Academician Wang Zhizhen: "The new charm of old shoes" touches people's hearts.
A few days ago, a highly respected academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, biochemist and molecular biologist Wang Zhizhen took the stage to give a speech. However, people were surprised to find that the floor of the podium was covered with black debris, which turned out to be because Academician Wang was wearing a pair of old shoes.
The soles of these shoes are aged and constantly dropping debris. Academician Wang showed a self-deprecating attitude, showing his so-called "foreign appearance" to the audience. However, this small detail touched the heartstrings of everyone at the scene, and they did not hesitate to extend warm applause to Academician Wang.
Netizens also discussed this detail, and some joked that this is not a shoe that has been worn for a long time, but more like a situation where they have been bought for a long time but are reluctant to wear it. This scene of "new charm of old shoes" has sparked a lot of resonance and discussion.
This seemingly ordinary thing contains profound connotations. As a scientist, Academician Wang Zhizhen's awe and persistent pursuit of science are often talked about. And these aging shoes are a testimony of his career and years. Perhaps, for him, these shoes have become a Xi, a companionship that has endured vicissitudes.
But this detail also reflects a certain touching beauty in human nature. In the temple of science, an ordinary, aging detail can resonate and respect the audience, which goes beyond the simple appearance, but also affirms Academician Wang's loyalty and dedication to the cause of science.
Academician Wang Zhizhen's "foreign appearance" has brought profound enlightenment to everyone: the real value does not lie in appearance, but in inner perseverance and unremitting pursuit. His honesty and self-deprecation have won the respect and applause of more people.
This small scene may allow us to cherish our inner attachment more and pay more attention to the inner value rather than the superficial brilliance. Academician Wang Zhizhen, with a pair of old shoes, interprets the sincere love for the cause of science, and also conveys a profound philosophy of life for us.
