The U.S. blockade of China's chip field is endless, and behind the restriction of China's chip development is China's unspeakable pain, just because the two giants in the U.S. chip field, Nvidia and AMD, are both Chinese.
The power of each of them can set off turmoil in the global chip industry, and they all have the ability to push China's chips to go further, but they all choose to work for the United States.
One of them is Jensen Huang, who wore a Northeast flower coat to China for the annual meeting this year, and the other is a woman named Su Lifeng.
It is undeniable that in the fields of politics and business, science and technology, there are more men in the industry, and women are still in the minority.

Two geniuses.
Whether it is Huang Jenxun or Su Lifeng, they are both Chinese, but it is more accurate to say that they are both from Taiwan, and they are influenced by some prejudiced ideas, and their feelings for Chinese mainland are very weak.
On the other hand, they are not patriotic, but they cannot deny the talent they showed in their own upbringing.
Especially Su Lifeng, who is more prominent in this aspect, and the family atmosphere has a great impact on her.
Parents are high-achieving students who graduated from prestigious American schools, unlike now where parents are highly intelligent, but their children are scumbags, Su Lifeng perfectly inherited the high IQ of his parents, and has an extraordinary obsession with science.
After immigrating to the United States at the age of 3, Lisa Su's talent for learning was revealed, and other children were still following the textbooks step by step, and she had already won the "Westinghouse Science Genius Award" before college.
Admission to MIT is an easy thing for her, and choosing the most difficult electrical engineering major is even more out of a hobby.
Since then, the mystery and strength revealed in the small chip have conquered this woman who has been strong in her life, and Su Lifeng will also learn chip technology in turn, conquer and break through chip technology, and become a leader.
This is a road destined to be difficult, but Su Lifeng walked neatly and beautifully, how did she do it?
One after another, IBM and AMD came back to life.
In the 90s of the last century, Su Lifeng, who received a doctorate at the age of 24, quickly found her own research direction.
At that time, aluminum wire was still used in the production of chips, but the performance of aluminum wire was no longer enough to meet the development needs of society, and it was urgent to find new alternatives.
Scientists also envisioned the use of copper wires with better conductivity, but the combination of copper and silica gel was a major technical difficulty, and no breakthrough was made for a long time.
Theoretically, finding the right method can complete a breakthrough, Su Lifeng does not believe in evil, she led the team to try again and again, found problems in thousands of failures, accumulated experience, and finally achieved a breakthrough.
This breakthrough has brought great benefits to the company, and she has risen from a small scientist to head of research and development at IBM.
Su Lifeng's dedication is stronger than that of many men, and her love for scientific research is also more enthusiastic than that of too many scientific researchers.
Therefore, she gave full play to her advantages and won cooperation with Sony, Nintendo and other well-known companies and games in one fell swoop, once again paving the way for her promotion.
It was possible to go further, but at the critical moment, Su Lifeng still quit and switched to Freescale, and after Freescale's achievements, he came to the troubled ADM.
In 2012, not many people were optimistic about ADM, and not many people were optimistic that Su Lifeng could save ADM, but she did it again.
Behind every leap, in addition to her unique vision, but also her focus on scientific research, she firmly believes that technology is the key to changing everything, and everything else is floating clouds in the face of strength.
Because of Lisa Su and Jensen Huang, the United States is far ahead in chip technology, but they have helped the United States develop, but they have also limited China's development.
Chinese people who are far away should also remember that at the critical moment, the motherland is the root.
