Once you accept a task, you must carry it out.
While Zhou Yunshi was on the balcony making phone calls to book other properties, Sun Lifang finally received a call back from Liu Qing.
"Sorry, I spent the whole morning giving a report on my thoughts, but the Party and government study group was having a meeting and I wasn't allowed to... By the way, what's up?"
When Liu Qing asked that question, Sun Lifang realized it wouldn't work.
Without a reasonable explanation, she couldn't bring up the topic of Sister Liu Qing and Liu Kou.
After thinking it over, I told him about how I ran into Jin Ziduo while looking at houses nearby today.
"I do want to buy that villa, but I'm a little curious—"
The conversation started with the house, and the question arose: "Why have I never seen Jinziduo's mother?"
"My daughter Yaya said she's a scientist, is that right?"
"I've never met a scientist in real life before, I'm so curious."
The trick to starting a conversation is to be half-hearted and half-open.
First express your admiration, then wait for the other person to take the bait.
When Liu Qing heard someone praising her sister, she felt proud, but said, "It's nothing. She has always been excellent, but you shouldn't blindly worship academic qualifications."
"Just take it in stride; being a scientist is just a job for her."
"We're all the same."
No, they're not the same.
It's possible that everyone has different aspirations, but living in an era of booming national economy and accumulating so much wealth—
Sun Lifang suddenly felt unworthy.
She has not contributed anything to society.
The small businesses they did were just superficial things; they could make a hundredfold profit by exploiting cognitive differences.
With money, amidst worldly flattery, one feels arrogant and superior.
But thinking deeper, where did she get everything she has now?
At that moment, Sun Lifang understood the significance of [Zhiyuan] having her take on this order.
People are prone to laziness, and without having seen those "behind-the-scenes workers" firsthand, she always felt that she was being forced to complete a task.
They lack the selfless spirit of Liu Kou.
Dedicate oneself wholeheartedly to the people.
Sun Lifang admitted that she couldn't do that kind of empathy.
She is not a saint; she has selfish motives.
Therefore, when faced with Liu Qing's evaluation of her sister Liu Kou, Sun Lifang's tone was particularly serious: "To be honest, I really admire scientists."
He paused, then added, "I'd like to see her. Can you arrange that?"
This was the first time Sun Lifang had made such a request. Liu Qing didn't think much of it, only that the other party admired scientists, so she readily agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange a time."
Liu Kou's illness was incurable. Liu Qing pretended to be relaxed and glossed over it. Before leaving, she specifically instructed Sun Lifang, "Watch your tone. Don't pity her in front of her."
She dedicated her life to medicine, and her passion lay in immersing herself in experiments.
“You don’t understand, how many people live their whole lives in a daze.” Although Liu Qing’s tone was light, Sun Lifang could still hear the sob in her voice. “My sister has found the meaning of her life, and every day of hers is meaningful.”
So there's no need for sympathy, and don't look miserable or pitiful in front of her.
That would only make Liu Kou feel like a tragedy, and that her efforts were not worthwhile.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Lifang felt heavy-hearted.
That shouldn't be the case.
Why did such a thing have to happen to such a good person?
After testing several batches of mice with mycin, the lab selected thirty "test subjects" of different ages for rejection testing. They administered only a few tenths of a milligram, which was safe, but the effect was not noticeable at all.
In the world of biochemistry, the same formula, with just a slight change, can produce hundreds or thousands of combinations.
It's like a combination lock with ten buttons, requiring you to guess a five-digit combination.
Liu Kou, who was engrossed in her research in the laboratory, decided to test the drug on herself in order to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Because there are differences between humans and mice.
No one dares to try such a large dose; it's usually reserved for scientists in laboratories.
The madwoman Liu Kou took extreme measures, obtaining valuable data but also pushing herself to the brink of disaster.
The long-term drug trials caused her organ failure, and there was no way to save her.
“No one dares to do that, and it’s also related to her personality,” Liu Qing described Liu Kou. “She’s too radical and too smart.”
"High IQ, we can't handle this."
Sun Lifang disagreed with Liu Qing's assessment.
Without the dedication and courage of our predecessors, we wouldn't have the convenient life we enjoy today.
To give a simple example, if everyone is afraid, when will incurable diseases like "cancer" and "AIDS" be eliminated?
If one day human lifespan increases and everyone lives in an environment where they don't fear cancer, it can only mean one thing—
In places we cannot see, countless people have fallen, but they have risen again.
These are all unsung heroes.
When the old generation falls, fresh forces will take their place.
From Sun Lifang's perspective now, Liu Kou's assets are entirely justified.
Her talent is worthy of leaving her son a fortune of billions.
But despite her thoughts, Sun Lifang still felt regret, "Such a good person, how could he—"
Couldn't we be a little luckier and live a little longer?
How rare is it for a country to produce such a talent?
To reach Liu Kou's level, how much did she invest in her education, going from undergraduate to master's to doctoral level?
