Chapter 1169 The Returnee's Notes 243
Xie Ning simply put the matter aside. She had just chatted with Lu's mother for a while about Lu Qi's future studies. According to Lu's mother, she wanted Lu Qi to study abroad.
After all, the Lu family is not short of money, or rather, Lu's mother is not short of money.
Moreover, Lu's mother has connections that could exempt Lu Qi from the exam, although Lu Qi said he didn't need it.
"Actually... I didn't plan to pursue further studies in China. There are still some technologies that are more advanced abroad, and I want to learn them."
Furthermore, my advisor said that the academic environment there is quite good.
Lu Qi glanced down at his phone, which was also a foreign brand and more advanced than most domestic phones—this was one example.
Currently, foreign technologies are indeed more advanced in many aspects.
Although many people go abroad to study after failing to get into a domestic university, quite a few go abroad to learn technical skills. Whether for the country or simply for their own future, no one would refuse to learn more advanced knowledge and technology if conditions permit.
Hearing Lu Qi say this, Xie Ning understood that she probably already had a target school in mind. Lu Qi was actually a very opinionated person, but her mother always felt that she was too young and was worried about her.
Then Xie Ning asked Lu Qi which schools he mainly planned to apply to.
It's been too long, and Xie Ning doesn't know the specifics of the situation abroad now. However, she had a senior classmate who went to study abroad before, and she helped her with some of the paperwork back then.
I have some understanding of it.
Lu Qi sat cross-legged on the carpet with Xie Ning and then brought down the tea.
"As you know, my major is physics, and physics is a very broad field. My advisor asked me whether I wanted to continue applying to my major in physics or to choose a specific direction to study. I decided to choose photonics as my research direction."
Seeing Xie Ning looking over, Lu Qi smiled slightly, "Times are changing, and our technology in this area is clearly somewhat lacking."
So she has to go and study.
When she was very young, the old man in the compound talked about the wars of the past, and she asked him what she could do because it was a peaceful time now.
Even if she practices martial arts with her grandfather, she will never be able to go to the battlefield.
Grandpa then said that there has never been peace; it's just that these little children are protected under his wings and haven't been exposed to the storms outside.
Lu Qi didn't understand at first, but given her living environment, the older she got, the more she understood than other children, because she often stayed with her father and what she saw and heard was different.
So even when she was still young, she was already thinking about what she could do for the future development of the country when she grew up.
Not only her, but probably every child has had such thoughts. It's just that not everyone can achieve their expectations for the future, the future they dreamed of in their childhood, the future they described in their essays.
"Ah Ning, you must have thought about this too, right? It's just that not all children can grow up like we did..."
She had a primary school classmate like that, and they had talked about it recently. However, that classmate didn't even get into high school and went to work early. All he thinks about every day is the mundane necessities of life.
Xie Ning paused for a moment, then said, "The world is inherently uneven; it is not a perfectly round sphere without any flaws. Look at the Earth, it has mountains and plains."
Trees growing on plains are rarely taller than those in mountain forests.
While individual reasons may contribute to the poor development, Xie Ning believes the main reasons lie in the broader environment and the differences in the local conditions.
Lu Qi is intelligent and hardworking, and with his good family background, he is able to go further.
If we use another analogy, two people who are equally stupid and lazy, but one has family support while the other doesn't, will have vastly different futures.
In terms of the broader environment, hard work may provide enough to eat and wear, but it won't make you rich.
So take the saying "hard work leads to wealth" with a grain of salt.
