"Yang Rui, is it your first time attending an international academic conference?" a Chinese reporter stopped Yang Rui and signed up: "I'm Hu Xiaobing, a reporter from Guangming Daily." ”

Guangming Ribao is a major newspaper directly managed by the central government, and it is also the first newspaper in the domestic newspaper industry to propose not to publish general current political and economic news, but to replace it with scientific and technological news.

For a period of time, Guangming Daily even had its own academic section.

In the 80s, the most praised "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth" was also first published in Guangming Daily.

Although Yang Rui was hungry, he still showed a smile when he saw the sign of "Guangming Daily" on his chest and said, "Yes, it is my first time to participate in an international academic conference." ”

Hu Xiaobing was somewhat routine, looked at the notebook in his hand, and said: "The first time you participate in an academic conference, you can give a speech at the main venue, what do you think?"

If it weren't for the speech at the main venue, he wouldn't have come to interview Yang Rui.

Although Guangming Ribao is a newspaper on the cultural front that mainly propagates science and education, Hu Xiaobing's target must be an academic member (academician) in the position of four pages a day. There are hundreds of academicians of the two academies together, and half of them have to be reported every day, 365 days a year, and this is not counting foreign academicians of Chinese descent.

At an international conference such as the "International Congress of Medical and Biological Engineering", everyone collectively occupies a tofu block, and academicians are mentioned by name at most, and of course, academicians may not be able to speak at the main venue.

For now, Yang Rui is the most prominent Chinese scholar in recent days.

Hu Xiaobing didn't know that the newspaper would publish an article about Yang Rui, but as a reporter, he decided to do his duty to do a short interview.

Yang Rui felt that Hu Xiaobing's question was not nutritious, so he could only answer: "It's good, the main venue is also relatively spacious, and there are more people who can come to participate." If you think about it, I hope that my research results will be recognized by my peers. ”

After speaking, Yang Rui reminded again: "Making a report at the main venue is just because there are many people, and it is not the same concept as a keynote speech." ”

"It's great to give a speech in the main venue, and you can only have one person for a keynote speech. The implication is that people don't expect Yang Rui to give a keynote speech.

The keynote speech for this conference was Brosolette, an academician of the French Academy of Sciences, who can take 20 impact factors in a review, and Yang Rui is still a person from two worlds.

Yang Rui laughed, and felt that he was thinking too much, he patted his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's talk while walking." ”

"I'll take two pictures first. "It can be seen that the reporters who come to cover the academic conference are also hard enough, not to mention that there are photographers around, the camera is still a fool. Hu Xiaobing didn't dare to shoot more, he made a gesture back and forth, and finally took two pictures and put them away, and after the shooting, he took out a pen and paper, and asked: "I forgot to ask you, Yang Rui, your work unit is the Department of Biology of Peking University, and what is your title?"

This is also a problem with Chinese characteristics, Yang Rui said: "I don't have a job yet, I am now a student in the Department of Biology of Peking University. ”

In an instant, Hu Xiaobing's eyes lit up, and his soul as a reporter seemed to burn: "Are you still a student?

"20 years old. ”

"20 years old? 20 years old is not a graduate student, is it?"

"It's not. I'm a freshman this year. ”

"Freshman!" Hu Xiaobing gasped, and his whole body was refreshed: "Let's go, let's find a place to sit down and talk while eating, aren't you hungry? How about I give you an interview by the way?"

In terms of topicality, students can give speeches at the main venue of international conferences that are more sensational than academicians giving keynote speeches.

Hu Xiaobing acted like a thief, holding Yang Rui in his arms and going to the restaurant with a smoke.

……

The next day.

Yang Rui came to the venue a little later, and his report was over, and there was no work that had to be done. If he's too busy, he doesn't even come to the meeting, just like many foreign professors, just waiting outside for the closing ceremony.

However, Yang Rui is quite willing to listen to the reports of other scholars. In China now, it is not easy to obtain information, and the most famous news is that it will not be missed, such as the Nobel Prize, not long after it is awarded, all kinds of afterthought research will be released, and the research of the winners over the years will also be taken out by research institutions at all levels to experience repeatedly, as if this can hatch a Nobel Prize sibling.

On the contrary, the ordinary message is not well communicated. After 30 years, at least there is an Internet connection, it is easy to read foreign journals, and it is easy to go abroad.

In the 80s, it was pitiful, "Yi Meier" was still the content of textbooks, and correspondence was okay, but it was the patent of high-end scholars, because you first had to know a foreign scholar.

This is also the reason why international conferences are so popular, and Chinese scholars who have not studied abroad are really desperate to integrate into the world.

It is not possible not to integrate into the world, science is a global unity, since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, China has lagged behind the world, does not understand the progress of foreign countries, and there is no future at all behind closed doors.

Even if it's a repeat experiment, you have to do something that has repeat value.

Although Yang Rui has a lot of papers in his mind, on-site communication is different from dry papers after all.

Moreover, since yesterday, Yang Rui has become more or less familiar, and he has received the attention of some foreigners, and there are crooked nuts to greet him when they come and go, which is also a very special experience.

This is also thanks to Yang Rui's handsome face that is highly recognizable, and he is tall and strong, which is completely different from the thin Chinese researchers he sees every day.

If it weren't for this, some foreigners of the European and American departments would really not be able to distinguish between Chinese and Chinese, Japanese and Japanese, Chinese and Japanese Koreans......

After receiving more than a dozen business cards, Yang Rui was in a good mood, don't look at these business cards are ordinary scholars, and they can't stand a place for people to stay, Yang Rui wants to know some industry information in the future, at least there is a place to send letters or make calls. If you are lucky enough to go abroad, it is also very convenient to find these professors who hand over business cards.

In a few years, domestic scholars even applied for the opportunity to visit wèn scholars abroad through such ordinary connections.

Scholars are actually very good talkers, and they are in a small circle, and unless they are in a state of competition, they are convenient with others and themselves.

If 30 years later, visiting WÈN scholars or something is almost to find a receiving unit, and publish a few SCI papers by yourself, the state has corresponding special funds every year, and the school is also very willing for teachers to go out and brush up for a year.

If the applicant has a Ph.D. or something, it is even easier to go out and visit WÈN scholars.

At the same time, domestic universities are actually very welcome to visiting scholars from abroad, and they are very happy to contribute money and help with visas. In domestic universities and research institutes, this exchange mechanism can be considered healthy for decades to come.

After a morning, Yang Rui listened to four report meetings, asked six or seven questions, and chatted with twenty or thirty people, and felt that his life was extremely fulfilling.

In addition, the lunch is also unusually rich, half Chinese and half Western food buffet, which is rare to see in today's Beijing city. Just for this meal, many Chinese people have to sharpen their heads and get in.

"Yang Rui, come and sit. The people at the table next to him beckoned to Yang Rui, it was Professor Tang Ji and Professor Wang Yong, as well as several other familiar Peking University scholars.

A few days ago, when Yang Rui was worried that the foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine might send the wrong invitation letter, Tang Ji also offered to bring him in, and now it seems that the rest of the quota is given to others.

Yang Rui recognized the person, held the plate, walked over with a smile, and greeted: "Professor Wang, Professor Tang, you are here, I didn't see you yesterday." ”

"Yesterday I chatted with a couple of old friends. Tang Zhong smiled as if he had just made a fortune, and he was happy when he looked at Yang Rui.

Yang Rui's published papers related to potassium channels, the suffix can be Tang Zhongshi, although there is no actual benefit, but for a well-known professor like Tang Zhong, this kind of fame is the greatest wealth.

Wang Yong's personality is more kind, he likes Yang Rui again, and when Yang Rui sat down, he smiled and said: "Let me introduce you, this is Professor Zhang Ye of our school, and when you wait for next year, it is estimated that you will study his neurobiology." This is Mr. Fu from the Enzyme Engineering Office, and he will have a report this afternoon. ”

"I have to study. Yang Rui's posture was very low, and everyone present was his teacher, so he had to bow his head.

Professor Zhang Ye is about the same age as Wang Yong, and he is about the reason why he often teaches students, and he looks quite dignified, but he just nodded slightly. Teacher Fu of the enzyme engineering laboratory is about a scientific researcher who only does scientific research and does not teach, and he looks at Yang Rui with curiosity and says: "My paper can't be compared with yours, I listened to the report on mutagenesis you made yesterday, it is very groundbreaking." It's like the newspaper said, young and handsome, the conference will be the best. ”

Yang Rui immediately said modestly, "I was just lucky, I just happened to make the mutagenic gene", and then, Yang Rui asked in a low voice: "Is there a newspaper report?"

"You don't know?" said Mr. Fu.

"I woke up in the morning and came to the venue, but I didn't have time to read the newspaper or anything. Yang Rui touched his head. Although he was interviewed by Hu Xiaobing yesterday, it was not very formal, and Yang Rui did not think that the other party could publish the article within a day.

For media of the level of "Guangming Daily", a tofu block has to be carefully considered, and reporters write articles, but there are quite a few cases where they are not published.

In addition, he has never been in the habit of reading newspapers, and Yang Rui has no idea of looking for "Guangming Daily" at all.

"Xiaojin, you go buy a few newspapers, there are reports on Yang Rui. Wang Yong suddenly shouted to the back.

There were several young people who looked like students sitting at the next table, and they were obediently eating, when they heard Wang Yong's order, a student jumped up and rushed out.

After a while, five newspapers were placed in front of Yang Rui.

In addition to the two tofu cubes given by Guangming Daily, the China Education News and the Beijing Evening News both gave two tofu cubes.

Yang Rui looked a little dumbfounded.

When he was in Xibao Town, Zhao Dannian worked hard to get a tofu block in the "China Education Daily", and at that time, when the reporter went to Xibao Middle School for an interview, he was accompanied by the leaders of the city, county and town levels.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even do an interview this time, and was reported by "China Education News".

"Young and handsome, he dominates the international conference. Teacher Fu pointed to the headlines of the two newspapers and said, "I'm not wrong." ”

The International Conference is the title of Guangming Daily on the third page - the full title is "The International Conference of Chinese Students Dominates", the font is black and bold, and the eye-catching effect is very strong.

"The reporter from Guangming Daily interviewed me, what's going on with the remaining copies?" Yang Rui was puzzled.

"Reporters will exchange news with each other, and editors will also communicate with each other, don't worry about that, you should think about how to report to the school leaders when you go back, don't waste the opportunity. Tang Zhong winked at Yang Rui and said with a smile: "That's how good it is in Beijing, and you will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Jin, a student who bought a newspaper, sat in the back with three other students, and couldn't eat with envy. They are all senior students of Peking University, and they are said to be the best among their peers, but if they want to talk about fame or anything, they have nothing at all.

Looking at Yang Rui, a junior who is about to become famous or has already become famous, the four senior students of Peking University invariably have a feeling of injustice in the world.
