Chapter 397
After the award ceremony, some guests who attended could go home. Lu Qiujian took his relatives and friends to the Blue Hall of Stockholm City Hall with his relatives and friends to be held.
More than a thousand guests were stuffed into this small space, which seemed particularly crowded; this reminded Lu Qiujian of the scene when he attended a rural wedding banquet when he was a child.
The Nobel Dinner did not limit the number of relatives and friends the winners brought, but Guterbrouber, the winner of the 1999 Medical Prize, brought forty-nine people to have a meal at one go, which made the organizing committee extremely embarrassed and had to find another restaurant outside the Blue Hall to entertain them. The number of people who served the winners was also limited to 16.
"To be honest, I have attended many banquets in my life, but never once did I get so excited!" Professor Zhang said while looking at the snail-shaped cup on the dining table.
"This experience has been enough for me to brag for the rest of my life!" Lu Qiujian's middle school mathematics teacher said with emotion. Although he had thought that his student would be very promising in the future, he never expected that he would be promising to such a level in such a short time.
After saying that, he turned his eyes to Lu Qiujian's parents, "This is probably the banquet that both of you remember the most is the most memorable one?"
"At least this is the case so far, but I'm afraid I can only be second in the future!" Lu Qiujian's mother answered generously.
"Oh? What was the first impression on me?" Professor Zhang asked curiously.

Lu Qiujian's mother glanced at Xia Xiao next to her and replied as expected, "Of course it was my kid's wedding banquet!" Suddenly, a happy laugh rang out of the table.
Xia Xiao was probably the most eye-catching guest tonight. The dinner had strict dress codes. Men must wear white shirts, black tuxedoes and white tie. Women should enter the evening dress. If they wear ethnic clothing, they do not need to follow these rules. So she naturally wore beautiful Hanfu. A red and white long skirt with long red and white curly skirt looked particularly eye-catching between the tuxedoes. Even Princess Madelena lost her luster in front of her.
Having said that, Xia Xiao can probably be regarded as the most beautiful one among all the Nobel Prize winners who attended the dinner, because after all, the Nobel Prize winners are relatively old. When their wives accompany them to the Blue Hall, time has already wiped out their glory.
As one of the most important guests of the banquet, Lu Qiujian was of course sitting at the main table. Next to him was Swedish Queen Sylvia. In a while, he would be the first to take the stage to give a brief thank-you speech.
The Nobel Prize winners in each category will send a representative to give a short thank-you speech of no more than 2 minutes. The order of giving acknowledgements is consistent with the order of the Nobel Prize presentation, that is, first the representative of the physics prize winner, second the representative of the chemistry prize winner, third the representative of the physiology or medicine prize winner, and then the literary prize winner, and finally the representative of the economic prize winner. Since Lu Qiujian enjoyed the physics prize exclusively this year, he will definitely appear in the first place.
Alas, it looks a bit too full! After the exquisite dishes came up, Lu Qiujian sighed in his heart that these dishes were personally handled by the Swedish chef of the year every year. The dishes were prepared from April every year, but the menu must be kept confidential. However, the dishes at the dinner party for nearly a hundred years were the most representative of Scandinavian culture. Main dishes including venison and deep mountain fungi looked delicious, but the portion was a little small.
But the wine looks pretty good? He set his sights on the bottles in front of him, wines made by the Joseph Doin family in the Burgundy region of Beaujolais. They always follow the traditional brewing method and are of excellent quality; sweet white wine from the Castle of Faya winery is very suitable with desserts.
There were two toasts during the banquet, one for the King of Sweden and another for the founder of the award, Alfred Nobel. The scientist and successful businessman made his name remember forever in this way.
It was soon time to give thanks, and Lu Qiujian went on stage to express his own thanks in Chinese like his predecessor, Li Zhengdao, "Dear King, Queen and Royal Family members. Ladies and gentlemen:
When I was young, my parents liked to take me to sit in the large yard of the factory's family area, chatting happily under the cool summer breeze. Every time I could look up at the starry sky, thinking about what secrets were hidden in the distant starry sky? Is there really a Jiuxiao Tiangong, Jade Rabbit Chang'e!
As I grew up, I began to understand that there was no Jade Rabbit Chang'e, no Artemis and Apollo, but the beauty of the starry sky in my heart did not fade at all. Science gave me new research methods, allowing me to gradually realize what the real universe looks like? In my heart, the real universe is more charming than legends!
I would like to take this opportunity to express my highest respect and sincere gratitude to the Nobel Prize Foundation. I also want to thank the teachers who taught me during my growth process. Thank you to the CERN. The long thanks came to an end. "The beauty of the universe is worth pursuing for people's life, thank you everyone!"
The tide-like applause rang in the blue hall, and then other representatives of the winners also came on stage to express their brief thank-you words one by one. The banquet ended in such a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
After spending a few days with his parents and friends in Northern Europe, Lu Qiujian took them from Copenhagen, Denmark and embarked on a journey back to China.
After two transfers, Lu Qiujian and his team started their last journey by changing to China Airlines in Dubai; perhaps the flight crew had learned the news that they were particularly enthusiastic and considerate about the service of Lu Qiujian and his group, and would whisper from time to time during rest.
At Huaguo Jingcheng International Airport, well-informed reporters had already taken their guys to wait at the exit, and representatives from the University of Beijing, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other parties were also on high alert.
The red banner opened in the waiting hall, with the words "Warm welcome to the 25th Fields Medal, 2006 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Lu Qiujian returned home with honor!" In an instant, it attracted the attention of countless passengers.
After waiting for a long time, the flight Lu Qiujian was on finally landed. Everyone who came to pick him up immediately cheered up and prepared. When Lu Qiujian helped his mother out from the passenger exit, the flash light turned on, and he immediately stopped and covered his mother's eyes to prevent discomfort in his eyes.
After the flash stopped, Lu Qiujian watched the reporters speak slowly (to be continued.)
