In 1957, a Chinese woman was about to return to China, and when she was passing through the customs, she was suddenly stopped by the staff, who opened her luggage and found a wad of dollars in it, and the woman quickly said: "All this money is for you." ”
Who knows, the staff did not respond to her, but instead stared at the two small medicine bottles in the luggage, and the woman immediately became nervous, and her heart was full of joy.
At that time, China was undergoing a great transformation, and many overseas students were called by the motherland, hoping that they would return to China with the knowledge and technology they had learned to build the motherland together.
This Chinese woman is Lin Lanying, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, from Putian, Fujian, she is an outstanding physicist and semiconductor materials scientist, and has long been engaged in the preparation and exploration of semiconductor materials and the research of materials physics.
In the United States, Lin Lanying paid for her tuition by working part-time and as a research assistant, and finally received a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, achieving remarkable academic success, and she could have chosen to stay in the United States.
However, when she received the invitation of the motherland, she resolutely chose to return to China with a sense of longing and belonging to the motherland.
On the way back to China, Lin Lanying knew that she would encounter all kinds of difficulties, but she never expected that she would be stopped by the customs at the moment after leaving the country.
In the face of strict inspection, Lin Lanying tried to stay calm, but the anxiety in her heart was difficult to calm.
That pile of dollars was nothing to Lin Lanying, but to China at that time, it was a considerable wealth.
However, Lin Lanying offered to give up the money, because what made her even more nervous was that the two small medicine bottles contained not ordinary drugs, but her research results for many years, and they were also the key resources urgently needed in China's semiconductor field.
When the customs officers became suspicious of the two vials, Lin Lanying knew that she had to deal with them carefully.
At the critical moment, she exerted her cleverness and wisdom, and mustered up the courage to make up a story that her mother was in danger, and these two bottles of medicine were life-saving medicine for her mother.
After some explanation and communication, Lin Lanying finally brought the two small medicine bottles back to her motherland smoothly.
After returning to China, Lin Lanying caused a sensation in the academic community, and those two small medicine bottles became an important cornerstone of China's semiconductor research, which is also one of Lin Lanying's proud achievements in her life.
Lin Lanying's story tells us that no matter how big the setbacks are, as long as we stick to our original intention, we can create miracles, and the scientist's original intention is not only for personal achievements, but also for the prosperity of the motherland and the well-being of the people.
Lin Lanying's contribution to the country should be remembered, and her resilience has become an example for us.
