Chapter 495 I Like the World

How else can we say Shanghai is awesome? The World Youth Forum co-hosted by China, France and the UK was held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center. The building shaped like a four-leaf clover is in Qingpu.

Gu Lu was specially invited, but when he arrived he found the lineup was a bit exaggerated. It could be said that this was the highest level event Gu Lu had ever attended.

First of all, the opening speech was given by Nong Xiaochuan, former Vice Minister of Culture and Tourism and Deputy Director-General of UNESCO. There were more than 90 guests on the stage, which is too many, so I will just talk about the domestic ones.

Such as Wang Huiyao, professor of classical literature at Zhejiang University, former deputy secretary-general of the Academy of Fruits and Vegetables, vice chairman of the Huaxia International Cultural Exchange Center, current affairs commentator, senior researcher of Huaxia International Diplomacy Think Tank, founder and chairman of the Globalization Think Tank, deputy director of the national education department, dean of the School of Philosophy of Renmin University...

Oh, by the way, Gu Lu’s teacher, Professor Lu, was also invited.

The guests from abroad are basically of similar level. In fact, many foreign countries have a territory and population that is only as big as a province, so it feels like even the same level is not the same.

The entire venue is divided into three parts: the media area, the guest area and the group member area.

The group has the largest membership area, with more than 20 countries and more than 200 young people participating.

Of course, the American Youth Delegation must be there too. They said they would not participate before just to get more benefits. It is similar to the routine of repeatedly entering and exiting certain international organizations.

After all, as the leader of America and Europe and the head of the American delegation, Williams-Weir believes that he has an obligation to let the world know that American power has risen.

"That's Gu Lu?" Williams' eyes were sharp. "Is this the shock of China's number one genius? I can feel the fighting spirit in his eyes!"

Have you watched too much anime? The leader of the Neon delegation, Yokoyama Kazukiyo, who graduated from the Advanced Course of the University of Tokyo, pursed his lips.

Yokoyama Kazukiyo also looked at Gu Lu, a famous writer in Japan. Why did he seem to be distracted and his eyes were out of focus? As the most popular rising star in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular science, his observation ability was quite sharp.

Everyone knows about the School of Medicine of the University of Tokyo. The top of the Japanese contempt chain are Shiro Amano, Minoru Tabata, and the big cat of Ichimonji, who are all at the top of their fields.

If countries only sent their best students to the previous International Cultural Festival hosted by Zhejiang University, then those coming this time are the future pillars of the world.

"Mr. Gu Lu is the focus of everyone's attention." Gustave, a talented teenager from France who joined CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) at the age of 17, carries a small brown Hermès bag with "Who Moved My Cheese (A Book for Dibo)" in it. It already has Dibo's signature, and if he can get Gu Lu's signature as well, then he will be complete.

Gustav is no longer working at CNRS. Because his family is well-off, he has started his own business.

Upon closer observation, most of the students, whether blue-eyed or brown-eyed, did not listen to what was being said on the stage. They were minding their own business, occasionally glancing at Gu Lu.

As Vargas Llosa said, literature is not a big deal and is lingering on the margins of life.

Even so, literature can leave a deep impression on people's hearts. Even these children who are considered to be other people's children by ordinary people, when facing Gu Lu, they still have the feeling of seeing a "legendary hero".

There is no way, just like Yokoyama Kazukiyo, who heard of Gu Lu's name as soon as he entered college - the strongest high school student in history, the genius of 1.3 billion people, the wisdom from the empire.

Just as every player who can enter the NBA is their own Jordan, they still admire Jordan.

So, what is Gu Wentan Jordan Lu doing at the moment?

The current situation of the Chinese delegation can be summarized by a light novel called "All the members are geniuses, but I am a wimp?"

However, because Gu Lu had seen a lot of things, even if he was upset, his face was not affected at all. He listened to the speeches of the leaders on the stage calmly.

"Look, the boss is alive and moving!" "Fuck, the last time I saw his photo was in black and white!" "Black and white?" "Ahem, I mean it's in the high school textbook, it's the black and white introduction. I saw it in my nephew's Chinese textbook before." "I remember there were excerpts of the boss's texts in the elementary school and junior high school textbooks, are there also in high school?" "Excerpts from The Little Prince in the fifth grade Chinese textbook, excerpts from Young China in the first grade of junior high school, excerpts from Flatland in the second grade of junior high school, excerpts from The Battle for Antarctica in the first grade of high school, do you think I'm kidding?"...

They are all very active. Unlike the stereotypical nerds, most geniuses actually have the advantage of "self-discipline", which applies not only to study, but also to hobbies.

Take long-distance running for example. Xia Maoyu has the habit of running and he plans to participate in a full marathon after the New Year. This is much better than those people who keep shouting about losing weight but can't even stick to running.

I don’t know what I will do after graduation, it’s quite mysterious.

"Smart people have already posted it on their Moments." Xia Maoyu said.

Indeed, Xia Maoyu didn't know when he secretly took a photo of Gu Lu's profile. [Participate in some extracurricular activities after work. The team leader took us to participate in the activities. Oh, it's really tiring.]
What the hell? Qian Siyu, who graduated from the Turing class, followed suit and posted a message on WeChat Moments.

Then within a few seconds, the family group of "a loving family" went crazy.

[Mom: [Picture] The large-scale event that my daughter Siyu participated in (thumbs up) (thumbs up)

Second Aunt: What kind of event is this? Is this young man Siyu's boyfriend?
Aunt: What?! Siyu has found a boyfriend. When will you bring him back to show us?

Dad: What boyfriend? This young man is Gu Lu! He is the Gu Lu that the United States offered tens of millions to assassinate.

Second uncle: I know Gu Lu, he is a very good novelist. I heard that he is more famous abroad than Jin Yong.

Grandpa: Renren News just said it not long ago, Gu Lu is China's diplomatic name card. It's really an honor for Siyu to be able to participate in the event with such an outstanding person!

[…]
Then all the relatives popped up to send roses or thumbs-up emojis.

But Qian Siyu was so happy. The purpose of life is to show off and make her family proud because of her.

There were ten members in total, nine of them posted on social media. The remaining one was even more ambitious, and he wanted to find an opportunity to take a photo with Gu Lu after the event...

The leaders spoke for the first half hour.

The order is also very particular. First, the Chinese leader spoke, followed by Da Ying and France. For such large-scale events, including seating, all order arrangements are very particular.

The event was held in Shanghai, and the opening speech was delivered by Huaxia first. Therefore, in terms of seating and the order of the youth delegation going on stage, Huaxia would be ranked last. This was normal. Over the years, Huaxia was very good at cooperation and win-win.

"I feel a little sleepy." Qian Siyu said in a low voice.

The friend next to him immediately shook his head and hinted that there was a camera nearby and he should pay attention to his image.

Qian Siyu was now obedient. She admired Gu Lu. Otherwise, how could someone else become a writer? It was so boring, but Gu Lu actually listened with great interest.

This is an area that good students from childhood to adulthood do not know. Only poor students have mastered the skills. On the surface, Gu Lu listened carefully and occasionally lowered his head to take notes, but in fact his mind was completely thinking about other things.

“What is this Global Youth Forum going to do?”

Both the invitation letter and what Director Zhao said were rather vague.

Sharing what he is currently focusing on... Gu Lu thought, then wouldn't he only have novels? Sharing the novels he wrote - it doesn't seem scientific either.

The first to come on stage was the French delegation. Their analysis was a bit brief and it was hard to hear much. Two of the ten young people in the delegation were selected to speak, and the rest came on stage to give a general introduction.

Personally, I think the most anticipated thing is the moment when the host announces the show. The hosts of this event are all sent by CCTV.

Can speak several languages.

"Now we welcome Gustave Lee, a talented teenager from Marseille. When he was 13 years old, he won the 2010 Mental Arithmetic World Cup championship and was the youngest contestant in the event. He is the only contestant who got all five mental competition questions 5% correct. He received a master's degree from the University of Virginia at the age of 15. Now 23 years old, he has founded three technology companies, all of which provide APP services to millions of netizens." The host announced. Applause broke out at the scene.

It's really exciting, at least more exciting than the burning winter.

Mental arithmetic and the World Cup? Gu Lu really didn’t know. When starting a business later, he felt that family support was more important… But after looking at his resume, a master’s degree at the age of fifteen was pretty impressive.

Gustav shared his vision, yes, that's right, he founded a "youth advocacy organization" to help young people around the world understand each other.

"I have heard of this organization," said Deputy Secretary-General Nong Xiaochuan. "It is not just for show. It is well-known in Europe. I didn't expect that the founder is a young man."

Nong Xiaochuan smiled again and said, "Maybe he can win the Nobel Peace Prize."

Upon hearing this, the Chinese leaders around him also laughed, and it was obvious that they were more mocking of the award than respecting it.

"More than 200 young people are truly an indispensable force in changing the world," said the vice president.

Professor Lu focuses on different areas due to his own research direction. "Geralt from France can speak eight languages ​​at the age of ten. He is a language genius. But fortunately, our children are not bad either."

Gu Lu felt relieved when he heard about France. The speech did not contain much substance.

But then, the cute Ruth Benjamin caught Gu Lu's attention. He was a computer genius.

I have shared a lot of useful information before, but since Gu Lu doesn’t understand it, it’s like listening to a book written in a foreign language, so I won’t list them all out.

Just talk about the latter, loud English.

"We are shouldering the mission of the times! The wave of digitalization is sweeping the world. The wave was set off by our predecessors, but whether we can stabilize the wave and keep the world's ship moving forward is the responsibility of the young generation at the forefront of the new era."

Ruth is petite, but her words are full of vigor. "The rapid development of digital technology has brought endless opportunities for the progress of human civilization, but it also hides many dangers. We have benefited from the digital development path paved by our predecessors..."

Geniuses always want to conquer the world, regardless of gender.

Gu Lu's English is pretty good, so there's no need to look at the real-time translation on the screen at the back.

The youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), and the current Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella personally invited him to join Microsoft. What a talented person.

Another person, Daying, shared a project he is currently working on - in comparison, what the French Youth Group shared sounded like a piece of shit.

Gustav looked incredulous. It was the British who said that. We will discuss the details at the reception later. There were leaders from various countries present. It would be bad to say too much.

The result? Gustave felt betrayed.

As a Frenchman, I actually believed what an Englishman said...it's outrageous.

Are all the British so powerful? Then as a representative of China, we cannot lose face.

Gu Lu looked down and searched for something on the Internet... Damn! No Game No Life exists, and the movie version of No Game No Life ZERO was broadcast a few years ago.

But fortunately, there is a backup option. After searching again, good, there is no Hirano Kouta and no Iida Umanosuke. Gu Lu is ready.

The two Frenchmen finished, and the next to come on stage was Gu Lu.

The host began to introduce in fluent Chinese:

"Next, I would like to share with you the young talent Gu Lu from China's Fog City. At the age of fifteen, he participated in the literary exchange between China and Spain because of his excellent writing skills. His articles were evaluated by the Spanish Foreign Minister as "like a flower logo, an article that people will never forget after reading it once." At the age of sixteen, he participated in the literary exchange between China and Norway, and was again praised by the Norwegian Vice President as "even a thick layer of ice cannot cover the brilliance of the text."

In one breath, crackling.

Look, since almost everyone present knew the book written by Gu Lu, the opening words written by the country changed the angle.

"From the age of 21 to , I focused on my studies and became the youngest expert in the Huaxia Core Think Tank at the age of ."

"At the age of 23, he became a key figure in Sino-French and Sino-Russian diplomacy. The First Minister of Education of France said that [Gu Lu's articles can save a country]. The Chairman of the Cultural Committee of the Bear Country also called the 24-year-old Gu Lu [the writer closest to Tolstoy]. Let us welcome Gu Lu."

After the host finished speaking, the audience paused for about a second, because in comparison, the four geniuses who appeared before Gu Lu didn't seem to have impressive resumes. After all, those who praised Gu Lu were all high-ranking officials from various countries.

Hua Hua Hua——

Amidst thunderous applause, discussions among young people from various countries were heard.

"Haha, I haven't even met our country's foreign minister." "This Gu Lu is not good, young office lady can play?" "Gu Lu is not that great, these resumes, as long as God possesses me, I can surpass them at any time." "Mr. Williams, can we win?" ...

Amid the discussion, Gu Lu walked to the podium.

Looking around, feeling like he was the center of attention, Gu Lu began to speak.

"Gentlemen, I love the world!"

"Gentlemen, I love the world!"

"Gentlemen, I like this world the most!"

Gu Lu repeated his words, each time louder than the last. He was originally the most famous young man among all the countries.

As the words were spoken, young people, guests and leaders from various countries raised their heads, so what was going on?

The speech content was translated into more than a dozen languages ​​in real time, and as I mentioned before, it was projected on the big screen behind me.

Everyone present could understand what the person on the stage was saying.

"I like the great China, I like the romantic France, I like the tragic American Bear Country! I like the gentleman Daying! I like the bullfighter Spain! I like the quiet Finland! I like the wealthy UAE! I like the hardworking Pakistan! I like the punctual Germany!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the old Yilin. What Gu Lu said was basically the stereotypes of these countries that "Reader" and "Yilin" had in the past. Of course, there were also some personal opinions mixed in, such as the need to include Pakistan.

"I like Fog City, Forbidden City, Chang'an, Acropolis Mountain, Cairo, Nineveh, Selcuk, Easter Island, Rome, Pisa, Vatican, Reykjavik...all the miracles of civilization born on this planet!"

There is no doubt that this will be the most impressive one in the Fog City, no doubt about it.

Except for the Fog City, these cities all have one or more wonders that are hailed as architectural miracles, which can be said to be the crystallization of human wisdom.

Gu Lu continued his speech. Following his previous ideas, he would give some useful information at the end.
