Chapter 022: Roommates and Circles

As a Reds fan, living in 1979 was undoubtedly the happiest era, with three crowns in four years, and this year's new season has just started and it has been very strong. In this era of no Owen and no Gerald, there is Dalglish, the eternal king of Anfield. In tonight's double-red match, he scored a goal and provided an assist, and the Red Devils were already full of teeth at half-time.

It's a pity that Li Xuan in his previous life was a fan of my big Real Madrid, when he first started watching the game, it was really the moment when the Real Madrid Galaxy Fleet swept all directions, and then he gradually fell in love with another sport, American football, after going to the football desert in the United States.

Nowadays, Hong Kong only broadcasts the English League, and every weekend night, a group of boys who love to play football in the dormitory will gather in the living room on the ground floor to put beer and snacks on the table and watch the game together. Li Xuan's passion for football, which had gradually faded, has been resurrected, and without Real Madrid, he has switched to the Red Army Liverpool. From this point, it can also be seen that he is the essence of a pseudo-fan, and he does not have the loyal quality of a real fan.

Under the constant temptation of Li Xuan, his roommate Lin Yuhao has also recently fallen in love with kicking waves, and Hong Kong people call kicking balls kicking waves. Li Xuan originally thought that his roommate was a little introverted, but after getting along for a long time, he found that the other party was actually a very cheerful person.

Lin Yuhao's father's name is Lin Guitai, one of the few Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, and his Lin Group is a large enterprise spanning textile, real estate, and hotel industries.

Although he was born into a wealthy family, Lin Yuhao's identity was very embarrassing in the Lin family. He is not from the main room, his mother is just a lowly escort girl, because Lin Guitai had a drunken accident**, and as a result, she became pregnant with Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao's mother later married, and she may not want to have a relationship with the Hong Kong billionaire Lin family again in her life. But as fate would have it, she and her husband were in a car accident on the way out to deliver goods, and before dying, she asked the doctor to call Lin Guitai and tell the secret that had been kept for nearly 20 years.

After Lin Yuhao's mother died, Lin Guitai confirmed that he was indeed his own flesh and blood through the guò paternity test technology, so he took Lin Yuhao home to raise him, when Lin Yuhao was already 15 years old. He also has two older brothers and an older sister from Lin Guitai's original wife Liu, and the youngest is seven or eight years older than him.

Although Liu is not harsh on Lin Yuhao, and the arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation are very proper, the psychological indifference and alienation are actually the most uncomfortable. Lin Yuhao, who originally lived in a civilian family, was also very unsuitable for the so-called wealthy life, and the eyes of the two brothers looked at him with undisguised scrutiny and defense, which made him very depressed in the past few years.

Originally, Lin Guitai planned to arrange for his younger son to study in the UK after graduating from middle school, just like his first two sons. But Lin Yuhao, who is not good at English, did not want to go to a strange country where he was unfamiliar, so he refused his father's arrangement and insisted on choosing to study at Chinese University in Hong Kong.

For Lin Yuhao, studying in college is like being locked in a cage and gaining freedom, and he can easily and happily soar in the sky. So apart from going home once a month to greet his father and his nominal mother, he was reluctant to return to the Lin mansion in Clear Water Bay, because he didn't feel a trace of warmth at home there.

Li Xuan heard all these inside stories from a gossipy classmate in the dormitory next door. It is said that when Lin Yuhao first recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, many tabloids in Hong Kong reported this incident as a series of gossip about wealthy families.

It was already twelve o'clock when the Double Red War ended, and everyone went back to their bedrooms to sleep. Lin Yuhao has also been discussing Dalglish's first-half goal with Li Xuan along the way, and he has recently become a die-hard fan of the Reds. Maybe it's because I've been too depressed at home in the past few years, Li Xuan feels that his roommate has been talking more and more recently, and it's about to turn into chatter.

Of course, according to Lin Yuhao's own words, he was making a rehearsal for next week's election for the student council of United College, and now he talks and practices more so that he will not be able to say a word when he walks on the podium.

Li Xuan could only reluctantly accept his reason. In fact, Li Xuan is still happy for his roommate and friend, after all, he can not be depressed after encountering such a setback in life, and continue to be enthusiastic about life, his heart is strong enough.

The next day was the weekend, and the two slept in, got up, and went downstairs to the restaurant for lunch together. After lunch, Lin Yuhao went back to the study room of the dormitory to continue reading, while Li Xuan went to visit Professor Zhao's house in the faculty dormitory.

Professor Chiu, whose full name is Chiu Wai-ming, is the Associate Head of the Department of Electronic Engineering at CUHK and offers several courses in electronic circuits, semiconductors and devices, and principles and technologies of semiconductor devices. Li Xuan had gone to audit several of his classes after the start of school, so Professor Zhao quickly noticed that he was an unfamiliar face who often appeared in the aftermath of his class.

Zhao Weiming graduated from the University of London with a degree in electrical engineering and later received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology. After receiving his Ph.D., he joined RCA Corporation in the United States to work on semiconductor circuit design. In 1974, he was invited by Professor Charles Kao, then Head of the Department of Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong Chinese, to return to CUHK to teach in the Department of Electronics. Professor Charles Kao, known as the "Father of Optical Fiber", later became the Vice-Chancellor of CUHK and was the winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Li Xuan is now studying in computing studies at CUHK, but in his previous life, his main major in university was microelectronics, and after studying in the United States, he obtained a master's degree in electrical engineering at Berkeley.

After being reborn, Li Xuan, after careful consideration, finally decided to continue to enter the university gate and study in college again. In addition to getting a diploma to protect the knowledge and technology in his mind that has been ahead of the world for 30 years, he also has a very important purpose, which is to broaden his network.

The circle of high-tech fields such as semiconductors is actually very small and closed. There are only three higher education institutions in Hong Kong that offer electronics-related majors, and in addition to HKU and CUHK, there is also the Hong Kong Polytechnic. However, the Hong Kong Polytechnic offers a two-year honors program, which can only award associate degrees at most, and only trains junior talents.

Although the University of Hong Kong already has a major in electronics, it has not yet recruited undergraduate students, and only trains a few graduate students every year. Even CUHK, which was the first to open the Department of Electronics, has been in the dark for less than a decade since 1970 when Professor Charles Kao was invited to return to Hong Kong to help establish the Department of Electronics.

Although Li Xuan opened the aura of rebirth, he never imagined that he could start a career by himself, and the first step to recruit talents and find helpers was to squeeze into this circle.
