"Bah bang bang!"
Warm applause burst out, and thousands of students on the playground looked at the podium expectantly.
In fact, before the flag-raising ceremony began, all the students had already noticed the young man on the podium.
He was not wearing a school uniform, but was wearing a suit like the school leaders around him.
But at that age, he seemed different from those leaders.
Of course, the students present knew Li Mu's appearance very well, so they had long recognized the young man as Li Mu.
The emotions that had been suppressed for so long due to the flag-raising ceremony burst out at this moment. They expressed their admiration in their hearts with applause and cheers.
On the stage, Li Mu also walked out with a smile and came to the host's side.
The host was a girl in her sophomore year of high school, and she looked at Li Mu with admiration in her eyes.
"Professor Li!"
She handed the microphone to Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled at her and took the microphone: "Thank you."
The sophomore girl's cheeks blushed slightly, and then she hurried away.
After all, if those stars who sing and dance rap can become the idols of some young people, then Li Mu is the idol of almost all young people in the country.
Of course, even those who are a bit thin-skinned will feel shy when talking to idols.
Of course, Li Mu didn't care about these little things.
He looked at the junior students on the playground, then narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again, and said: "Breathing the atmosphere of my alma mater again makes me feel very nostalgic. "
"There is a feeling of smelling the rising sun."
When he said this, he also raised his head and looked at the sky, then pointed to the sun in the sky with a smile and said: "So the rising sun is in the sky."
But then, he looked at the students: "Of course, also on the ground."
All the students in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
Li Mu was obviously talking about them.
Li Mu paused for a moment and finally spoke again: "Okay, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Li Mu. I am a 2018 graduate of our No. 83 Middle School, and I can be considered your senior. "
"Before, I briefly proved several well-known conjectures in mathematics, and then briefly proposed the fifth fundamental force of physics, the dimensional force, which was called the successor of Einstein by colleagues in the physics community. …”
As soon as Li Mu said these words, everyone present immediately raised their eyebrows.
Too special for Versailles? !
However, Li Mu did not pause and continued: "Actually, after I did these things, except for the beginning, I was quite emotional, but then I didn't feel much anymore. What should I continue to do? Keep doing whatever you’re doing.”
"Perhaps a person should make some achievements in his life that are worthy of praise from others, but he should be worthy of praise from others, not himself."
"Just like each of our names, these things are for others, not for ourselves."
"Once you use it too much, you forget who you are..."
"Of course, you may feel that you have not achieved anything yet, but because of this, you have to think about another thing - how to create your own achievements."
"I don't have any good advice on this, but maybe you all may have read the reply I wrote to Mr. Chen Li, the grandson of Chen Jingrun."
"The giants have laid the foundation for us, and the first thing we need to do is to stand on the shoulders of the giants. After that, you will naturally see a different perspective."
"However, there is a problem before us. Not everyone of us can climb on the shoulders of giants."
"But no matter what, you need to at least try to climb up so that your horizons can be broadened."
"So, the only advice I can give is: read the book first."
"The accumulation of knowledge is the key to whether you can climb to a higher position. It is the ladder under your feet."
"And these stairs are all in the book."
Speaking of this, Li Mu paused.
He took a few steps forward with the microphone, "But what I have to say is, if you want to prove a few mathematical conjectures like me, or want to discover important secrets of physics such as dimensional force, then It’s very difficult to achieve success.”
"And you also have to think about the present moment, where you may be feeling anxious about an upcoming exam."
"You may also have trouble deciding what major to choose after the college entrance examination."
"In the further future, you may also feel that the climb up is too difficult, and in the end, you may even start to think about lying down."
"And to this, what I want to say is, just follow your inner choice."
"As humans, we can turn pressure into motivation, but we can also resist pressure, and we can also forget pressure."
"If you want to change yourself, then work hard, read books, and climb the heights of giants. If you feel a little breathless, then follow your own ideas, whether it is to take a temporary rest or lie down."
"Playing games, watching TV shows..."
“Don’t feel like you’re wasting your time, and don’t care if others say you’re wasting your time.”
"As Russell said, if you can get pleasure from wasting time, it is not a waste of time. "
"Like Aristotle said, man's life is to pursue happiness and survive."
"Anything that prevents you from pursuing happiness, just treat it as an enemy. Why do you care about the words of your enemy?"
…
The vast majority of speeches, such as those invited to schools like Li Mu, are a successful person spreading his successful experience to a group of unsuccessful or unsuccessful people, irrigating them with various kinds of chicken soup for the soul, maybe This can also be regarded as a kind of pua.
But in Li Mu's speech, he did not simply talk about Chicken Soup for the Soul and share his successful experience.
Instead, he stated the fact that his success could not be replicated—unless, like him, he had an additional computer and system in his head.
And since it can't be reproduced, why let others learn from him?
On the contrary, it is the pressure brought by modern society that makes too many people breathless, and they should be relieved.
Just like that, his speech ended.
Whether it was Sun Guofu or others, they looked at him with a somewhat complicated look. After all, they did not expect that Li Mu's speech would say words that were not in line with mainstream ideas such as "hard work leads to success."
But Li Mu would not explain this.
…
On the same day, the video of his speech was also released, which naturally caused a lot of controversy.
Some professors stood up and criticized his remarks.
But on the contrary, on the Internet, his speech received almost unanimous approval.
[I don’t know what those people are objecting to. What’s wrong with what the Shepherd said? After all, the Shepherd also said that if you want to succeed, read hard. I heard that the Shepherd can read several books a day. 】
[I have also worked hard for more than 20 years, from going to elementary school at the age of six to graduating with a doctorate at the age of 26, and now, I have not achieved much. I just want to pursue my own happiness with peace of mind - okay, for me He said that as long as he is not tired, he is happy. 】
[Now I don’t think about anything every day, I just want to eat something delicious. 】
【……】
Li Mu didn't pay any attention to the various comments on the Internet or the criticisms from professors.
Anyway, for him, whether it is studying or doing research, it can help him gain happiness.
Therefore, for him, there is no conflict between the two.
Just like that, a few days later, he got on a plane to Germany.
It wasn't until about October 15th that he appeared in the laboratory in Germany.
"Boss, you are finally here!"
"I miss you so much!"
After entering the laboratory, Kingsley Weir greeted him with open arms.
Li Mu quickly backed away, extending his hand and saying, "Okay, okay, calm down. How is the experiment going?"
After hearing this question, Kingsley Weir shook his head helplessly and said, "It's the same as what I told you on the phone before. There is no change, and there is no pattern at all."
"Where's the experimental data? How many groups have you done?"
"According to your instructions, I have worked overtime these days and done almost more than 100 groups with these boys." Kingsley Weir pointed to some other young people in the laboratory.
These young people were all recruited by him. They were students who had a good relationship with him. These students understood him very well. After all, no one can make mistakes without being a sage.
In fact, Kingsley Weir has even received support from these students over the years.
When these young people saw Li Mu coming in, their faces showed respect. Even though they may be older than Li Mu, they still shouted: "Hello, Professor Li!"
Li Mu smiled and nodded to these people, "Hello."
Then he said no nonsense and said directly to Kingsley Ware: "Give me the data. I will start analyzing it now and try to find the problem today."
Kingsley Weir was stunned: "Today...? We have more than 100 sets of experimental data. It may be difficult to complete it in one day, right?"
"In addition, I actually don't understand why you want so many different data. It will be more troublesome to process it this way..."
Li Mu smiled: "Maybe you don't know that there is an idiom in China called the more the better."
"The more the merrier?"
Kingsley Weir had a look of confusion on his face.
Of course, while the two were talking, Kingsley Weir had already turned on the computer and showed all the experimental data to Li Mu.
Looking at the ratio of thrombolytic drugs in each set of experiments, Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
"Rehmannia glutinosa, salvia miltiorrhiza, angelica sinensis... Weir, it seems you have done a lot of research on traditional Chinese medicine."
Kingsley Ware smiled and said: "In addition to studying life sciences as a graduate student, I also studied botany by the way. I have always felt that Chinese medicine is very magical."
"If I hadn't heard that Chinese medicine is difficult to learn, maybe I would have studied Chinese medicine in the first place."
"I know several people who have made a fortune from studying traditional Chinese medicine."
Li Mu laughed lightly, but his attention was completely devoted to these experimental data.
Kingsley Weir stopped talking, and the surrounding students who were former students of Kingsley Weir also fell silent.
They all wanted to know how Li Mu could analyze the results within today.
However, when they saw that Li Mu didn't even perform any calculations on the scratch paper, they suddenly turned around and asked them: "Are you sure you have measured all the ingredients?"
"I don't think the ingredients you are currently measuring have anything to do with the conditions of the experiment!"
"So it must exist, there is no measured component!"
