"Don't let go, take off, or fall off under any storm!" Researcher Li Wei, a Naval Medical University, joined the People's Army in 2010 and became a civilian. He devoted himself to research in the field of nanomedicine and used his life to serve the army. He said that he was just a screw, and the battlefield could be between nanosized!
CCTV News "China UP! 》New Year's Day special planning, Li Wei shared his story of serving the country for 15 years.
In most people's impression, the battlefield of soldiers should be vast sky, thousands of miles of sea, or border posts and peacekeeping camps; the daily life of soldiers should be carrying guns and cannons, walking towards war, or driving heavy weapons of a great power, going to the sky and into the sea...
As a military civilian specializing in nanotechnology, Li Wei's battlefield is somewhat different. It is a battlefield that is only one thousandth of the size of a hair, much smaller than a single bacteria. By analogy, it can be understood that when a nanoparticle is placed on the surface of a ping-pong ball, it is equivalent to a ping-pong ball placed on the surface of the earth.
Li Wei’s daily life is to conduct scientific research on this “granule” that is invisible and intangible to the naked eye.
In 2010, Li Wei ended his foreign nanotechnology research work and returned to China. With the encouragement of his doctoral supervisor and Academician Wu Qi of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Wei made a crucial decision in his life - to join the People's Army and become one of the earliest civilian personnel in the entire army.
Many people around you don’t understand such a choice.
But for Li Wei, joining the army and serving the country is a dream that has been rooted in his heart for many years.
Li Wei was born in the old revolutionary base in Dabie Mountains, Anhui Province. He felt that joining the army was a very glorious thing since he was a child.
