I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

In July, Shen Qi flew to Xining with two graduate students in the volunteer team.

The mayor of the city cordially received Shen Qi and his party at the city hall, and invited the Yanda volunteer team to the dinner.

"Thank you Mayor Gao for your warm hospitality. Let's not eat the meal. Let's go directly to Maduo County to carry out social service work." Shen Qi tactfully refused Mayor Gao's dinner, and his heart has already flown to Maduo, the source of the Yellow River. county.

"Let's not eat outside, just have a light meal in the canteen inside the city hall." Mayor Gao was very enthusiastic, and he received great scientists like Shen Qi, so he must arrange for scientists to have a full meal in the provincial capital city before going on the road.

"Try to be as simple as possible." Shen Qi was embarrassed to continue to decline, so he took two graduate students to have a working meal at the city hall.

During the dinner, the city's leadership team toasted Shen Qi, saying that Professor Shen must drink this bowl of highland barley wine, which is the local custom for receiving distinguished guests.

Before starting work, drink first.

Shen Qi is a very principled person. He drank this bowl of highland barley wine and respected the local folk customs.

"Bosses, I've already drank the welcome wine. If I drink any more, it's a violation of work discipline." Shen Qi's drinking capacity is no problem for a jar of highland barley wine. The wine is not bad, but Shen Qi only drinks one bowl before ordering. After all, work is in the body.

"I understand, I understand, Professor Shen is indeed a great scientist who is strict with himself." The city's leading group admired Shen Qi very much, and everyone substituted tea for wine and chatted freely.

Shen Qi led the team to Maduo County this time to carry out another social service work.

Maduo County is a national-level poverty-stricken county with backward infrastructure, economy and education.

Since 1999, Yanda has dispatched postgraduate teaching support teams to areas such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai-Tibet in the west of the motherland to carry out voluntary teaching activities.

There is a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University. He came to Maduo County in 1999 to support teaching. He has worked for more than 20 years without complaint or regret, dedicating his youth to the construction of the western region.

The graduate student died last month of cancer.

He completed an article a week before his death. The core content is: "From the richest county to the poorest county, what have we done to Maduo?"

Shen Qi respected this supportive scholar who graduated from the School of Mathematics of Yanda University very much. He led two graduate students to the place where his predecessors had fought. The richest county has become a poor county?

Half of Shen Qi's trip to the west was for social service, and the other half was for scientific research.

A hardcore SUV drove away from Xining's city hall. Shen Qi and two graduate students were sitting in the car.

Shen Qi found that there were two off-road vehicles driving ahead, followed by three of the same model. The vehicles leading the way and in the back have license plates of Qing O.

Shen Qi was not happy: "We go to the grassroots level to provide services, not to show off, why are you following so many cars, let them all go back, and don't follow us."

There were four people in the car, besides Shen Qi and the three of them, there was also a driver.

The driver is not an ordinary driver, he is the No. 1 driver of Mayor Gao.

Driver No. 1 received an important task from the mayor this time, to escort Shen Qi and his party to Maduo safely, and then take Shen Qi back to Xining safely.

Driver No. 1 explained while driving: "Professor Shen, the province and city attach great importance to your support for the west, so they sent a team to Maduo to assist you in various tasks."

"We appreciate the good intentions from the provinces and cities." Shen Qi picked up the intercom in the car, dialed a channel, and called: "Attention all units, I am Shen Qi, except for vehicle O00020, please turn around ahead. Return to City Hall and Province Hall."

The O00020 vehicle was the one Shen Qi and the others were riding in. Shen Qi personally issued an order to let the rest of the vehicles return.

After a moment of silence on the walkie-talkie, a voice came out: "Hello, Professor Shen, I am Yao Ning, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Education. The provincial instruction is that our field team must assist Professor Shen in completing this grass-roots activity."

Shen Qi said politely: "Yao Ting, it is enough to ask the provincial government to arrange local assistance personnel who are familiar with the situation in Maduo County. I repeat, please pay attention to all units. I am Shen Qi. Except for the vehicle O00020, please leave the rest of the vehicles in the Make a U-turn ahead and return immediately to the municipal and provincial capitals."

There was another silence on the intercom.

Two minutes passed, and the team of Qing O passed a U-turn intersection, but none of the cars turned around and returned.

Another two minutes later, probably Yao Ting had finished asking his superiors for instructions, and he said on the intercom: "The reception staff in Maduo County have been arranged properly, please pay attention to safety, Professor Shen."

At the same time, Shen Qi and his car cut to the far left lane to give way to Shen Qi's car.

Shen Qi was satisfied: "Thank you."

The convoy escorting Shen Qi all evacuated, and Shen Qi and his car sped all the way towards Maduo.

Maduo is located in GLCZ Zhizhou, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

Outside Maduo County stands a snow-capped mountain --- Gezigeya Mountain, which is the source of the Yellow River, the mother river of China.

Maduo County in the source basin of the Yellow River has many natural resources. The local people once proudly said: "Maduo is full of treasures, grass on the ground, fish in the water, and gold in the sand."

The grass is not ordinary grass, but Cordyceps.

The fish is not an ordinary fish, but a very rare Yellow River naked carp.

Gold is the gold that everyone is familiar with. The color and purity of the gold produced by Maduo are well-known throughout the country.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water.

God-given rich and precious natural resources in Maduo made Maduo the richest county in the province in the 1980s.

However, only a dozen years later, in the late 1990s, Maduo changed from the richest county to a state-level poverty-stricken county.

What the hell did we do to Maduo?

It is obvious that the main causes of Mado's poverty are overgrazing, mining and fishing.

The scenery on the journey from Xining to Maqin was charming and magnificent, and Shen Qi and his party were in high spirits.

Two postgraduate volunteers took pictures with their mobile phones, and Shen Qi also took pictures.

Standing in the green pasture in the early morning, I saw the condor wearing the glow.

Like an auspicious cloud flying across the blue sky, it brings auspiciousness to the children of collectors.

...

This is a magical road to heaven, and the song is very realistic.

Entering GLCZ Zhizhou for the first time, the blue sky cleanses the soul, and the snow-capped mountains stand tall in the distance. Shen Qi, who does not believe in religion, can't help but want to worship.

The pasture stretches as far as the eye can see, and cattle and sheep are scattered on the green carpet. They graze and walk leisurely.

"The scenery is picturesque." Shen Qi turned on his laptop, and while admiring the scenery outside the car, he retrieved the data from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Meteorological Observatory provided by the National Meteorological Center.

Combining numerical analysis and mathematical models, Shen Qi calculated that the negative value areas of the third mode are concentrated in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the positive value areas appear in the northwest.

After the vehicle passed Maqin, it turned and headed northwestward, where it was the destination—Maduo County.

Maduo County is larger than the capital, with a population of just over 10,000.

Entering Maduo territory, the painting style changes suddenly.

There are no longer continuous grasslands, and there are more and more deserts.

The wind continued to blow, but the cattle and sheep disappeared, but a cloud of dust was blown up.

"Seeing is believing, the desertification here is very serious." Shen Qi frowned, looking at the yellow and green land outside the window, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard of his laptop quickly.
