He spoke into the microphone with a steady voice filled with excitement.
After a brief moment of silence…
Bang bang bang bang—
[Sincerity, simplicity and majesty, encourage learning and practice.]
But this does not mean that your efforts and contributions are meaningless.
Looking at the lines of text on the screen, the audience in the audience made small comments and exclamations.
Thinking back on all the hard work I have put in over the past six months...
"Thanks!"
And those achievements may not be unattainable.
Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "It's not bad."
The people in the audience were all listening attentively, especially the juniors and juniors who had just entered the campus less than half a year ago and had not yet returned home after taking the exam. They even took out their little notebooks and were meticulous. Remember every word he said.
"Sincere, simple and majestic, inspiring to learn and practice."
Amidst the applause, Professor Tang smiled kindly, gave up the microphone to Lu Zhou who came on stage, said "Come on" to the side, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the audience and behind the scenes.
After a pause, Professor Tang smiled kindly and continued: "Time is limited, so I won't go into details one by one. If I can give a fair evaluation, his scientific research achievements have exceeded those of most master's students and even doctoral students." level. The most valuable thing is that he has matured to the point where he can find and solve topics that interest him."
"Bah bang bang!"
It is true that my success is due to luck, systematic help, and many other reasons.
On the big screen in the center of the stage, a text was presented in the form of PPT summarizing the honors of the winners.
"And he who did this was only twenty years old."
"Thanks."
Professor Tang walked onto the stage, and the host respectfully helped him straighten the microphone.
This academic leader coughed slightly and spoke slowly in a different tone than in previous classes.
"I would like to encourage you all!"
Seeing his great achievements being displayed in front of everyone for the juniors and seniors to admire together, Lu Zhou, who was standing behind the scenes, still felt a little happy.
The applause was like pattering raindrops, which gradually turned into a downpour.
Even without the assistance of the system, if I could calm down and be as focused as I am now, I might not have the chance to stand on this podium.
Seeing that the principal's speech was over, the host announced the start of the next session.
"I would like to thank Jinda for giving me this opportunity to stand here, and I would also like to thank all the students for giving me this opportunity to speak. Of course, I am most grateful to my parents who raised me, and to all the teachers who taught me …”
Thinking back to the countless days and nights of fighting...
With the last thank you, the audience burst into warm applause.
Lu Zhou had only met this big boss a few times, but he was deeply impressed by him.
The red curtain opened, and a line of domineering calligraphy was printed in the center of the big screen.
Professor Tang, standing next to him with his hands behind his back, asked with a smile: "Are you nervous?"
The first person to speak was an old man wearing glasses.
"As for the campus assistant, the credit does not lie with me alone, but with the strength of the team..."
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
His figure looked a little thin, but his straight back was as straight as a flagpole.
The awards ceremony is divided into three parts. First, the introducer (mentor) speaks, then the winners speak, and finally there is the award ceremony and group photo.
The only flaw is that there are no photos next to these glory.
The venue gradually became quiet.
Standing behind the scenes, Lu Zhou was wearing a suit, holding a speech in his hand, his palms slightly sweaty.
Principal Xu's speech was very much like that of a scientific researcher. He said it exactly as he said it, and there was no empty talk that would make people sleepy. In just five minutes, everything that should be summarized was explained clearly.
Professor Tang said with a smile: "As long as it's okay, there will be many opportunities for you to go on stage to give reports in the future. Seize this kind of training opportunity as much as a preview, which will be good for your future development."
"Snap, snap, snap!"
"As for the study of the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers and the proof of Zhou's conjecture, I prefer to describe it as an accident. Just like many sudden inspirations, but I may have caught it... "
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and suppressed his heart that was about to beat out of his chest.
He is none other than the president of Jinling University, Academician Xu Jianxu!
From academics to entrepreneurship, from scientific research thinking to team spirit. Lu Zhou summed up his college life in the past six months, using concise language, incorporating sincere feelings, and telling it from beginning to end based on the actual situation.
Facing the auditorium with thunderous applause, Lu Zhou bowed slightly, nodded to the host, and then walked behind the scenes.
"The road ahead is long, and there are still many challenges in the distance. Whether it is focusing on using mathematical tools to solve practical problems or challenging for the Fields Medal. I believe that he will have a place in the future palace of mathematics. "
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said seriously: "I understand."
He looked at the faces in the audience who were the same age as himself, and the pairs of eyes staring at him.
A dance of "Burning Youth" ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue. After bowing deeply to all the teachers and students, the girls from the art academy gracefully left the stage under the guidance of the melody.
"...Finally, please allow me to conclude by quoting our school motto."
But all this will definitely not come so quickly, nor will it be so smooth. It may take ten to twenty years, or even longer, to hone. Maybe as the perseverance fades, it will be lost in the crowd, just like most people who have tried hard but failed...
There were at least two thousand people sitting in the audience, not only undergraduates from various colleges, but also graduate students and even doctoral students, as well as leaders at all levels of the college and school. There were even cameras from Jinling TV Station and Suzhou TV Station next to the venue, broadcasting the awards ceremony live.
Any one of these alone would be enough for an ordinary person to brag about for a lifetime.
[Lu Zhou, male, is in the 2013 Mathematics Class 1 of the Department of Mathematics. Published a total of 13 SCI journals, covering the fields of mathematics, computer science, and computational materials science. He used innovative methods to solve the world-class mathematical problem "Zhou's Conjecture". He was invited to participate in the Princeton Mathematics Academic Exchange Conference in February 2015 and the 2014 National Mathematics Conference. Winner of the "Higher Education Society Cup" in the undergraduate group of the modeling competition, and founder of the college student entrepreneurship project "Campus Assistant".]
In fact, the latter is the key.
"A paper on functional analysis attracted the attention of the Courant Institute of Mathematics in New York. A paper provided new ideas for the computational materials community, and the birth of Zhou's theorem... I feel that if I continue to talk, it may be... Let’s repeat what’s on the PPT.”
Guessing that the time was almost up, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and restrained his true feelings.
Under the school motto, there is the Great Wall and the red flag fluttering in the wind.
Before becoming the president, he was an academician of the Information Technology Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has undertaken more than 20 projects such as the National 973 Major Basic Research Program and the National 863 Program, and has made great contributions to China's information technology and network security.
"Functional analysis is my main field of study. My first paper was inspired by Professor Tang. Professor Li Rongen's scientific research team cultivated my scientific research thinking in using mathematical tools to solve practical problems. For me, It’s a valuable experience… ”
And Lu Zhou, standing on the award podium, felt as if he was in the rain.
It would be even more perfect if his talent and handsomeness could be displayed in front of all the teachers and students in the school!
That is the motto of Jinling University.
"If I had to choose the one who impressed me the most among all the students I have taught in the past thirty years, it would probably be Lu Zhou."
