233: Worshiping foreign things is a disease! It must be cured!
"Easy, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!"
Li Yinlian's eyes were full of smiles.
With her son being so accomplished, Li Yinlian was naturally happy.
She didn't understand academic conjectures, nor did she understand some online debates and public opinions, but she knew what level a three-hour CCTV exclusive interview was.
Li Yinlian was crystal clear about it.
Li Yinlian also knew very well what this represented!
What's treating everyone to dinner!
Hosting banquets for three days wouldn't be excessive!
.........
Guo Hao stood inside the studio.
"The trend of worshipping foreign things has always been something I personally detest. I know that our current development is still in its initial stage and we need to learn from foreign countries.
This is absolutely correct, even absolutely correct to a certain extent, but learning is about learning technology, learning their learning methods, not about learning everything, and not about worshipping everything.
Finally, I will use a quote from Mr. Lu Xun as a concluding remark: May the youth of China cast off the cold air, just walk upwards, and need not listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things should do them, and those who can speak out should speak out. If you have one part of warmth, emit one part of light, even if it is like a firefly, you can still emit a little light in the darkness, and need not wait for a torch.
Just bury your head and do things, just achieve results. I hope that in the future, domestically, the two words 'studying abroad' will not be overly hyped! Thank you everyone!"
After Guo Hao finished speaking, he bowed deeply towards the camera.
The studio immediately erupted in thunderous applause.
At this moment, the CCTV host standing by also stood up, clapping his hands.
"Great! Well said! Student Guo Hao, your words have directly turned our exclusive interview into your personal speech, but I think your speech is quite excellent!"
"Thank you for the host's praise."
Guo Hao said to the CCTV host with a smile.
Then came answering various questions from the students.
"Guo Hao!"
A student who was selected excitedly held the microphone and shouted, looking at Guo Hao beside him.
"Hello."
Guo Hao smiled slightly and said to the student next to him.
"We are all students, you can just call me Student Guo Hao. May I ask, what is your question?"
"Um, Hao... Student Guo Hao, I want to ask, after the Warings Problem, what is your next research topic? Is it Goldbachs Conjecture??"
The student asked, looking at Guo Hao excitedly.
All the students in the studio were looking at Guo Hao inside the studio with burning eyes at this moment.
This is a good question!
Many people are very concerned about it!
"Well... to be honest, I haven't decided on my next research topic yet, but it should also be in the field of Number Theory or Partial Differential Equation, because these two fields are the areas I am more familiar with and good at.
Perhaps, you can help me think."
Guo Hao smiled and said to the students in front of him.
Many students in the studio laughed.
The following questions were about Guo Hao's private life and other similar topics. Some students also talked about their confusion and asked questions about whether they needed to study abroad.
Guo Hao gave his answers one by one.
The atmosphere in the entire studio was very harmonious.
The CCTV host next to him was responsible for controlling the pace, but he did not interfere too much with Guo Hao's speech output.
Three hours passed quickly.
"Alright, dear audience friends and guests present, today's live exclusive interview with Student Guo Hao has come to an end. Today's interview also allowed us to see the most authentic side of a world-class mathematical genius.
At the same time, the words he said are also worth reflecting upon and savoring."
After a series of concluding remarks, the live broadcast ended.
However, many students surrounded Guo Hao and asked for his autograph.
Guo Hao also readily signed his name on their books.
After doing all this, Guo Hao walked out of the CCTV studio.
As soon as he walked out the door, Guo Hao received a call from his father.
"Guo Hao! Our family is proud of you!"
Guo's Father's tone was very excited.
Guo Hao smiled.
"It's no big deal, just a CCTV interview."
"You can't say that. Such a CCTV exclusive interview, and a live one at that, means that the higher-ups attach great importance to you! Your future is limitless!"
Guo's Father was very emotional.
"It's... alright!"
Guo Hao said with a smile.
For Guo Hao, unlike others, based on his current situation, there are at least three or four confirmed achievements, and in the future, he will enter a very productive period.
Guo Hao truly didn't care much about things like CCTV interviews.
Guo's Father finished speaking and hung up the phone, and then Guo's mother called again.
She told Guo Hao not to get carried away, to stay calm, and to take good care of his health.
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Guo Hao lightly exhaled.
Just then, the CCTV host happened to walk past him.
"A call from your parents?"
The host smiled slightly and asked Guo Hao.
"Mm."
Guo Hao nodded.
"Student Guo Hao is so outstanding, I imagine your parents must be very pleased!"
The host said with a smile.
"It's alright."
Guo Hao nodded.
"I'll be leaving now."
"You're busy."
Guo Hao was about to leave.
He happened to meet President Huai and Peking University's President Wang nearby. Guo Hao cooperated with them to reshoot a special award ceremony, where Guo Hao was awarded a two-million scholarship.
After doing all this, Guo Hao finally hailed a car and left CCTV.
Meanwhile, the clips of Guo Hao's exclusive interview and the matter of the exorbitant two-million scholarship quickly began to spread online. The immense influence affected almost everyone, young and old.
More or less everyone had heard about it.
"Holy cow! Two million!!!! Is studying that profitable??"
"Awesome! Who says our country doesn't value technology? It's just solving some conjecture, and two schools together awarded two million! Two million! If it were me, I feel like I wouldn't have to work for the rest of my life, I could just lie in bed and pass the time!"
"Awesome, awesome. The country still values scientists. It looks like the country is starting to encourage these basic disciplines?"
"Give a thumbs up for the Dragon Country mathematician!"
"Everyone is paying attention to the two million prize money, but isn't anyone paying attention to what Guo Hao said?"
"I noticed it. Guo Hao's speaking ability is truly awesome. I feel like my blood is boiling! That's right! Our Dragon Country has always been following closely behind the Ugly Country.
There's not much wrong with this in itself, after all, we are behind, but to keep doing this, and even treat domestic and foreign academic experts differently, worshipping foreign things, this behavior is indeed problematic!"
"That's right! I used to instinctively feel that something was wrong, even disgusted, but I could never quite articulate why. However, from Guo Hao's speech,
I was truly enlightened! That's right! We haven't properly distinguished between those students who study abroad just for a superficial credential and those who genuinely study technology and are knowledgeable!
We blindly think that students who study abroad are good! This point in itself is problematic!"
