Chapter 378 Questions from top students! Waterproof argument!
After Li Qiwei finished telling the short story, the silence in the venue could be heard.
This was originally a sarcastic joke that made people laugh.
How can it become 100℃ when 4 cups of 25℃ water are mixed together.
But those present are all the elites of this era, extremely valuable college students, the proud sons of heaven.
With their IQ, they can quickly understand what this joke is satirizing.
A and B are almost self-evident references.
The so-called boiling water is just a joke. The real meaning lies in the conclusion of the educator.
And this connotation is so consistent with the current background of the times.
“Everything from the West is good.”
"Western education is more suitable for the all-round development of students."
"We are very rigid here, but Western education is very flexible."
Arguments like this can be seen everywhere.
And now, Li Qiwei told this joke, and the purpose is self-evident.
“I tell this story to illustrate the nature of the educational gap between the East and the West.”
"The essence of this is prejudice."
"The classmate just said that foreign education is better than ours, but he can't tell what is better."
"The reason is simple, because There is no gap at all, there is only prejudice.”
Such a shocking and refreshing view made everyone in the venue tremble.
Coupled with Li Qiwei's slightly majestic temperament at the moment, everyone felt a looming pressure.
Li Qiwei's eyes were like X-rays, scanning everyone from the inside out to analyze the thoughts deep in their souls.
Everyone felt that there was no secret at all in front of Professor Li.
No matter how they hide it, there is nothing to hide under such sharp eyes.
At this moment, he continued:
"Of course, you are all the proud sons of the country, and countless parents say: other people's children."
"Just through a short story, I can't convince you."
"You may even think that Professor Li is too patriotic."
"So, I will argue my case carefully. Viewpoint.”
Wang Jilie, Yu Tianchi and others in the audience all looked excited.
This is the real dry stuff suitable for China.
Ridgway gave speeches in many places.
Some talk about professional physics, and some talk about the history of scientific development.
But these are not suitable for current Chinese education.
Even if Li Qiwei taught the theory of relativity and quantum theory again on the spot, what would be the point.
It has no promoting effect on the development of education and science at the national level.
This is actually a bit like the relationship between internal power and moves in martial arts novels.
If a person does not have strong internal strength, it will be useless even if he learns peerless magical skills, because he will not be able to exert his power.
Now, what Li Qiwei has to do is to change the thinking of students and enhance the overall internal strength of the country.
“There are two logics here.”
“One is to analyze the reasons why Western universities are better than domestic universities.”
"The reason why Western universities are better than ours is not because of education, but other factors."
"The other is to analyze why our education is not inferior to that of the West."
" Let’s talk about the first one first.”
“One of my idols once said: Without investigation, there is no right to speak.”
“Many of you students have no opinion on European and American universities. It is understood through imagination in the mind.”
"And I have conducted in-depth research on more than a dozen of the world's top prestigious universities such as Cambridge University, Oxford University, Berlin University, and Paris University."
"The principals of these schools have invited me to give speeches. I think It has been fully investigated and has the right to speak.”
Everyone in the audience was shocked, this is the real boss.
They dream of the university they have racked their brains to go to, but they are also racking their brains to invite Professor Li to give a lecture.
With this comparison, the mystery of famous foreign schools is instantly revealed.
"These top universities all have one thing in common, that is, they were established very early."
"When the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge were established, our country was still in the Southern Song Dynasty."
"It is no exaggeration. It can be said that these universities have been established longer than many countries."
"So you can imagine how profound their foundation is."
"And this is one. The really great thing about the university.”
“Because the power of time is invincible.”
“Everyone’s time is the same, and time cannot be surpassed.”
“You can achieve what others have developed for 800 years. How can it be surpassed in 8 years?”
“Take the field of physics as an example.”
“I mentioned in my speech in Sakura Country that it is just the simplest concept [Electronics]. 】It took a long time to perfect. ”
“Countless physicists have gone on and on, conducted various sophisticated experiments, and accumulated a large amount of data.”
“It was only in the past ten years that we really understood it.”
“ In addition, there is also the development of physics concepts such as atoms and light. "
"Although you can learn all these experiences and knowledge in only four years."< br>
“But the real secret of physics is not the dead knowledge, but the thinking method and research method in the exploration process.”
"These are the true heritage of a university."
"The insights of those peerless geniuses are all integrated into the culture of the university and turned into heritage."
"This is time The power.”
“So, the reason why Western universities are better than ours is simply that they appeared earlier and accumulated more.”
“It takes only a hundred years to produce a unique one. Geniuses, Cambridge University already has 8.”
"So, no matter what, we cannot easily surpass it."
Li Qiwei's analysis shocked everyone.
It seems that through his words, you can feel the cultural atmosphere of those top schools.
Countless great scientists have integrated what they have learned throughout their lives into the school and turned it into nourishment to cultivate more geniuses.
This is the power of time.
This itself is an objective law and is not subject to human will and blood.
If you don’t accumulate steps, you won’t be able to reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you won’t be able to reach a river or sea.
Li Qiwei has never denied the strength of these prestigious schools, because that is self-deception.
However, God will also grow old one day.
In Li Qiwei's previous life, even Cambridge University would gradually deteriorate.
But people today don’t know that.
Li Qiwei’s analysis made them even more confused.
“Doesn’t this just mean that we should go to European and American universities to study abroad?”
Li Qiwei smiled slightly and continued confidently:
“This introduces the third Two questions.”
"Why do I say that our education is not inferior to that of the West."
"It is indeed difficult for us to surpass those world-famous schools."
"But not easily surpassing does not mean that it cannot be surpassed. ”
“Here, let me give another example of American universities. ”
“The American universities with the largest number of Chinese international students include Harvard University, Princeton University, MIT, Cornell University, etc. .”
"But if we only discuss the field of science, the scientific level of the United States currently ranks second in the world."
"Then why do we always think that American universities are great and that American university education is good in our impression? ?”
“That’s because the American education system is copied from the West.”
“You know very well the history of the United States.” “That’s why Britain was so advanced at that time. The educational concept also spread.”
"So, you will feel that education in the United States, like Europe, has a strict system and focuses on personalized training."
"In addition, the United States is the world's largest industrial power, so it naturally has a strong attraction for Asian students. Attraction.”
“But this attraction just illustrates my point. There is no gap in education itself.”
“Because our education is also created by me, learning from the West. . ”
“The education system I implemented during the pre-Qing Dynasty also adopted the essence of the Western education system.”
"At the same time, I have also made improvements to suit China's national conditions."
"So in essence, there is no huge gap between our university and Cambridge University and Harvard University."
Wow!
Li Qiwei’s analysis made everyone excited.
“It turns out that we are no worse than others.”
"Damn, I've been deceived by foreign countries all the time."
"Now that I think about it, our graduation thesis system is stricter than that of foreign countries."
Everyone talked about it in a hurry Make a difference.
In fact, for many smart people, they can also feel this situation.
It’s just that if there is no authoritative figure to stand up, no one will have confidence.
This is the importance of academic leadership.
This is not the same thing as being able to think independently.
The role of a leader is spiritual.
He wants to lead everyone to build invincible self-confidence.
However, Li Qiwei felt that the fly in the ointment was that these young men were a bit too timid, and no one dared to question him.
However, at this moment, a student suddenly stood up.
He has an elegant temperament, and he looks like the kind of student from a particularly well-off family.
"Hello, Professor Li, my name is Ye Qisun, and I am a sophomore student at the School of Physics, Guangdong University."
Wow!
There was widespread exclamation in the audience.
"Wow, that's not Ye Shen from our School of Physics."
"Ye Shen is the undisputed first in every exam. The key is to lead the second place by a cliff."
"It is said that Ye Shen has received an admission notice from the University of Chicago in the United States, and it is a full scholarship. It is so powerful."
"He also has an even more awesome status, that is, he will be the first class next year A participating member of the Physics Olympiad.”
“He is also the only representative selected from our Chinese university and will form a team with the four from Huangpu Institute of Technology.”
"Damn, you're so stupid."
As soon as Ye Qisun stood up, he aroused the envy of many students.
This is the legendary academic master.
Sun Hai looked at the other party with a dazed look in his eyes. This was his ideal look.
Just by standing up, you can become the focus of everyone, the absolute center.
Ye Qisun became famous because of his own strength, while Sun Hai became famous because of Li Qiwei's relationship.
However, after Li Qiwei’s guidance, Sun Hai had already become determined.
“Relationship is also a kind of strength.”
“As long as I have a clear conscience, there is no need to shrink back.”
Li Qiwei saw Yan Renguang in the crowd nodding towards him. head.
This confirmed Ye Qisun's identity.
As for the members of the Chinese delegation in this physics competition, Li Qiwei had no involvement and He Yujie was solely in charge.
It seems that He Yujie did a good job in discovering a genius like Ye Qisun.
So, he smiled and said: "Hello, classmate Ye, do you have any questions?"
This was the first time Ye Qisun saw Li Qiwei. Although his face was very calm, But in fact, I was quite panicked inside.
That’s Professor Li Qiwei, the world’s number one scientist!
In the eyes of the other party, his first place in the School of Physics is not even considered as playing house.
But Ye Qisun has the pride of being a genius.
He admires Li Qiwei, but he will never blindly follow him.
If you have questions, you must raise them and ask them clearly.
"Professor Li, your analysis just now proves that our education is no different from Europe and the United States."
"But at the same time, you also admitted that the top universities in Europe are objectively better than those in China. "
"Even in the United States, many of their universities have been established for more than a hundred years."
"Since this gap still exists, then we hope to study abroad. Is there anything wrong with Europe and America? ”
Wow!
Ye Qisun's question shocked everyone.
“Good guy, you really dare to speak.”
“You know what Professor Li means, but you still dare to confront him.”
“This is genius. Are you so arrogant?”
Although many people think Ye Qisun is brave, they admire him very much: Awesome!
However, Li Qiwei smiled happily after hearing this.
"Haha, very good, Mr. Ye, your question is very good."
"In fact, I really hope that everyone here can dare to ask questions like Mr. Ye."
“The first lesson of science should be to break authority.”
“I am here to share my opinions today, not to instill so-called truths in you.”
"Of course you can approve me, but you can also deny me."
All the teachers and students were full of respect and admiration.
This is Professor Li’s broad mind.
He is obviously authoritative, but he is still so humble and peaceful.
“Okay, now let me answer Student Ye’s question.”
“At the Chinese Science and Society Conference in Shanghai, I once analyzed the four stages of scientific development.”
“The fourth stage is the era we are in now.”
"This era is a breakthrough period in scientific development. Various new theories and new phenomena are discovered and studied."
"I want to make an important point."
"That is, in At this stage, China and Europe are at the same level.”
"No one knows what will happen in the future."
"It is true that European universities are hundreds of years ahead, but their knowledge cannot be hundreds of years ahead."
"You guys The content of four years of university study may be the result of hundreds of years."
"Those who are familiar with me know that I have published an argument about the pioneer trap."
"And now. The same applies to the scientific field.”
"Although I have said that dead knowledge does not represent real science."
"But our education is the same as that of the West, which means that your learning method is the real scientific thinking method. "
"And the knowledge you learn is exactly the same as that of the West."
"In other words, from now on, your starting point is exactly the same as that of your classmates in Western universities. ."
"In the fourth period of scientific development, everyone is on the same starting line."
"You cannot blame your own university or your own country for lagging behind, but you can only blame yourself."
"So, in my opinion, if you can achieve great results in Western universities, you must also be able to do the same at home." Achievements can be achieved.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself!”
Boom!
Everyone in the venue was shocked!
The stages of scientific development and the first-mover trap come together.
Li Qiwei's logic is impeccable.
He directly conquered the teachers and students present, including Ye Qisun.
However, his next words made everyone climax even more.
