Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin stood on the podium filled with academic atmosphere, his figure upright and confident, like a steady mountain.

Zhong Yuemin's voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a mysterious magic that could penetrate people's hearts, making students who were unwilling to listen to his lectures straighten their backs involuntarily. Although they were not yet listening to his words attentively, it was much better than at the beginning.

A strong academic atmosphere gradually permeated the classroom, making people feel solemn and sacred.

Zhong Yuemin's voice echoed in the air, like a melodious movement, triggering a deep resonance in the hearts of every student. They stared at this unique teacher with wide eyes, curiously looking forward to what amazing words he would say next.

Outside the window, the afterglow of the sun shines into the classroom through the bright windows, bringing a touch of warmth to the entire space. The golden light shines on Zhong Yuemin, making him look even more dazzling. His eyes reveal determination and wisdom, as if he can see through everything.

“Students, the road to scientific research is never achieved overnight. It is a long and arduous journey that requires us to devote a lot of effort and time. However, it is this challenge that makes scientific research so fascinating.”

Zhong Yuemin paused and continued. "Looking back at the publications in recent years is like sailing in the vast ocean of knowledge. This ocean is vast and contains countless treasures waiting for us to discover. But at the same time, there is also a lot of false information and misleading views. Therefore, we need to have a pair of sharp eyes to discover those truly shining pearls."

Zhong Yuemin's voice gradually became more passionate and infectious. He used vivid metaphors and figurative descriptions to compare scientific research to an adventure, hoping to inspire students' desire to explore the unknown world.

"Students, only through in-depth thinking, rigorous argumentation and continuous practice can we find the direction of truth. So, please do not be afraid of failure, because failure is the mother of success. As long as we persevere and have the courage to try, we will always gain something."

Zhong Yuemin tapped the yellowed notebook in his hand gently, as if it were a precious treasure. He continued with a passionate tone. "Students, do you know that these words and formulas are not simply recorded, they represent the wisdom and efforts of our predecessors. We need to copy down these interesting knowledge, which is not only a kind of data accumulation, but more importantly, it will plant a seed of thinking in our hearts. When we encounter problems, this seed will germinate and grow to help us find answers. So, please cherish this opportunity and experience the connotation of each knowledge point with your heart."

At this moment, the classroom was unusually quiet, and only Zhong Yuemin's steady and powerful voice could be heard echoing in the air.

The students who were doing homework for other subjects stopped writing and stopped being distracted; those who were talking in low voices shut their mouths and focused on listening; even those who were sleeping on the table suddenly woke up, attracted by Zhong Yuemin's words.

"Moreover," Zhong Yuemin changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious. "Understanding the work progress of lab members is the cornerstone of our common progress. Everyone's research is unique, and the communication and collision between each other can often spark unexpected sparks. So, don't be stingy with your sharing, and don't be afraid to ask questions, because every communication is a deepening of self-cognition."

At this point, Zhong Yuemin paused, his eyes becoming more profound: "As for going to the library every year to read technical reports published by other colleges and universities, it is a compulsory course for us to broaden our horizons and keep up with the pace of the times. In this era of rapid change, working in isolation will only make us narrower and narrower. Only by bravely stepping out of our comfort zone and getting in touch with and learning different ideas and methods can we stand at a higher starting point and climb to the peak of science."

In the classroom, students had different expressions. Some students listened with fascination, as if they had entered another world; some lowered their heads in deep thought, as if they were digesting what they had just heard; some students had excitement in their eyes, as if they had found a treasure; and some students curled their lips in disdain, as if they did not agree with Zhong Yuemin's explanation. Of course, some students felt that Zhong Yuemin was just talking big.

At this moment, a student who is usually introverted plucked up the courage, raised his hand and asked: "Teacher Zhong, how should we select the truly valuable parts from the numerous materials?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and replied: "This is a very good question! Screening materials is indeed an important and challenging task. First, you need to clarify your research direction and goals, which will help you determine which materials are most helpful to your research. Next, focus on this core and collect relevant materials in a targeted manner. When reading these materials, it is crucial to maintain a critical mindset. Don't just be satisfied with understanding what the author said, but also think deeply about why they said that and the possible loopholes or shortcomings in it. In addition, pay attention to papers that contradict your views, because they can often bring you unexpected inspiration."

As Zhong Yuemin spoke, the atmosphere in the classroom seemed to travel through time and space, back to that turbulent but hopeful era. He stood on the podium, his eyes flashing with awe for history and love for science, and slowly recounted those immortal names and deeds in the history of Chinese science.

"When we talk about the history of Chinese science, one of the pioneers we have to mention is Xu Guangqi."

Zhong Yuemin's voice is deep and powerful, as if every word carries a heavy history. "In 1607, Xu Guangqi and Italian missionary Matteo Ricci worked together to translate the masterpiece "Elements of Geometry". This was not only the introduction of a mathematics book, but also the spark of cultural exchange and collision between the East and the West. They first proposed the scientific name "geometry" and created a series of new words such as "point", "line", "plane", etc., which injected new vitality into the mathematics system of China and even East Asia."

Obviously, many students had never heard of this incident. For a moment, the students were fascinated. Zhong Yuemin continued, "This pioneering work not only marks the beginning of the integration of Chinese mathematics with international standards, but more importantly, it has aroused the curiosity and thirst for knowledge of countless Chinese students, and laid the groundwork for the development of modern science in China."

Changing the subject, Zhong Yuemin talked about the late Qing Dynasty. "In the late Qing Dynasty, as the country was forced to open its doors, China began to absorb Western scientific knowledge more actively. The translation and publication of The Origin of Calculus was an important milestone in this period. Scientists such as Hua Hengfang, Li Shanlan, and Xu Shou not only translated this classic work of calculus, but also clarified many concepts in physics and calculus mathematics during the translation process. These efforts have laid a solid foundation for the development of modern Chinese science."

At this point, Zhong Yuemin paused, his eyes revealing deep emotion. "These predecessors, with their wisdom and sweat, paved a difficult but bright road for the development of Chinese science. They not only introduced Western scientific knowledge, but more importantly, they integrated this knowledge with traditional Chinese culture to create a scientific system that belongs to China itself."

"In addition to natural sciences," Zhong Yuemin continued, "during the Westernization Movement, China also began to explore social sciences such as law and political science. The terms in these fields have gradually been translated into Chinese more accurately. All of this indicates that China is gradually integrating into the world and is embracing the progress of science and civilization with an open mind."

At this time, a student raised his hand. Zhong Yuemin saw it and asked with a smile, "Student who raised his hand, do you have any questions?"

The student who raised his hand stood up and said loudly, "Teacher Zhong, as far as I know, many words seem to be translated from Japanese. I think admitting the facts does not necessarily mean boosting others' morale and destroying our own prestige. We can't deny it with a narrow national perspective, right?"

Zhong Yuemin frowned, thinking that what he said should be fine! He looked at the student in confusion and asked, "Student, please give an example."

The student said confidently, "For example, the word 'physics', I remember it seems to come from Japan."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and asked instead of answering, "Student, what is your major?"

The student proudly replied, "I am a history major."

Zhong Yuemin looked at all the students and asked, "Are there any students from the history department or other departments who can help this student solve his doubts?"

After waiting for a while, no one spoke and all the students stared at Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin sighed and said, "I won't talk about students from other departments and majors, but I want to criticize you, students from the history department. To be honest, I feel very sad for you. I don't know if it's because you didn't learn well, or because your teachers didn't teach you well?"

At this point, Zhong Yuemin paused. He thought to himself that his fault had come back. After all, he was not a history teacher. If he continued, he would offend people again.

However, what Zhong Yuemin didn't know was that he had already offended someone. And it caused quite a stir. Because what he just said made those history students feel very embarrassed and dissatisfied.

They felt that Zhong Yuemin was mocking their lack of professional knowledge and developed an aversion to him. In addition, students from other departments present were also surprised and confused by Zhong Yuemin's attitude, thinking that he was too arrogant and self-righteous.

"Students, my words just now may have been a bit harsh. I apologize to the students in the history department. I do not mean to deny your learning achievements, nor do I want to question your teacher's teaching ability. I just hope that as students of the history department, you can have a deeper understanding and broader cognition of this field."

Zhong Yuemin adjusted his tone to become more peaceful and encouraging. "It is normal to encounter doubts and confusions in academic research. What is important is how we face and solve these problems. I hope you can maintain your curiosity and thirst for knowledge, dare to ask questions, and dare to explore. At the same time, you must also learn to respect the views and achievements of others, and accept different voices with an open mind."

Finally, Zhong Yuemin changed the subject and brought the topic back to the classroom: "Okay, let's get back to today's course content."

Zhong Yuemin paused, looked around and continued, "Maybe many students don't know that I majored in physics. So, the word 'physics' definitely did not come from Japan. It first came from the book Huayingcui Linyunfu compiled by American missionary Lu Gongming. It has nothing to do with the Japanese."

Zhong Yuemin's voice was clear and powerful, as if he wanted to engrave every word into the students' hearts.

In the spring breeze of reform, Woolen Textile Factory No. 3 became a dark horse in the industry with its astonishing merger speed and continuous influx of orders.

Behind this, it is not only the strong market demand, but also the spirit of unity, fearlessness of challenges and courage to explore of the No. 3 Woolen Spinning Factory.

With abundant funds and a flood of orders, the problems that once seemed difficult have become insignificant in the torrent of development, as if all the difficulties were just small stumbling blocks on the road to success.

Zhong Yuemin, the successor who was about to complete the historical mission, stepped into the gate of the No. 3 Woolen Textile Factory with a trace of reluctance and expectation.

Zhong Yuemin originally thought that today's trip would be a simple and formal work handover, but he never expected that he would be greeted by such a lively scene.

In the conference room, the leadership team of the Third Woolen Textile Factory gathered together. Director Wang from the State-owned Enterprise Reform Office was also present. There were also leaders of factories that had just been incorporated into the big family. Everyone's face was filled with smiles that were full of confidence in the future.

"Director Zhong, you've come just in time. We were just about to look for you." Director Wang stood up and came forward, with a bit of apology in his tone. "There was indeed something unexpected about the handover. Since the merger progress exceeded expectations, the original handover plan needs to be adjusted."

Zhong Yuemin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but then he returned to normal and smiled. "Oh? It seems that I came to the right place this time, otherwise I would have to leave quietly. But having said that, the speed of this merger is indeed impressive."

Zhong Yuemin looked around the conference room, his eyes met with the leaders present one by one, and continued: "Since everyone is here, let's just have a small meeting. Director Wang, can you tell me first, how do we arrange this handover work specifically?"

Director Wang nodded, motioned for everyone to sit back in their seats, then cleared his throat and said, "Director Zhong, since the businesses of the third wool spinning factory and the merged factory are highly overlapping and the order volume is huge, we decided to adopt a more efficient handover method. Specifically, we will set up a temporary joint working group composed of key personnel from both sides to directly participate in daily operations and hand over while working. This will not only ensure the continuity of production, but also speed up the handover progress."

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin nodded slightly, indicating that he was very satisfied with the plan: "Well, this is indeed a good idea. It is both practical and can improve efficiency. In this case, who is the person in charge of this temporary joint working group? Which comrade should I contact?"

"Director Zhong, please don't rush to ask these questions. As the saying goes, a train runs fast only when it is led by the locomotive. And you, Director Zhong, are the locomotive of our Woolen Mill No. 3! So, please lead us to run together again!"

"Yes, Director Zhong, we really can't do without you!" Deputy Director Shang immediately echoed.

Deputy Director Zhang also said, "Director Zhong, please take us with you for a while longer!"
