Looking at Tian Haosuo who was a little timid on the stage.
There was an unprecedented storm in Xu Yun's heart.
be honest.
There is actually no big problem with the name Tian Haosuo.
At most, it is easier to be regarded as Tian Suohao, and then add another two characters to become a stinky 24-year-old graduate student.
Xu Yun also encountered a similar situation when he was writing in his previous life. This kind of subconscious misunderstanding is very, very common.
After all, there is no need for fast food literature, and at the same time, there is no right to require readers to savor every word.
However, some readers occasionally make up their own minds based on misunderstandings, and in a state of excitement, make some comments that are not friendly to the author, which leaves them speechless.
If Xu Yun writes malicious manipulation, or plots that deviate from public values, then there will naturally be no problem with him being criticized.
No one would be happy to spend money to see a poisonous spot.
But Xu Yun obviously did nothing wrong. The reason why the reader is so emotional is because he didn’t see clearly. This is very aggrieved. T.T
Actually.
The role that Xu Yun arranged at that time was a request from an old book friend, who followed Xu Yun's two books and almost 3 million words.
As a result, I got trolled because of similar names. It’s so miserable.
The topic returns to its original place.
There is nothing wrong with the name Tian Haosuo, so naturally there is only one reason left that surprised Xu Yun:
He shouldn't be here!
As we all know.
The first person in Chinese history who met the definition of an international student was Zheng Manuo, a native of Xiangshan County, Guangdong, born in 1633.
When Zheng Manuo was born, the Portuguese had entered Magang for 80 years, and Magang had transformed from a small fishing village into a famous port for economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West.
The era when Zheng Manuo lived coincided with the first great change of the spread of Western learning to the East.
Later, under the arrangement of Father Lu, he entered the Macau Mission School to study.
Due to his excellent academic performance, he was deeply appreciated by the Western priests, and was taken to Europe to study at the Roman Public School.
However, one thing that needs to be emphasized is:
Mano Zheng did not actually obtain a bachelor's degree from the Roman College.
In his sophomore year, he transferred to the church to study theology, and his final status was as a "priest" rather than an international student.
So in the hereafter.
The person recognized as the first overseas student in China was not Zheng Manuo, but Rong Hong.
Rong Hong was born in Xiangshan County, Guangdong in 1828, and was the first foreign student to obtain a bachelor's degree in Chinese history:
He went to the United States to study in the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, that is, in early January 1847.
Admitted to Yale College in 1850.
Graduated successfully in 1854.
The famous "The Spread of Western Learning to the East" was written by Rong Hong.
Later, Rong Hong also took charge of matters related to the children studying in the United States during the Qing Dynasty. Starting from August 11, 1872, he accepted 120 children sent by the Qing Dynasty to study in the United States.
Among these 120 people.
In the end, 1 person was admitted to Harvard, 22 people were admitted to Yale University, 8 people were admitted to MIT, and 10 people were admitted to Columbia University.
Many others have also been admitted to Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania.
The famous Chinese engineer Zhan Tianyou, the first president of Shuimu University Tang Guoan, the president of Peiyang University Cai Shaoji, the first president of Ludong University and the founder of Fudan University were all young students studying in the United States.
Let me tell you something very interesting.
Everyone knows or has heard of O. Henry, right?
This is the O. Henry who can often see the "classic O. Henry ending" in the comment area. He was once defeated by these top students:
After graduating from his aunt's private school in 1877, he entered high school. He happened to meet the first batch of young children studying in the United States to enter high school. As a result, he encountered ruthless beatings in his studies.
When writing to Athol Estes, he once swore:
"Those Chinese people are so good at reading, read, read, read xxxx"
Besides Rong Hong, the first Chinese scholar to study in Europe in modern times was Huang Kuan.
He first traveled across the ocean with Rong Hong and was admitted to Mengsong Middle School in Massachusetts across the sea.
Then in 1849, he went to the University of Edinburgh in Scotland to study medicine and successfully obtained a medical degree.
Therefore, Chinese overseas students appeared very early in modern times.
But if the scope is narrowed to Europe’s top universities, the relevant timeline will be significantly pushed back.
The first Chinese to enter the University of Cambridge was Su Benchao. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge University in 1892 to study English, but he only successfully graduated with a degree certificate in 1907.
So in history.
The first Chinese to obtain a diploma from Cambridge University was Wu Liande, who was admitted to Cambridge University in 1896 and received his degree in 1900.
But it is only 1850, and the crow has not yet broken out.
Why did a Chinese student suddenly appear at the opening ceremony of Cambridge University?
This is more than forty years ahead of the original historical trajectory!
To know.
The main reason that prompted the mainland to send a large number of overseas students was the outbreak of a crow, which opened the door to the country.
And judging from the long braid behind him and his somewhat broken English, it is obviously unlikely that he is a descendant of earlier Chinese immigrants.
But soon.
Xu Yun thought of another thing.
That was in the library a few days ago. When he determined that the current level of European productivity was approximately close to 1900, a question suddenly popped up in his mind:
Why is it that with this level of productivity, the mainland can still survive without being invaded?
Now that I think about it
Is there some connection between this question and the reason why Tian Hao appears here?
Vaguely.
This feeling of being broken but not broken reminded Xu Yun of the chapter breaking technique he learned from the famous chapter breaking expert Pei Tugou in his previous life.
Most of the readers who saw the broken chapter at that time were as pricked in their hearts as I am now, right?
Then Tian Haosuo briefly mentioned that he was a descendant of a businessman and hurried back to his seat.
Perhaps this is the reason why the crow has not exploded yet.
Although Tian Haosuo's attire in long robes and braids was weird, the other students' faces did not show much contempt for him, such as the "sick man of East Asia".
Mainly based on curiosity and exploration, it is not friendly, but there is no obvious sarcasm.
Then William Whewell called the names of several students one after another.
ten minutes later.
He routinely scanned the list and made an obvious move.
He was silent for a moment and then suddenly said:
"Dear students, I believe that in the past few days during registration, everyone has heard about something."
"That is, someone gave the complete letter that Sir Newton sent to Mr. Fat Fish to the University of Cambridge!"
"178 years later, the two letters that changed the direction of human history are finally reunited."
"The next international student we want to welcome is the generous donor and the descendant of Mr. Fat Fish."
“From China”
"Luo Feng!"
Buzz
With the announcement of the name Luo Feng, the discussion at the scene immediately reached its highest climax since the ceremony.
Even Prince Albert, Faraday and others sitting in the first row turned their heads and looked back curiously.
After all, Xu Yun is really special.
on the one hand.
He is a parallel importer who came in through the back door and cannot even provide a certificate of completion of secondary or even primary education.
In the mouths of many people, Xu Yun is already synonymous with the word "shameless".
But on the other hand.
His ancestors were extremely mysterious fat fish.
Students who are familiar with "Water Margin" should have heard of this character:
Wang Jin.
He is the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards. He has superb martial arts skills and his official position is one level higher than that of Lin Chong. He is the instructor of the capital.
Later, he was framed by Gao Qiu, and he spent half a year in exile teaching Tiangang Xing, which was above the level of Shi Jin, and there was no further part in the main story.
Therefore, there was a lot of discussion about this person in the Water Margin circle in later generations, and the upper limit of his ability also fluctuated between Bai Sheng and Thanos.
To some extent.
Li Feiyu, who has always been misunderstood by Mavericks as a 'fat fish', is Wang Jin whose popularity has increased a hundred times.
He has had a huge impact on Maverick's life twice, and no matter how difficult the problem is, he can easily solve it in his hands.
The famous mathematician Leonhard Euler once commented on the fat fish:
"The Fat Fish is like a ghost that can travel through time and space, falling from the sky with knowledge that does not belong to this era, opening a door for mankind and then disappearing, leaving only a pair of shoes as a testimony of the deep friendship with Sir Newton.
"
Therefore, why does Xu Yun, a descendant of a "fat fish" and "parallel importer" not attract attention?
Under the gaze of all kinds of eyes.
Xu Yun slowly stood up from his desk with a calm expression.
joke.
In his previous life, he was urged to update day and night by tens of thousands of readers, many of whom were fathers who were the sponsors who rewarded the alliance leader. Didn't he prove himself by posting updates all the way, and finally gained a reputation for updating thirty thousand times a day?
Just a few hundred people is nothing.
Then he came to the podium and shook hands with William Whewell.
He nodded to Faraday and others in the audience.
Then he coughed lightly and said:
"Hello, gentlemen and madams, Hideyoshi."
"I am Luo Feng from China. I am 24 years old. I am currently studying in the Department of Mathematics at Trinity College. I am honored to study with you at the University of Cambridge, the palace of knowledge."
"Although I am a descendant of Mr. Fatty Fish, I am just mediocre and have no skills, except for my cooking skills."
"If you want to taste Chinese food, you can come to the dormitory to see me at any time."
"all in all."
"In the next four years, I also hope that all students will take care of me."
After Xu Yun finished speaking, sporadic applause broke out from the audience.
At first glance, among hundreds of people, only a handful of people applauded.
Except for a few professors in the first row who clapped their hands indifferently, the applause from a few people such as Xiaomai and Aveline was more conspicuous.
Xu Yun didn't care about this either. This situation was within his expectation.
But what surprised him a little was.
Tian Haosuo and Max Christian Friedrich Bruch, the future composer, were also applauding at this time.
And influenced by the popularity of Max Christian Friedrich Bruch, several students around him also applauded politely. For a while, the applause in that area was actually the largest.
After the sporadic applause subsided.
Xu Yun paused and continued:
"As we all know, the 19th century was the century of natural science."
"I believe that the vast majority of us will be able to make great contributions to ourselves, our country, and mankind in the future."
"So here, I want to give you the poems of a poet in Chinese history, and also give them to the British Empire."
After speaking, Xu Yun looked around, looked at the British politicians in the first row, and said slowly:
It is obviously a patriotic poem with powerful and passionate meaning.
After listening to this, several political figures present felt an inexplicable chill.
Xu Yun then bowed to the audience and prepared to return to his seat.
The whole process took a minute, which was not particularly ordinary but not too flashy. It was basically as expected.
Next, he only needs to return to his seat to wait for William Whewell or Albert's closing speech, and then lip-sync a hymn or two to them, and then he can officially start his small and transparent Cambridge career.
The University of Cambridge in 1850 was in the initial stage of natural science. Compared with Cambridge in later generations, the academic atmosphere was undoubtedly purer.
Xu·30,000 Daily Update·is not a fisherman·Yun. She just wants to complete her tasks quietly and live a peaceful life.
As a result, before he even moved two steps, one of the students below suddenly said loudly:
"Classmate Luo Feng, please wait a moment!"
"Everyone, classmates, all look at me and I will make an announcement!"
The meeting place fell silent for a moment.
Then, before Whewell on the stage could speak, the man stood up and said:
"Classmate Luo Feng, I am Angus Roman, the president of the Newton Research Society of Cambridge University. I have a question that I hope you can answer directly. How can you prove that you are a descendant of Mr. Fat Fish?"
Hear this.
Even though Xu Yun didn't say anything, William Whewell's face darkened and he scolded:
"Roman, pay attention to the occasion, this is the opening ceremony!"
The young man named Angus Roman hesitated when he heard the words, but he still pretended to be stubborn and said with a stiff neck:
"Mr. Whewell, I'm not joking, I just want an answer!"
"Cambridge University is the highest palace of truth in Europe, a holy place in the hearts of countless people. Everyone here has studied hard for years to realize their dream."
"But what about him?"
As he spoke, Angus Roman pointed at Xu Yun with strong dissatisfaction on his face:
"If he is really a descendant of Mr. Fat Fish, then I will naturally have no problem with his arrival, but how can he prove this?"
"He has neither received a certificate of completion of secondary education nor direct evidence that he is a biological descendant of Mr. Fatty Fish. He just openly became one of us with a letter."
"That handwritten letter can pass the review of the school leaders. I believe there is no problem with its authenticity."
Then Angus Roman changed the topic and his tone became more serious:
"But now I question its origin! I suspect that Luo Feng obtained this letter through unfair means!"
"If this person is a despicable and shameful thief, for example, in a library in the Netherlands, he stole a letter from the real descendant of Mr. Fat Fish, should we let a thief in the library protect his research?
?”
Angus Roman's words were obviously well prepared, and his speaking skills were extremely clever.
With just a few sentences, the students' emotions were aroused, and there was a buzzing discussion.
Not even just students.
Even Prince Albert and Faraday in the first row had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
See this situation.
William Whewell's face was already ashen.
He never thought about it.
Someone actually dared to say such words openly at the opening ceremony.
Innately stupid?
Obviously impossible.
Not to mention whether there are people who can go to Cambridge University who are stupid.
Angus Roman made it very clear when he introduced himself:
He is president of the Newtonian Society at Cambridge University.
A person who can become the president of the Newton Research Society of Cambridge University cannot have too low an IQ and EQ.
So filled with righteous indignation that you lose your mind?
It's also impossible.
Although Angus Roman was not a student of Trinity College, as the president of the Newton Research Society, Whewell knew his character very well.
This is a second-year graduate student at Emmanuel College. He is usually a steady person and would not make such a stupid mistake.
Moreover, even if he really has an opinion, he can raise his doubts in class after school starts:
Although there are not many public courses with hundreds of students per semester, they are not none.
Not to mention the distance, there will be an open history class in four days, with more than 300 students.
If Angus Roman really wants to arouse the students' emotions, he can just go up to the bullshit when the time comes.
In other words.
For him to do such a thing, there must be other interests entangled behind it.
conspiracy.
This word suddenly appeared in William Whewell's mind.
This is a premeditated and targeted conspiracy!
Then here comes the problem.
If Xu Yun's identity is successfully questioned, who will be the most embarrassed and most likely to be punished by Prince Albert?
The answer is self-evident.
It wasn't Xu Yun, but the person who agreed to Xu Yun's admission, that is, Whewell himself!
Then new problems arise again.
Looking at Cambridge University, there are not many people who can persuade Angus Roman to criticize him.
Firstly, the benefits must be sufficient, and secondly, it must be ensured that Angus Roman will not be punished for causing trouble.
So who is the person at Cambridge University who has this ability, qualifications, and motivation?
Combined with some recent events, the mastermind behind the entire incident has become clear.
William Whewell gritted his molars and read word by word in his mind:
