Lu Zhou couldn't make up his mind, and he told Professor Deligne about the Max Planck Institute invitation. Professor Deligne looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "You plan on going to the Fritz Haber Institute?"
"I'm thinking about it," Lu Zhou replied. He then added, "Actually I prefer to do this report in Princeton."
Germany was too far.
He just got back from Columbia University, he didn't want to leave so soon again.
Deligne thought for a moment. Surprisingly, he didn't agree with Lu Zhou, and he said, "Principal Eisgruber will be very happy to hear you say this, but I don't recommend doing this."
Lu Zhou asked, "Why?"
"This is like a monastery, it's suitable for spiritual practice. However, it is not a place for evangelism. There is a bigger world out there." Deligne placed the pen in his hand down and said, "My suggestion is to experience more when you are young. No matter what you are researching, it is good to network with other scholars."
