Time quietly shuttles back to the bustling city of Harbin in 1966, where it was such a magnificent but flourishing era. In this vast northeast land, there is an ordinary family who lives an ordinary life, where the umbilical cord of new life is cut, Chen Xuemei descends into the world without reservation, and the ordinary life has since begun.
She was born into an ordinary working-class family, where her parents worked hard every day and had little time to pay attention to their daughter's growing needs. However, the god of luck seems to favor her in particular, and there is a knowledgeable elder in the family, Chen Xuemei's grandfather, who has become the brightest light on the granddaughter's growth path. This wise old man always patiently accompanied his granddaughter, teaching her to read words and letters.
He would interpret the text content of the newspaper for Chen Xuemei word by word, and explain the deep meaning contained in it in detail, so that his granddaughter could understand it after listening. Under the careful cultivation of her grandfather, Chen Xuemei has shown extraordinary intelligence since she was a child. She is proficient at reciting ancient poems passed on to her by her grandfather, and can clearly retell the ins and outs of news reports in a single listen.
What's even more amazing is that Chen Xuemei has a unique curiosity and insight into biology. She tirelessly observes the little ants around her, trying to find out how they survive. One day, when my grandfather came back from a trip, he stumbled upon Chen Xuemei, who was squatting on the side of the road and engrossed in studying the trajectory of ants. Seeing this, he stepped forward and said in a wise tone, "Look, my child, even the insignificant ants are working diligently to make a modest contribution to their home. As the descendants of China, we should dedicate our wisdom and strength to the prosperity of the motherland. ”
Grandfather's earnest teachings are like a clear stream, nourishing Chen Xuemei's young heart. She gradually realized the true meaning and mystery of life, and her love for biology burned in her heart like wildfire. Since then, observing living things and exploring nature has become Chen Xuemei's inseparable hobby.
With a growing interest in biology, Chen Xuemei eagerly absorbed relevant knowledge. She is determined to dig deep into the mysteries of life sciences and contribute to the biological cause of the motherland in the future.
In 1984, such a good opportunity finally came to Chen Xuemei! With her outstanding academic performance, she firmly realized her wish and successfully entered the world-renowned School of Life Sciences of Peking University, and since then she has stepped into the road to the peak of her ideals.
After entering Peking University, Chen Xuemei touched many teachers who taught her with her tireless spirit of curiosity. Her outstanding talent shines brightly among her peers, and she can be called the best. Whether in the classroom or in the lab, she has always had a unique and keen eye for things and is committed to revealing the mysteries of the life sciences.
When the graduation bell was about to ring, Chen Xuemei's thesis fully demonstrated her profound academic skills. At the defense venue, she had a clear mind and answered one difficult question after another, and finally won the warm applause and high praise of all the professors present with her unrivaled strength.
This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chen Xuemei secretly vowed to be among the candidates for this project, no matter what the price is. After layers of selection, she stood out with her otherworldly strength and obtained the pass to this precious study abroad career as she wished.
In 1989, Chen Xuemei, who was full of ambition, bid farewell to her homeland with a beautiful dream, crossed the ocean, and started a new chapter in her life.
After arriving at the famous Cornell University in the United States, Chen Xuemei was full of endless expectations for the advanced experimental equipment and rich biological data there. She silently vowed in her heart that she would bring these valuable scientific research experiences and cutting-edge knowledge back home to contribute to the great Chinese nation.
With her extraordinary talent and studious qualities, Chen Xuemei quickly completed her doctoral studies at Cornell University, and her intellectual curiosity is still in full swing. Subsequently, she was recommended to the California Institute of Technology, where she further her research in the field of plant development. The talented Chen Xuemei soon assumed the position of assistant professor, demonstrating extraordinary academic talent.
However, good times are always short-lived, and at some point five years later, Chen Xuemei found that her research had reached a bottleneck, and the predicament of stagnation made her feel unprecedented lost and helpless.
At this critical juncture, Chen Xuemei knew that relying only on theoretical knowledge in books could not achieve breakthroughs, so in order to move towards a higher academic palace, she decided to devote herself to the most innovative scientific and technological research environment in developed countries, and master the most cutting-edge scientific research skills and strategies. And this decision, for her, is not only a turning point in her career, but also a major choice in her life!
Back in 1999, Chen Xuemei, with a firm belief in scientific research and a good expectation for her daughter's future, chose to go to the ocean without hesitation, came to the strange land of the United States, and decided to settle down here. At the same time, in order to devote themselves to scientific research, she and her daughter decided to change their nationality and become U.S. citizens.
However, this decision has caused widespread controversy and questioning in the country. Many people are puzzled as to why Chen Xuemei was able to enjoy the opportunity to study abroad at public expense provided by the state, but after completing her studies, she was unwilling to return to China to serve the motherland, but instead chose to emigrate overseas with her whole family, and even changed her nationality? In the face of these doubts, Chen Xuemei remained silent and did not give any response or explanation. She proved everything with practical actions.
During her tenure at Rutgers University, Xuemei Chen has always adhered to her research position and pursued excellence. In 2005, she stepped into the door of the University of California again, and after unremitting efforts, she was finally awarded the honorary title of tenured professor by the university, and successively served as associate professor and chief professor.
In 2011, Chen Xuemei, who had lived in the United States for many years, officially became a U.S. citizen. Two years later, in 2013, she ushered in another peak of her life, and was successfully elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences, leading the global scientific research trend.
In 2014, Chen Xuemei, who was nearly half a hundred years old, embarked on a journey back to China with excitement. When she witnessed the mountains and rivers familiar to her motherland, she deeply felt the rapid changes of her motherland: a new atmosphere of scientific research full of vitality made her feel encouraged and excited.
However, Chen Xuemei is also soberly aware that although the mainland has made remarkable achievements in many fields such as biological sciences, there is still a big gap between it and developed countries. To this end, she is determined to do her best in education, teaching, and cultivating outstanding talents, and to pass on the world's leading scientific research concepts and cutting-edge technologies learned abroad to the younger generation in China without reservation.
After returning to China, Chen Xuemei seemed to have injected new vitality and devoted herself to various undertakings with enthusiasm, showing unparalleled vitality and passion. Her primary focus is to overhaul the laboratory's hardware facilities in order to achieve the goal of reaching the world's top level, so as to create an excellent working environment for the majority of scientific researchers.
Next, Chen Xuemei carried out a new planning and design of the talent training plan of the laboratory, and always adhered to the educational concept of teaching students according to their aptitude and tailoring. Despite the heavy curriculum pressure and huge infrastructure investment, Chen Xuemei is determined to train at least 15 outstanding scientific research talents to make them one of the elite.
