Naturally, this scene could not escape the eyes of reporters.
Although it has gotten dark early in Northern Europe, it is far from bedtime yet.
Thousands of people write to the Nobel Prize Foundation every year to apply for a spot at the gala, even though the odds of being chosen are no different than winning the lottery jackpot.
Perhaps, this is the taste of victory
Soon, the first course arrived, a bottle of red wine without a label.
Hearing this question, Academician Staffan smiled and said in a humorous tone: "Many people have asked me this question. It is said that the designer of the city hall originally planned to paint this place blue to set off Lake Mälaren. The lake view, but after it was finally built, everyone found that the red bricks looked more solemn.”
"Congratulations, young scholar, I have been awarding awards for so many years, and you are the youngest among them."
After pouring a glass for Lu Zhou and himself into the goblet, Academician Staffan smiled and introduced, "Funi, French Grand Cru Small Farmer Champagne, is characterized by mellowness and sweetness. In order to satisfy more than a thousand people, For the supply, the Nobel Foundation specially signed a contract for a manor.”
Carrying red lanterns in their hands, they stood outside the Stockholm City Hall and stood in a dark formation along the street.
I saw rows of long tables crowded with people, which was even more crowded than the venue of the report meeting.
"Complete" or not, the Nobel Prize has been held here for more than a century. For this ancient ritual in academia, not only people in academia are interested, but people outside academia are also interested.
If there is any difference from the Crafford Award Ceremony, it is probably that it was crowded.
Maybe a little.
After opening the cork, the dense bubbles were stretched like a string of thin lines, extending from the bottom of the bottle to the mouth of the bottle, lasting so long that it seemed like they could keep popping up. In addition to the elegant floral and fruity aroma, the aroma also carries the aroma of toasted oak barrels.
As usual, all winners and guests invited to the ceremony will move to the Blue Room of Stockholm City Hall to attend the famous Nobel Dinner.
nervous
Focusing the camera on the crowd gathered outside Stockholm City Hall, the CTV reporter faced the camera and said in an enthusiastic voice.
When many local citizens of Stockholm are walking, they will subconsciously walk to the shores of Lake Mälaren and look up at the red brick building from a distance.
Academician Staffan smiled and said: "From the perspective of design drawings, this is the theory."
International student brother: "It depends on the situation. Every year at this time, the outside of Stockholm City Hall is very lively, but this year it's just particularly lively."
On this point alone, even the Fields Medal is inferior by half a point.
"Hello, sir, are you an international student?"
After sitting down under the reception of the organizer, Lu Zhou looked around the blue hall.
From a distance, it looks like a parade and a festival.
Holding Lu Zhou's right hand and shaking it, Carl Gustav smiled and said.
Lu Zhou teased: "In other words, the Blue Hall has not been completed yet?"
The young man coughed slightly, straightened his expression, and continued.
There are also local overseas Chinese and international students.
All the guests stood up to pay tribute.
I jerked off out of habit.
But now it seems that the grand occasion at that time was just a preview of today.
"On the night of the Nobel Prize Award, many local people, overseas Chinese, and Chinese students gathered outside the Stockholm City Hall. They held red lanterns in their hands. They hoped to pay tribute to Chinese scholars in this special way. Lu Zhou sends his warmest and most sincere blessings."
But no matter what, at this moment, it has become a foregone conclusion.
Just as Academician Staffan described, the wine that enters the throat is exceptionally sweet and unforgettable.
And it lasts forever…
Looking at the clear wine, Lu Zhou smiled: "You guys really know how to enjoy it."
Amid thunderous applause, Lu Zhou walked steadily onto the podium.
After the award ceremony.
"Let's interview them and see what they think at this moment!"
Excluding those who are extreme, for most people living in foreign countries, no one can better empathize with the achievements of their fellow citizens.
Out of curiosity, many local citizens also joined in.
Nonsense, you still want to say this
Because the number of people gathered here today is much larger than that day.
But I can no longer feel it now.
"Of course, apart from these, what touched me the most was that I saw the progress and development of Chinese academic circles from him."
When they met the review committee's eyes for a brief moment, Academician Klass smiled at him, Academician Orlov nodded to him, Ms. Linse had an expressionless face, and Academician Brzezinski...maybe looked a little unhappy
"Talents in the new era are growing, and perhaps they are still lacking now. But in time, I believe that not only Professor Lu, but also more scholars from China will step onto this international stage and make our voices heard. !”
The guy in the down jacket nodded: "Yes."
The atmosphere in the Blue Hall was lively, and the atmosphere outside the Blue Hall was no less exciting.
Thirteen hundred people ate at the same time. When all the guests were seated, everyone was almost shoulder to shoulder. It is said that the width of the dining space per person here is only 40 centimeters, but Lu Zhou feels that the real situation may be more serious than imagined.
As the highest honor in the scientific community, this is also the greatest praise for a scholar in the academic world and even in the world.
As she spoke, she caught a passerby who looked younger and had a Chinese face, and asked in a nice voice.
"It's not just enjoyment, it's also respect," Academician Staffan smiled and raised his glass, "Cheers."
…
Under the gaze of pairs of eyes and the cameras of media reporters from all over the world, Lu Zhou received the award certificate and the shining golden medal from the hands of King Carl XVI Gustaf.
The younger brother smiled heartily: "Well, my biggest feeling is that after seeing Professor Lu, I finally understood the distance between myself and the Nobel Prize."
If anyone is happier than Lu Zhou and his family, then it is undoubtedly the local Chinese community.
Looking at the brick-red building next to the lake, Lu Zhou, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly said, "Actually, I wanted to ask the question the last time I came here."
What the Nobel Prize can bring is far beyond the nine million kroner prize itself.
Lu Zhou looked around and said casually: "Why is this place called the Blue Hall? I don't feel that any place here looks bluer at all."
Obviously, even now, there are still considerable differences within the Nobel Prize in Chemistry review committee.
As early as October, when the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Review Committee announced the list of winners for the Chemistry Prize, the entire Chinese community in Stockholm held a celebration.
"Is this place always so busy on December 10th in previous years?"
Lu Zhou clinked glasses with him: "Cheers!"
…
The reporter asked with a smile: "How do you feel about Professor Lu Zhou winning the Nobel Prize?"
Excited
Academician Staffan said kindly: "What do you want to ask? Maybe I can answer it for you."
Applause resounded throughout the Stockholm Concert Hall again.
Lu Zhou nodded politely, smiled and said, "Thank you, I can guarantee that you will get younger and younger in the future."
The reporter had an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
Karl XVI smiled and said: "Haha, I hope so. I wish our science will always be young!"
Absolutely.
