No matter what era, scientists are a group worthy of respect and memory. Not every scientist is as famous as Newton or Einstein, but that doesn't mean they are not important when they are unknown. On the contrary, it is with many such selfless scientists that our society can develop and science can progress.
Many people have heard that men are better at math and physics. In some people's cognition, men are also more rational and better at scientific research than women.
But in fact, a person's achievements should not be divided by gender. As a female scientist in China, Li Aizhen, like many other female researchers, also broke this prejudice with her own achievements. However, it is such a female scientist who has been dedicating herself to the motherland, but her application for being an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was rejected four times, and she was finally elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences by the United States. Li Aizhen, 1936, from Fujian. She loved studying since she was a child, and she still got excellent grades after being admitted to Fudan University. After graduation, she was assigned to work in the Institute of Metallurgical Ceramics of China Academy of Sciences. During his working time of more than ten years, Li Aizhen studied hard in the academic field, published 256 papers and obtained 28 national patents.
She has been studying semiconductor materials for a long time and always wants to make a breakthrough in her own field. These achievements have not slowed Li Aizhen down. Until 1980, Li Aizhen finally got the opportunity to be a research scholar in the United States, which is a good thing. But after going to the United States, some bad voices began to appear around Li Aizhen. Some people questioned that she was unpatriotic and would never return to China after going to the United States, but Li Aizhen knew it very well. She just went to the United States for further study, not to pursue a superior life, so she is now.
At that time, the level of science and technology between China and the United States was very different. Many scientific research achievements in the United States are at the forefront of the world. Due to restrictions, some technologies could not be transmitted to China, so Li Aizhen began to invest in the research of emerging equipment such as molecular beam epitaxy, which was not available in China at that time, and achieved success. After discovering that China's quantum cascade lasers are far behind the United States, Li Aizhen devoted himself to related research after returning to China. It took Li Aizhen more than 20 years to make some achievements in this research on quantum cascade lasers. Fortunately, she has been recognized not only in China, but also in the world academic circles.
Although Li Aizhen, who was over 60 years old at that time, participated in domestic scientific research diligently for decades and made great contributions to China's scientific field, she didn't apply to be an academician of China for four times. Because he didn't get the recommendation from six other academicians at the same time, Li Aizhen was frustrated four times in the process of applying for a bachelor's degree in Chinese Academy of Sciences. But I didn't expect that she was frustrated at home, but she was the first to be elected as a "foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences", which is a great honor for scientists. Although the treatment of her at home and abroad is very different, Li Aizhen didn't complain. Perhaps it is not so important for her to be elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After all, people saw her achievements and she had a clear conscience.
200 1, Li Aizhen is still engaged in the work she loves after retirement. Perhaps for her, everything she did was not a job for a long time, but became her hobby and her lifelong pursuit. She doesn't care whether she can get the title of Chinese Academy of Sciences, but only cares about dedicating herself to the country and training successors like her for the country. Many people feel aggrieved by what happened to Academician Li Aizhen. When the country needed her, she didn't complain about the motherland because of the higher treatment abroad, nor did she leave. As a result, the country did not give her the honor she deserved. But as a scientist, Li Aizhen was not obsessed with fame and fortune for a long time. For her now, whether the motherland still needs her or not, she has dedicated herself to the country.
