Chapter 158 Pay attention to someone
Li Fumin is from Chengdu, Sichuan, and is an authentic Chengdu native.I have been in the United States for many years, and I can still hear his strong Sichuan flavor when talking with him in Chinese.

Lin Xiaobei didn't understand that no matter in terms of city size, prosperity, or convenient transportation, Chengdu is now a few blocks away from Richmond.Why did Li Fumin abandon his hometown and come to this quiet and almost remote small city to survive?
"Didn't there be a wave of immigration at that time? Besides, I never expected that China would develop so fast in the past 20 years." Li Fumin said with a little regret, showing a vague expression of loss.

"Why don't you go to big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York?" Lin Xiaobei asked puzzled.

The Chinese love to congregate and flock to big cities.Isn’t it popular in China that “the rich people in the countryside go to the county, the rich people in the county go to the city, the rich people in the city go to the province, and the rich people in the province go to the imperial capital or abroad”? ?

"Those big cities sound good, but they are far less comfortable and less stressful than living in a small city like Richmond." Li Fumin laughed.

"Then is it different for you to live in a small city in China?"

Domestic housing prices have risen rapidly in recent years, but the pressure on third-tier and fourth-tier small cities is relatively much smaller.With Li Fumin's financial resources, he can be a local rich man in a small third-tier city in China, which is far more comfortable than living here by opening a small supermarket.

Li Fumin said with a wry smile: "It's hard to say. In China, I feel that Chengdu is very poor. I want to go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but I feel that it is very difficult to get along. So I went to the United States to develop and found that Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York are actually very different from the big cities in China. It’s just as difficult to mix, and then I came to Richmond when I had no choice but to live in Richmond for more than ten years, and I got used to the life here.”

He said with some reluctance: "You think it's strange? In fact, there are many Chinese like me in the United States, not only the migrant workers. Even many elite professors are like this."

"In China, those professors are concentrated in big cities, and non-first-tier cities can hardly retain talents. But if you look at their life trajectory in the United States, many of them live in some small cities in the United States."

"For example, at Virginia Commonwealth University, where you are studying now, a Chinese professor returned to China to teach in a university in Shanghai not long ago. The cities he stayed in the United States were Cleveland, Rochester, and Richmond. These cities have different status in the United States. It is a small city that is not in the mainstream, and it is not even considered a fourth-tier city in China, but once he returns to China, he must ask for a mega city such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and even if the best university invites him to a remote area, he will not go.”

Li Fumin continued to laugh at himself: "So, don't be surprised. It may be due to different national conditions, or a different concept. In the United States, poor people live in big cities, and small and medium cities are the ideal places for elites to live. "

This point of view is really hard to refute, because Lin Xiaobei knows that the United States is like this, the most famous universities such as Yale University, Hopkins University, including Princeton University where Einstein retired, are located in very small cities , the size of a Chinese town is equivalent to a small county with a very small population.

Princeton University is even located in a small town with a population of less than [-].And the professor who caused great controversy in China, didn't he just give up the superior conditions of QH University and come to this university to work?

In China, if a prestigious university is moved to a small town, no matter how famous the university is, it will slowly sink.

Lanzhou University, University of Science and Technology of China, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Xi'an Jiaotong University, which used to be famous in China, are not in decline now?

……

In the evening at Fan Yinghao's house, Lin Xiaobei ate the first dumpling after coming to America.Han Muqing is from Dalian, and his dough rolling technique is quite exquisite.

"Don't confront Aamir Khan Dro in the future." Han Muqing persuaded.

"I didn't fight against him!" Lin Xiaobei explained, "His method of anesthetizing mice has long been eliminated."

"Did you always receive anesthesia like this in China?" Han Muqing asked, "Why did I still receive intraperitoneal anesthesia when I was a graduate student in China?"

"This is my own method." Lin Xiaobei said with a smile, "This method has the least impact on the mice, right?"

Han Muqing nodded, "I mean I can't find it in the literature."

She said objectively: "Compared with other students in the laboratory, Aamir Khan Dro is pretty good. He is a bit arrogant, but if you have any difficulties, he will help you enthusiastically, so everyone It was nice to get along with him.”

This is consistent with Lin Xiaobei's impression of Aamir Khan Dro. Otherwise, wouldn't there be many contradictions when the two lived together?

In fact, after living together for a while, Lin Xiaobei gradually got used to Aamir Khan Dro.He doesn't like to wash clothes, and he doesn't pay much attention to hygiene, but he also noticed Lin Xiaobei's feelings. He often packed his change of clothes and sent them to the school's dry cleaners, and tied up the garbage left by himself with garbage bags. Time to take away...

It is very good to be able to get along with someone who has different living habits like this.

But Aamir Khan Dro is not completely ignorant of Lin Xiaobei. He doesn't like Lin Xiaobei's use of disposable chopsticks, he doesn't like Lin Xiaobei eating beef buns in the house, and he doesn't like Lin Xiaobei before going to bed at night and in the morning. The habit of brushing your teeth after getting up...

"We are trying to adapt to each other." Lin Xiaobei said with a smile.

His particular headache is that Aamir Khan Dro likes to wear perfume, and it is a very strong one.Every day when he came out of the bathroom, Lin Xiaobei wished he could take an electric fan and blow it in for a few minutes before going in.

"Actually, there is another classmate in the lab that you didn't notice." Han Muqing said.

"Oh, who is it?" Lin Xiaobei was a little surprised. He knew everyone in the lab now, but he was not familiar with them. characteristics and hobbies.

"Odo Lai Shu."

"Him?" Lin Xiaobei asked curiously, "Dahu Lai Shu?"

That was an international student from Japan. Like Lin Xiaobei, he was not very talkative in the laboratory, and he didn't like to communicate with others, so Lin Xiaobei didn't have a deep impression of him, nor did he think he was outstanding.

Han Muqing said with a smile: "Don't underestimate him. He is actually stronger than Aamir Khan Dro, but he is very low-key. He comes from the famous Kyoto University in Japan and has been studying in Hull Laboratory for almost half a year."

Those who can come to study in the Hull laboratory, except for Lin Xiaobei who thinks that his qualifications are relatively low, everyone else must have something extraordinary. He asked, "What are the characteristics of this big Lai Shu?"

"I only noticed him recently, because his experimental data is perfect, even better than that of Aamir Khan Dro. I observed him secretly for a week, and found that his handling of animals is very clever, but to him When asking for advice, this person was disgusting, deliberately perfunctory, and seemed to disdain to deal with us."

"Oh." Lin Xiaobei thought in his heart, this big family Lai Shu is the real "talented and proud"!
