In 2014, Shi Ruichuan, who was still a junior at China Medical University, followed the school’s club “Cradle of Red Medicine—People’s Medical Corps Originating from the Red Army” for the first time and went to Zhuanghe area of Dalian City, Liaoning Province to provide early screening diagnosis and treatment services for gastric cancer. .
Zhuanghe area used to be one of the places with high incidence of gastric cancer in my country. At that time, Shi Ruichuan saw that the local medical technology was backward and the villagers' awareness of cancer prevention was weak, so he came up with the idea of becoming an oncologist.
"The growth process of a medical student is long." Shi Ruichuan knew that future career planning cannot be based on "a whim." Since she chooses a path, she must "go to the end", and her "go" lasts for 10 years.
After making up his mind, Shi Ruichuan set out to form a disease management team to carry out medical services to the countryside. In the past 10 years, Shi Ruichuan and his team have sent a total of 68 groups of members to complete 4,296 cases of gastric cancer screening, helping the Zhuanghe area transform from a gastric cancer high incidence area into a demonstration area for early tumor screening.
Shi Ruichuan, who graduated with a doctorate in 2021, has now grown into a specialist oncologist.
There are many students like Shi Ruichuan who took root in the front line because of an opportunity and fulfilled their commitments. On the morning of June 12, young student representatives from all over the country gathered at the national launch ceremony of the China International College Student Innovation Competition (2024) "Youth Red Dream-Building Journey" activity, with the theme "My position is in the countryside, in the workshop, in the desert, With the theme of "In the Deep Sea, in the Blue Sky", he shared his innovative and entrepreneurial practices in the fields of primary medical care, intelligent manufacturing, green environment, maritime and air equipment.
What is the reason that allows a native "southern little potato" to take root in the desert and work there for 6 years? The answer given by Nie Qixia, a doctoral student at Chongqing Jiaotong University, is "keep the oasis and the people's homes."
In 2019, Nie Qixia, who was still an undergraduate, set foot on the Ulan Bhe Desert in Inner Mongolia for the first time with her teacher. Before that, she “didn’t have much idea” about the desert.
"Since then, the desert has become my second home." Nie Qixia spends four or five months in the desert every year, braving the yellow sand and scorching sun during the day, and enduring the biting cold wind at night. Everything she does All of this is to develop the key technology of "desert soilization" and achieve "sand-gathering to form soil".
Under the harsh natural conditions, Nie Qixia also had the idea of giving up. But by chance, she and her schoolmates came to a village eroded by the desert. Due to severe desertification, the villagers had to leave their homes and the place became an "uninhabited village."
Nie Qixia was touched. She decided to persevere and use what she learned to protect this place. Through hard work, Nie Qixia's team has achieved success in more than 20 experimental sites such as deserts, Gobis, islands, and desertified grasslands at home and abroad, with a transformation area of 40,000 acres.
"When I saw such big radishes growing in the desert that used to be barren, as well as watermelons, tomatoes, peppers and other fruits and vegetables, while ecological management, it can also bring good benefits to the people in the sandy area, I felt Our work is worthwhile!" Nie Qixia said with a smile.
For the future, Nie Qixia has her own "small calculation". She and her team made a calculation: even if only 1% of my country's desertified land is transformed, more than 20 million acres of usable land will be added. "That is so meaningful!" Nie Qixia sighed. Although this goal is a bit far away, she is willing to give the answer with persistence.
Some people persist in the desert, while others persist in the deep sea.
"Listen, this is the sound from the deep sea." Zhang Xuanye, an undergraduate student at Harbin Engineering University, played a 6-second recording at the launch ceremony, eliciting a story from the deep sea.
The deep sea is the largest unknown area on the earth. If you want to realize the dream of "catching turtles in the five oceans", an acoustic release is indispensable. It is like a combination lock on deep-sea equipment and is the key to ensuring long-term deployment and safe recovery of deep-sea equipment.
In February 2024, Zhang Xuanye and 17 scientific expedition team members boarded a scientific research ship heading to the Western Pacific to deploy a domestic deep-sea acoustic release device at a depth of 7,000 meters.
During their time at sea, they never gave up and stayed at their experimental posts in the face of many challenges such as seasickness, typhoons, and huge waves.
At 4 a.m. on March 25, the scientific research ship arrived at the predetermined point and prepared to recover the seabed equipment. Zhang Xuanye nervously pressed the signal transmission button. It only takes more than ten seconds for the acoustic signal to be transmitted to the deep sea, and then transmitted back to the surface through feedback from the release device. However, these short ten seconds are filled with countless efforts.
“The scientific expedition team members on the same ship often ask me, ‘Does the performance of domestic equipment work?’, and every time I say firmly, ‘No problem.’” Even though he said this, Zhang Xuanye was still nervous.
At this moment, Zhang Xuanye heard a beautiful sound. This is a signal echo from the deep sea, which represents the successful "unlocking" of the domestic acoustic release device in the deep sea.
“When we saw the five-star red flag on the acoustic release device surface, the whole ship shouted with excitement.” Zhang Xuanye said with a smile that he felt extremely proud of his perseverance and dedication in the deep-sea position.
As the "Qian Xuesen Digital Man" generated by AI technology at the launch ceremony said, "There is no young person who does not stumble and bumps into a few nails." But "don't lose confidence, as long as you persevere, you will eventually succeed." There are results.”
