, the theme of Cai Yuanpei's speech was to call on students not to worship foreign countries after going abroad.

"Students from our country who study in other countries do not suffer from the inferiority of their scientific degree, and suffer from their imitation too much and their characteristics will disappear. The so-called characteristics are the characteristics that are influenced by geography, history, family, and society. If I can preserve my nature, I will absorb and digest the thoughts, speeches, and scholarship of foreign countries, and I will not assimilate them......"

Cheng Nuo listened to it, and couldn't help but applaud, he could only say that he was worthy of Cai Gong, and he looked at it for a hundred years at a glance.

Some of the students listened and nodded their heads from time to time in agreement. But some students didn't care, and even had the word "no anger" clearly written on their faces.

When the speech was over, the student stood up directly: "Mr. Cai, I think there is something wrong with your speech just now, the strength of the European and American countries has been taught in the past half century, and the traditional knowledge has long lagged behind the times, so we should completely abandon it and devote ourselves to the embrace of advanced Western thought, but you let us be on guard, which is too conservative." ”

After listening to this, some students at the bottom also coaxed: "This is obviously like the old times, worried about this and afraid of that, how can you run fast with your little feet wrapped." ”

"Yes, it's too conservative, we don't worship foreign flattery, but worship strong and flattering."

The more I talk about it below, the more chaotic it becomes, and even if it was originally from Cheng Nuo's side, his thoughts seemed to be a little wavering.

The original purpose of establishing Tsinghua School in the United States was originally to **** the students' minds, and foreigners were too late to be happy when they saw this scene, and they secretly rubbed it to make it bad.

In fact, this problem is not only in later generations, but also seems to be more serious in the current Republic of China.

Taking Christmas as an example, when Shanghai was still occupied by Japanese devils, every time this festival Shanghai people were frantically celebrating, spending so much that the newspapers of Wang's puppet government could not read, and the "Declaration" directly posted: Last night was the Christmas night of Jesus, and the entire Shanghai pleasure place was crazy about it, and the carnival people forgot what era they were in.

Of course, the people can't be blamed entirely, after all, the gap in national strength is so great that there is no need for a well-known appearance.

Faced with this problem, Cai Yuanpei did not panic at all, but took Cheng Nuo as an example, roughly describing the process of studying, serving the country, and becoming famous, saying that as long as he studies hard, Chinese people are no worse than outsiders, and they can still walk in the forefront of science.

After praising him, Cheng Nuo was a little embarrassed, but he also understood why he called him over, in addition to getting acquainted with more contacts, he also wanted to use his experience to inspire these students who were about to study in the United States.

After all, if one more can be returned, the domestic scientific research process may take one more step forward.

The atmosphere gradually pushed to a climax, and finally Cheng Nuo was surrounded by students and came to the stage and asked him to say a few words.

He was unprepared for this, but looking at the eager eyes of the students, he encouraged them with his own example.

"Many years ago, like the students here, I also embarked on the road to study in a foreign country with Gengzi indemnity, and we were discriminated against at that time, and many foreign teachers thought that we could not keep up with their learning pace, but then we slapped them hard with practical actions. American universities generally have a four-year undergraduate program, and we can complete it in three or even two years; Generally, for a two- to three-year master's program, we can get a degree in one year or even nine months; As for the PhD program that requires at least three years, we can also complete it in one year, and we are also their top universities. ”

"Some people will say that we will only die studying, but the reality is that they are wrong again, although some are not ashamed, but the mathematical problems that have plagued the mathematical community for more than half a century, we have also solved them, proving that our brains are not stupider than them, not only learn well, but also use them well......"

It is necessary to take heavy medicine to treat stubborn diseases, and Cheng Nuo is indeed not easy to find a typical example at this time, and he still can't help but feel a little hot under his boasting, but looking at the enthusiastic reactions of the students, it must be able to work for at least two years.

As for the back, it depends on personal creation.

is coming, Cheng Nuo is also thinking, it seems that he has not yet made due actions in terms of public opinion.

Although there is now a radio, but there are no radio and television stations at home and abroad, and there is not even a shadow of practical civilian radios.

As for the inventor of the TV picture tube, Farnsworth is still a small Zhengtai, and after the invention of television, the future is also miserable, and it seems that he can take it over in advance.

If you find a way to secretly export your country's ideas, you don't believe that foreigners will not worship foreigners.

Public opinion is a high ground, and if you don't occupy it, someone will occupy it for you.

Thinking about it like this, Cheng Nuo's originally excited heart immediately calmed down after his speech, there are too many things to do in the future.

A young man interrupted Cheng Nuo's thoughts: "Hello Professor Cheng, I am Ye Qisun from Tsinghua University, I am very interested in mathematics, can you please take a look at a paper I have written?" ”
