Please welcome → Pan: The imitation show event is a watershed in my life.

To this day, Pan still doesn't understand how he got angry. "This thing is too unreasonable."

"Wake up, senior, you are on fire!"

On April 1 day, April fool's day in the west, Pan received this private letter and felt puzzled. "The fans of my short video account only have single digits, and I can't remember the account password. How can I suddenly get angry? "

Pan thought the other party was joking. It wasn't until a private letter from a netizen and a message from a friend WeChat came in saying, "You are red, you are red, and you are Tik Tok first-class" that he searched online with doubts and found the long-lost account password for this.

At this time, Tik Tok's challenge of imitating "Pan-Zhou Yong" has reached the top, and the word "Pan-Zhou Yong" has completely become a verb. Turn your head, sideways, shake your head, and BGM: Please welcome Pan Zhouyong, who graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich with a master's degree ... This picture is a video clip of his appearance in Super Brain, which has become a hot topic in social media, and a cool and crazy image of top student pops up in front of the screen.

Behind the explosion is a story of homesickness.

Originally, I thought that the popularity of "anything can be Pan Zhouyong" passed in a day or two, but many accounts registered under the name of "Pan" appeared on various platforms. Many friends took these fake accounts and asked Pan if he was himself. Some even received harassment information from these fake accounts.

Pan Zhouyong felt that he needed to respond.

The first response video was released on April 3, only two days after Pan learned that it was popular. At that time, the night temperature in Oxford, England reached below zero, and Pan recorded it again and again in the middle of the night. As you can see from the video, there are bursts of "fairy gas" behind him, which is the hot air from the heating chimney of the residential building.

Pan in the video speaks slowly and politely, and once again imitates the popular action of getting up. Some critics say: Senior, you are the person who imitates the least like yourself. Some netizens were surprised after watching the video. This is different from Pan in the explosion video. It is hard to imagine that it is the lingering senior, "I didn't expect this deity to be so gentle."

Pan responded to netizens' teasing imitation. "Your Xiong Haizi's imitation is intentional, I can understand." He called the netizen "Xiong Haizi" and painted it as an "imitation show" for netizens. He also goes to "batch homework" and sometimes hands it in: look. Humor is full of personality.

In fact, all this stems from a homesick story.

20 15 Pan participated in the recording of Jiangsu Satellite TV's One Stop to the End. When the project director found him, he was studying for a master's degree in Switzerland. Because he is from Nanjing, the recording location happened to be Nanjing, so the program director "seduced" him: "Pan, come and record our program! For your reimbursement of round-trip air tickets, other players need unified accommodation. If you don't need it, you can go home directly to see your parents and have dinner with them. " Pan was very excited and accepted the invitation. In the program, Pan shared "How to make delicious saliva chicken with modeling". Two years ago, Pan was invited to record the seventh season of Super Brain again. At that time, Pan, who was studying in Britain, couldn't help feeling homesick and chose to be invited.

The opposite of science and engineering men

Pan's name comes from the Taoist sage Zhuang Zhou He.

His family lives near the Confucius Temple in Nanjing. Before Pan was born, when his parents visited the Confucius Temple during the Lantern Festival, they found a chapter called "Asking for a gift" in the Confucius Picture, which was very interesting. They thought that Confucius was a teacher for generations, but they didn't expect a teacher. Parents also believe that "a threesome must have a teacher", so they added the word "Yong" to their son's name.

From the name, we can also see the good expectations of parents for Pan, and it is precisely because of this name that Pan has forged an indissoluble bond with Taoism.

When it comes to classical literature and traditional culture, Pan never stops talking. Different from the "cool madness" in the explosion video, it is no exaggeration to describe this science and technology man with "elegance" and "gentleness". "If I don't take the initiative to mention my major, many people may forget that I am a science and engineering major."

Pan spent six years in middle school in Nanjing Foreign Language School. According to him, the school's philosophy is "the soul of China, the heart of the world", which has a tradition of training talents for China's diplomacy, and its teaching methods are also different. Encourage students to study independently, report the learning content in groups, and the teacher will make a summary. On one occasion, Pan talked about Li Bai's It's Hard to Walk in Chinese class. After sharing for ten minutes, the teacher urged him to finish, but the students were fascinated and begged the teacher to let Pan continue. This lecture, half a class has passed, and the students listened with relish, which also caused an upsurge of learning ancient poetry.

"My grades in primary and secondary schools are not particularly outstanding. Occasionally, the' smoke on the ancestral grave' is also among the best, but most of them belong to the middle and upper reaches. " Pan recalled, "On the contrary, I would be particularly interested in some' deviant' math and physics competitions. The same is true of Chinese. I am especially good at ancient poetry and diction, but if I want to write a very satisfactory composition for the college entrance examination, I sometimes lack heat. "

Why did Pan, who studied with his parents since childhood, recited three-character classics and thousands of words, and loved classical literature, choose science and engineering? "Classical Chinese and ancient poetry are my personal hobbies. The classics of thousands of years ago, the contending views left in the long history of big waves and sand scouring, are all gifts for us. " Pan said, "But I was born in the Yangtze River Delta, the core base of China's traditional manufacturing industry. I was deeply influenced by my parents and the surrounding environment since I was a child. When I saw the blue road of China's manufacturing industry, I planted a seed in my heart, that is, industry serves the country. Promoting the progress of human civilization through scientific and technological innovation, so I finally chose science and engineering without hesitation. "

Pan likes physics and is good at physics competitions. When he was in middle school, he won the first prize at the provincial level in the physics competition, so he won a considerable number of independent university enrollment places. However, during the college entrance examination, Pan's best performance in physics was not satisfactory. He solved a big physics problem in the college entrance examination by way of competition, and the result was "nothing". At that time, Jiangsu physics test paper was not the total score, but divided by ABCD score. As a result, he just got stuck in the admission score and missed the university. Later, Pan chose to study abroad, and then traveled to European countries, from the mechanical manufacturing technology in the industrial 1.0 era to the artificial intelligence optimization algorithm in the industrial 4.0 era.

Pan used physical models to summarize the key techniques of skiing.

Pan's photography

Because his head is a little big, his classmates nicknamed him panda head, so he collected a lot of pandas.

"Not afraid of being forgotten by the public"

"The imitation show was a watershed in my life," Pan said.

At present, Pan's platform has more than 2 million fans and has become a "big V". What are your plans for the future?

The traffic is unknown and may change at any time in the future. Will Pan be afraid of being forgotten by the public?

"If one day, the audience forgets me, or says,' Pan Zhouyong, you can do scientific research with peace of mind', I think it's better to go the old way." In the face of sudden traffic and all kinds of public opinion, Pan is not shocked, which is the charm of contemporary intellectual youth.

Nobody's life can be smooth sailing. Pan wants to be himself who is fearless and brave, just like his favorite poem: human difficulties are like dreams, and strength leads a direction. He hopes everyone can see a more complete Pan Zhouyong.
