From top stream to scholar

Yu Wanzhou, who was a little embarrassed by the uncle's praise, could only smile and said nothing, but the uncle kept talking more and more vigorously, and finally when he arrived at the New York airport, the uncle couldn't help but say a few more words to Yu Wanzhou.

"Little classmate, remember, don't mess with friends. You are different from our children. You have such good academic performance. After you learn well, you must return to China to build a country. Our country is lacking high-end people like you now. Talent." The uncle is still feeling, it seems that this uncle still has simple patriotism.I can't tell the truth, but I feel that a high-end talent like Yu Wanzhou should return to China to build a country.

"It's different now. Our country used to be poor, but now it's rich. We won't treat high-end talents like you badly." The uncle patted Yu Wanzhou on the shoulder, said goodbye to him, and left first.

Coming outside the airport, seeing all kinds of people holding signs, Yu Wanzhou felt a little dazzled.The New York airport itself is big, and Yu Wanzhou didn't know if Brother Lin Wei had arrived, and he didn't dare to walk around in the airport.This is America, free America, and shooting every day is no joke.The American policeman can't do anything, and he doesn't want to die before he leaves.

He was waiting for senior brother Lin Wei at the airport, because he was worried that the senior brother would call him later, so he didn't call his family.Thinking about it, after seeing Senior Brother Lin Wei later, it would not be too late to call his family.

Standing at the airport, Yu Wanzhou waited for a long time before Senior Brother Lin Wei arrived late.

He said apologetically to Yu Wanzhou, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Yu, I was delayed by something at school earlier." Because Lin Wei knew Yu Wanzhou, when he was at the airport, he recognized Yu Wanzhou at a glance .Apologize to Yu Wanzhou.

Yu Wanzhou can also understand that everyone is in a hurry.What's more, the message he sent to Lin Wei in the capital passed.For such a long period of time, it's not a big deal that Senior Brother Lin didn't arrive on time.Even the plane might be delayed, why can't Senior Brother Lin take care of himself?

"It's okay." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile, "Brother, shall we go to Princeton now?"

"Of course." Lin Wei nodded, "But Junior Brother, Princeton University has a tradition."

"Um, what tradition?"

"You can only go through the school's main entrance FitzRandolphGate when you are entering and graduating, and you will not go through FitzRandolphGate at other times. If you see someone entering the school and going through FitzRandolphGate during the non-graduation season, then that person cannot be a student of Princeton University. .”

"Is there such a weird tradition?" Yu Wanzhou scratched her head, what kind of trouble is this.

To be honest, all he knew about Princeton University was that this school was as strong as a god in mathematics and physics.As for the others, he really doesn't have any understanding. He is doing research every day, so he doesn't have the heart to understand these things.What a joke, Lin Wei smiled easily, "Besides, most professors at Princeton University are quite narcissistic and arrogant. Have you heard of this?"

"I've heard of it."

"When I was studying at Princeton University, I was often scolded by these professors. Fortunately, I was a doctoral student, and the group of undergraduates were scolded by the professors. I was thinking at the time, these professors It's too proud."

"This..." Yu Wanzhou didn't know what to say, "Could it be that I will be scolded by my professor Wei Teng?"

"Maybe, maybe you two will scold each other?" Lin Wei raised his brows, "The whole Princeton University is looking forward to your good show, believe me, junior brother. If the two of you want to have an academic debate, you must It's going to be held at Nassau Hall, and everyone is waiting to see your show."

"Brother, I found that you are not too serious about watching the excitement." Yu Wanzhou said helplessly, "I still have projects to do, and I may apply for early graduation, so I don't have so much time to engage in academic debates with professors. "

"No way." Lin Wei drove the car and said to Yu Wanzhou, "You want to graduate early?"

"That's really... a little difficult." Lin Wei smiled, "However, if you are solving a problem of the Millennium Award, Junior Brother, you may have a chance."

"So, junior brother, what is your next subject?"

"NP-complete problems."

"Is it really the Millennium Prize problem?" Lin Wei was stunned. "You just solved Hodge's conjecture, and now you want to start with the NP-complete problem? Is there an end? I believe that the students in the entire mathematics department will go crazy. "

"However, Junior Brother, I would like to advise you what to expect from Princeton University and the city of Princeton. It is a big rural area, and you will know it when you go there. It is not as prosperous as New York and Philadelphia, but when they come to Princeton, they usually go to Philadelphia and then went to Princeton. I didn’t expect you to go to New York and then go to Princeton, but in fact the distance is almost the same.” Lin Wei said with a smile, “It’s just a matter of habit.”

"It's my first time here too, and I thought that New York and Philadelphia are about the same distance from Princeton, so it shouldn't matter. I just arrived in New York..." Yu Wanzhou scratched her head and said, "Sorry, sorry for the trouble, Senior Brother Lin .”

"It's okay." Lin Wei smiled and said, "I'm going to Princeton later, why don't you take a few photos and send them to your family?"

"That's right." Yu Wanzhou thought about it, "I can take a few photos and send them to my family to let them know that I have arrived at Princeton University safely." Yu Wanzhou seemed to have just recovered at this time As if coming, Lin Wei smiled.

The driving journey was quite boring, but fortunately Lin Wei kept talking to Yu Wanzhou.The two chatted and came to Princeton without knowing it.

Nestled between New York and Philadelphia, Princeton is a unique rural city.The small town is located in the Delaware Plains in southwest New Jersey, covering an area of ​​about 7 square kilometers, bordering Carnegie Lake on the east and Delaware River on the west. ①

Looking at the surrounding scenery, it really feels like a big countryside.

After a while, they stopped the car.Lin Wei said with a smile to Yu Wanzhou, "I rented a house outside the school. When you graduate with a Ph.D., junior brother, if you stay at Princeton University, you can share the rent with me."

"Is...it doesn't matter?" Yu Wanzhou didn't care about the co-renting thing. Is it mainly because the senior brother doesn't have a girlfriend?Would it be inconvenient to rent together?

"Of course, if the younger brother wants to rent alone, it is also possible. The owner next to me has been looking for guests who can rent a house for the past few years. I have his contact information. After the younger brother graduates, I don't think that house will be rented. out."

"Usually, professors who stay at Princeton University will rent houses around the school, but there are not many professors and associate professors staying at Princeton University these years. And many of them contact the landlord in advance to rent or buy a house. As for students and doctoral students , They all live in the school and don’t need to go out to rent a house.” Lin Wei shrugged his shoulders, “If I can get closer to my junior, maybe I can ask my junior about math problems.”

Speaking of the two having arrived at the Fitz Randolph Gate, Lin Wei winked at Yu Wanzhou and said, "Let's go, Junior Brother, do you want me to take a picture of you?"

"It's just right." Yu Wanzhou handed her newly bought mobile phone to Lin Wei, "Take a photo for me, and I'll send it to my family later."

"Okay." Lin Wei took a photo with his mobile phone and walked into the main entrance. Standing in front of them was the famous Nassau Hall, also known as Nassau Hall.This is the most representative and famous building of Princeton University, and it is now the administrative building of Princeton University.He will go through some formalities here later.

Professor Witten had already helped him apply for the full scholarship before, and he only needed to go through the admission procedures.

There were quite a few people coming in and out of Fitz Randolph's gate, and there were even some Asian-faced people who looked like tourists.Yu Wanzhou walked in front of the Nassau building, and Lin Wei took a photo for him.Yu Wanzhou said to Lin Wei, "Brother, I'll go through the formalities first."

"Go quickly." Lin Wei waved his hand to express that he didn't care. Yu Wanzhou entered the Nassau Building, and the formalities went smoothly.After finishing the process, I went down to the Nassau Building and saw a group of uncles and aunts pointing around the Nassau Building.Senior brother Lin Wei was also acting as a temporary tour guide to talk to the group of uncles and aunts. Yu Wanzhou ran to Lin Wei and said, "Sorry, senior brother, I was delayed for a while."

Lin Wei nodded, "Is it going well?"

"Well, I have already got the room number of Graduate College." Yu Wanzhou said with a smile.

"That's fine, I'll take you there right away. Graduate College is relatively remote." Lin Wei, who was acting as a temporary tour guide, said something to the person next to him, then turned around and walked away with Yu Wanzhou.

Yu Wanzhou wondered, "Brother, are you still working as a tour guide at school?"

"What kind of tour guide?" Lin Wei shook his head and said, "It's a group of people who came from China to visit Princeton University. They don't understand the tour guide's strange Chinese, so I just act as a temporary tour guide."

After arriving at Graduate College, Yu Wanzhou came to her room.

This is a single room, and the supporting facilities are quite good.Yu Wanzhou is very satisfied with the facilities, but she can't make things by herself.However, he has no such need.After putting away her luggage, Yu Wanzhou went downstairs to meet Brother Lin Wei and took a few more photos.

Finally, Lin Wei said, "You have just arrived at Princeton University, and you are exhausted. Let's take a rest for the night, and I will take you on a walk tomorrow."

"Okay." Yu Wanzhou nodded and returned to the dormitory.

He closed the door and sat by the bed, took out his mobile phone and sent the photos to his family, and attached a paragraph, "I have already arrived at Princeton University. This is the school's iconic Nassau Building."

After a while, Jiang Xi sent him a message first, "What is that thing in the photo?"

Yu Wanzhou took a closer look at the photo, and next to the tiger was a Latin phrase DeiSubNumineViget.

Probably Jiang Xi didn't see clearly, so Yu Wanzhou sent him a message.

Jiang Xi replied, "I saw it, and I wanted to ask what it means, it looks strange."

"She prospered in God, Princeton's motto."
