Chapter 300 Chinese Youth May 4th Medal (Two in One)

Chang Haonan briefly reviewed and found that almost half a month had passed since Du Yishan called him back from Donglai, but no one had clearly told him what the "ceremony" that he was asked to participate in was. .

After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be an awards ceremony.

It has been almost a year since his rebirth. Although he has made a lot of achievements and won a lot of honors from the aviation industry system and even the military, it is only the first time that such a serious ceremony needs to be held. twice.

The first time was to celebrate a bat hunt.

Coincidentally, Chang Haonan was kept in the dark at that time. It was not until Ding Gaoheng was pulled to the scene that he learned the whole story.

It seems to have become a tradition.

Neither the two staff members nor Du Yishan answered Chang Haonan's surprised question. Instead, they took him to Tang Lintian's office and solemnly handed him a beautifully framed red envelope.

Obviously, this is to leave the surprise of the lottery to the winner himself.

The name of the award was not written on the surface of the envelope, but before Chang Haonan opened it, he noticed that the organization that issued the envelope was printed in two lines of small characters in the lower right corner——

Communist Youth League ZY and National Youth Federation.

His hands shook involuntarily.

In the eyes of many people, these two names may not have enough presence in daily life.

But within the system, especially in government agencies and scientific research units, he still has quite a status.

An award that allows these two companies to jointly issue...

Chang Haonan already had some guesses in his mind.

Envelopes in the 1990s did not have the common quick-release design of later generations, so he picked up a letter opener from Tang Lintian's pen holder and quickly cut open the envelope.

Inside is a red-covered certificate and an invitation letter.

The certificate is printed with the emblem of the Communist Youth League and two lines of thin gilded fonts:

Chinese Youth May 4th Medal

Certificate

The content in the certificate is concise and concise.

"Awarding Comrade Chang Haonan the Chinese Youth May 4th Medal"

No other explanation is needed, and there are no clichés such as "this certificate is issued as an encouragement".

Not needed at all.

Fifteen words are enough to reflect the gold content of this certificate.

Even if we only look at the level of the issuing organization, the first-class "Bat Hunting Operation" medal he received before is not inferior.

But this is a serious medal after all, and it's the kind that can be spoken out openly.

At this moment, the other four people in the office heard Chang Haonan's suddenly heavier breathing.

No one can remain completely calm at such a time.

Don't talk about two generations of people.

In his previous life, he lived for more than forty years, and the highest honor he received was just being an outstanding researcher at the research institute level.

Big bosses are indifferent to honors. In most cases, it is just because honors that are very important in the eyes of ordinary people are not worth mentioning to them.

Why does the Nobel Prize have to be notified to me only a few minutes before the draw?

One of the important reasons is to prevent the winner from showing off after knowing it in advance and destroying the authenticity of the Nobel Prize.

In fact, before today, Chang Haonan did estimate that he might get some awards for his contribution to many projects last year, but at best he would think about it within the aviation industry system, and at most the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense system.

Going straight to the standard of the May 4th Medal is indeed a bit of an unexpected surprise.

You should know that 1997 was the first time this award was awarded.

Although there is no rule that the first class is more noble than the subsequent ones, from a historical perspective, the name of the first winner is still more valuable.

Moreover, compared with the huge scale of 20 or 30 people later, the number of winners in previous years was usually only five or six.

However, Chang Haonan has rich life experience after all. After the initial surprise and excitement, he quickly took two deep breaths to calm himself down a little, and then raised his head.

"Thank you both for coming here. I remember just now that you said there was something I needed to sign?"

"That's right, there is a receipt at the back of the invitation letter. You sign it and give it to us after confirming whether you can attend. If you attend, it is best to arrive at the venue about two hours in advance. There will be staff to guide you to the backstage. Get in position."

"no problem."

Chang Haonan turned the invitation letter to the end, checked the "confirm participation" option, and then signed his name.

Just kidding, Du Yishan called him back specially just for this matter, how could he have any reason not to participate.

After signing, the two staff members who came to announce the good news were quickly sent away.

Chang Haonan put the certificate and invitation letter back into the envelope and carefully put them into his bag.

"How about it? I didn't owe you anything by calling you back this time, right?"

Judging from the demeanor of old god Du Yishan, he obviously knew about it early on, but he didn't explain it just to leave a surprise for Chang Haonan.

Before, Tang Lintian probably subconsciously felt that Du Yishan must have said it, so he played riddles with the latter for a long time.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Chang Haonan behaved like that when he met Tang Lintian for the first time after returning.

The first May Fourth Medal did not have a collective award.

Therefore, the unit where the award-winning individual belongs is also an important focus.

If Chang Haonan can say a few more good words for the school when delivering his acceptance speech, even if it doesn't bring any direct benefits, at least it can leave a good first impression on all attendees.

"I really didn't expect it before... When I saw those two people in black clothes at the entrance of the corridor just now, I thought I had made some mistake... I was shocked."

Chang Haonan zipped up his school bag, touched his chest, which was still beating fast, and replied.

Although there was a bit of fright in the process, I have to say that the more such frights, the better.

Du Yishan showed a smile of success and patted Chang Haonan on the shoulder:

"Okay, I'll prepare my acceptance speech after I get back. But what I mean above is that the commendation conference is still based on showing the vitality of you young people, so there is no need to be too serious. At this level... just control yourself. .”

Although that is said, according to the meeting arrangements, the winners were only given a total of 20 minutes to speak, which translates into less than 4 minutes for each person. In fact, there was not much room for performance.

It wasn't until after sending Chang Haonan away that Du Yishan noticed Tang Lintian sitting behind the desk next to him with a frown on his face.

"Old Tang?"

It wasn't until his name was called several times that the latter finally reacted.

"What are you thinking about? I see your eyebrows are all squeezed together."

While talking, Du Yishan walked to a filing cabinet nearby, fumbled for a while, and took out a silver jar from an inconspicuous little grid in the lower right corner.

It was the precious tea that Tang Lintian brought out to serve Chang Haonan that day.

"I'm thinking, if this trend continues, when Dr. Xiao Chang graduates in two years, what conditions will we have to offer to keep people..."

"What about this...I can't do anything about it."

Du Yishan grabbed some tea leaves into two glasses, then picked up the thermos and started making tea. At the same time, he admitted very simply that there was nothing he could do:

"But as far as Xiao Chang's situation is concerned, I still suggest that you expand your structure a little bit. His value is not limited to our school at all. If you are willing to stay, that would be better. If there is a better platform or place to go, , then I think we should also encourage and support.”

"Of course I know this, but...well, I wonder if you have heard some rumors that the higher-ups intend to build a number of world-leading first-class universities around the turn of the century?"

Du Yishan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"This is the first time I've heard of it. Isn't there already Project 211?"

As a senior academician, he does not pay special attention to school administration matters, so naturally he has not learned about this matter that has not been announced yet.

"It's different. The standards this time are much higher. According to more reliable reports, the current leading schools are Qinghua University, Yanda University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University and Zhejiang University. In the future, four to five more schools may be added as the first batch of schools. Judging from the current situation, our Beijing Airlines is still a little behind them in terms of strength and influence, but if Xiao Chang can be sure to stay at the school to teach..."

"etc……"

Du Yishan, who was listening next to him, interrupted Tang Lintian's explanation:

"Forget about everything else, Zhejiang University... we don't seem to be far behind them, right? Aren't they all science and engineering universities?"

"It's pretty much the same now."

Tang Lintian shook his head helplessly:

"But their application for the merger of the four universities has been approved. Next year, or the year after at the latest, you will be able to see the old Zhejiang University..."

Du Yishan was speechless.

As a person born in the 1920s, he certainly knows the ins and outs of this.

In 1952, Zhejiang University was split into five in an extremely tragic split of institutions. In addition to being divided into four single-discipline universities, the mathematics major that was originally the trump card was transferred to Fudan. The loss was second only to that of the school next door. Jinling University.

And if the current four schools can really merge into one, then there will be no doubt about their competitiveness.

But thinking of this, a strange idea suddenly came to Du Yishan's mind:

For this new first-class university project, Zhejiang University merged its three separate schools.

As for Beijing Airlines, the first idea that came to mind was to keep Chang Haonan as a teacher...

"So in other words, the value of Xiao Chang is probably equal to Zhejiang Agricultural University, Zhejiang Medical University and Hangcheng University combined?"

"That...I didn't say that."

Tang Lintian said as he picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of tea.

"This smell..."

Only then did he see Du Yishan's hand next to the tin can that he thought he had hidden very well, and his eyes widened instantly:

"Xiao Chang, did you even tell you where I put the tea leaves?"

"Don't blame others blindly."

Du Yishan skillfully put the tea can back into place:

"You wish the whole college knew about this place, but others don't dare to take it out casually."

…

The next night, a special car took Chang Haonan directly from Beijing Airlines to the Great Hall.

In his last life, he had been here quite often.

In fact, this place can be rented for money when there are no major events, and many halls are also open to the public.

But this time being invited as a winner, the feeling is naturally completely different.

The person responsible for receiving Chang Haonan is a female staff member named Hu Shanshan, who is about 30 years old, has short hair, and is very capable.

After getting to know each other briefly, Hu Shanshan took Chang Haonan to the backstage of the auditorium with tens of thousands of people.

And the first thing I did after arriving was...

make up.

There is no way, in terms of the brightness of the stage spotlights, the effect of going on stage without makeup in videos and photos is almost the same as that of black people...

Just when Chang Haonan was helplessly enduring the makeup artist applying some strange things to his face, Hu Shanshan's voice came to his ears again:

"If you need it, we can type your acceptance speech onto a teleprompter, but you have to prepare the manuscript for us in advance."

However, this was Chang Haonan's first time facing such a situation. He didn't think about the teleprompter at all, so he didn't bring any manuscript with him.

"Forget it, it's only six to seven hundred words. If you remember, the total time you arranged to speak is only three and a half minutes, so you can't say much."

No wonder those two people asked him to arrive at the venue two hours early yesterday.

The makeup process alone took almost an hour.

Chang Haonan felt that his whole face had become a lot heavier, and he didn't even dare to make big expressions. In the end, he slowly got used to wearing makeup under Hu Shanshan's guidance.

After getting the clothes ready and getting familiar with the process of the entire ceremony, it’s time to officially start.

Two hosts, one male and one female, took the stage and announced the start of the award ceremony.

For Chang Haonan, this is a childhood memory coming true.

When he was reborn, one of the two people had long since died, and the other had retired, only appearing once a year when he moved China.

Since this was the first award, after introducing the leaders present, the host also emphasized the significance of establishing the Chinese Youth May 4th Medal.

"The purpose of establishing the "China Youth May 4th Medal" series of awards is to establish and publicize advanced models of contemporary youth, guide and inspire young people to actively participate in reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and achieve new progress in the "three-step" development strategy of modernization , make contributions and grow healthily in the great practice of new victory..."

"Now let me announce the list of winners of the first Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal..."

"The position of loving the army and practicing martial arts is sacred, and serving the motherland is extremely honorable. He gave up his status as a national cadre with a salary of several hundred yuan, and chose to join the army as a college graduate, becoming a soldier with a monthly allowance of only a few dozen yuan. Inheriting the tradition of the 'Good Eighth Company' and continuing to write a new chapter of the glorious company, we invite you, the squad leader of the Eighth Company of the Special Guard Regiment of the Shanghai and Shanghai Garrison District of Jinling Military Region, to be promoted to the East!"

"When she was young, she held up a sky for the children in the mountains. From a 4-and-a-half-year-old toddler to a 13-year-old boy, from life to study, she worked as both a teacher and a childcare worker... The second winner, WFTJZ Autonomous County Queen Song Fangrong, a substitute teacher at the single-person teaching site in Dingping, Hexiang!"

"...The third winner, Liu Xiao!"

"...the fourth winner, Li Bin!"

"...The drill bit gnaws at the rock. The object of work is hard, and the work spirit must also be hard. This is the spirit of the people in Qingtang Oilfield, and also the spirit of Huaxia Petroleum people... Qin Wengui, senior engineer of Qingtang Petroleum Administration Bureau!"

Since Chang Haonan's surname has as many as 11 strokes, he is the last one to appear in most ceremonies that do not have a ranking order.

He was used to it, and he could better hear the deeds of the five people in front of him in the background.

I have to say, they are all impressive.

For example, in front of him was Qin Wengui.

When Chang Haonan first saw this white-haired man who looked about the same age as Du Yishan, he thought there was something wrong with his definition of "youth".

It took a long time for the makeup artist to dye his hair into a younger-looking black.

As a result, I later found out after hearing his story that the other person was just 38 years old this year.

This shows how difficult the working conditions of oilmen in the Gobi Desert are.

After reading Qin Wengui's deeds, it was naturally Chang Haonan's turn.

He thought that he would be able to face all this calmly today as he was mentally prepared.

But when the female host's solemn voice sounded, Chang Haonan couldn't help but pull the tie around his neck——

The rapid breathing made him feel a little lack of oxygen.

"The next one is our youngest winner this time."

"Airplanes once changed the entire world, and he is determined to change airplanes. With his young hands and mind, he will equip Chinese aircraft with Chinese wings. One day, your name will be along with the tracks made by China. Flying all over the seven continents and four oceans..."

"Let us welcome the sixth winner, Chang Haonan, a student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics!"
