　　Levitt said at the event that China has the largest group of teenagers in the world, and he finds them very interesting.

In fact, in recent years, Levitt has also "appeared" on online social platforms where Chinese teenagers gather, answering some questions from Chinese teenagers on it, "They often ask me some serious questions, and I'm happy to answer them."

　　Although he basically cannot speak Chinese, smartphones and AI (artificial intelligence) technology can help him translate languages ​​and communicate with people.

"Our phones are very powerful computers that can fit in our pockets. We are very lucky to have access to these things right now," he said.

　　In Levitt's view, to a certain extent, winning the Nobel Prize also requires luck, and once a scientific researcher is awarded, it becomes a representative figure in the field of science.

"Since I won the Nobel Prize, I have an obligation to help young people understand science better," he said.

　　At the event that day, several teenagers also threw questions to the "Nobel Prize", such as about interdisciplinary.

　　Levitt is a veritable "interdisciplinary person". He has studied mathematics, physics, medicine and other majors, but won the Nobel Prize in the field of chemistry, which he has not systematically studied.

　　Levitt said in his answer that although we divide the disciplines, in reality, the disciplines are linked, "I always feel that multidisciplinary (synthesis) is natural."

　　He believes that the field of science is interconnected and encourages young people who love science to follow the path they love firmly.
