Zhao Zhongyao is a famous physicist in China, in 1927, in order to learn more science and technology and serve the motherland, the young Zhao Zhongyao went to the United States at his own expense and was admitted to the graduate school of the California Institute of Technology. His enthusiasm and determination impressed his mentor, Professor Milligan, and led him to a more difficult subject. In 1930, Zhao Zhongyao's Ph.D. shocked the physics community at that time when it was published, and he became the first physicist in the world to discover antimatter, which established his position in the world physics community. However, during the Anti-Japanese War, due to the devastation and chaos of the war, he lost all his property and identification and was forced to live a life of begging.

This experience took place at the gates of Tsinghua University. One day, a beggar in ragged clothes, with clumpy hair and a thin appearance, came to the door of Tsinghua University, shouting loudly to see the president, Mei Yiqi. The doorman saw the man in the form of a beggar and thought that he was a mentally abnormal person and wanted to drive him away. However, at this time, the principal Mei Yiqi happened to come out of the school. When he saw the beggar, he recognized him as his student, the famous physicist Zhao Zhongyao.

Zhao Zhongyao lost all his possessions and identification during the war, and in order to survive, he had to choose to beg. Yet, even in the toughest moments, he clung to a jar of pickles containing the 50 milligrams of radioactive experimental radium that he had always treasured. This radium element is a valuable resource that he brought back from overseas and is of great significance to scientific research in China. He risked his life to protect this altar and did not give up even in the most difficult moments.

When Principal Mei Yiqi saw Zhao Zhongyao's predicament, he was deeply shocked and heartbroken. He immediately stepped forward to hold Zhao Zhongyao's hand and invited him into the school. On campus, Zhao Zhongyao opened the pickle jar, and Mei Yiqi looked inside and was surprised to find that it contained 50 milligrams of radium. This discovery made Mei Yiqi admire Zhao Zhongyao's tenacity and perseverance even more.

Although Zhao Zhongyao's begging experience was full of hardships and pains, it also showed his firm belief and selfless dedication to the cause of science. Even in the most difficult moments, he still insisted on protecting the resources that are vital to scientific research and made important contributions to China's scientific cause. Zhao Zhongyao
