Chapter 98 On CCTV!

Returning with honor, Lin Xiao and the others were obviously very busy during this period.

Although they are all very tired, such a process is always indispensable.

After leaving the airport, they went to a five-star hotel for a meal. During the meal, many leaders from the Chinese Mathematical Society and a leader from the Ministry of Education also came, and various congratulations were also received. Needless to say.

After eating, they didn't bother them. They checked into the hotel where they were eating and let them have a good rest for the day. They would still be busy the next day.

The next day, a commendation meeting was held at the Chinese Mathematical Society in the morning, and each contestant was awarded 10,000 yuan. Lin Xiao, as the perfect scorer and the first special award winner in China, was awarded an additional 10,000 yuan.

Then in the afternoon, they were interviewed by Huaqing Daily, and they were commended nationwide as youth benchmarks. However, during the interview, Lin Xiao,

The interview took place in a lecture hall of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

The person who interviewed him was a female reporter named Wang.

She smiled and said: "Hello, Lin Xiao, how do you feel about winning the IMO gold medal and special award?"

Lin Xiao replied with a smile: "It's nothing to express my feelings. I just achieved my ideal results. Of course, I also want to thank my parents. My mother is a primary school mathematics teacher. It was under her inspiration that I achieved my ideal results." It gave me an interest in mathematics, and I would also like to thank the teachers I met who provided me with a lot of help and made me what I am today.”

The female reporter nodded and said with a smile: "I believe your family and teachers will be very proud of you when they hear what you say."

"I heard that in the two IMO exams, you only wrote for less than an hour before handing in each exam. This is a very surprising move, but you still got full marks. What do you want to say about this? of?"

Lin Xiao replied: "I have no idea. Compared with what I usually study, the questions in the IMO exam are actually very simple. It takes less than an hour to hand in the paper, which is normal for me."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, the female reporter also experienced what it means to face the intimidating power of a scholar.

In an international competition like IMO, only three people got full marks. As a result, it took Lin Xiao an hour to write it, but it was just normal?

The female reporter recalled her experience of studying mathematics in high school. It was really unbearable to look back on. Fortunately, she majored in broadcasting in college and did not need to study advanced mathematics.

No longer thinking about those days of suffering, she continued the next topic: "Haha, you are indeed a math genius. Sometimes I envy you who are good at math, especially at such a young age. You are only eighteen years old. ?"

"Yes."

"It is said that you received an invitation from the International Congress of Mathematicians because you previously solved a world-wide problem in mathematics?"

"Yes, it will start in August."

"It is said that it is a great honor to receive the International Congress of Mathematicians. Among Chinese mathematicians in the past, only about 30 people could receive such an invitation. And you can do it at such a young age. After receiving the invitation, can you also share your thoughts?"

"I still want to thank the mathematics community for their recognition and favor of me, and also want to thank the many respectable seniors I met during the process. I will also make more achievements in the future and live up to their expectations of me."

"Haha, I hope you can get your wish." Reporter Wang said with a smile, "Finally, I want to ask you another question. Why did you choose mathematics as your development direction? Is it because of interest?"

Lin Xiao was stunned when he heard this question. Who said I chose mathematics as my development direction?

He is the man who wants to answer the truth!

However, after thinking about it that he had always made achievements in mathematics but was still at level zero in other subjects, he gave up his objection.

"Study mathematics, it is indeed related to my interest."

“I think learning math is fun, and it makes me think… that I’m doing the smartest work in the world.”

"In addition, mathematics is the language of the universe. Studying it can make me feel that I am approaching the universe and the truth, and this is what I want to achieve."

After listening to Lin Xiao's words, the female reporter felt a little confused and finally said: "I believe you can make it happen."

"Thanks."

…

The interview ended quickly, only four or five minutes in length, which usually doesn't take too long.

Reporter Wang also told Lin Xiao to watch the news tonight and see him then.

This made Lin Xiao have to lament that the efficiency of news is fast. It is almost five o'clock now.

He smiled and said: "I will watch it on time."

After saying goodbye, Reporter Wang and the cameraman left quickly, probably rushing back to edit the video.

Sun Yu and the others who had been watching Lin Xiao being interviewed just now gathered around him and said, "God Lin, how does it feel to be on TV?"

Lin Xiao: "Who is TV?"

When several people heard this, they were immediately speechless, "Lin Shen, you have changed. You were never like this before."

"I didn't learn this from you, you led me astray."

Lin Xiao said not to slander me.

A few people just talked about it for a while, and then Li Huaimin came in again and said to them: "Get ready, we are going to eat later."

Lin Xiao came to his senses and responded: "Yes."

These days, they have a lot of social activities. This afternoon, it seems that a retired official who once worked in education wants to meet them.

The levels he is now exposed to are getting higher and higher.

…

Another latitude.

Jincheng Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

At seven o'clock in the evening.

Today is Monday, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is not very busy. Lin Guowen had a meal in the workplace canteen and was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he and his colleagues gathered in front of the canteen TV to watch the news broadcast.

Although it does not mean that people who work in the government like to watch Xinwen Network, everyone in Lin Guowen and his unit likes to watch it. This is a trend set by their director.

While watching the news broadcast, some people even bought melon seeds and started eating them together.

Men's happiness lies in politics, not to mention civil servants like them. When they watch these news, they criticize the current ills from time to time to satisfy their desire for expression.

At this time, the screen turned and the next news started.

"Recently, the 59th International Mathematical Olympiad in Romania has come to a successful conclusion. Six Chinese contestants achieved first place in the team with a total score of 217 points in this competition, which is higher than the second-place American team. 5 points. In addition, our country’s six players became the only team to win gold medals.”

"At the same time, Lin Xiao among the six contestants was also one of the three contestants who got perfect scores in this competition, and received the special award in the International Mathematical Olympiad. It is reported that the special award is specially for those who use exquisite mathematics It is awarded to the contestants who have solved the test questions in this way. The last time it was awarded was in 2005, which is thirteen years ago."

"The following is a live video of our reporter interviewing Lin Xiao."

…

After watching the situation introduced by the anchor, several people eating melon seeds in front of the TV were stunned.

Lin Xiao?
