Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 17 Chapter 17
Schulman frowned, and asked Hu Shi his own question: "Professor Hu, I want to invite this Chen Muwu to study in the United States, what do you think?"

Seeing the communique sent by Ke Yinhan and the praise of Einstein reported in the "Shanghai Times", Schulman has already developed a love for Chen Muwu.

Hearing Hu Shi say that this person is still a graduate of Hushi School today, Schulman gave him another wave of goodwill in his heart.

From Rou Keyi, Ming Enpu to Schulman, these Americans, under the policy of "open door and equal interests", accelerated the plundering of China's wealth and resources, but at the same time they did not forget to adhere to the consistent cultural colonization plan.

That's why there is the Gengzi Indemnity Study Abroad Program. With the Tsinghua Academy, they will collect batch after batch of outstanding young people and send them to study in the United States, hoping to brainwash them with American values ​​through education. In the future, Dr. Hu should be regarded as one of the representative figures in cultivating several excellent agents for his country.

Of course, those who passed the exam are all grateful, and no one can realize the wolfish ambitions of the United States.

Whether as an American diplomat or as the former president of Cornell University, Schulman had the intention of recruiting Chen Muwu to Cornell.

One is to let "all the heroes of the world enter my pocket", and the other is to consider that if Chen Muwu can really make a breakthrough in the physics field in the future, it will be a great thing for Cornell and even for the American physics field. The pleasure of boosting one's reputation.

"Mr. Minister, didn't your country return part of the boxer indemnity as a fund for my students to study abroad? It was because of this money that I was able to study for a Ph.D. I think I can send him a letter and invite him Come to Beijing to take the summer study abroad exam."

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." Apparently, Hu Shi also regarded being able to take the Gengzi Indemnity Examination as a kind of American grace, completely ignoring the old principal of his own. What exactly is in mind.

"Will he really come to take this exam? Since Mao, the graduates of Shanshan Technical College have been admitted to Cornell every year. Talents like Chen, if they really think of Cornell If you continue your studies, he shouldn’t and there’s no reason why he won’t be able to get this spot. So why didn’t Chen study abroad, but choose to work? Does he look down on Cornell University? Or does he look down on American education?”

From Planck to Rutherford, to today's Schulman, it has been proved over and over again that self-diversion is the most deadly.

The reason why Chen Muwu didn't go to Cornell, how can there be so many twists and turns?
It's just because Mother Chen misses her son dearly, and she doesn't want her beloved son to travel so far.

Worried, Schulman continued to seek Hu Shi's opinion: "How about I write an invitation letter, or just go to Qihai in person?"

Hu Shi could barely be regarded as a bystander. He noticed that his old principal was a little concerned and confused, so he persuaded him: "Mr. Minister, are you going too far in doing this? Besides, we only saw it in newspapers. News, I don’t know if this Chen Muwu has any real talents, and I don’t know what he and Einstein talked about.”

"How about this," Hu Shi proposed a solution, "I will first invite Chen Muwu to give a lecture in the name of Bei University. If he really has real talents and learning, then it will not be too late for you, Mr. Minister, to come forward. "

"Can this work?" Shulman was dubious.

"I don't think there's any problem. The theory of relativity is gaining momentum in Bei University now. It's a pity for Einstein not to give lectures, which makes all the professors and students feel quite sorry. President Cai needs such a person to stand up to boost morale."

"Okay then, let's try it according to your method. Our legation can provide the remuneration for the lectures and the required funds. How about the price of 1000 silver dollars for two weeks?"

Hu Shi didn't expect Schulman's offer to be so generous. You must know the price, but it was the same as what the frugal Beida offered Einstein for the first time.

How can a young Chinese boy have the nerve to be on an equal footing with great foreign scientists?
Hu Shi made his own proposal and directly lowered Chen Muwu's value: "Mr. Minister, I don't think so much money is needed. After all, he is just a college student who has just graduated. I think even half of it is a lot of money. It is very expensive for him." Attractive."

"Well, everything is up to your arrangement, and I will trouble you a lot this time, Professor Hu."

"It's a lot of work, what's the point."

Hu Shi, who consciously saved a lot of money for the Americans, left the embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane respectfully.

After returning to Bei University, as expected by Hu Shi, Cai Yuanpei readily agreed to his proposal.

The invitation started two years ago, and the preparation work has been done for half a year, but somehow Einstein let him go. Now Cai Yuanpei can be said to be angry.

It would be a big mistake to speculate that Cai Yuanpei is a gentle and modest gentleman based on the photos taken when he was wearing a long gown and mandarin jacket and small round glasses when he was the principal of Bei University.

Cai Yuanpei was a radical and passionate young man when he was young. As a Hanlin in the former Qing Dynasty, he even personally planned the feat of making a bomb to assassinate the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Although 30 or [-] years have passed in a flash, his armor is still there, and the youth's blood is not cold.

Hearing Hu Shi say that there was a Chinese who could talk with Einstein and was praised by him for his level of relativity, Cai Yuanpei's spirit, which had been sluggish for a few days, suddenly cheered up.

He also wrote in the school newspaper yesterday that "I hope that within a year or two, Chinese scholars will make so much contribution to this important theory that it can attract the attention of world-renowned scholars." Such pessimistic remarks, he did not expect that his dream would come true today ?
Cai Yuanpei felt that he must invite this Mr. Chen Muwu to give a lecture at Bei University, so that everyone can see that we Chinese can also understand the truth of the theory of relativity!

According to Cai Yuanpei's intention, he wanted to send a telegram in the name of Bei University, inviting Chen Muwu to go north.

But Hu Shi said that in order to show his sincerity, he planned to write a personal letter to invite him.

Cai Yuanpei was also happy to see that Hu Shi was so concerned about this matter, because in addition to Einstein's refusal to give lectures, he was also under the pressure of "Luo Wen's case" recently, and he was in the midst of a scolding battle with the Minister of Education Peng Yunyi. It's really exhausting.

So Cai Yuanpei entrusted Hu Shi with full responsibility for inviting Chen Muwu, and thus the scene where Chen Muwu received Hu Shi's personal letter happened before.

Chen Muwu didn't know the ins and outs behind it, and seeing Hu Shi's name at the end of the letter, he was really a monk of Zhang Er, so he couldn't figure it out.

Now the pressure is on his side.

Going north to give lectures, to go or not to go?

　Two more are offered.
