Chapter 3134: with translation of chapter title

After the music performance ended, the live broadcast switched to the Nobel Prize award ceremony venue, with simultaneous interpreters doing the translation, Professor Zhang Jiaoshou asked curiously, "What did Doctor Zheng and the King of Sweden just say?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the host's expression immediately turned solemn, even mixed with a few strands of strange emotion.

She frowned and said, "The spoken-language expert said that the King of Sweden initially gave a polite greeting, saying, Doctor Zheng, your work is very meaningful."

This is the most ordinary greeting, equivalent to casually shouting 'Come on!' on the sports field. It's merely an affirmation and Praise for the act of winning the Nobel Prize, and should carry no other meaning. The earlier speculation about personal friendship was just a joke; it simply doesn't exist.

"What did Doctor Zheng say?" Professor Zhang Jiaoshou blurted out.

"Doctor Zheng…… first said 'meaning' in Chinese? Then he said, nothing." The host felt a bit embarrassed; even though she was far away in her home country, she almost felt embarrassed and ashamed for Doctor Zheng's rudeness.

Connecting those scenes from the award ceremony, Professor Zhang Jiaoshou vaguely guessed something.

"Then the King asked, 'Zheng, nothing? Completely meaningless?'" the host said, "Doctor Zheng had already left by then, and then turned around—perhaps he also felt he had misspoken, so he said another word, everything."

After briefly describing the conversation, the host felt that it was just an award ceremony, yet Doctor Zheng managed to mess it up, which really damages the international image.

Wouldn't it be better to say nothing at all? Everyone is just going through the motions, watching the excitement. This is a personal highlight moment; under the light curtain of the letter N, how many people want to enjoy such a highlight moment but cannot obtain it.

It seems harder to mess up than to simply enjoy the highlight moment, yet this Doctor Zheng managed to do exactly that.

Really… I don't know how many foreign media will make a fuss over this matter.

"Wonderful!" Professor Zhang Jiaoshou sitting on the sofa opposite the host suddenly exclaimed loudly, startling the host.

"Huh?"

"Two simple words, yet their meaning is hard to explain clearly in a short time." Professor Zhang Jiaoshou said.

"Are you okay?" The host looked at Professor Zhang Jiaoshou with contempt, she didn't say anything, but everything was implied in silence. "Do you really have to grovel to him like that?" It's utterly shameless, completely shameless.

Besides, you're a sociology professor with no connection to medicine—why bother sucking up like that?

"Your work is very meaningful, Doctor Zheng said nothing—this is Chinese-style modesty, which can also be understood as..." Professor Zhang Jiaoshou paused, organizing his words.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Combining Doctor Zheng's later gestures and everything, we can make a superficial interpretation—medical work has no meaning whatsoever, yet it also possesses supreme significance!"

That statement is a bit convoluted; the host asked doubtfully, "It's like what Mr. Mo Yan said when he accepted his award—that compared to science, literature really has no use. But perhaps the greatest use of literature is precisely that it has no use?"

"Similar, but with an essential difference." Professor Zhang Jiaoshou found it increasingly mysterious as he thought, and continued, "Nothing, in the context of Doctor Zheng's work and research field, can be said to have no meaning—it's merely a polite remark. But Doctor Zheng practices medicine; he is a doctor facing every living patient. A tips Shou Bing, for patients with other illnesses, is essentially nothing."

That sounds a bit far-fetched, the host looked at Professor Zhang Jiaoshou in astonishment.

"Putting it in plain terms, for the whole, a certain research project placed in the long river of history is merely nothing—this is Doctor Zheng's modest remark."

"But later..."

"But for each individual patient, I looked up the data earlier: the patients undergoing tips Shou Bing are those with end-stage liver cirrhosis, massive ascites, or who may vomit blood, with especially poor quality of life. For such patients, it is not meaningless at all; rather, it carries supreme significance!"

The host pondered Professor Zhang Jiaoshou's words, and she was stunned. Could it still be interpreted this way? Had she failed to grasp the deep meaning hidden in Doctor Zheng's words?

A voice in the earpiece notified that the feed should switch back to the live studio; the host was just about to change the topic, but Professor Zhang Jiaoshou continued speaking with great enthusiasm, "This is only from the perspective of disease diagnosis and treatment—what if we place it in the long river of history?"

"The profession of doctor, to heal the sick and save lives, is the most basic moral concept."

"Professor Zhang..." the host said, finding it hard to listen any further.

"Let me finish." Professor Zhang Jiaoshou, obviously somewhat excited, interrupted the host's words.

"Besides healing the sick and saving lives, they create no other value; nothing is Doctor Zheng's way of expressing it. But if there were no doctors, average lifespan would be under thirty years—how could human society develop? The progress of civilization is just like this: generation after generation strives continuously. Except for a few geniuses, after thirty, by absorbing the experience of predecessors and standing on the shoulders of giants, one can see farther. The saying 'to see a thousand miles further, climb one more story' means exactly that."

"To achieve a breakthrough, one also needs luck and coincidence. But summarizing predecessors' experience is essential. Doctors and other professionals, by extending society's overall survival time, make many new discoveries, inventions, and creations possible. Thus, that is also what Doctor Zheng meant by having supreme significance."

This is within the realm of sociology, leaving the host looking completely bewildered.

She smiled awkwardly yet politely, but deep down she thought Professor Zhang Jiaoshou was just playing with words, saying things that are essentially meaningless.

"Having no meaning yet possessing supreme significance—these two sentences could even be said to summarize the Nobel Prize." Professor Zhang Jiaoshou continued, "Is the Nobel Prize meaningful? Yes! But it also has no meaning. As everyone knows, Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics, yet the award-winning work had nothing to do with relativity, because the judges believed they hadn't fully understood relativity."

"Not understanding, yet thinking it impressive—if Einstein hadn't received the Nobel Prize, the award would lack fairness, so they held their nose and gave him one. From this perspective, the Nobel Prize truly has no meaning. Its promotion of relativity and Einstein's later research are utterly meaningless."

"But it attracts the world's attention; being able to win a Nobel Prize, a country's number of Nobel Prizes can simply indicate the strength of its scientific power… Wait, that's not what Doctor Zheng meant; he is saying…"

The director, listening behind the scenes, was dumbfounded—how could Doctor Zheng's remarks be interpreted to carry so many meanings?!

The host also stared speechlessly at Professor Zhang Jiaoshou, who was endlessly over-interpreting those two words of Doctor Zheng, left utterly without words.
