The next day, Li Yu followed Liang Dunyan to Peiyang University Hall.
The place was already overcrowded, and many students held up banners: "The glory of Nobel belongs to the talents of the East today"!
As soon as Li Yu stepped onto the podium, the students below immediately became excited and cheered loudly.
Li Yu said: "Everyone, I am honored to stand here again. It is naturally a happy thing to win the award, but I still can't change anything. Only the progress of thousands of students is truly worthwhile.
It's a big blessing. Now, we have secured the opportunity to study in the United States in the future, and hundreds of places will be provided every year. The universities in the United States are better than those in neighboring Japan. I hope everyone can cherish the opportunity, study hard, and win glory for yourself.
Win glory for the country!"
After an impassioned speech, the applause from below was even louder.
Liang Dunyan then selected several student representatives to ask questions.
One of them was very representative. He stood up and introduced himself first: "Hello, Imperial Master, I am Liu Ruiheng, from Zhili."
Li Yu's eyes lit up, he knew this person.
Liu Ruiheng was the first Harvard MD in Chinese history. He made great contributions to China's modern public health. However, he is most famous for his kidney removal surgery for Liang Qichao as the chief surgeon at Union Hospital.
This incident became quite famous in later generations, and it was once rumored that Liang Qichao had cut off the wrong kidney.
At that time, the level of Concordia was actually very high, and even the most advanced X-ray machine was used to examine Liang Qichao.
Liang Qichao was admitted to Union Medical College Hospital for treatment because of blood in his urine. The X-ray machine found that there was a shadow on Liang Qichao's right kidney. When both kidneys were examined, it was found that there was blood in the excretion of the right kidney, but the left kidney was normal.
After consultation, the doctor believed that the shadow should be a tumor. According to past experience, once there is a tumor in the kidney, it is basically malignant. If allowed to develop, it will quickly become life-threatening, so the doctor recommended removal of the right kidney.
But the problem began at this moment. The postoperative pathological examination found that it was not a malignant tumor. What's more, the trouble was that Liang Qichao's symptoms of hematuria were not eradicated and continued to recur. He did not recover until his death.
Therefore, many followers of Liang Qichao were dissatisfied. Even Xu Zhimo came out and accused Union Hospital of "cutting the waist but not cutting the disease."
However, Liang Qichao was still very generous. He was worried that the spread of Western medicine in the country would be hindered due to his own fault, so he wrote an article to defend Union Medical College Hospital: "Whether the right kidney must be removed is a medical issue that we laymen cannot judge. But then
During the third diagnosis, I was only partially drugged and was still conscious, so the results of the diagnosis
, I saw it very clearly, layer by layer. According to the view at that time, the crime was in the right kidney, there was no doubt about it. Looking back later, it was either that the crime did not deserve death, or that the punishment was not worthy of the crime. It was not clear at that time.
Whether it is possible to 'save someone under the knife' is difficult to know except for experts. But there is something wrong with the right kidney, which is probably not suspicious. I think it is wrong to say that it is the doctor Meng Lang."
But Liang Qichao was so famous that suspicions about the matter never subsided. It was not until 2006, when Union Hospital showed the medical records from that year that the rumors about the wrong kidney were completely clarified.
Moreover, a pathological autopsy was performed after Liang Qichao's death, and it was finally discovered that the cause of death was between the lungs and left rib, not the kidneys.
It can be imagined that Liu Ruiheng was under a lot of pressure in those years, and he did not perform any more surgeries later. After seeing that domestic public health became more urgent, he switched from his old practice of surgery to the direction of public health.
Liu Ruiheng continued to ask: "Master Imperial Master, I would like to know, what is the level of what is learned in domestic universities in the United States?"
Li Yu said: "Your school has been established for a long time. Even after your graduates enter top universities in the United States, they are not much different from other students."
The quality of students at Beiyang University is currently considered the highest among domestic universities.
It's just that the campus is relatively dilapidated at this time. After all, it was just rebuilt after the Gengzi Rebellion.
Liu Ruiheng said: "That is to say, it is not advisable for the Russians to say that yellow people are intellectually weaker than white people."
Li Yu said: "That's nonsense, don't worry about it! After a while, psychology will propose a relatively strict intelligence test method, and then you will intuitively see that there is no intellectual gap between races."
Liu Ruiheng said: "Thank you, Master Di, for dispelling my doubts."
Li Yu said with a smile: "Confidence still needs to be built up, even if you are so poor and weak. Youdao, if things turn around, it's time to hit bottom and rebound."
After continuing to answer some questions, Li Yu gave them a general introduction to his experiences abroad and how to better integrate into local campus life.
These are things that students love to hear, and they immediately listened to Li Yu's stand-up comedy as if listening to a storyteller.
A lecture slowly turned into a chat with students.
Li Yu likes this form, but in fact he is not much older than them.
But it took a long time, and Li Yu spent a whole day in Peiyang University Hall.
The next day, Li Yu still failed to get on the train to the capital, because Zhang Boling, who came back with him, had already called Yan Fansun and took Li Yu to see the school that had just completed its first batch of enrollment.
With the help of two education giants from the Republic of China, Tianjin's education has advanced very quickly, but the construction speed of school buildings is slower than that in Shanghai. Fortunately, what should be there is basically there.
Li Yu's request was a bit too high. Even if it was just a rough room used as a classroom at this time, everyone was already grinning from ear to ear.
Relying on the reputation of the two education tycoons and Li Yu, the school has been very successful in recruiting students. Not to mention local students in Tianjin, some people even came from Tongzhou and Baoding with their children.
Zhang Boling traveled around the United States, not only watching the Olympic Games, but also visiting many American primary and secondary schools. She benefited a lot and became more confident at the same time.
Li Yu also brought him better news: "When I was in the Netherlands, Mr. van der Waals helped select 20 outstanding primary and secondary school teachers, and they were all Dutch university graduates. I plan to disperse them around the country.
In the school."
Zhang Boling was very happy: "This is great news! In the past, we could only find missionaries willing to teach in local churches, but they often only went to their own church schools and came out to give a few classes occasionally. Now we have a formal
The foreign teachers of Erba Jing have greatly improved our teaching capabilities."
What the school wants to teach is Western learning, and teachers who meet the requirements are as rare as a handful. Nowadays, Western college students still have people with teaching qualification certificates as teachers, which is great.
Yan Fansun also smiled and said: "We have another golden sign."
This group of students is the first group of students from Tianjin Cooperative Middle School that Li Yu and the two of them attended, and can be regarded as the Nankai branch.
Zhang Boling said: "Because the number of applicants was more than expected, we could only conduct a wave of selection first, leaving 120 people, which has exceeded our original target of 100 people. However, some parents or students are eager to learn, and after informing
Even though there were difficulties such as accommodation, they still refused to give up. I really couldn't bear to refuse, so I kept them."
Li Yu nodded: "All difficulties can be solved. The worst we can do is continue to acquire land. Education must start with children no matter what."
Zhang Boling gave Li Yu the admission list. Li Yu glanced at it and suddenly stopped at a name: "Mei Yiqi"!
Isn’t this the future president of Tsinghua University?
Li Yu couldn't help asking Zhang Boling: "How old is this student this year?"
Zhang Boling said: "Mei Yiqi, he is fifteen years old. I have a very good impression of him. His family background is quite difficult in his life. His father is a clerk in a salt shop. Mei Yiqi ranks fifth in his family. He has been keen on reading since he was a child. He must come here.
I went to school. Later, my test scores turned out to be very good, so I accepted the offer."
Li Yu said: "It's a good deal! His tuition and miscellaneous expenses, as well as other similar achievements, will be reimbursed by Xie Yuxi's education foundation."
Zhang Boling asked: "There is one more thing that I need to ask for advice. The Imperial Master is a scientific genius who can be deeply admired by foreigners. In the future, is it necessary for us to completely follow Western style in teaching, such as writing habits, teaching content, etc.
wait."
Li Yu shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. They will come back sooner or later. Let's use both the brush and the hard pen."
Zhang Boling said: "Brother Fan Sun means the same thing. But I haven't figured out which teaching materials the middle school should use because the textbooks given by the imperial teacher are all about Western subjects."
Li Yu said: "The two of you know more about middle school courses than I do. I think as long as we arrange the class hours for each subject reasonably, that's it."
A few people had already arrived at the playground while they were talking. At this time, the students had not yet had a holiday. After gathering, Yan Fansun asked Li Yu to say a few words. In general, he should study hard and make progress every day. There were some younger students present.
, it is already good to be able to study hard, exercise and cultivate correct values at the same time. There is no need to tell them about the ideals of family and country for the time being.
The students were the first batch after all, and Li Yu still had great hopes for them.
Finally, Yan Fansun suddenly asked Li Yu to write another plaque and put it in the classroom to remind students to study hard.
Li Yu quickly refused and said, "Brother Fan Sun, I'd better not be embarrassed by my broken handwriting."
Yan Fansun said: "How can the emperor's master be so knowledgeable and disgraceful by writing?"
Yan Fansun even brought out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and picked up the brush: "Brother Shucai, please!"
Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Fan Sun, you really can't write it, otherwise it will simply discredit our new school."
Yan Fansun insisted on asking Li Yu to write: "Even if he is not as good as the famous ancient master Wang Youjun Yan Zhenqing, he is still better than the Jinshi Juren."
Li Yu said awkwardly: "I can't even compare to Tong Sheng."
Under Yan Fansun's repeated insistence, Li Yu had no choice but to pick up the writing brush and said, "We agreed that you won't laugh at me if I don't write well."
Yan Fansun said: "How could I laugh at the emperor's master?"
Li Yu then wrote eight words on the paper: "Love to learn and think deeply, and know the meaning from the heart." Even though he had practiced calligraphy for a long time, he still could not be called calligraphy.
Yan Fansun was really shocked: "This..."
He suddenly remembered not to laugh, so he changed his mind and said, "This is really a return to nature!"
Li Yu laughed loudly: "So let's find a famous calligrapher to inscribe the plaque. It would be better if I tear it up quickly."
Yan Fansun quickly put it away carefully: "I can't use it, I can't use it. After all, this is the first time I've seen the emperor's calligraphy treasure. There's no reason to tear it up."
Li Yu shrugged, fortunately he didn't care too much about it.
After staying in Tianjin for almost a week, Li Yu is really about to return to the capital for the Chinese New Year.
But when she wanted to ask Lu Bicheng to set off together, she suddenly expressed that she would stay in Tianjin during the Chinese New Year. She explained: "If I can't stay with my mother this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany her during the Chinese New Year."
Li Yu understood what she meant: "I will come to pick you up after the New Year, and pick you up in an open and fair manner."
Lu Bicheng nodded: "I'll wait for you."
——
After more than half a year, they finally returned to the capital. Uncle Wang, Zhao Qian, Fengling and others were overjoyed when they saw Li Yu. They really regarded Li Yu as their benefactor, not just as a master and servant.
"Sir, you are finally back!" Uncle Wang burst into tears.
Li Yu smiled and said: "I miss you too!"
Zhao Qian hurriedly helped pack Li Yu's luggage.
After sitting on a chair in the hall, Fengling asked: "Sir, why don't you see Miss Bicheng back?"
Li Yu said mysteriously: "Just wait, after the New Year, she will be the mistress of the house."
Fengling was very happy when she heard this: "Sir, oh no, sir, you are so awesome, I have been thinking about this all the time! Tell me, why did you decide it after just one trip to the country?"
Li Yu raised his hand and struck it horizontally: "Cut first and then play!"
"Oh!" Fengling became even more excited, "Master, you are really, really... I don't even know what to say! You don't know how worried I have been. You are just your age and strong, but you are...
The delay in making any move makes me always worry that you don't understand what's going on in the room. You were not here some time ago, so I have been thinking about how to explain it to you from a side, but I am afraid of hurting your self-esteem. I have no choice but to even
I went and bought some joy dolls."
Li Yu smiled and said, "You can't underestimate me so much, right?"
Zhao Qian said to Fengling: "Don't be so careless about your husband. Let me tell you, I am absolutely lively! A hundred times better than all those idle and vain young men. Humph, are you still worried about this?"
Fengling hurriedly said: "That's true. In fact, I'm pretty good at judging people in this regard. He looks like a fierce person at first glance. I'm just worried that he doesn't understand the techniques and won't be able to use his physical advantages. Now it seems
, You really shouldn’t worry about it! Sir, I’m sorry!”
Li Yu knew that they were sincerely treating him well and didn't take it seriously at all. Moreover, he didn't have a strong sense of master and servant, so a more lively atmosphere would be more comfortable.
"No need to apologize!" Li Yu said, "Hurry up and prepare the New Year's goods, just like last year, follow the best!"
Zhao Qian and Uncle Wang quickly and happily responded.
Li Yuze stopped Fengling and asked in a low voice: "Um...what is the happy doll you are talking about? I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little curious."
Fengling covered her mouth and smiled; "I brought it to my husband. They were all found in Liulichang. I heard they were leaked from the former palace. There are also many pictures. Those movements, oh, I'm embarrassed to say it!"
"
Li Yu was even more interested: "Bring it quickly, I want to learn, oh no, I want to appreciate antiques!"
