"The Road Is Difficult is Interesting" is an autobiographical book written by Nobel Prize winner Satoshi Omura. This book describes the scientific path that Omura began at a young age and his great contributions to the field of medical research. The message and ideas conveyed in this book are inspiring and worth reading for everyone.
At the beginning of the book, Omura reflects on the hardships and struggles he experienced in his youth. He was born into an ordinary peasant family and was the eldest son in the family. He thought he would stay in the countryside like his father and become a village chief.
But after he went to university, he became very interested in scientific research. Since then, he has embarked on his long scientific journey.
When he won the Nobel Prize, he thought of his wife. Because, without his wife's support and encouragement, he may not be able to achieve his goal of winning the Nobel Prize. Unfortunately, however, his wife died long ago.
In the second half of the book, Omura describes in detail the results achieved in drug research. His team's research has helped health causes around the world and contributed greatly to the search for better healthcare. This reminds me of our Chinese Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou.
In fact, the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was won by Tu Youyou, William Campbell and Omura Chi. Omura invented ivermectin, which radically reduced the incidence of river blindness and lymphatic filariasis.
Overall, the book "The Road Is Hard to Be Interesting" has a great revelation for each of us. The road of suffering is a necessary path in life, there is no smooth sailing in life, only those who persevere in adversity and eventually succeed can leave their own traces in the world.
As Qian Sanqiang, a mainland scientist, said: Science has experienced a very tortuous and difficult road.
For the field of scientific research, this book is also an excellent clarification and enlightenment. Through this book, we can gain insight into the difficulties scientists encounter in their research and the process by which they come up with solutions. In scientific research, every detail is crucial, and researchers must be committed to continuous innovation and exploration in order to achieve significant research results.
Taken together, Satoshi Omura's Fun Is Fun with Hard Roads is a real and moving book full of inspiring reflections on research, science, and the struggle of life. This book is worth reading for everyone, whether you are in science or something else, it can provide you with a bellwether and enlighten your life.
