December 10 is also the anniversary of Nobel's death.
The awards ceremony was held at the Karoline Institute.
Most of the guests present came from the recommendation list of the four major Nobel Prize awarding institutions, namely the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Swedish Academy of Letters and the Nobel Foundation.
In addition, members of the Swedish royal family attend the meeting every year, and they invite envoys abroad. The remaining spots will be reserved for the media, activists and students.
The awards ceremony will first award the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, followed by Physiology or Medicine.
Jiang Fuyue, Xie Dingyuan, and another medical award winner, Albrecht Kossel, were arranged to sit together.
Before the ceremony, the three spoke in low voices in English.
"...Oh! So you are a couple? It's incredible!" Kossel is already in his fifties this year, but he looks only in his forties, and there is no generation gap when chatting with two young people.
On the contrary, the language is humorous and the manner is a gentleman, giving people a feeling of being polite and spring breeze.
Jiang Fuyue had a good impression of him.
Xie Dingyuan: "Maybe they will become husband and wife soon."
Cossel: "That must be exciting, I wish you success."
"Thanks."
After getting acquainted with each other, they began to chat professionally.
A lot of technical terms came out of the three people's mouths, and the eyes of the reporters sitting in the back row pricking up their ears and eavesdropping were blindfolded.
Then, find the professional translator on the side and ask: "What are they talking about?"
Translation: "Should be something academic because... uh... I don't understand very well either."
"..."
Stockholm local time, 5:00 p.m. on the 10th, and 11:00 p.m. China time on the 10th. More than a thousand guests were seated, and the awards ceremony officially began.
According to regulations, each Nobel Laureate can bring no more than 19 family members to the award ceremony.
So, everyone from the Xie family and the Han family came.
They were arranged to sit in the middle, and they could see Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan sitting in the first row at a glance.
Han Yunru was so nervous that she drank water for the Nth time: "Is it about to start?"
Jiang Da scratched his head: "It should be soon..." In fact, he couldn't understand a word, and the radio was all in foreign languages, but it didn't matter what he said, the most important thing was to see his daughter standing on the podium with his own eyes.
Fu Wanxiu pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose to lengthen her neck enough to see more clearly.
Xie Zhendong was still calm, and reminded with a light cough: "The physics and chemistry awards must be awarded first, and Ayuan and Yueyue are not here yet. What are you in a hurry for?"
"Let me see if the two children are okay?"
"..."
Brother Jiang and Han Heng had already set up their cameras and pointed them at the stage.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to appear on such a grand occasion in my lifetime," Han Heng rubbed his hands, "It's worth it."
Jiang Chenxing's eyes are also bright, this may be the closest he has come to science!
This year's Physics Prize was awarded to two scientists, one from the Institute of Cosmic Rays in Country R, and the other from Queen's University in Kingston, Country C.
Jiang Fuyue: "...they discovered the change in the properties of neutrinos through oscillation experiments, thus proving that neutrinos have mass, which reversed the world's understanding of the internal structure of matter and the view of the universe."
Cossel casually asked about their achievements, and Jiang Fuyue happened to have read their papers, so she answered casually.
"Oh my god!" exclaimed Cossel, "Jiang, you seem to be good at physics too?"
Jiang Fuyue: "Just a little bit."
Xie Dingyuan snickered aside.
Well, it is indeed "billion points".
When it comes time to hand out the chemistry prizes—
Cossel couldn't help asking casually again.
Jiang Fuyue: "Thomas Lindahl, Paul Modric, and Aziz Sancar, the achievements of the three of them are mainly in the research of gene repair mechanism. They reveal how cells repair damaged cells at the molecular level. Genes and protect genetic information…”
Kossel: "?" Why do I feel like she is here to accept the physics and chemistry prizes
Xie Dingyuan continued to chuckle.
In the end, Jiang Fuyue nudged her gently with her elbow, "... calm down, there are so many reporters watching."
Xie Dingyuan: "Who is not restrained? Huh?"
The tail rises.
"Cough... Didn't Cosell ask this, so I'll just talk about it casually."
Xie Dingyuan couldn't help laughing again.
China time, at twelve o'clock in the morning on the 11th, the Physiology or Medicine Awards finally ushered in.
Han Yunru: "Here we come! We come!"
Jiang Da wanted to stand up, but fortunately he held back.
Han Qishan clenched the crutch in his hand excitedly.
Fu Wanxiu and Xie Zhendong held each other's hand so tightly that they never held it so tightly when they swore their marriage oaths.
Xie Dingyuan, Jiang Fuyue, and Kossel came to the stage together, and amidst a burst of solemn symphony, each received the gold medal and certificate from the Swedish king.
Of course, there is also a considerable bonus that will be divided equally into the accounts of the three people.
In the middle of Jiang Fuyue's station, Xie Dingyuan on the left and Kessel on the right, the three of them held the gold medals and certificates and smiled towards all the audience and media cameras.
There was thunderous applause.
