Life is like the separation of stars; as they move, so do we. On this very night, under this candlelight, how time flies.
The duty of a scientist is to urge us to keep striving, to fully reveal the mysteries of nature, and to master these mysteries to benefit humanity in the future.
As dawn approaches, the passion remains unspent, watching alone as the Milky Way fades and the morning stars sink. When love is deep, he sees her as the highest and purest moon, or perhaps Chang'e in the moon. Thus, he would rather the sun never rise again, so he could sink into darkness with her, preserving the beautiful moments of love held within his fingertips. — An Yiru, "If Life Were Only Like the First Meeting"
Cities are vast and countries are many, but talent is like gold wherever it is found. You have plenty of time and opportunity to turn yourself into a diamond; without effort, you will remain merely a common pebble by the roadside.
