Volume 138 [Xianghui Hall]

The name "Xianghuitang" comes from Ma Xiangbo and Li Dhui, the old principals of Fudan University. Due to the same name and surname, we had to use subtitles instead, and Mr. Li had no choice but to smile bitterly in return.

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

Before liberation, there were countless masters who gave speeches in Xianghui Hall.

After liberation, Xianghui Hall also gathered celebrities. The President of the Soviet Union, the Secretary of the French Communist Party, the President of the United States, the President of France, the President of South Korea...all appeared on the rostrum, and the world premiere of "Red Sorghum" was also held here.

But more often, Xianghuitang belongs to Fudan students, with debates, poetry recitations, drama performances, club activities... basically there are new things every week.

Just last weekend, Song Weiyang listened to a lecture in Xianghui Hall. The protagonist was Lin Nan, vice president of the American Sociological Association and academician of Academia Sinica. The topic of Professor Lin's lecture is "Social Capital". The core idea 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 probability of absorbing social resources through weak ties The higher the value is, the richer people's social resources are, and the more ideal the outcome of instrumental actions will be.

Song Weiyang very much agrees with this theoretical point of view, but has reservations about the sub-propositions that Professor Lin discusses, and he even directly refuted them in the free questioning session.

At around four 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 your implementation is probably too wrong. Your social capital theory is based on Based on the rational choice of individuals, so as to maximize the benefits of social resources. However, in our daily life, it is difficult to be completely rational, and even give up interests because of emotional factors. Especially in a humane society like China, people do not pursue interests Maximize and minimize losses, but choose harmony as the most important thing, and there is even an old saying that "loss is blessing". Your capital theory does not consider human 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 this remark came out, the face of the head of Fudan's social department turned dark.

Lin Nanke is the vice president of the American Sociological Association and a world-renowned sociologist. Fudan finally invited him to give lectures in China. An undergraduate student in the Department of Sociology dared to raise objections so sharply, just like an athlete who just learned boxing questioned Tyson's punching problems.

Lin Nan froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is a new topic. My social capital theory, like the mechanics formula of physics, really needs to ignore air friction. When solving specific problems, it is necessary to take friction into account. Taking it into consideration, maybe my next topic is "Social Capital Utilization and Cultural Factor Deviation". My student, do you have any questions?"

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

After the lecture, the director of Fudan Sociology Department personally handed over a note and said to Song Weiyang: "This is Professor Lin's private correspondence address in the United States. If you have any questions about sociology in the future, you can write to Professor Lin directly. Ask him for advice. Boy, you're very nice, but write with modesty. Got it?"

"Understood, I will correct it." Song Weiyang smiled and put away the address. His goal has been achieved, and he just wanted to attract Lin Nan's attention.

The head of the department said: "Professor Lin thinks that you have great prospects in sociology. If you can be admitted to Duke University in the United States as a graduate student, he is willing to be your tutor. This is a good opportunity. Professor Lin is not recruiting very much. He is a graduate student, and his subordinates are all doctors."

"I will definitely grasp it." Song Weiyang said with a smile. In fact, he had never considered studying abroad at all, and only wanted to write to ask for advice when he encountered difficulties.

The head of the department asked, "What's your name?"

"Freshman, Song Weiyang." Song Weiyang said.

"Keep working hard!" The head of the department patted Song Weiyang on the shoulder, remembering this student.

The head of the department already 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"—could Song Weiyang ask him for help when he has a second child in the future?

...

This weekend, Song Weiyang walked into Xianghui Hall again.

Although there are not many people who pay attention to science fiction literature, the auditorium is actually full when the Science Fiction Association holds an event. A lot of students just came to join in the fun. Anyway, as long as Xianghuitang held activities, everyone came to see if they were interested. In the era of lack of entertainment, parties were the greatest entertainment.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Guo Tao, the president of the Science Fiction Society, stood on the rostrum beaming with joy, and said in a passionate tone: "I would like to announce very solemnly that just a few days ago, students Song Weiyang and Nie Jun of our association won the Galaxy Award What is the Galaxy Award? It is the highest award for Chinese science fiction literature! Since its establishment in 1986, the Galaxy Award has always only had first and second prizes. What does this mean? It means that "Resident Evil" stands out from the crowd and can no longer be judged by the ordinary first prize. It must be the special prize! The unique special prize! Now, let us congratulate Song Weiyang and Nie Jun with warm applause classmate!"

"Crack clap clap!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone felt that it was awesome, and a special prize was specially set up for Fudan students.

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

In fact, even if there is no "Resident Evil", the Galaxy Awards will set up a special award this year, and it will not be canceled until Liu Hengkong is born.

This year's Galaxy Awards Grand Prize should have belonged to Wang Jinkang's "Sky Fire". A short story about a young man in science who was forced to death and his wife driven insane during ten years. It basically belongs to the science fiction variant of scar literature.

It's really boring, really.

If Song Weiyang were to evaluate "Sky Fire", he would never admit that it was a science fiction novel.

With the release of the third serial of "Resident Evil", the complex human nature exposed in it (thanks to Nie Jun, this guy is playing freely), has crushed the old tune of "Sky Fire" ideologically.

The reluctant Song Weiyang and Nie Jun were forced by Guo Tao to invite them to the stage. Li Yaolin, Zhou Zhengyu and Ding Ming took the opportunity to make a fuss and shouted: "Old Song is awesome! Old Nie is awesome!"

"Nice, awesome, haha!" The other students shouted with laughter.

According to the research of linguists, "Niubi" once originated in the Northeast, and was created when it entered the Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty. Some areas in the north also have the term "Niu". Probably in the late 1980s, the word "beautiful" spread to the south, but it has not yet become the catchphrase of countless people.

The buddies of 305 may have created a new popular vocabulary in Fudan today.

"Nie Jun, Song Weiyang, two great writers, tell the students a few words!" Guo Tao said with a smile, he has seen the development and growth of the Science Fiction Society.

Nie Jun didn't seem to like being in the limelight, so he kicked the ball and said, "I wrote it as a ghostwriter. The stories are all made up by Song Weiyang."

Song Weiyang said: "I only provided ideas, and classmate Nie Jun is the most powerful. The content of the third serial has risen to the height of discussing human nature."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Guo Tao quickly smoothed things over: "Haha, it seems that the two great writers are very low-key. Then let me ask a question, Song Weiyang, how do you think of zombies as sci-fi creatures?"

Song Weiyang said nonsense: "The inspiration comes from Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie"."

Nie Jun said: "Old Song has a lot of goods in his stomach. He was eating in the cafeteria at that time, and he casually mentioned the idea of ​​"Resident Evil"."

"I've seen those who compose poems on the spot, but I haven't met those who compose stories on the spot." Guo Tao was a little crazy, and suddenly asked the students in the audience loudly, "Do you want to hear Song Weiyang compose science fiction stories on the spot?"

"think!"

It's all booing, and it's no big deal to watch the excitement.

"President Guo, are you kidding me?" Song Weiyang laughed.

"No tricks," Guo Tao said, "Just make up a short story, and it's best if it's interesting."

Song Weiyang said: "Let me tell you in advance, I will only tell this story for 20 minutes, and none of you will blame me when the time comes."

"Tell me." Guo Tao said with a smile.

"Then let me tell a story about the Three-Body Problem invading the Earth." Song Weiyang smiled brightly. He could completely imagine that the countless students sitting in Xianghui Hall were aroused by "Three-Body Problem" and had no way of knowing Response to subsequent episodes.

It feels so cool to dig a hole and not fill it!
