"Then as you said, let's call it the Youth Light Class!"
"I think it's feasible," Lu Zhou smiled, "But I really don't think there's much I can do to help."
After all, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has so many resources. It is a no-brainer to just graduate from it.
"Professor Tang gave this to you!"
Compared to JJTU, where the whole school was celebrating, Lu Zhou, who was elected as an academician of both academies, was much calmer.
If it had been before, Lu Zhou probably wouldn't have been able to react so quickly.
"Then I would like to thank you, Senior Lu, on behalf of the junior students of Jin University."
Office of several institutes.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter, so I'll take care of the general counsel."
"Please come in."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the office.
Jinling University.
What's more, this is also a good thing for JJTU students.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
"I don't think it's appropriate."
This is also for their own good.
Looking at Lu Zhou who said nothing, Lin Yuxiang blinked and asked.
Principal Xu nodded and said: "We understand what you said, so we started with the pilot class. If the pilot is successful, we will promote it. If it is not successful, we will improve it!"
"It's not an award, I really want to ask you for a favor," President Xu waved his hand, looked at Lu Zhou solemnly and continued, "Study at the undergraduate level is already too far away for me, and it is also too far away for the experts in our teaching and research group. , not to mention that our conditions back then were different from now, and neither our concepts nor our experiences have kept up with the times.”
Principal Xu: "Then what do you think it should be called better?"
After recovering from his memories, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile and put the thermos cup in his hand.
Principal Xu said with a smile: "How come there is nothing to help? Senior Lu is a role model for countless students of our Jinda University! I heard that the seat you used to sit in the library was occupied by students. To this day, people still often go there to worship!”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You are too polite. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know."
"It's hard to say. We have so many young talents at Jinta University. Who knows whether there will be a scholar more powerful than me in the future?" Lu Zhou smiled, stood up from the office chair, and faced the sofa. He made a gesture of invitation, "Please sit down."
Therefore, when he received the notification, not to mention the feeling of surprise, for Lu Zhou himself there was no unexpected emotion, but more of a well-deserved calmness.
After making a somewhat exaggerated joke, Principal Xu looked at Lu Zhou and smiled, then continued, "Here's the thing. Some time ago, the Ministry of Education came to inspect JNU, and I had a chat with the head of the Ministry of Education about undergraduate education. We believe that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the current teaching system. Therefore, we plan to open a key class in several key majors in the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics as a pilot for undergraduate education reform, focusing on Cultivate academic talents!”
Regarding Principal Xu's statement, Lu Zhou nodded in agreement: "Undergraduate education must be taken seriously. The first time a scholar comes into contact with the concept of academics is as an undergraduate. However, we should not overdo it. For the sake of Reform after reform, in the end, there is no benefit except increasing the course load for students.”
Lu Zhou has always respected his mentor who led him to the path of mathematics. Although he did not help him academically, he pointed out the way for him in other areas. A direction that helped me avoid many detours when I was young.
"No, please help me record the gifts, organize them on an Excel sheet and send them to my email. If the value exceeds 500 yuan, please return it. You can find a place to store the others. They will take up too much space in the corner. ”
In order to deal with the students' papers, Lu Zhou rarely took time out of his busy schedule to come here. However, when he first walked into the office, he was startled by the pile of things piled in the corner.
"You're welcome."
After listening to Lu Zhou's words, Principal Xu was silent for a while.
If that's the case, then this gift is too hardcore, right
"Professor, you are back. The people who have come to see you in the past few days have almost crossed the threshold of our office."
Hearing this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
The door of the office opened and Academician Xu, the president of JJTU, walked in with a smile.
"Regarding this batch of reform pilot classes, I hope you can serve as the general consultant of our teaching and research group. This will not take up too much of your time. It only requires you to provide some valuable opinions."
After looking at the half-human-high cactus and thinking for a long time, Lin Yuxiang finally remembered who sent it to him, clapped his hands, and said suddenly, "This, this is from Professor Zhang from the Institute of Physics, and he asked me to give it to you. With a blessing, I hope your academic career will be smooth and everlasting like a cactus."
Lin Yuxiang came over with a pot of freshly boiled tea and poured it for the two of them.
The support he can get from the academic community in this country and the resources he can mobilize are far beyond what ordinary academicians can match.
Lu Zhou coughed dryly and said, "Hey, don't do this. It's okay for juniors and juniors to call me senior. You are already two rounds older than me, so don't make this joke?"
"Haha, how can that be possible! Although it is not a very troublesome matter, your work is related to the future of our country. If your work is delayed because of the Jinda incident, then I have to express my gratitude to the people of the whole country. Apologize!"
Principal Xu took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said with a smile: "Haha, that's right... By the way, speaking of this pilot class, we plan to name these reform pilot classes the Nobel Light Class. What do you think? Sample?"
It's only been a week since I came back. Why has my office turned into a storage room
Principal Xu's face immediately showed a smile.
He knew many professors at JJTU, but the one who missed him the most was probably the retired Old Tang.
"I'm here to interrupt this time. Firstly, I want to congratulate you on being elected as an academician of the two houses of Congress. Secondly, there is something I want to ask for your opinion on."
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said.
Ignoring Assistant Lin, Lu Zhou couldn't help but ask as he looked at the half-human-high cactus closest to him and placed against the wall.
"Yes!" Assistant Lin raised his hand and saluted playfully. Assistant Lin blinked and said, "Put it on me."
After returning to his desk and sitting down, Lu Zhou opened the drawer, took out a stack of papers, opened the first one and reviewed it carefully. Although it is only a graduation thesis for master's students, he has always had high requirements for his students.
"I hope that these young people we train can plant a seed in their hearts. After they germinate, they can become truly useful talents in society, science, civilization, and the future!"
Lu Zhou coughed dryly and said, "You're giving me an award. It was all performance art done by students."
Putting down the pen he just picked up, Lu Zhou spoke.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down on the sofa in the office.
There is nothing wrong with this blessing, but why does it always feel weird...
"The Nobel Prize is a goal worthy of young scholars, but it is not the end of academics. Since we intend to use these reform pilot classes as a base for cultivating academic talents, I do not recommend that our students go to "Instill the idea of these skills," after a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "After all, we don't choose to become scholars because of Nobel or Fields. Before working in this direction, we should still have There are other original intentions that are more worthy of cherishing.”
Lin Yuxiang, who was sitting at the door, saw Lu Zhou, his eyes suddenly lit up, he pushed away his chair and stood up.
"Oh?" Principal Xu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Why?"
After that, he patted his thigh, nodded and said.
"Congratulations, Academician Lu! From now on, you will be the youngest academician in the history of our JJTU. It is estimated that no one will be able to break this record within a hundred years."
"...I'll thank Professor Zhang for me next time I see him," Lu Zhou coughed lightly and suddenly noticed the thermos cup on the table. He reached out to pick it up and took a look, "Where did this come from?"
However, even after he figured this out, Lu Zhou didn't say much.
"Strong youth will make the country strong. Whether a country's young scholars are positive or not is related to the next fifty years of the country and even the nation, and even the more distant future."
This little thing is just a nod to him. Jinda has helped him a lot in the academic field and outside of it over the years, so it is right to do something to help his alma mater.
"Didn't he give me his own?"
But now, he understood immediately Principal Xu's real intention of asking him to be named as the consultant. It's probably because the Ministry of Education hasn't fully negotiated it yet, or the talks haven't gone smoothly. It would be easier for the central government to put your name on it.
"There are probably no two young scholars today who have such a broad mind as Mr. Wang."
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Where did you get this?"
Looking at the mist rising on the tea cup, Principal Xu paused and said with a smile.
He always felt like he had seen this thing somewhere before, but for a while he couldn't remember where it was. But Lin Yuxiang, who was standing next to him, immediately remembered it and said with a smile.
After all, this lifelong honorary title does not bring him anything more than those scholars who have worked hard for more than ten years and finally become academicians.
"Therefore, I propose that this pilot class be called the Light of Youth!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou finally remembered where he had seen this thing and suddenly started sweating.
If you don’t talk much, you have to publish one article in one area, right
"As you said, how can anyone give away a used cup? But the cup he gave you seems to be the same type as the cup he used himself," Lin Yuxiang pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Professor Tang When I handed the cup to me, I also asked me to give you a message, asking you to pay more attention to taking care of your health, drink less instant coffee at ordinary times, and drink more hot water when you are thirsty."
"Want me to get you a cup of hot water?"
Therefore, every New Year and holidays, Lu Zhou would bring some gifts to visit the elderly regardless of whether he was free or not.
