The leader's interview lasted for a total of one hour, condensed into the 7 o'clock news, with only 1 minute and 30 seconds of reporting time.

But its influence radiates to 1.4 billion Chinese people, and even many overseas Chinese or overseas Chinese will watch the seven o'clock news.

The leader praised Liu Yichen as the greatest mathematician since the founding of the Republic, who has made great contributions to the Chinese mathematics community and contributed to the world's mathematics community. He believed that with this outstanding role model, there will be more and more mathematicians.

Young people with mathematical talents devote themselves to mathematical research.

Liu Yichen felt flattered by the leader's high praise. This was simply an official declaration that he was a banner figure in the Chinese mathematics community, establishing his transcendent status in the mathematics community.

This was followed by two exclusive interviews from CCTV. One was the "Face to Face" program. "Face to Face" is a long-form exclusive interview program of CCTV. It is broadcast on CCTV every Sunday at 21:30. Liu Yichen had logged into the "Face to Face" program once before.

, at that time, he appeared on the "Face to Face" program as a young entrepreneur, and the interviewer was Dong Qian.

But this time, the host was Shui Junyi!

This person is also a very legendary host. He has served as the host, reporter, and producer of CCTV's "Oriental Time and Space" and "Focus Interview" since 1993. From 2004 to 2009, he hosted "High-end Interview". His interview career so far

He has interviewed hundreds of celebrities and political figures, and has traveled all over the world. In 2003, he was awarded the title of "China's Ten Outstanding Youths", and has won the "Golden Microphone" Award and the CCTV Top Ten Host Award many times.

Liu Yichen also did not expect that this time the host of "Face to Face" would be Shui Junyi. You must know that this person has not hosted "Face to Face" for a long time.

"Academician Liu, if you have any taboos or inconvenient questions to ask during the interview, you can tell me." Shui Junyi seemed very approachable.

"It's okay, I think with your ability as a host, you will be able to grasp it." Liu Yichen said with a smile.

He also admired Shui Junyi. Being able to be the best in a field is not an easy task in itself. What's more important is that he has such a great reputation but does not leave, but continues to work in his own job.

It emits light and heat, which is extremely rare.

If Shui Junyi left for another satellite TV station, his income would be at least ten times that of CCTV.

Although the largest media platform in China is undoubtedly CCTV, this does not mean that the income level of CCTV hosts is high. On the contrary, CCTV hosts have good hosting skills but their income is not high, about three to four hundred thousand a year.

, that is, the income of ordinary white-collar workers in Beijing.

Although this income is certainly higher than that of ordinary farmers, it is really not that high compared to stars in the entertainment industry. However, some program hosts on local satellite TV earn millions or even tens of millions.

Liu Yichen knew that the host Kang Hui, who often appeared on TV news cameras, did not even buy a house, but lived in the dormitory of his work unit.

Therefore, although the entire society has turned to the pursuit of material life, it cannot kill them all with a stick. There are also a group of people who pursue the ideal of life and the value of life more than the amount of money.

"Okay, then our talk show will begin!" Shui Junyi said. After Liu Yichen nodded, Shui Junyi made an OK gesture to the cameraman and lighting engineer.

And this also means that the interview officially begins.

The content of the interview did not have any over-the-top content. It did not involve Liu Yichen’s status as a rich man. It was more about Liu Yichen’s learning and growth process, such as some interesting things in elementary school and junior high school, as well as his extremely dazzling rise in high school, and then to college.

turmoil and many honors.

"Do you think, why China could not produce great mathematicians before?" After the interview gradually deepened, Shui Junyi asked a more pointed question.

"This problem is more complicated and has many aspects." Liu Yichen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Generally speaking, Chinese students do not see the best part of mathematics, but they are very happy if they just solve the problem well.

I feel very happy when I have done the questions well and passed the exam. But the true meaning of mathematics is not to do the questions. You must be able to develop some good directions and good questions. You must be able to do them. At the same time, you must find a path for yourself.

road."

"Another point is that students in China work too hard. The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge. It can be said to be a single-plank bridge that affects the entire life. Thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge. Schools and parents constantly put pressure on their children. All purposes revolve around the college entrance examination.

Getting high scores in the college entrance examination and then going to a good university means that students have no time to play in elementary school or middle school. When they get to college, they completely let go of playing and no longer want to study." Liu Yichen sighed.

"We have achieved good results in competitions in primary and secondary schools, and we have always won. This shows that we Chinese people are not stupid, but why are we not as good as others all of a sudden when we get to university? This is a big problem, involving all aspects, including schools

Factors include family education factors and social environment factors. Of course, our Chinese universities must also bear part of the responsibility." Liu Yichen said: "The reform of the education system has never stopped. In fact, many of us know the problem.

They are all trying to explore and change. The road to reform has never stopped, but until now we have not explored a path that is most suitable for us."

"Then do you think the education system in Europe and the United States is worth learning from? If there are ready-made examples, can we just copy them?" Shui Junyi asked.

"European and American education systems are rooted in their unique cultures. The European and American education systems are truly elite education, concentrating advantageous educational resources on the elite. Only the children of the rich and students with sufficient talents can enjoy advantageous education. As for ordinary people,

Most of the children from white-collar families can only go to ordinary universities or even vocational schools." Liu Yichen shook his head: "And we in China also have our own unique culture. It has been 1,400 years since the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty.

It has been five hundred years, and for such a long time, a path of advancement has been left for common people, so that ordinary people can move up through reading."

"If we in China also engage in elite education, then the vast majority of people will not be able to go to college, and their destiny will be fixed there, and it will be difficult to really change their destiny. In our China, if someone dares to do this, then I want to bury it

The gene of "Wang Hou Ning has the kind" in the bones of every Chinese will explode, and some people will learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and shout, "Wang Hou Ning has the kind"!" Liu Yichen gave a negative answer: "From two thousand years ago,

Many years ago, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted, "Wang Houning has the kind of talent," China realized the power of the common people and wanted to implement elite education and cut off the path of the vast majority of people, which was undoubtedly self-destruction."

"So, we can learn from some excellent aspects of the European and American education systems, but there is absolutely no way to apply them step by step," Liu Yichen said.

After discussing this issue, Shui Junyi asked an interesting question: "As a mathematician, what do you think of the Olympiad?"

"The Mathematical Olympiad looks for difficult questions, and he ignores many important questions, so he can get first place in the Mathematical Olympiad, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can grow in mathematics," Liu Yichen said.

"Does that mean that the setting of the Mathematical Olympiad itself is unreasonable?" Shui Junyi asked curiously.

"The Mathematical Olympiad tests only a very small part of mathematics. There are small parts of the Mathematical Olympiad questions that are interesting, but you can't talk about them, because if you get the gold medal, you will be great." Liu Yichen said: "I am the same.

As someone who has participated in the Mathematical Olympiad competition, I think I still have a certain say in this. Of course, it is undeniable that being able to win the Mathematical Olympiad gold medal itself also shows that you have a certain degree of mathematical talent and relatively solid mathematical knowledge. Such a person can be cultivated.

It will be easier."

"But I think that talent and foundation are very important, and interest is equally important. Many people with mathematical talents often fail to become outstanding mathematicians. A very important reason is because they have no interest in mathematics." Liu Yichen said:

"So when I founded Kowloon University in China, one of my ideas is to let students choose the majors and subjects they are interested in, and encourage them to explore their own interests. If they are interested, they will be willing to study, instead of being forced or forced

Those who insist on learning will never go far on the academic road."

"To be honest, when choosing a major during the current college entrance examination, candidates choose a major blindly. They may choose what their relatives and friends think is good, or they may hear that a certain major is good for employment, but they do not think about what they are really interested in.

, and then I filled in my major in a daze." Liu Yichen said.

"Do you think Kowloon University will produce Nobel Prize winners and Fields Medal winners?" Shui Junyi asked.

"Yes, I am very confident about this. We Chinese are not stupid. On the contrary, we are very smart. We just need to create a good environment and conditions for geniuses to grow up and win Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals."

It's just a matter of course." Liu Yichen responded affirmatively: "Of course, I think one thing needs to be explained. Any research is never aimed at awards. Awards are only incidental to the results and are just the icing on the cake. If

Doing research for the sake of awards is putting the cart before the horse."

This is also what Liu Yichen dislikes about Chinese universities and research institutions. They are full of very strong utilitarianism, which makes the entire academic circle very impetuous. Papers are flooded, fraud, plagiarism, etc. emerge one after another. The result is 1%.

None of the papers are necessarily valuable.

The same is true for new energy vehicles. Because of the rise of the Kowloon era, the concept of new energy vehicles has become popular around the world. The result is that many people are flocking to new energy vehicles. Instead of making cars properly, they are going to get subsidies and make money through subsidies.
