After a few glasses of wine, I instantly felt a lot more familiar. Zhang Taiyan asked again: "Little brother, I only know your name is Li Yu, but do you have a font name?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "To be honest, this junior does not."
"There is no font size?" Zhang Taiyan was surprised, "With my little brother's knowledge, this shouldn't be the case!"
Li Yu said frankly: "It depends on what kind of knowledge you are talking about. If it is Chinese studies, I am no different from someone who has only attended private school for a few years."
"I don't believe it!" Zhang Taiyan shook his head.
Li Yu said: "That's because Mr. Taiyan didn't know that I came in last place in the Cultivation and Righteousness section of the admissions exam at the Capital University."
Zhang Taiyan asked: "First place from the bottom? With your reputation, they dare to give you the last place? Who was the one who graded the exam?"
Li Yu said: "The chief Chinese instructor at the Capital University is Mr. Wu Rulun, and the deputy chief instructor is Mr. Gu Hongming. I don't know who will grade the exams."
Zhang Taiyan touched his chin and thought for a while: "If Wu Rulun fails you, I can't tell you, but if Gu Hongming dares to fail you, I, Zhang Taiyan, will be the first to disagree!"
Li Yu said awkwardly: "It is true that our Chinese studies are too weak."
"Weak?" Zhang Taiyan began to correct him again, "Have you not read Gong Zizhen's poem? I urge God to cheer up and send talents to you in any way! If even you have to waste time reading those useless scriptures, why not
How to do science?"
Li Yu cupped his hands and said, "That's what Mr. Taiyan said."
Zhang Taiyan said: "That's how it should be! Besides, these people know nothing about Confucian classics! They are just a bunch of old stubborns who don't understand the essence of Confucian classics at all."
Zhang Taiyan's tone is still loud, but he is indeed qualified to scold him.
Li Yu thought that he might as well just ask Zhang Taiyan to give him a word. I'm afraid there is no one more suitable than him, so he said, "If possible, please ask Mr. Taiyan to give me a word for this junior."
Zhang Taiyan drank a glass of wine and said, "You don't have to be polite to me about juniors and not juniors! There is no need to call people who I, Zhang Taiyan, respect, juniors. You can treat me as my father."
Well, Li Yu didn't even know how to answer the question. Zhang Taiyan deserves to be called Madman Zhang in the Republic of China.
But Zhang Taiyan is indeed not much older than Li Yu. He is only 34 years old now.
"How old are you?" Zhang Taiyan asked again.
Li Yu said: "I am 24 years old this year."
"Good times!" Zhang Taiyan said with emotion, "But I should have had a font size long ago, let me think about it."
"There is Mr. Lao Taiyan." Li Yu said.
Zhang Taiyan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Although I can't understand the scientific articles you wrote, it does not prevent me from understanding your achievements through the newspapers' reports. Moreover, I also specially found European newspapers to read them.
I still know you quite well
I found that the top leaders of the European scientific community attach great importance to you. Even their highest institution, the Royal Academy of Sciences, dare not neglect you. Even the King of Sweden received you. It made me very clear that your status in science has far surpassed mine.
The position of literati in Confucian classics."
Li Yu smiled and said: "There is still a slight difference between science and literature."
Zhang Taiyan said: "There was a difference at the time. But no matter how good I was in studying Confucian classics, it seemed not worth mentioning to foreigners because this kind of culture is difficult to communicate with. But science is different. I vaguely feel that science
It’s what runs through the world.”
Li Yu added: "It's not just that, what's cultural is what's world-wide."
Zhang Taiyan gave a thumbs up again: "My little brother speaks well, so I will never believe that your level of Confucianism is too low."
Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "I heard what others said."
With Zhang Taiyan's level, if he were to know his level of Chinese studies, it would be a joke, and I'm afraid it would make him laugh out loud.
Zhang Taiyan said: "You are very talented in science. You are already famous all over the world at a young age. In my opinion, it is more than that. Your achievements in the future should be getting higher and higher, which is beyond my imagination."
Li Yu even wanted to lead Zhang Taiyan to play werewolf. This guy's vision was too sharp. As a prophet, he would definitely kill everyone in the audience.
Li Yuwen: "I'll be embarrassed if Mr. Taiyan praises me again."
Zhang Taiyan filled up the wine: "I am just stating the facts. Since the little brother will also have supreme glory in the future, I suddenly thought of a very important idea in Confucian classics: Doctrine of the Mean. The ancients said that too much is too little, and this is deeply hidden in the core of our culture.
. If I were to give you a word, I would try to make you a little more 'moderate'. Of course, this is not a disparagement."
Li Yu nodded: "Mr. Taiyan is a great scholar. I very much agree with what you said."
Zhang Taiyan paused for a moment: "Talent is the best in the world, and you seek moderation in your heart; elegance is both elegance and vulgarity, and vulgarity is elegance. I thought of the word 'sparing talents', which means 'sparing talents and shallow learning', but in fact you are not shallow in talents and learning.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be so neutral?"
Li Yu had nothing to say. He couldn't think of so many things to say. He praised him repeatedly: "Sparse talents, sparse talents, good words! Thank you Mr. Taiyan."
Zhang Taiyan said with a smile: "No one dares to laugh at anyone who dares to laugh at themselves. I also thought of these two words today when I saw an ignorant red deer mocking you in a Japanese university."
Li Yu raised his wine glass: "It's so clear!"
Zhang Taiyan burst out laughing: "It is a great blessing in my life to be able to give names to the scientific talents of our time. A white book is not enough, I have to drink three cups in a row!"
After a while, Li Yu asked again: "Mr. Taiyan, are you still going back to China?"
Zhang Taiyan wiped his mouth: "Yes, I will return to Shanghai soon."
Li Yu calculated in his mind that according to the historical process, Zhang Taiyan was very likely to be arrested by the Qing government again this time when he returned, so he said: "Why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Taiyan said: "My little brother may not have seen it. Forget it, it's better not to see it. Don't dirty your eyes. Just listen to what I say. Recently, Kang Shengren wrote two articles in Canada, "With Classmates and Scholars"
Liang Qichao and others discussed the subjugation of India due to the independent establishment of books by each province and "Reply to the Flowers of North and South America"
It is extremely ridiculous. He actually publicly slandered the revolutionaries and said that revolution can only speed up the destruction. He said that the only way to deal with China is to amend the constitution, and that there must be no distinction between Manchu and Han, and the monarch and the people must govern together.
'. It is really naive. If the imperial power is not destroyed, why should Manchu and Han not be separated?"
In fact, even Liang Qichao couldn't stand Kang Youwei's actions, but in the first article, Kang Youwei reprimanded Liang Qichao for having different opinions. Liang Qichao had no choice but to continue to obey Kang Youwei because of the feelings between teachers and students.
Zhang Taiyan had a bad temper and looked down upon Kang Youwei's practice of running around amassing money crazily and then commanding a large number of royalists with his poor cognitive control. He scolded him as soon as he raised his pen and did not tolerate him at all.
Li Yu sighed: "It is often the darkest before dawn."
Zhang Taiyan's eyes lit up: "You kid keeps saying that your level of Chinese studies is poor, how come you can always say golden sentences."
Li Yu said: "It's all seen from other places."
Zhang Taiyan said: "It is precisely because of the darkness that people need to light up themselves, instead of just claiming to be a sage like Kang Shengren. Do you think I, Zhang Taiyan, am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Li Yu knew that this road was not easy for him, so he said: "Mr. Taiyan, you must be careful and don't give away your life in vain."
Zhang Taiyan smiled and said: "How could I be so stupid?"
Li Yu thought about it too.
It won't be long before Zhang Taiyan will indeed be arrested in Shanghai, but it sounds like a black humor, the kind of joke that makes people want to laugh but can't.
Zhang Taiyan was captured by the Qing government in the British Concession in Shanghai. However, the Qing government could not bring Zhang Taiyan out in the British Concession and could only prosecute him.
As a result, a farce-like trial unfolded in the court in the British Concession.
The plaintiff was the Qing government, the defendant was Zhang Taiyan, and the judge in the trial was British.
Isn’t it funny that the Qing government, in its own land, wants to be a plaintiff in a British court?
The key is that the Qing government lost the case and ultimately did not take Zhang Taiyan out of the British Concession and kill him.
Moreover, Zhang Taiyan is different from ordinary people when he is in prison. He can read books and newspapers, and many of his apprentices went to jail with him. It feels like he has a luxurious suite in prison.
Intellectual people in Shanghai are even proud to have served in prison together with Zhang Taiyan.
But that was also a British concession. There were so many concessions in the country. No matter how you thought about it, it was not a funny joke.
Since there is no concession in the capital, Li Yu certainly cannot do as he pleases like Zhang Taiyan. Even if he wants to cut off his braids, he must officially have international student status or obtain a degree from a Western European university. Fortunately, this is not difficult for him.
It won't be long.
After drinking and eating, the two chatted for several hours before they separated. Li Yu returned to his residence and fell asleep first, and then got up to calculate the solutions of several Riemann functions.
It is really troublesome for other people to solve the problem, but it is not too troublesome for Li Yu because he has a killer weapon in his hand: a calculator!
The Riemann function is an analytical continuation of the Riemann function, and the solutions are all complex numbers, so the calculation is really cumbersome.
If it were done purely by hand, it would often take dozens of days or even months for ordinary people to calculate a solution, but with a calculator, Li Yu could solve it in fifteen to twenty minutes.
Although he is a bit of a scoundrel, that kid is ignorant of good and evil and offends people he shouldn't offend. Let him know the dangers of science...
Li Yu's calculation was in full swing, and someone came to find him again.
Li Yu opened the sliding door, and standing outside was a short, middle-aged Japanese man in his forties. The other person said: "Hello, Mr. Li Yu! I would like to excuse you, but allow me to introduce myself. I am Kanazhi."
Goro, I heard your speech at Tokyo Imperial University today, and I was very interested. Then after checking the information, I found out that Mr. is a brilliant man in science."
Li Yu heard of Jigoro Kano, who was the founder of judo and can be called the father of judo.
Li Yu asked: "Why did Mr. Jian Na come to see me?"
Kano Jigoro said: "I also graduated from the University of Tokyo earlier. I came back recently to promote the judo I created. It happened to be my husband's lecture and I learned that he is Chinese. I think my students will be very interested in you.
."
"Student?" Li Yu didn't know why.
Jigoro Kano nodded: "I have built a Hongbun Academy in Tokyo, which specializes in recruiting Chinese students. It has enrolled nearly a thousand students. It can be said to be the largest school for Chinese students in Tokyo. The students in the school have also heard about my husband's deeds.
They all signed a letter asking me to invite my husband to our school."
Li Yu always felt that he had heard the name of Hongwen School somewhere, and for a Japanese to do this, Kano Jigoro can also be called an "extraordinary" among Japanese.
So Li Yu said: "Of course it can."
Jigoro Kano bowed and said: "Welcome, sir!"
When he came to Hongwen College, Li Yu saw a lot of Chinese people, and there was one person in the crowd whom Li Yu was really familiar with. It should be said that he was more familiar with Zhang Taiyan.
Because it’s Brother Xun!
Lu Xun!
No wonder Li Yu felt that Hongwen College was so familiar. Lu Xun went to Japan to study last year and entered the Japanese crash course at Hongwen College and studied for more than two years before entering Sendai Medical College.
Of course, Lu Xun is not called Lu Xun now.
No, it should be said that he has not yet used the pen name "Lu Xun", but is called Zhou Shuren.
Kano Jigoro said: "When you enter my Hongbun Academy, you not only have to study, but also practice judo. That's why the students who come out of my school can be said to be capable of both literacy and martial arts."
Well, did Lu Xun also learn judo?
Li Yu couldn't help but ask: "Everyone must learn?"
Kano Jigoro said proudly: "Yes! However, everyone has their own talents in judo. Some are naturally good at this art, and some are less good. However, my purpose is not to let them fight, but to have strong physical strength."
physique."
Li Yu said: "Sir actually engages in quality education, which is respectable and respectable."
"Quality education?" Jigoro Kano also heard this term for the first time, "It makes sense! If you have such a great talent, I think you are also a person who has deep feelings about education. You must tell me more about what it is in the future."
Quality education', I must study hard!"
Well, Li Yu just casually said one of the most common educational terms in the 21st century, but he didn't expect that a principal would directly extend it.
Li Yu had no choice but to reply: "It's easy to talk about."
But according to Kano Jigoro, Lu Xun really learned judo. It seems that even in a fight, he might not have been able to beat him.
In Li Yu's previous impression, most literati looked weak and indifferent, but occasionally there were a few "chivalrous characters" in the literature that impressed people, the most typical one being Xin Qiji.
But I really didn’t expect that Lu Xun knew how to do judo!
This is simply incredible.
It feels like I suddenly learned that Li Kui can embroider, which is completely unexpected, okay?
Li Yu had briefly learned Sanda and Taekwondo before, in some interest classes offered by the school, and basically only had a superficial taste.
When he was still young, he asked his coach, "If we were to fight with bare hands on the street, which style would be most effective? Boxing, Sanda? Or something else?"
The coach thought for a while and said: "These are not good. If it is really a street fight, the best way to use it is close combat. The core method is wrestling. Knocking others down will give you an infinite advantage."
Judo is also a close combat skill, which is quite useful in fights.
Li Yu couldn't help but take a closer look at Brother Xun. He looked so thin that he should be in the 60kg weight class.
...Li Yu quickly shook his head, what's going on? He thought of fighting for no reason!
