Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1478 - 1105: The Mysterious Gift

The daytime event was a reception, and the evening brought a banquet with a rich program of performances.

What surprised the guests were the performers of these programs. Every one of them was a top-tier scholar, well-known far and wide. Usually, even inviting them to an academic event was difficult, but now they were willingly offering their artistic talents for entertainment at Yang Ping’s wedding, and every performance was done in Chinese, which shocked and intrigued everyone.

Professor Manstein, the world-renowned medical expert, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, opened the banquet with a skilled tenor rendition of "Tibetan Plateau." Every syllable was pronounced with precision, and his magnetic, penetrating voice resonated through the hall to thunderous applause.

Hearing any superstar sing is not unusual, but hearing Professor Manstein take the stage to sing is indeed the rarest thing in the world. A universally recognized medical genius and Nobel Prize laureate, he actually stood there singing, and the audience probably had this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There was never such an occasion in the past, nor is there likely to be another in the future.

Following the solo by Professor Manstein was Robert’s martial arts performance. Set to a powerful and vigorous song, his series of punches whipped up a storm, and a few genuine flips left no one in doubt of his skill—if not for the difference in appearance, you would never have guessed he was a foreigner.

August’s piano solo resonated melodically, his golden curly hair billowing with the rhythm of the music. It must be said, the German’s musical talent is unquestionable. If people didn’t know him, they would have surely mistook him for a world-class pianist.

Comic dialogues, sketches, songs, dances, and magic shows—the entire evening’s performance quality was extremely high, akin to a global "Spring Festival Gala" celebrating unity.

During the intermission of the performances, Professor Manstein, holding a microphone and with sprightly steps, announced in a loud voice to everyone that he was now going to present a mysterious and significant gift to Professor Yang.

As he stood there with empty hands, scanning the surroundings, everyone was puzzled about the mysterious gift he referred to. While the guests wondered, several friends from Sweden lined up in a row.

Professor Manstein handed the microphone to one of the Swedish friends in the middle. He carefully took out a piece of paper, cleared his throat, and with a somewhat stilted Chinese pronunciation, announced: Professor Yang Ping is awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology.

The Nobel Prize?

The audience was initially stunned, with no immediate reaction. However, soon after, the once quiet hall started buzzing, then became lively, and finally escalated to a boiling point.

Indeed, Professor Yang Ping had won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology, the announcer reasserted.

In the history of the Nobel Prize, there has never been a precedent for personally visiting the laureate and making the announcement. However, considering the historical significance of this research achievement, which has opened a new era in medicine and biology with the in vitro cloning of organs in a laboratory environment, they decided to break from tradition and announce it in an entirely new and solemn manner.

Following Professor Manstein’s suggestion, they quietly came to China and then unexpectedly made the announcement at the wedding. They hoped the impact of this news would be as sensational as the impact of Yang Ping’s research achievements.

As the Swedish friend made the announcement, the Nobel Prize had simultaneously been announced online, revealing the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology to be Yang Ping.

Upon hearing the news, all the scholars present were astounded, especially Professor Su. Once he confirmed that it wasn’t just for show but was indeed real, he was so moved that he was nearly brought to tears. This news was the most thrilling "performance" of the wedding.

The entire Su Family was also extremely excited; this young man had actually won the Nobel Prize.

Dean Xia and Director Han, despite knowing the potential Yang Ping had for such an achievement, never thought he’d win the Nobel Prize so soon. After all, winning a Nobel isn’t only about outstanding work; it sometimes comes with a touch of luck and unpredictable subjective factors. The reality turned out to be even more extraordinary than fiction; Yang Ping had quickly won the Nobel Prize.

But for Yang Ping, winning the Nobel Prize was no longer important. He didn’t even know how he won it, nor had he ever thought about applying for it. He hadn’t participated in the application process or submitted any documentation. The entire process had been orchestrated by Professor Manstein without Yang’s knowledge.

For a true scholar devoted to scientific research, awards are of no concern, as they are insubstantial. This is especially true for Yang Ping. There have been instances in history where Nobel Prize winners were eventually proven wrong, so for them, what truly matters is that their scientific achievements bring value to humanity. An award cannot evaluate the worth and significance of scientific accomplishments.

Therefore, he accepts it as a mere gift, although awards can indeed have significant benefits. They aid in the dissemination and popularization of scientific findings, serving a tremendous promotional role, particularly in Europe and America. This helps his own research gain worldwide attention and significant say.

Indeed, no one had received any prior notice, so the good news was a complete surprise. Professor Liang was so excited that he could not utter a word. In medicine, generations have been chasing after Europe and America, where genuine originality is exceedingly rare, almost nonexistent.

Professor Liang and his peers are well aware of this fact; they are not deluded by arrogance. They maintain ample self-confidence without succumbing to unrealistic pride; a spirit of seeking truth from facts has become their academic soul.

In the field of medicine, the gap with developed European and American countries still exists and is significant. Almost every new medical technology originates from Europe and America; we are mere learners who then take advantage of the scale of our patient population to refine these technologies through practice by physicians.

Therefore, our strength lies in clinical experience, the accumulation of expertise in existing medical technologies. However, when it comes to advancing medical innovation, we have little to celebrate. The same situation applies to pharmaceuticals and medical devices; everyone wants to make quick and easy money, but few are willing to commit to the long-term, arduous dedication required.

Among the global pharmaceutical giants, our country doesn’t have a single one. The combined strength of countless pharmaceutical companies in our country does not match any of these giants, with the gap being quite substantial. Johnson & Johnson, Roche, Merck, Pfizer, AbbVie, Astra Zeneca, Novartis, Glaxo Smith Kline, etc., we aspire to catch up to any of these companies. Nearly all the drugs we use now come from these pharmaceutical companies or their generics. It’s impossible to catch up with the technological advantages these companies have accumulated over the past one to two hundred years overnight; we must close the gap step by step.

In terms of medical devices, high-end laboratory and medical equipment are still predominantly dominated by these countries, and it is difficult for us to enter the market for the time being. Similarly, it’s challenging to catch up to the technological advantages of these companies.

Now that Yang Ping has achieved such an epoch-making breakthrough in medicine, how can one not be excited? It’s not just about an award; whether he receives it or not is beside the point. What’s important is that we have genuinely made an original breakthrough. True scholars always seek the truth, recognize reality, and steadily pursue excellence, step by step.

"The Nobel Prize? Really? Did Professor Yang win the Nobel Prize?"

When the news reached Sanbo Hospital, the entire hospital erupted with excitement. The night-shift doctors were as energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline, all fatigue instantly dispelled. A doctor performing emergency surgery was so thrilled that his hands trembled, requiring him to pause for a moment before he could continue with the surgery.

Graduate students at Nandu Medical University, upon hearing the news, felt the Nobel Prize was suddenly within close reach, and maybe they too would have the chance to make such significant scientific contributions in the future.

Yang Ping, who is not yet thirty years old, has received the award, making him the youngest winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Biology. Even including the Physics and Chemistry categories, he is the youngest at this age.

"My hearing isn’t what it used to be, did they just announce that Professor Yang has won the award?" Professor Zhang Zongshun couldn’t help but seek confirmation.

Professor Su adjusted his hair, trying to clear his head: "Yes, it seems so."

Yang Ping walked towards the stage hand in hand with Xiao Su, greeted with good news from several Swedish friends. Standing on the stage, Xiao Su felt a deep sense of joy—this was her husband, after all. She knew that one day Yang Ping was bound to win an award, but she hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly, so suddenly.

Professor Su was still immersed in excitement; his son-in-law had won the Nobel Prize. As part of an academic family, this was the best news possible, more valuable than any wealth.

Professor Su grasped the hands of Yang Ping’s parents tightly. Mrs. Su and Yang Ping’s mother embraced each other, everyone overjoyed.
