He Jiang, who grew up in rural Hunan, said that when he was in middle school, he was so frightened that he went to his mother, who did not take him to the doctor, but put his hand on the fire. Then his mother made several layers of wine-soaked cotton yarn around his hand, put a chopstick in his mouth, told him to bite tightly, and finally lit the cotton yarn. ”

“……”

Wu Bin can imagine how much it hurts.

"The temperature on the cotton yarn soon rose, and his hands began to burn, and the burning pain made him almost crazy, but he bit his chopsticks and couldn't scream, the only thing he could do was look at the bones of his hand, and a minute passed, and two minutes passed, until his mother extinguished the fire."

Seeing Wu Bin gasp, Song Nanfeng patted him on the shoulder and continued: "In the small mountain village where he lives, there is no car, no telephone, no electricity, not even running water, let alone any modern medical resources. ”

Fifteen years after the accident, he lamented, his hand is recovering well, but he is often plagued by the uneven distribution of scientific knowledge. They have learned how to edit human genomes, explained many secrets about cancer, they are able to easily control neuronal movements, and every year, biomedical research leads to a lot of progress and exciting changes in every scientist's endeavor. ”

Sighing, Song Nanfeng looked at Wu Bin and said, "Speaking of this, his expression changed to the same as when you asked me what medicine can do with physics." ”

Wu Bin nodded and did not speak.

Song Nanfeng continued: "Although they have achieved many great achievements, they have no way to pass them on to the places where they are most needed, according to the World Bank, 12% of the world's population lives on less than $2 a day."

"According to the World Health Organization, three million children die of malnutrition every year, 300 million people worldwide are affected by malaria, and we can see countless problems of poverty, sickness and lack of resources that lead to the lack of scientific information around the world."

"Although most people know that if they are sick, they have to go to the doctor, but in many economically underdeveloped areas of the world, after being bitten by a spider, they still use fire to treat them."

Seeing that Wu Bin was fascinated, Song Nanfeng did not stop, and then continued: "During his studies at Harvard, he understood how scientific knowledge can help others in a simple and profound way.

"In 2000, there was a flu in his hometown, and those folk treatments were completely helpless against this disease, and what was worse was that the farmers didn't know the difference between the common cold and the flu, they didn't understand that the flu was much more deadly than the cold."

Then he realized that simple hygienic treatments, such as isolating animals, could treat the disease, and he thought of a way to make his hometown more accessible to this science.

It was his first amazement as a biologist, but it was more than that, it was a crucial turning point in his own conceptual upliftment, and a turning point in his self-understanding as a member of the planet."

"The university encourages them to dream big, to make a difference in the world, to make a big difference! However, when he remembered his hometown, he realized how important it was to pass on knowledge to those who needed it. ”

"Our society has always emphasized the importance of science and innovation, but it is equally important to pass on this knowledge equally to those who need it!"

"Changing the world doesn't mean that everyone should discover something great, it can be as simple as becoming a disseminator of knowledge and spreading more knowledge to people like her mom who live in areas where there is no industrial industry."

"Finally, it is also a sentence that I agree with very much." Song Nanfeng paused and said: "If we work hard, then in the future, if a teenager in rural Huaguo is asked by a poisonous spider, he will no longer burn his hand with fire, but go to the doctor." ”

After listening to the last sentence, Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Professor, your words mean a lot to me. ”

"This is not my words, it is He Jiang's, he is a student who is very proud of me." Song Nanfeng said with a smile.

"That's what you taught well." After Wu Bin finished speaking, he looked at the sky that had already darkened a little, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable.

After going to the welfare home, Wu Bin thought a lot, and what he saw that time was a welfare home in the downtown area of Huhai City, which was often concerned by district leaders, although the children in it were not very healthy, although they lacked the family affection that the children craved most, but at least they still had good material conditions.

There is food, drink, clothing, and good teachers like Fang Qing, Feng Ling, and Qin Tao.

But what about in some areas where such conditions are not available? There will also be abandoned children, what is their life like?

Wu Bin felt a sense of powerlessness when he thought of this, but after listening to what Professor Song Nanfeng said, he realized that no matter what, if he worked hard, he might be able to make more people in more places understand the importance of prenatal examination, and if he worked hard, it would be possible for children in more places to get the most basic living space, if he worked hard......

In short, there is nothing to feel powerless, all this what he sees and hears should become the driving force for him to move forward!

"Looks like you've figured it out." Looking at Wu Bin's comfortable expression, Song Nanfeng asked.

Wu Bin: "Yes, I want to understand a very important thing, thank you." ”

"It's a pleasure to be able to come after listening to such a speech." Song Nanfeng nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and looked at his watch; "Okay, it's dinner time, let's go, I'll take you to see the food of our University of Science and Technology."

"Okay."

Follow Song Nanfeng to drive to the student cafeteria with Dongyuan Restaurant written on it, and as soon as he walked in, Wu Bin felt that the layout inside was very simple, giving people a very bright feeling.

"Take whatever you want, I'll treat you." After taking out the meal card, Song Nanfeng said magnificently.

"Then thank you, Professor Song."

After thanking him, Wu Bin picked up the dinner plate and found that there was a cute calf on it, and said with some surprise: "This is really a sudden cute wind." ”

Song Nanfeng smiled after reading it and explained: "This, in fact, is also the embodiment of the spirit of our University of Science and Technology, and the spirit of Ruzi Niu runs through the stealth culture. ”

"Ruzi Niu!?" Glancing at the cartoon calf on the dinner plate, Wu Bin couldn't help laughing.
