Bai Yi stopped.

Others looked back.

The person who interrupted the speech was a school leader from Peking University. He seemed to have just finished answering a phone call in a hurry, and then said loudly: "Wait a minute, a distinguished guest is coming to visit."

Distinguished guest?

who?

Do we need to suspend the welcome meeting first?

Upstairs, I saw some people from the delegation standing up, as if they were very respectful, and all of them were facing the direction of the door upstairs. A few people in charge even went out to greet them in person. Unlike the Republic of China, Bian's attitude was completely different, and several escorts from Peking University also hurriedly followed to greet him. This phone call was rather sudden, because there was no advance greeting at all, but the afternoon schedule of a team led by one of the senior officials of the Japanese delegation to China suddenly changed. Maybe they heard that many people including the University of Tokyo were arriving. The reason why Peking University participated in the exchange meeting was that one of the visiting groups actually chose this place.

"Who's coming?"

"I do not know."

"Oh, it seems like they are from Japan visiting China."

"They also came to Peking University?"

"Hey, why are there so many reporters?"

The first thing I saw upstairs in the auditorium was not a human figure, but the flash of a camera. About twenty Chinese and Japanese reporters came with them, taking pictures while walking. A CCTV reporter walked backwards to take pictures, and accidentally tripped. , but he immediately got up and continued, not even bothering to take pictures of the dirt on his body.

It was a team of about a dozen people.

The leader is a Japanese official named Matsumoto, "Hello."

The people from Peking University immediately said: "Welcome."

Matsumoto smiled and said: "mn...¥"

The translator said: "I heard that there is an exchange and cooperation event between Chinese and Japanese universities today. We are very interested and happy to see such cooperation. You can continue and don't worry about us."

When the big shot came, he was naturally invited to the front row upstairs. Of course, the people from the Japanese University delegation sat later to free up the front row seats. The other seats were of course filled by the people accompanying the Peking University and the official personnel of the Republic of China who accompanied the delegation.

Someone saw several familiar faces inside, including several officials from the education sector of the Republic. They all accompanied the visiting delegation to China this time.

A republican official said to people from Peking University, "Go on, don't interrupt the event because of us."

The people from Peking University nodded, "Okay, Teacher Bai was giving a speech just now, then... let's continue." He gestured and made a few gestures.

The Peking University students were all silent, and some of them looked upstairs frequently. They had never seen so many important people before, and they couldn't help but dare not whisper.

Bai Yi was also very surprised when he saw that the people visiting China had been alarmed. For a moment, he felt as if he had been on stimulants. His back was much straighter and he was a little nervous. He took a deep breath and calmed down. Then he opened his mouth and continued his speech: "What we are interested in in Japan now are on the cultural level, but there are also some things on the institutional level and the political level. There are things that we have not yet achieved - Japan has done it, and Western countries have done it. Western countries and Japan are consistent in this regard, so Western countries take it for granted. In the eyes of Western countries, Japan is a literate Japan with political- Japan is governed by Japan, Japan has history. Therefore, our feelings are more complicated than those of Westerners."

He is not a Chinese professional, and his speech is not as neat and coherent as Professor Yan's, but it still expresses the core point of view.

"When we pay attention to Japan, we regard Japan as the other, have a reference, and then pay attention to Japan. But this kind of attention is undoubtedly due to expectations for the Republic itself, based on the coordinate of the Republic's own development, and As the other, in fact, the problem consciousness is undoubtedly that of the Republic. We can start from our own problem consciousness and then pay attention to Japan, and regard Japan as the other object of attention. But such expressions should have The premise is that we must give everyone a comprehensive perspective and observation, and cannot present it to others with a half-toned observation or an incomplete thing, which is not fair enough to Japan."

Some people are suspicious of this view, but many people understand it. It is really rare to talk about Japanese thinking from this perspective.

Matsumoto upstairs nodded frequently and whispered to another official next to him.

Bai Yi: "We must start from ourselves and learn to forgive..."

Bai Yi: "We must start from ourselves and learn to respect..."

One point after another, and finally, "Without understanding, there is no right to speak. We must learn to understand another person and another country, and we must learn to forgive and respect another person and another country. Well, this is what I want to say, My speech is over, thank you all." Bow.

Matsumoto took the lead in applauding

The same goes for the people visiting China

Students and teachers from the University of Tokyo also clapped together, very enthusiastically

Only the Peking University students downstairs seemed very silent. Some of them applauded, but their eyes were very empty and their clapping movements were very mechanical. Many of them felt a tightness in their chests and felt that their speeches were reasonable, but But I can't accept it, something feels wrong

So do some Peking University teachers.

Su Na breathed in and out, really regretting it.

Another fifty-year-old history professor also had a straight face and said nothing.

respect?

forgive? ?

At this moment, many people had something to say in their hearts, but they couldn't say it, and they didn't know how to say it, especially since the Japanese delegation and the university delegation were all sitting upstairs, so , they can only applaud and go with the flow.

A female student from Peking University murmured to herself, "The previous attitude was really something we did wrong? Is it meaningless? We should learn to forgive?"

The freshman next to him shook his head, "I don't know either."

Another freshman who was in the same class as them said: "Professor Yan and Teacher Bai both said that, and it must be reasonable. Alas, I just feel a little stuck in my heart, and I don't know where it is."

One student said: "We really can't throw away all the Nissan stuff."

Yao Mi in the back row also fell silent.

Li Lida said: "Mimi, what's wrong with you?"

Yao Mi clenched her fists and said, "I don't feel very well and want to go back."

"Are you feeling well?" Li Ying asked with concern.

Senior Sister Song, who was sitting next to her, said with a dark face: "She must be feeling uncomfortable, and so am I. I feel like I am holding a breath in my chest and can't let it out."

Senior Zhou is also thinking about Teacher Bai's speech, "Forgiveness?"

At this time, the host came to the stage and announced, "Now, I would like to invite the famous mathematician Zhang Ye, a teacher from the Department of Mathematics of Peking University, to give an academic lecture. Everyone is welcome." He did not mention the Dell Conjecture because this was a more official and formal occasion. Dell Conjecture It has not been verified yet, so it cannot be said that it has been cracked by Zhang Ye.

applause.

However, many of the Peking University teachers and students in the audience were still rather dull.

A staff member from Peking University upstairs introduced the visiting group to China, "This is Zhang Ye, a mathematician who made a major breakthrough in proving the Dell conjecture."

Matsumoto said oh.

That Japanese mathematician interjected and said to Matsumoto and others: "The Dell conjecture has not been verified yet, and the result is not certain yet."

These words were not translated.

Matsumoto and several Japanese officials nodded and looked at Zhang Ye with interest.

Other Japanese and Japanese delegations to China and university delegations also paid attention to Zhang Ye, including those Chinese and Japanese reporters. They all turned their cameras on Zhang Ye and wanted to hear how he solved the Dell Conjecture.

The atmosphere upstairs and downstairs is completely different, a feeling of ice and fire.

Zhang Ye walked up to the stage with his speech script and naturally felt the state of the Peking University students. Over there, Professor Yan had already gone upstairs after his speech to accompany the visiting Chinese delegation. Bai Yi also went upstairs after getting off the stage. He walked quickly, probably in a hurry to meet the Japanese officials. Zhang Ye just looked at this person, then at that person, then glanced upstairs and then downstairs. The scenery was different and very lively.

The host quickly winked.

Su Na didn't understand either. What happened to Zhang Ye?

Dean Pan looked at him. Did he forget his words? Does your memory still forget? If not, just read the manuscript. Isn’t it in your hand?

Forgiveness and respect?

Zhang Ye also asked himself in his mind.

Then he held the manuscript in front of him and took a look at it. He knew that at this time when everyone was paying attention, when the visiting delegation to China was in person, and in this environment of Sino-Japanese friendship, he should stay out of it. You love Just say whatever you want, I just read the manuscript and completed the task. He really thought so, so he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't pronounce a word. There seemed to be a voice in his head. Shout to him, keep shouting to him.

He lowered his hand, looked around, slowly placed the manuscript on the podium, held the microphone tightly, and finally spoke.

As soon as he spoke, everyone who was waiting to hear Zhang Ye's academic report and Dell's conjecture was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Ye said in a soft voice: "The Prime Minister of Japan visited the Republic, the Japanese delegation to China visited Peking University, and many Chinese people cheered: China-Japan friendship has turned a new page. "

It suddenly became quiet upstairs

Matsumoto listened to the translation and looked suspicious.

Professor Yan was stunned.

Bai Yi also stared at Zhang Ye who was on the rostrum downstairs.

All Chinese and foreign reporters, all teachers and students of Peking University, and even many students who had been immersed in the previous two lectures, suddenly raised their eyes in shock.

Zhang Ye said lightly: "Professor Yan's new thinking on Japan has found a footnote, and Teacher Bai's theory of goodwill towards Japan has been put into practice. Some people cry out that the Chinese people are not as good as those in Qianzhong, and there are more Japanese people. Some people are sad that the Chinese people are not as good as those in Qianzhong. Japan is civilized and courteous, and some people even cursed the Chinese people for their narrow-mindedness, nationalism, and lack of great-power demeanor... It seems that the abnormal relations between China and Japan in the decades after the war were all caused by our republic. We should turn over history and face the future. , to open up a new situation in Sino-Japanese friendly relations.”

one second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

"Pooh"

In the complete silence, the word "Bah" suddenly resounded through the auditorium without any warning, startling everyone and making everyone break into a cold sweat.

Zhang Ye slapped the table, "Why should I forgive you Japan?"
