• 2．    "I want to work full-time in China，honey." An overseas call awakened the wife from sound sleep. "Why？" asked the wife with surprise，in a drowsy （昏昏欲睡的） voice，from the other side of the ocean.
      In the United States，he had a great future ahead.At the age of 36，he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University，for his academic achievements.At 40，he became a tenured （终身的） chair professor at Princeton.
      When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others，he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University，to an affluent life in the United States，and return to China.

"So far as I'm concerned，awards are of no special meaning." Shi says calmly.
      In his 18 years of study in the United States，he never forgot his Chinese dream.In the next 18 years，the Chinese dream will be more beautiful and greater by the efforts of Shi Yigong and the likes of him.
