Chapter 1 Returning to China

w. In the Honolulu International Airport in Hawaii, a Boeing 747-100 passenger plane painted with the "united" United Airlines mark, after refueling in the transition, whistling back into the blue sky. Jian Zhikang leaned on his comfortable aviation seat and stared at the flowing clouds floating under the wings through the oval porthole beside him, and the blue sky that was beyond the edge was uneasy.

As the project director of electronic induction components at Bell Laboratory in the United States, it can be said that he has stood at the peak of his industry. He is completely qualified to be called a first-class scientist in the outside world.

The thing that made Jian Zhikang feel uncomfortable was due to a normal greeting contact between classmates last year. When he was studying at MIT, Su Liangyu and himself lived in the same dormitory. Due to his similar majors and similar tempers, the two have always had very close personal relationships. Even after Su Liangyu resolutely returned to China, the two sides still maintained monthly telephone exchanges.

Jian Zhikang was very impressed by his old friend who had been with him for more than ten years. In the circle of overseas Chinese engineers or scientists, few people resolutely gave up their originally superior working conditions and generous rewards for their saint-like ideals and embarked on the road to return home that seemed dangerous and extremely dangerous. After all, among the returning people in the 1950s, many of the tragic encounters seemed like yesterday. Who can guarantee that the experiences of their predecessors would not repeat themselves?

As Su Liangyu's life in China extended and through daily telephone communication, Jian Zhikang also had a clear understanding of the current situation of the domestic microelectronics industry. In scientific research, especially the cutting-edge technology such as the microelectronics industry, the political atmosphere has become much looser. It can be said that the interference from political factors is almost nothing, but due to the weak economic factors in the country and the rigid planned economic system, the comprehensive conditions for scientific research in China are still far inferior to those in the United States.

At the end of last year, an old friend expressed his intention to return to the United States to work. After finishing the work at hand, he accepted an invitation from Intel to return to the United States to continue the research and development of microprocessors.

For scientists at the level of Su Liangyu, material factors are secondary reasons, and career progress and success are what they desire most.

What Jian Zhikang unexpectedly was that in just half a year, Su Liangyu's attitude made a sharp turn of 180 degrees. Not only did he completely refuse Intel's job invitation, but he also ran from Jiangsu, Nan, Jing to Liaoning, Shengjing. He jumped from a large national research institution to an unknown unit. He was also stunned for a long time at the time.

What is even more intriguing is that the old friend's attitude was from the beginning: he was unwilling to go back to the United States like this, and he tried the last time. He said passionately: The domestic microelectronics market is completely blank at present, and the future development space is wider than your imagination. Until recently, after learning that the contract between him and Bell Labs was about to expire, he began to lobby for himself to return to work. What happened in the middle?

If you can become a top scientist in the industry, some people may have an emotional intelligence below the level, but their IQ is definitely the top. Every time you ask for the reason, old friends will smile and not answer, but try their best to persuade them to return to China and see the answer with their own eyes.

For overseas Chinese, fallen leaves come from the identity and resonance of culture that has been passed down for five thousand years, and are also the inherent characteristic culture of the entire Chinese nation. They have nothing to do with politics or system. What can arouse the unspeakable emotions in your heart is that big river, that big river, the white snowy land, the vast grassland, and the magnificent mountains and rivers that linger in your dreams from time to time. It has nothing to do with the changed patriotic feelings in the official mouth.

Jian Zhikang also had a very curious attitude towards the regime that grew up in the mainland and claimed to be orthodox. Only when he was overseas could he better understand the strength of his motherland. It was closely related to himself. However, facing the rolling red current that was raging more than ten years ago, as an ordinary person, all he could do was just a sigh.

If you are determined to kill a thief, you are powerless to turn the world back.

Therefore, when the mainland announced the change of opening and Su Liangyu returned to China resolutely, it caused quite a stir in the circle of Chinese engineers and scientists. Excluding a few jokes, most people were also sweating for Su Liangyu while admiring it. At the same time, they were cautiously looking at the development of things with hope and longing. Apart from being crazy, who doesn’t want their motherland to prosper and be extremely powerful?

Anyway, in five or six hours, he will know the answer. Jian Zhikang took a look at the flight attendant who was pushing a cart from the end of the cabin aisle and was about to hand over the meal. He pulled the sunshade on the porthole and took a nap after lunch. He must have a good chat when he saw Su Liangyu in the evening and saw what this old friend was doing. Jian Zhikang thought.

Liang Yuan was frequently moving his body in the seat of the Volga co-pilot, looking a little restless.

"Xiaoyuan, you looked at the watch seven times, opened the glove box twice, and the window three times." Su Liangyu said with a smile.

"Isn't this a little nervous? Director of the Institute of Electronic Induction Devices of Bell Laboratory, such a big name, a truly world-class expert. I actually plan to invite such scientists to work in the Science and Technology Park. Now when I think about it, my heart beats a little faster." Liang Yuan said with some sigh.

"Xiaoyuan, I am also a top international expert. I wasn't excited when you lied to me to work in the Science and Technology Park."

"The so-called foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm from outside, too."

"Take it down, Lao Su, you are called exports to domestic sales, it's worthless." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

This time Jian Zhikang returned to China with light car since Jian did not notify any department in China as a private matter. Otherwise, with Jian Zhikang's position in the electronic device industry, if he went to Shengjing for technical exchanges as an official position, at least the provincial Science and Technology Department, the United Front Work Department and the Science and Technology Bureau under the Shengjing Municipal Party Committee will send supervisors to the airport to pick up the plane and welcome them.

The deafening roar of the aviation engine in the sky was like rolling thunder. Liang Yuan looked up at the staggered navigation lights on the skyline, raised his hand to look at the time, and turned around and said to Su Liangyu: "Old Su, I will go in with you to pick up the plane. Will Director Jian be very troubled?"

"Haha, I'm very curious too. Xiaoyuan was shocked at the beginning, and I was also very looking forward to what expression my old friend would look like when he learned everything." Su Liangyu said with a big laugh.

Liang Yuan and Su Liangyu got out of the car and turned around and entered the waiting hall of Taoxian Airport across the road.

Jian to Kang was full of dust. After arriving at Capital Airport by United Airlines, he had to transfer to Air China's Beiping to Shengjing flights. He did not land at Shengjing Taoxian Airport until after 6 pm. Taoxian Airport in the 1980s did not have a direct boarding bridge. After getting off the plane, he had to walk a distance in the open air and then enter the waiting hall to collect his luggage and leave the airport.

After the plane stopped, the cold wind blew in the face as soon as the cabin door opened. Jian Zhikang tightened his coat and walked off the plane along the gangway. Looking into the distance, the airport lights were full of darkness. Thinking about the sparse lights on the ground that he saw through the plane porthole before landing, he shook his head in sighing. It seemed that the mainland of the motherland was still very backward.

Following the abortion of people, I went to the luggage collection hall. After getting my luggage back, I turned two turns along the prompt sign and turned into the lobby of the terminal building. I looked up at Su Liangyu, who had not seen him for more than two years. I was holding a piece of cardboard with three big words Jian Zhikang written on it and looking at the exit of the passage. Seeing Su Liangyu discovering herself, Jian Zhikang waved to his old friend excitedly and walked over quickly. Welcome to your support, my greatest motivation.m
