No matter how chagrined Chen Lao, the agenda on the podium continued. After Zhao Depei introduced the bonus money of the Huaqing Award, the atmosphere in the venue was pushed to a climax.
The old scholars who came to the conference because of Huaqing's face, sorted out their attire and sat up straight, their eyes full of interest and anticipation. I heard that the first Huaqing Award will be announced at today's ceremony. The winner, the four prizes are 8 million yuan, everyone's eyes are burning, maybe the prize will fall on them.
Zhao Depei saw the reaction of the people below, and his eyes couldn't help showing a smile. It turned out that in the project book he drafted, the amount of the Huaqing Award was not so much. With Li Zheng's insistence, the amount was only raised to 2 million yuan. .
According to Li Zheng, the Huaqing Award is an award for freshmen. Although Huaqing is one of the top universities in the country, its influence is still much weaker than that of the country. The National Science Awards are official, state-backed first awards in the scientific research community. The selection scope of the Huaqing Award overlaps with it, which will inevitably lead people to compare the two.
And the current Huaqing Prize has nothing to do with national scientists except for the bonuses. Obviously, Li Zheng's idea is correct.
"Now, Mr. Li Zheng, the head of our Ninth Biological Research Laboratory of Huaqing University, who is also the sponsor of our Huaqing Award, announces the winners of the first Huaqing Award for us."
Zhao Depei smiled and handed the microphone to Li Zheng.
"Li Zheng, who is Li Zheng?"
"You guys who are engaged in literature really don't care about current affairs at all. Last year, he appeared on the news network. That Li Zheng Square in Doman, Africa, is him."
"The sponsor of the Huaqing Award, how old is he!"
"Age is not a measure of a genius."
The two men who had met Li Zheng at the door of the venue looked at each other and swallowed, "Pharaoh, do you know Li Zheng?"
"Now I know..." Old Wang stared blankly at the dignified young man on the stage. His face turned red, and he sighed in his heart. It turns out that besides reincarnation, there is another kind of person who can get by himself at such a young age. All respect.
Li Zheng took the microphone, and everyone in the venue focused on this strange young man.
Li Zheng's lips curled slightly, "The purpose of the Huaqing Award is to help Huaguo's scientific research. Now is an era of competition, and reform and opening up means that Huaguo will go to the international track and race with all countries in the world. The competition between countries is in the final analysis the competition of comprehensive national strength.”
"For the same iron mine, the daily output of the United States is ten times that of ours. Why? Because their equipment and technology are more advanced than ours. This is the liberation of productivity brought about by science! Science is the primary productive force! I hope The establishment of the Huaqing Award can live up to its original intention and help Huaguo scientific research! Contribute its strength to the liberation of Huaguo's productive forces."
Facing the CCTV camera, facing the eyes of countless people in the auditorium, Li Zheng had no stage fright at all. He tried to convey the experience summed up in the next 30 years by the stumbling and stumbling of the Chinese nation to the Chinese people who are now ignorant. He said word by word. very clear and powerful.
On the rostrum, the vice premier of the central government put his hand on the rim of the white ceramic cup and did not let go for a long time. He originally wanted to take a sip of water, but he didn't have time to pick up the teacup. Hearing Li Zheng's words, the hand holding the teacup stopped in place.
Is this really just an eighteen-year-old young man? Is this really just a scholar? His understanding of the nature of international competition is like that of a truly senior politician. Looking at this young face, he even saw the shadow of his old leader in him.
The Vice Premier took a deep look at Li Zheng and sipped the water in the cup.
When the news was broadcast, Li Zheng didn't cut out a word of this part of the scene. The scene he appeared in the news was similar to that of the vice premier, which is almost impossible in the political culture of China.
But it just happened. I heard that this is the meaning of the person. At the establishment ceremony of the Huaqing Award, he decided not to cut a word of the sponsor's words. The competition belonging to the country requires the participation of all Chinese people. They must understand and understand! Those were the words of that person.
"Now, I announce the winners of the first Huaqing Award."
"The winner of the Huaqing Prize in Physics and Chemistry, Professor Zhu Chengzhi. Professor Zhu Chengzhi's new materials obtained by chemical means have enabled my country to successfully break the monopoly of synthetic steel materials in developed countries, saving a lot of capital for my country's industrial development, and synthetic The material export has gained a lot of foreign exchange. Congratulations to Professor Zhu Chengzhi.”
"Lao Zhu, congratulations, two million!" Someone said with a smile to the old man who thought he had gray hair.
"Huaqing Prize winner in biomedicine, Professor Meng Jiayin. Professor Meng is an authoritative figure in the field of biomedicine in my country. He devoted his life to the field of biological research in Huaguo, and established the biological sciences of Huaguo together with the older generation of biologists. The academic system has laid a good foundation for the growth of biomedical scholars in the future. Professor Meng is well-deserved for the Huaqing Award."
The panelists went through a sparring over the winner of the biomedical award. As we all know, the winner of the Nobel Prize cannot be a deceased person. Many international and domestic awards have tacitly continued this rule. At the beginning of the selection, no one took Meng Lao into consideration.
However, compared with physics and chemistry, which are supported by the state, the presence of biomedicine in the domestic scientific research community is too weak, and there are almost no achievements. Even though Li Zheng knew in his heart the true value of artemisinin from Ms. Tu in the 1970s, he was not a judge and had no right to interfere in the selection process. The scientific research community in the 1980s did not realize the value of this research at all.
So someone proposed Meng Jiayin. After all, this award is called the Huaqing Award, which award in the world can be said to be absolutely fair, so everyone discussed that the research results of the scholar within 12 months of death can be included in the award selection.
As Li Zheng said, Meng Jiayin deserves the Huaqing Award.
Different from the noise when the physics prize was announced, when Li Zheng uttered the words Meng Jiayin, the venue was quiet for a moment, and the scholars in the front row couldn't help but look sad. The founder, everyone always maintains a respect.
"The winner of the Huaqing Prize for Writers, Yuan Zhengying."
As soon as Yuan Zhengying uttered the words, the writers and literati in the venue burst into a commotion.
"Yuan Zhengying? Who is Yuan Zhengying? What works does he have?"
"I don't know, Lao Yang, have you heard of it?"
"Yuan Zhengying? It can't be that Yuan Zhengying, right? The one who writes the news."
"News? How can writers get writers? Isn't that a joke!"
"That's right! The difference between journalism and literature and art is not a little bit. How did those judges choose!"
The venue was full of backlash. Fortunately, when the Deputy Prime Minister announced the awards, he had to leave the venue because of something wrong. Otherwise, the scene would have been ugly.
The person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the rostrum has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he doesn't know anything about news or literature and art. He just needs to be a smiling clay sculpture. Now he only thinks about one thing.
What about the physics prize? Both chemistry and biology have been awarded, how come the physics prize is last? Why should the writers rank ahead of physics? When this meeting is over, he must give a good response to the organizing committee.
The person in charge of the education department is not very good-looking. In their opinion, the Huaqing Award is an award established by Huaqing University, which is similar to the direct establishment of the award by their education department. , what are these people doing! If there's something that can't be set up, the ceremony is over, let's talk about it.
Contrary to the head of the education department, the face of the propaganda department leader and the journalists present is more complicated. Yuan Zhengying, of course they know the name, the first pen in China.
He has been fighting with a pen all his life, using his pen to expose a lot of social injustice, and when the reform and opening up situation was not clear, Yuan Zhengying also continued to use his personal influence to appeal, which was rare among journalists at that time. Those who dare to express themselves correctly. He has always firmly believed that it is the eternal mission of journalists to open up people's wisdom.
Journalism is a liberal arts category in college, and no one will object to that. But in social reality, the literary world and the press are like two parallel lines that do not intersect, and no one takes the other to play.
China has been advocating literature since ancient times, and Li Bai and Du Fu, whom the Chinese admired, are all representatives of the literati. The number of literary awards of all kinds is almost the same as all the awards in scientific research combined.
But no writer has ever awarded it to a journalist. It seems that all writers tacitly exclude news writers from the system. Journalists Want to Win Awards? Okay, you can do a news award yourself, everyone thinks so.
And today, the first Huaqing Prize Literature Award was actually awarded to Yuan Zhengying? A journalist? This caused all the literati to be in an uproar.
"It's not fair!"
"What kind of literary award is this?"
This kind of sound came one after another under the stage.
Li Zheng didn't mean to argue with them, but continued: "Now I invite all the winners to come to the stage. Mr. Zhao Depei, President of Huaqing University, and Mr. Liang Chaohua, Minister of National Education, will present the awards to you."
Is this the award
The head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the scholars in the front row of scientific research are not calm.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"What about the Physics Prize? The Physics Prize hasn't been awarded yet!"
