Since he was going to be on CCTV, he had to be careful.
After Academician Xu and Dean Qin left, Lu Zhou sighed in relief. He loosened his tie and took out his phone from his pocket, ready to ask for help.
But the question was, who should I ask?
Should I ask Weibo?
But I feel like I'll be beaten to death by the audience if I ask this kind of "enviable" question.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou had an idea.
After Xiao Ai leveled up from level one to level two, he hadn't been able to test what changes it had undergone. I'll take this opportunity to see how smart this guy is.
[Xiao Ai, help me think of a 500-word emotional acceptance speech for Person of the Year!]
After a while.
Xiao Ai: [∠ (? ∠) _???]
Lu Zhou: "…"
MDZZ！
As expected, I was too naive to expect this guy to help me.
Lu Zhou sighed and put his phone back in his pocket.
It seems like I have to rely on myself.
…
The award ceremony officially began.
As the finale of this award ceremony and the representative of the graduate school of the year, his speech was the last.
The first to speak was the undergraduate group's annual person of the year.
Lu Zhou wrote his speech behind the scenes while giving an appreciative look.
This year's juniors were as outstanding as ever, not at all inferior to last year.
In the computer science department, there was still a genius who had written a top thesis during the undergraduate level, and a genius from the chemistry department who had been ranked first in his grade for three years and had won many prizes in the Challenge Cup and other competitions. The two of them were evenly matched.
The mathematics department might have been sucked away by Lu Zhou. Last year, Lu Zhou dominated the annual person of the year award ceremony, but this year, there was no one that could be nominated. The opportunity was given to the automation department.
The physics department was also part of the science department. Even if the undergraduate students had the opportunity to participate in scientific research, it was difficult for them to make any big achievements in the frontier. However, after all, the physics department was the ace department, so there was no shortage of spots. They just had to nominate a genius fourth-year student.
Soon after, the undergraduate award ceremony was over, and it was the master's group turn. The powerful physics department began to shine, and they were tied with the engineering department.
Unsurprisingly, Senior Brother Qian was also standing on the podium.
As one of Professor Lee Yong-eun's subordinates, his professional knowledge and scientific research experience in the field of carbon nanomaterials exceeded many PhD students. His SCI cumulative impact factor was 9. Based on the average impact factor of first grade materials science journals, he had published at least three first grade theses during his master's degree.
The honor of the Person of the Year and the Special Scholarship should be given to him!
Soon, it was Lu Zhou's turn.
When he stood on the podium, even the background music behind him changed.
On the big screen behind him, his glory was slowly displayed.
[Winner of the 15th Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award, winner of the top international number theory award, Cole Prize in Number Theory, Zhou's theorem, Twin prime number theorem, Polignac-Lu theorem …]
Each and every one of those dazzling medals shone with a brilliance that ordinary people couldn't reach.
As he appeared on the stage, the honors of the previous winners were overshadowed for a moment.
Lu Zhou took the microphone from the broadcasting teacher and stood on the podium again. He looked at the audience and sighed.
Whether it was his mentality, or the mentality of his seniors and juniors, they were all different from a year ago.
From their gazes, he could feel it.
In fact, when he occasionally chatted on WeChat, he heard from Brother Fei that there was a legend called "God Lu" on the University of Jin Ling campus.
It only took him two years to complete his undergraduate studies and one year to complete his master's studies. At the same time, he received an offer from Princeton and achieved achievements that countless people of his age could only look up to.
The students worshipped Lu Zhou, who was about to "ascend" and become an "immortal," so much so that they didn't set up a memorial tablet for him, put two boxes of yogurt, lit a cigarette, and prayed to God Lu for his blessings …
Of course, maybe someone actually did this before?
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Lu Zhou smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"I would like to thank the professors and teachers who taught me knowledge. I would like to thank the school for giving me this honor. I would also like to thank the school leaders and the audience …
"I'm honored to stand on this podium again!
"I have a lot of things to say about mathematics, just like the things I've talked about countless times at academic conferences. But standing here, I don't want to talk about mathematics, I want to talk about my university.
"Among you, many of you may have just entered the campus of a university with the expectation and curiosity you had when you were in high school. You're planning to do something before your passion is extinguished.
"There are also some sophomores and juniors who might be complaining that they can't go home early. They might be chased by their supervisors or student council superiors."
Laughter came from the audience. Obviously, they were surprised that "God Lu" was so down to earth.
Lu Zhou also smiled. It seemed like he guessed correctly.
Dean Qin, who was sitting in the row below the stage, coughed and gave him a frantic look, reminding him that he was in front of the CCTV cameras.
Lu Zhou responded with a reassuring look, cleared his throat, and continued to speak.
"There are also people like me who are about to leave the campus."
The commotion in the audience quieted down.
It was dead silent.
The venue was unprecedentedly quiet.
Lu Zhou gulped and smirked. He then spoke in a non-sensational tone.
"At the end of the summer of '14, I stayed up until the next morning in the computer room of my school and handed the last baton to my comrade. He didn't let me down and handed in the final answer sheet perfectly.
"In October of the same year, I brought back the Higher Education Society Cup from Beijing, which symbolized the first place in the country. Thinking back to my university days, it was the first time I really came into contact with scientific research … "
Lu Zhou talked about the semi-scientific competition to Zhou's conjecture. He talked about his not-so-successful startup, his carbon nanomaterials research project, and his inspiration at the Princeton conference …
Lu Zhou spoke for a long time, so long that it was already past the time limit.
However, no one reminded him, and no one was drowsy from his speech.
The pairs of eyes in the audience stared at him, waiting for him to continue talking about life experiences that they had never experienced before …
In the end, he summarized his work in the latter half of the year with two understated sentences.
"At the end of the summer of 2015, I was at the CERN headquarters with Professor Lu and my brother Yan. We represented the China LHCb cooperation group and contributed to the LHCb international cooperation group.
"In October and December of the same year, I won the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize and the Cole Number Theory Prize for the twin prime conjecture."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and smiled.
"I don't have much to say about my learning experience. Maybe the auntie in the library knows better than me. But when it comes to attitude towards university life, I hope my personal experience can give you a little insight.
"Always have a passion for life and always be interested in the world around you.
"Discover your hobbies and find what you're good at. If possible, make it your career and pour your passion into it."
"Not all of you can be like me, a scholar or a researcher, standing on an international stage. The university itself is not for this purpose. It is just a platform for you to discover yourself and realize the value of your life.
"Whether it is to practice your GPA in the library, or to practice your eloquence in the student union, or even to fall in love."
Lu Zhou felt like Dean Qin was looking at him again. He thought that he had finished what he wanted to say, so he ended his speech with a sentence about his hopes and blessings for his juniors.
"I hope that you will be able to gain something from your university life in the future. The four years of your life will not be wasted."
"Thank you!"
Lu Zhou bowed slightly.
The venue went silent for half a second.
