Tang Xiaolin's dream is to become a scientist, she has a strong interest in physics, she wants to explore the mysteries of the universe, understand the movement of celestial bodies, and study the environment of space, which she finds very interesting and meaningful. In order to realize her dream, she Xi studied hard and kept improving, and finally in 2004, she was admitted to the Department of Physics of Peking University, which is one of the top universities in China and her ideal place in 2004. She chose to major in space physics, which is a very difficult and competitive major, but she is not afraid, but full of confidence and fighting spirit.

However, what Tang Xiaolin didn't expect was that her study abroad life in the United States was not as beautiful and smooth as she imagined, but full of hardships and setbacks, and even despair and sorrow. In her first year in the United States, she encountered a big obstacle, and that was her mentor. Her supervisor is the chair of the Department of Space Physics at the University of Utah and Xiaolin Tang's doctoral supervisor. He has a high reputation in the academic community, he has a lot of resources, and the research team he leads has many projects and collaborations, and he seems to be a very capable and charismatic person.
However, Tang Xiaolin soon found out that the tutor was very harsh and irresponsible for her guidance, he often asked her to do some irrelevant things, such as sorting out data, writing reports, making slides, etc., he never gave her valuable suggestions and feedback, he never let her participate in meaningful discussions and exchanges, and just treated her as a cheap laborer, a slave who could be driven at will.
