Chapter 239

if he didn't look up by chance, Yang Guo wouldn't find that he and Professor mills were on the same flight. There will be no chance to communicate closely with this thinker.

Who is Professor mills? He is a professor of Neuroscience at Harvard University, but the views he spread at the Ted conference are not in the field of neuroscience. Yang Guo still remembers that the middle-aged professor stood on the stage in high spirits and released the photos he took while supporting African hospitals, calling on people to pay attention to this almost forgotten corner.

There is a lack of food and clothing, as well as education and medical resources. The big countries are plundering their mineral resources, but they have never thought of leaving a little hope for this land. Why do you let your own kind live like a beast? Why not try to understand this continent? Why is it just taking but not giving? Is this the indifference that a civilized society should have?

Professor mills' voice was deafening, and his tears moved countless audiences. After several years, Yang Guo could still recognize him.

"Professor, I once saw your speech on the video of Ted conference." Yang Guo hurriedly told Professor mills.

"Really? I didn't expect to have an audience in the Far East. Nice to meet you." Professor mills shook hands with Yang Guo happily.

Yang Guo said with a smile, "nice to meet you, too."

"Professor, your speech at the Ted conference was really great!" Yang Guo said with admiration, "I can still remember what you said at that time."

Yang Guo gave Professor mills a vivid imitation.

Professor mills laughed happily and said, "you imitate so well that you are more like myself than I am."

"Where, Professor, you are too praise." Yang Guo said, "by the way, Professor, how is the implementation of your view that medicine has no borders and doctors should be transferred?"

Professor mills was a little gloomy. He shook his head and said, "there was not much progress. At that time, after the Ted conference, many friends from all over the world donated money, but these were just a drop in the bucket. This plan lacked national support and was put on hold after running for half a year."

"I shouldn't have said this plan at the conference." Professor mills chatted with Yang Guo, as if he had found a suitable person to talk to, and then told the story of the year, "I should tell you about my findings in neurology. Mr. Anderson, the founder of Ted, told me to tell me about the field I am familiar with."

"I think you speak very well." Yang Guo asked puzzled.

"No, no, what I said very well is the scene of poverty-stricken African people you saw, which is because I have experienced it personally and had a deep experience. What I said is that I didn't think more deeply and comprehensively about this plan myself, but I put forward a preliminary idea, which is not responsible for myself and everyone." Professor mills said.

"Then you can conceive it completely after the conference, which is not in conflict." Yang Guo said.

Professor mills shook his head and said, "not so. After half a year of practice, I found that my plan was not feasible! Although it looked ideal, when it was really implemented, I found that there would be many mountains that could not be climbed or bypassed."

"At least, you've tried." Yang Guo had to comfort the dejected middle-aged man in front of him and said, "even if you don't succeed now, you can still work hard to realize your idea in the future, can't you?"

"What you said is not wrong!" Professor mills nodded and said, "I have a new plan recently. When I find it feasible after practice, I will bring it to the Ted conference again and call on more people to join!"

Yang Guo said with a smile, "good luck, Professor, because your good luck will be human good luck."

Professor mills laughed and asked curiously, "you speak English very well. Have you lived in the United States before? Or have you read in the United States?"

"No, this is my first trip to the United States and my first time abroad." Yang Guo explained with a smile, "as for why I speak English so well, it's because my profession is translation." Yang Guo has heard such a question from Professor mills many times. Almost every time he meets a foreigner, he has to explain it again.

"So it is!" Professor mills praised, "it's really rare to be able to speak English so fluently. I also visited the Confucius Institute set up by China at Stanford University, where the teachers' English is not as good as yours."

"That's because of different positions." Yang Guo laughed, "I eat in English, and they spread our country's traditional culture abroad."

Professor mills shook his head and said, "no, no, if they want to spread the traditional culture of your country, they must learn English well! Otherwise, how can our children understand what they say?"

Yang Guo was a little disgusted. He thought to himself, "the Chinese teachers we send out must understand your language? Then why do not many teachers who come to our country to be foreign teachers understand Chinese?"

Of course, you can't say that. Chinese and English can't be discussed at the same level. It's not that English is very advanced, but in the general environment, English does have its strengths. Their countries are powerful and many people use it all over the world, so you have to learn English. It is a kind of semi passive communication.

What about Chinese? Chinese needs to be actively promoted by yourself. If you want others to accept and learn this language, you need a lot of output. These exporters, who don't understand English, can't communicate with others. How can we continue?

Therefore, what Professor mills said is actually reasonable!

Professor mills looked at Yang Guo and said with a smile, "this time I went to the symposium in the capital to feel the breadth and depth of Chinese culture, but this is not seen in the United States. Books about your country, or your own cultural books, are too unknown abroad. I don't know whether it's the problem of translation, or whether you didn't pay attention to their foreign publication."

"But if we can't see it, it's hard for us to understand you!" Professor mills said, "in fact, we all want to know what the mysterious oriental power is like? When you are trying to promote the Confucius Institute for cultural communication, you ignore this may be the most effective way."

Professor mills said this to Yang Guo, but he was just chatting with Yang Guo and exchanging his views with each other, but he didn't expect that his view had been branded heavily in Yang Guo's heart.

The power of thought can change the world, even if it is just a humble thought!
