"I was recommended to Qingmu when I was a sophomore in high school, but I still insisted on taking classes in my senior year. Many students didn't understand. Qin Ke, you were admitted to a top school, why did you come back to school?"
"At Princeton University, Professor Wiles, who proved Fermat's Last Theorem, also asked me, Qin Ke, why are you continuing your freshman year? Isn't this a waste of time?"
"Why do many people think this is a 'waste of time' and doing 'superfluous things'?"
"There is a very famous story that I believe everyone has heard of. A rich man saw a fisherman lying on the beach and basking in the sun. He found it incredible and difficult to understand. In his eyes, the weather was very good and it was very suitable to go fishing.
When fishing, you should fish more and make more money. The fisherman asked, why am I working so hard to make money? The rich man said, you will become rich, buy a big house, hire many servants, and live a comfortable life, such as
You can put down your work and go to the beach to bask in the sun. The fisherman smiled and said, don't I just put down my work and enjoy the sand and sunshine?"
"Many of us are like the rich man in the story. We have been using our time desperately to work towards the goal of 'being better than others'. We will find it incredible and feel that any behavior that is not in line with the best interests is a waste of time."
"This is understandable, because for most people, the education they receive since childhood is an 'involution' education. The elders around us all tell us, you children, you should cherish your time and get as much as possible to benefit your future life and status.
knowledge to surpass their peers.”
"The ancient sages also told us, 'The book has its own golden house, the book has its own thousand bells of millet, the book has its own beauty like jade', so in our hearts, knowledge has slowly become a tool for pursuing profit, a kind of profit-seeking tool.
Paving stone. Work hard to learn knowledge, get into a good school, and then let yourself be praised by your peers and give your parents a chance to brag. Then when you go to college, you can find a better job in the future and find a young and beautiful wife.
Live a more decent life and become the so-called 'superior person'."
"But is becoming a 'superior person' the end? No, we have become accustomed to such a 'volume' life. There is always a higher goal waiting for us. We keep turning like a gear, constantly moving upward.
Climbing, but we never forget to ask our hearts, what do we want? In addition to material satisfaction, do we also have spiritual satisfaction and self-fulfillment?"
"Knowledge should not just be a tool for profit-seeking, it should be a habit of self-satisfaction, a spiritual necessity that allows us to better understand the world, recognize our self-positioning, and realize the meaning of life."
"The words in books are knowledge, life experiences are knowledge, and even our experience of beauty and happiness is knowledge."
"Everything that satisfies our curiosity and exploration of the unknown is knowledge."
"The process of pursuing knowledge should be intoxicating and joyful."
"For example, we may stay up all night studying the strategy to play a game; we may also stay up late reading a novel; we may even endure mosquitoes all night on the top of a mountain just to capture the most beautiful sunrise.
With morning dew.”
"This is a process in which we pursue knowledge from the bottom of our hearts. Even if it is painful and tiring, we are happy with it."
"I saw many poor mathematicians setting up stalls at the academic lectures at Pudong University. To be honest, I don't recommend devoting everything to academics when you can't even provide food and clothing for your family, but
I also admire them because they live a pure life and they have a true love for mathematics, just like when we were young, we could save money on meals to play games."
"Going back to the question I just asked, my answer to Professor Wiles's question is," Qin Ke looked around at the dark crowd in the audience: "As long as you take life and study seriously, not a day is wasted."
The audience was quiet, and everyone listened carefully to Qin Ke's words. Only Qin Ke's voice echoed in the auditorium of Nuo University.
Many students even started taking notes.
Ning Qingyun was sitting in the front row, looking at her boyfriend who was chatting with her, her eyes sparkling, and she could not hide her admiration.
Whether it is studying or such courage and eloquence, at least she will never be able to achieve it.
"I want to continue my freshman and sophomore years, not just to show off, nor to be a so-called full-level boss showing off my presence in the novice village... I really feel that my knowledge is not enough, and I need to learn two more years in a down-to-earth manner.
Years of basic knowledge.”
"Maybe now I have learned more in depth in mathematics and achieved some results, but I am still only nineteen years old. I still have a lot of life experience, my social experience, and even my knowledge in other subjects.
There are many areas that need to be improved and supplemented.”
"I want to continue to complete them. This feeling of enriching myself and improving myself makes me happy. Therefore, I need to read more, be exposed to different subject knowledge, and broaden my knowledge. I need to learn from the teachers, friends, and elders around me.
Learn the advantages there, thereby constructing your own outlook on life and values, and forming an independent, complete and confident 'self'."
"The world is really big. There is no cliff in the sea of ​​learning and endless knowledge. Even if you spend a lifetime, you can't learn even one ten thousandth of it. I feel particularly deeply about this aspect. When your academic level continues to improve, the more you learn, the more you learn."
If you want to get in touch with more unknowns, you will find that the knowledge you have is very small compared to the truth that is everywhere, so there is no end to learning, and it is really not a routine."
"More importantly, everyone is only nineteen years old once. I don't want my nineteen years to be too hasty, and I don't want the so-called 'skipping a grade' to make me accumulate life experiences when I am nineteen years old."
, the lack of basic knowledge prevented me from fully enjoying every day of my youth, leaving me with regrets in the future.”
"Love, seriousness, and perseverance are the most important prerequisites for doing everything well. The same goes for learning. Therefore, I suggest that everyone, even if you use knowledge as a tool, please have more love for knowledge and more love for your life.
A love that makes us happy."
"Keep in mind that there is no end to learning, be humble, respect knowledge, love life, do everything you like and must do seriously, and then enjoy every day in college, so that after college, at least we will find that we are
Get into college, not get into college!”
"Thank you everyone. I am Qin Ke, resident in No. 501, the boys' dormitory of the Department of Physics. Welcome to communicate with me!"
Qin Ke bowed slightly to the audience, then turned and walked off the podium.
After a brief silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
…
This speech was undoubtedly a success. It is said that the contents of Qin Ke's speech, including "Don't be special, study every subject seriously, and take the exams in every subject" in the principal's office, have been compiled into words.
The file was posted online and caused a strong response among countless college students.
Qin Ke naturally has no time to pay attention to these.
He did see some changes in the school.
In the library, there are many students holding books on the benches next to the school road.
Different from the anxiety and numbness in the past, many people look at books with a bit more leisure and enjoyment.
They will still play games all night long, but they will attend class seriously when it is time to go to class, play seriously when it is time to play, and spend every day in college with care and enjoyment.
Qin Ke's study and life began to return to normal after this speech.
The students of Qingmu University had less of a blind fanaticism for him, but more of a heartfelt respect and support.
When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun went to class, the students would look at them closely but would not disturb them.
When seeing his empty papers, students would come over to discuss some issues with him, some related to study and some to life, but basically no one asked him for help in revising their papers for utilitarian purposes.
…
Time came to the exam week in a blink of an eye. Because there were so many subjects to be tested, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun almost took the exam from morning to night, dealing with different test papers every day, which made them feel like they were back in their senior year of high school.
The weekend dates we had originally planned had to be postponed.
It wasn't until more than a week later that the exam finally came to an end. Qin Ke coaxed and coaxed him to take his little cabbage and enjoy a weekend vacation. He held hands like an ordinary couple, patrolled the streets, watched movies, and drank milk tea.
Eating western food, driving... ahem, there is really no such thing as getting to the hotel.
Qin Ke is still quite conscious of being a celebrity.
And considering Ning Qingyun's little mysophobia, no matter how good a hotel is, it's still not as comfortable as home.
Anyway, the decoration of the small duplex in "Xingguang Mingyuan" has been completed, and the windows are now open for ventilation and odor dispersion. It will be ready to move in after the Spring Festival.
Qin Ke had already laid out a series of plans in advance, so he was very calm and not in a hurry.
After the exam, the school basically went on holiday, but Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were not in a hurry to return to Yuanzhou because Hao Jianchang, the president of the Mathematics Society, personally called:
"Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, congratulations. After collective deliberation and voting by the expert judges, it has been decided to award you the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award in recognition of your outstanding contributions in mathematics. Please attend on time on January 23.
The award ceremony was held at the Guobin Hotel.”
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Qin Ke still felt very pleasantly surprised, and Ning Qingyun was even more confused. She had only vaguely heard some rumors beforehand, but she never thought that she could get this summer together like Qin Ke.
The highest award in the field of mathematics in China.
"What, are you surprised or unexpected? It seems that the leaders of your school also wanted to give you a surprise and did not notify you in advance." Hao Jianchang and Qin Ke have a good relationship, and they were still cheerful after talking about the business.
joke.
Chapter completed!
