Stephen Hawking 1942 1.8 was born in Oxford, England, which is a special day. Galileo, the founder of modern science, died on the same day 300 years ago. He was terminally ill when he was young, but he persevered, overcame his pain and became a world-famous scientist.
Hawking went to Cambridge University for postgraduate study after graduating from Oxford University. At this time, he was diagnosed as "Luger's disease" and soon became completely paralyzed. 1985 Hawking underwent tracheal surgery for pneumonia. After that, he couldn't speak at all, and he could only talk to people with a small dialogue machine and a speech synthesizer installed in a wheelchair. Reading must rely on a page turning machine.

However, Hawking will not give up his desire for learning because of a minor illness. It is in this incredible hardship that ordinary people have become the giants of gravitational physics recognized by the world. Hawking is a Luxun professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. His black hole evaporation theory and quantum cosmology not only shocked natural science, but also had a far-reaching impact on philosophy and religion. Hawking also published A Brief History of Time, 1988, in April, and has distributed 5.5 million copies in 33 languages. Nowadays in the west, people who claim to be educated will be looked down upon if they have not read this book.
During the decades when Li Shizhen wrote Compendium of Materia Medica, he read more than 800 kinds of classics.

At the same time, I consulted many doctors, pharmacists, woodcutters, fishermen and others with practical experience, and finally identified and verified more than 1000 drugs recorded in past dynasties, and made new scientific conclusions for them.
In order to study meteorology, Zhu Kezhen, a famous scientist in China, always walks to work every day, detours the park and observes the activities of animals and plants. Whether it's dog days or dog days, it's always like this. (A few words point out Zhu Kezhen's persistence in meteorological research. This has played a great role in his research work.
