138 [Sanghui Hall]

The name "Xianghuitang" comes from the old principals of Fudan, Ma Xiangbo and Li Dhui. Because of the same name and surname, we have to use subtitles instead. Mr. Li has a spirit in the sky and can only smile bitterly.

This is a two-story building with blue tiles and white walls. It was overhauled ten years ago, but it basically retains its appearance half a century ago.

Before liberation, countless masters had given speeches at Xianghui Hall.

After liberation, Xianghui Hall also gathered many celebrities, including the Soviet President, the French Communist Party secretary, the United States President, the French President, and the South Korean President... all appeared on the rostrum, and the world premiere of "Red Sorghum" is also here.

But more often, Xianghui Hall belongs to Fudan students, debate competitions, poetry recitations, drama performances, club activities... basically there are new things every week.

Just last weekend, Song Weiyang also listened to a lecture in Xianghui Hall. The protagonist is Lin Nan, vice president of the American Sociological Society and an academician of the Wanwan Institute of Central Research. The topic of the lecture is "social capital". The core view is: the higher the popular social status, the more opportunities to absorb social resources. At the same time, the greater the heterogeneity of a person's social network, the higher the chance of intake of social resources through weak relationships, the richer people's social resources, and the more ideal the results of instrumental actions.

Song Weiyang agreed with this theoretical view very much, but he had reservations about the subpropositions he had discussed on Professor Lin. He even directly refuted it in the free questioning session.

At around 4 o'clock that afternoon, Song Weiyang stood up in front of hundreds of teachers and students and said, "Professor Lin, your theory is correct, but it may be outrageously wrong to implement. Your social capital theory is based on individual rational choices, so as to maximize the benefits of social resources. However, it is difficult for us to be completely rational in daily life, and even give up interests due to sensory factors. Especially in China's human relationship society, people do not pursue the maximization of interests and minimize losses, but choose to focus on harmony. There is even an old saying that "suffering losses is a blessing". Your capital theory does not consider human relationships and face and cultural factors, just like basic physics does not consider air friction. Doing things strictly according to your theory will lead to big problems."

As soon as these words were spoken, the head of the Fudan Social Department at that time was dark.

Lin Nan is the vice president of the American Sociological Society and a world-renowned sociologist. Fudan finally invited a lecture in China. An undergraduate student in the Department of Sociology dared to raise objections so sharply, just like an athlete who just learned boxing questioning that Tyson had a problem with punching.

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a new topic. My social capital theory, like the mechanical formula of physics, really needs to ignore air friction. When solving specific problems, friction needs to be taken into account. Perhaps my next topic is "Deviation between the Application of Social Capital and Cultural Factors". This classmate, do you have any questions?"

"No more, thank you!" Song Weiyang bowed and sat down.

After the lecture, the director of the Social Department of Fudan personally handed a note and said to Song Weiyang: "This is Professor Lin's private mailing address in the United States. If you have any sociological problems in the future, you can directly write to Professor Lin for advice. Young man, you are very good, but you should be more modest when writing the letter. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I will definitely correct it." Song Weiyang smiled and closed the address. His goal had been achieved, just to attract Lin Nan's attention.

The department chair also said: "Professor Lin believes that you have a great future in sociology. If you can get into a graduate student at Duke University in the United States, he is willing to be your supervisor. This is a good opportunity. Professor Lin no longer recruits graduate students, and he has all doctoral students under him."

"I must grasp it." Song Weiyang said with a smile. In fact, he had never considered studying abroad at all. He just wanted to write a letter to ask for advice when encountering difficulties.

The department head asked: "What's your name?"

"Freshman, Song Weiyang." Song Weiyang said.

"Stay working hard!" The department director patted Song Weiyang on the shoulder, which was considered to remember this student.

This department director enjoyed special government allowances two years ago and will be transferred to the central government in the future. Unfortunately, the focus of his work is "population and family planning" - does Song Weiyang go to ask him for help in the future if he has a second child?

...

This weekend, Song Weiyang walked into Xianghui Hall again.

Although not many people usually pay attention to science fiction literature, the Science Fiction Association actually filled the auditorium as soon as it held an event. Many students just came to join in the fun. Anyway, as long as Xianghui Hall organizes activities, they will come and see if they are interested or not. In an era of lack of entertainment projects, gatherings are the biggest entertainment.

"Please be quiet, everyone!"

Guo Tao, president of the Science Fiction Society, stood happily on the rostrum and said in a passionate tone: "I want to announce it very seriously. Just a few days ago, Song Weiyang and Nie Jun from our association won the Galaxy Award! What is the Galaxy Award? It is the highest award in Chinese science fiction literature! Since its establishment in 1986, the Galaxy Award has only had the first and second prizes. However, this year, a special prize was specially set up for the work "Resident Evil" of our school classmates! What does this mean? It shows that "Resident Evil" is arrogant and can no longer be evaluated by ordinary first prizes. It must be a special prize! A unique special prize! Now, let us use warm applause to congratulate Song Weiyang and Nie Jun on their work!"

"Smack it!"

The audience was applauding loudly, and they all thought it was so awesome. They specially set up special prizes for Fudan students.

Song Weiyang had the urge to roll his eyes. Although he didn't understand the Galaxy Award, he knew that the president was bragging.

In fact, even without "Resident Evil", the Galaxy Award will have a special prize this year, and it will not be cancelled until Liu was born.

This year's Galaxy Award's special prize should belong to Wang Jinkang's "Sky Fire". A short story tells the story of a young man in science who was forced to death and his wife was driven crazy over a decade. It is basically a science fiction variant of scar literature. The core view is "scientific freedom, human nature is the true nature."

Actually, it's very boring, really.

If Song Weiyang was asked to evaluate "Sky Fire", he would not admit that it was a science fiction novel.

With the release of the third chapter of "Resident Evil", the complexity of human nature exposed (Nie Jun's credit, this guy is free to play), and his thoughts have crushed the old tune of "Sky Fire".

The reluctant Song Weiyang and Nie Jun were pulled by Guo Tao to the stage. Li Yaolin, Zhou Zhengyu and Ding Ming took the opportunity to cheer and shouted: "Old Song is awesome! Old Nie is awesome!"

"Awesome, awesome, haha!" the other students yelled in laughter.

According to linguists' research, "Awesome" originated in the Northeast, and was created when it broke into Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty. Some areas in the north also had the term "Awesome". Around the late 1980s, the word "Awesome" was spread to the south, but it has not yet become the catchphrase of countless people.

These guys from 305 may have created new popular words in Fudan today.

"Nie Jun, Song Weiyang, two great writers, please tell your classmates a few words!" Guo Tao said with a smile. He had already seen the science fiction society grow and grow.

Nie Jun seemed to dislike showing off, so he directly said, "I'm the one who wrote it on my behalf, and the stories are all compiled by Song Weiyang."

Song Weiyang said: "I only provide creativity. Nie Jun is the most powerful. The serialized content of the third issue has risen to the level of discussing human nature."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Guo Tao quickly smoothed out: "Haha, it seems that both great writers are very low-key. Then let me ask a question, Song Weiyang, how did you think of science fiction creatures like zombies?"

Song Weiyang casually said: "Inspired by Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie."

Nie Jun said: "Old Song had a lot of goods in his stomach. At that time, he was eating in the cafeteria and casually spoke out the creativity of "Resident Evil".

"I have seen those who wrote poems on the spot, but I haven't met those who made up stories on the spot," Guo Tao was a little crazy and suddenly asked the students in the audience loudly, "Do you want to listen to Song Weiyang's science fiction story on the spot?"

"think!"

It's all about making excitement, and it's not a big deal to watch the fun.

"President Guo, do you cheat me, right?" Song Weiyang said with a smile.

"No trick," said Guo Tao, "Just make up a little story, it's best to be interesting."

Song Weiyang said: "I will only tell this story for 20 minutes. Then no one of you blames me."

"Tell me." Guo Tao smiled.

"Then I'll tell a story about the three-body invading the earth." Song Weiyang smiled brightly. He could imagine that the countless students sitting in Xianghui Hall were interested in "Three-body" and could not know the subsequent plot.

It feels so good to dig a hole and not fill it!
Chapter completed!
