On July 22, a group of teenagers with scientific dreams entered Tsinghua University to participate in the special activity of the International Conference of Basic Science —— "Face to Face with Master". In this activity full of scientific ideas and an innovative atmosphere, nearly 200 teachers and students talked and communicated with many international top masters in the field of mathematics and physics, and had a collision between young people and science masters.

At the opening of the event, the president of the International Conference of Basic Science excited the students. Yau said that through communication and interaction, young people are expected to see the beauty of science and the truth of science. Academician Shing-Tung Yau's speech deeply encouraged the students, and further strengthened their pursuit of basic science and their determination to realize their scientific dreams.
In addition to Academician Shing-Tung Tau, the world's top scientific masters who attended the "Face to Face with Master" activity and communicated with the teenagers, And eight more bits, Among them are three masters of mathematics, The Fields Prize winner, Andrei Okounkov, a professor at Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley, Fields Prize winner and professor Caucher Birkar at Tsinghua University, Professor Nicolai Reshetikhin, Wegener Award and winner of Tsinghua University; 5 masters in physical research, They are Michael Berry, a winner of the 1998 Wolf Prize, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences, member of the National Academy of Sciences and professor of the University of Bristol, Researcher Sergio Cecotti of Yanqi Lake Research Institute of Applied Mathematics, Beijing, 1982 Maxwell Medal winner, academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Professor John Ellis of King's College London, Member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences, Member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and Director of the Danish Institute of Advanced Studies Francesco Sannino, Wang Yifang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, experimental high energy physicist and director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Getting close to the masters, learning about their coming-of-age stories and scientific research experiences, and listening to their scientific opinions is undoubtedly a valuable experience for teenagers. Through this activity, they can have a clearer understanding of science, draw inspiration from it, stimulate their innovative thinking, and set up higher goals and pursuits.
The student representatives exert their strengths.
In the student speech, 7 student representatives carefully made a PPT to explain their findings in scientific research on the spot and seized the rare opportunity to face to face with the master to consult their thoughts and questions in the research process.
In the course of the speech, they presented their strengths, expounded their academic views, cited the classics, expressed their attitude and views on science, and won applause and praise from the guests present.

The young people who participated in the activity showed extraordinary knowledge and confidence, showing their love for science, deep thinking ability, as well as good expression and communication skills. The guests present praised them and expressed that they saw the future and hope of scientific research.
At the end of the activity, Academician Shing-Tung Yau presented his autobiography —— My Geometric Life. This book tells the inspirational story of how Mr.Yau who grew up into a top mathematician. It has extraordinary significance for teenagers and represents Mr.Yau's attention and expectation for teenagers, encouraging them to take a solid step on the road of future science.
The first international conference on basic science youth series of activities by the Children & Youth Science Center of China Association of China Association for Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Shing-Tung Yau Mathematical Science Center, Beijing Association for Science and Technology, Beijing Science Center, aims to build interaction platform for teenagers, feel the unique charm of scientific research, for their future road inject more confidence and power, will have a profound impact on the growth and development of teenagers.
The "Face to Face with Master" activity held on July 22 is one of the series of youth activities held during the first International Conference of Basic Science. To let more young people have the opportunity to feel the master style and scientific charm, the event was held in the way of on-site participation and online live broadcasts. A total of 10 media platforms such as Central Video conducted live broadcasts, and the total number of viewers exceeded 210,000.
