Chapter 121 Come on, let's make the most vicious oath together!
Yu Zhen asked someone to bring out the student who had been hiding in the crowd and spouting outrageous remarks.
What a coincidence, this student status is truly extraordinary.
Soon, teachers and students who recognized the person at the scene provided information.
This outstanding student, already a senior at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, is one of the top science and engineering students who have successfully made it onto the first batch of government-sponsored study abroad programs in the United States this fall, majoring in aerospace physics.
This is a profession of paramount importance to the nation.
The final job destinations of graduates are basically all in high-secret units of the National Science and Technology Heavy Industry Corporation, which are uniquely designated by the mailbox XXX. They are top-notch majors that are "vanished into thin air" after graduation, and whose whereabouts are basically unknown to the outside world.
But that's pretty much a thing of the past.
In recent years, the situation has changed somewhat.
This year marks the first year of formal diplomatic relations and the beginning of positive signals being exchanged between the two countries in various fields of cultural exchange.
Therefore, these top students in their respective fields naturally became the greatest common denominator in the list of government-sponsored overseas study programs.
The other party was "invited" out, looking rather nervous, his lips trembling.
His face turned deathly pale, as if he had lost all his blood.
Clearly, this person knew that he had spoken too quickly and said things he shouldn't have said in public.
Judging from his reaction, he was probably worried that his impulsive words might cause him to miss out on a government-sponsored study abroad opportunity.
After all, nobody's a fool. His sarcastic and seemingly uncontrollable remarks in public were clearly just sour grapes. He had been influenced by the rumors that during the literary conference, everyone was working together to bring down the great writer Ma Yu, and his mind was polluted by such seemingly passionate and righteous calls.
"Don't worry, classmate. Since you have excellent grades and have been selected for the government-sponsored scholarship program, believe me, the school won't do anything to you just because you dared to speak the truth in public. I've heard a lot about the school spirit of Tsinghua and Peking University; they've always valued those who dare to speak the truth, right?"
The people around were completely silent, wondering what the great writer Yu wanted to express.
If I don't care about being publicly mocked, I shouldn't have asked that student with the loose tongue to leave in the first place.
The school officials are already making notes, planning to give this student a good lesson later.
There's nothing we can do about it; the school has just replaced its staff.
Seeing that his words had created an awkward silence, Yu Zhen stopped rambling.
He said, "Classmate, you are about to be sent to the United States for further studies on a government scholarship, and I am also going to the United States soon as a visiting scholar. You said that I am not saying anything nice because I am worried that I will not be allowed to go to the United States. Can I take it the other way around and assume that you are also worried that once a novelist like me leaves the country, I might stay because of my fame and not return to China?"
Don't dodge the question. Everyone has to be responsible for their words. You don't want to leave your teachers and classmates with a negative impression of being a coward who dares to do something but not to take responsibility, right?
Just tell me straight, are you trying to attack me by saying that I'll stop at nothing to go abroad, and that I'll likely do the same to stay abroad?
Such words, which block both sides, are truly malicious.
After weighing the options carefully, the student knew that continuing to cower would lead to the worst outcome, so he decided to go all out and retorted, "That's right! That's exactly what I mean!"
I strongly suspect that you, esteemed writer Yu, openly engaged in all sorts of empty praise and flattery during today's literary conference, all in order to secure a smooth trip to the United States for an interview.
They just wanted to create more exciting and sensational topics once they went overseas.
All you do is spout nonsense during the live broadcast to hundreds of millions of television viewers in the United States, and peddle your utterly nonsensical "pig in the wind" theory abroad!
And your even more ridiculous argument about the achievements of the four decades is the ultimate attempt to pander to the masses!
You are taking advantage of the nationwide live broadcast on the radio to openly fawn over the higher authorities and peddle your ridiculous theory of a quick and powerful nation!
Because you, a fantasy writer who writes novels, simply don't understand how many generations ahead of China's truly advanced industrial civilization is!
Such a level of civilizational superiority... I'm sorry, ignorance is bliss. As a science and engineering college student, I really dare not agree with the outrageous boast that you, the great science fiction writer Yu, have made in front of the entire nation!
In short, your brilliance as a science fiction writer today is no less than it was back then!
I, Li Ximing, would never agree with the boastful claims made by you, the great science fiction writer Yu.
Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. Feel free to hit or scold me as you see fit.
Even if I lose my government-sponsored opportunity to go to the United States because of this, I, Li Ximing, have no regrets.
I, Li Ximing, only wish that the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking Universities will not be filled with the voices of such cultural charlatans.

Snap snap snap ————
Yu Zhen was the first to applaud.
However, very few people dared to join in the applause.
The scene was filled with whispers and discussions.
The newly appointed school leaders were so shocked they were about to explode: "You, Li Ximing, you really are reckless! You're willing to risk everything just to make a name for yourself by stepping on the great writer Yu."
Previously, Principal Liu was transferred to a distant post, and their appointment to replace him with new blood in a time of crisis has involved considerable internal work among teachers and students, with the aim of doing everything possible to prevent such a situation from happening again.
But there are some fools who are oblivious to their own mortality and actually consider themselves superheroes who defend the truth.
How could they not be furious?
"Li Ximing, what you said is very good. Your suspicion of me is actually quite normal."
After all, like me, I also have serious doubts about what you will actually achieve after you are sent abroad on a government scholarship.
Are you also secretly hoping that, by some chance, you could stay abroad and never come back?
Don't deny it, we're all young people. After all, you all believe in this, and of course I do too: people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill—it's only human nature!
The only difference between us is that I always see the highest ideal in China, and it is the new era that our millions of workers have built step by step from scratch.
For me, that is the highest point in life, full of infinite possibilities!
Don't deny it, there's no need!

"I don't deny that if I could continue to be sent to the US on government scholarships, I would certainly do everything in my power to learn advanced technologies and experience. As for other things, what gives you the right to question me? Won't I return to China to serve my country then?!"
"Okay, okay, then I guess I misunderstood you!"
"Then what do you mean by singled me out? Can you still guarantee that I won't be affected by my words and actions today? You can't. I'm probably going to be unable to leave the country now—"
"Li Ximing, how about this, let's make the most vicious oath together in public? Let's say this: Whoever goes abroad and doesn't return, may you be infertile and have a house full of children and grandchildren!" How about it, let's make this oath together!
I swore this solemn oath: if the school cuts your spot, I'll join you in cursing the Tsinghua and Peking University administrations, cursing their narrow-mindedness and lack of freedom—”
