Why did Akira Fujishima's team defect to our country?

There are many people who have faced this choice, both in ancient and modern times, and their decisions have often caused controversy and accusations. Today we are going to talk about Akira Fujishima, who was scolded by the Japanese as a thief because he left Japan and chose to develop in China.
So, why did he choose to come to China?
In 1976, Fujishima Showa and Kenichi Honda collaborated on a scientific study in which titanium dioxide and platinum metal were mixed and dissolved in water, and the water was fully exposed to sunlight.
It's amazing how water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen without electricity. Akira Fujishima's face immediately overflowed with joy, and the discovery was considered a major first discovery and was named the "Fujishima Hondo Effect".
This is a major breakthrough in the field of photocatalysis, and it is also the future research direction of Akira Fujishima. You must know that Akira Fujishima was only a doctor at that time, and his intelligence is rare in the academic world.
The spirit of a scientist is crucial, and Akira Fujishima's in-depth research in the field of photocatalysis is more meaningful than any work. His educational experience may be a sign of his success and studious spirit.
Akira Fujishima, who has been full of curiosity and creativity since childhood, has benefited from the support and encouragement of his parents and cultivated the ability to learn and explore independently.
As a child, Akira Fujishima was an exploratory baby who was always eager to find answers. During his student years, he fell in love with the colourful subject of chemistry.
Akira Fujishima was always an excellent student, and he was admitted to the University of Tokyo with honors, where he devoted himself to deeper chemical research. Here, he met his mentor, Kenichi Honta, who was both a teacher, a student, and a friend.
They often discuss problems together, help each other, and grow together. For Kenichi Honda, Akira Fujishima is like a bright new star, shining with wisdom.
As it turned out, Kenichi Honda was right in what he predicted, and Akira Fujishima showed remarkable talent in the scientific community. Akira Fujishima's focus on photocatalysis immediately attracted the attention of the global scientific community when it was published in the journal Nature.
Many thought that Fujishima would be a Nobel laureate, but his research was not yet fully mature, and he ended up with only one Thomson Reuters laureate, but that was enough to prove his achievement.
Although photocatalysis was not widely used, it was not until the outbreak of the energy crisis that the value of Akira Fujishima's photocatalytic research was recognized. Photocatalytic experiments have led to the realization that this research may be used to develop new clean energy sources.
Although photocatalytic research faced many challenges, such as the fact that only ultraviolet light sources could be used and the fact that catalyst particles were easily changing, resulting in unstable results, this did not stop Akira Fujishima from pursuing his dream.
After many efforts, Akira Fujishima has successfully applied photocatalysis to air purification and water purification, and has become a high-profile new star in the world's scientific community. However, Akira Fujishima's research was not all smooth sailing, and he still faced difficulties.
Although the research is progressing well, there are challenges on the economic front. Scientific research is a long-term task that requires continuous investment in order to achieve results gradually.
For ordinary people, if they don't see the benefits for a long time after investing in a certain industry, they may choose to give up. Similarly, Japan's economy has been unable to support such large-scale research investment in the wake of the bubble crisis.
The lack of funding became a pain in the hearts of many scientists, and Akira Fujishima was no exception, and although his wish was about to come true, he could not move forward because of economic problems, which was difficult for anyone to accept.
Fujishima's dedication to science trumped his loyalty to his country, especially after repeated rejections of research grants. In order to pursue his dreams and to solve problems that affect the fate of mankind, Akira Fujishima chose to leave his homeland.
But, what should he go to? He remembered the word "China". He had studied in China, learned about Chinese culture and customs, and knew that China has always been a country that respects etiquette, and that China welcomes people like him who are full of scientific research.
So, he decided to go to China to develop. In the summer of 2021, Akira Fujishima traveled to Shanghai, China, with his team, but was followed by scolding from the Japanese people.
They didn't understand why Akira Fujishima wanted to leave his homeland, and they didn't know what his goals were. However, for Akira Fujishima, his choice was motivated by his love of science and concern for the fate of humanity, and his willingness to fight for his dreams, even if it meant leaving his homeland.
Many researchers, such as Akira Fujishima, have a love for scientific research that goes beyond their lives, and their research is for humanity and the world, and we should respect their efforts and contributions, rather than criticize them.
