Features: Around 50 years ago, I learned about Einstein's legendary life and his great scientific contributions from a biography of scientists. At that time, I was still young and naive, under the influence of a fervent admiration for Einstein, I decided to study physics and even swore to my friends that I would be as loyal to the cause of physics as Einstein and make contributions worthy of him. 45 years have passed, and I have indeed "graduated" from the Physics Department of Lanzhou University, and after 20 years of hardship, I have returned to a high school as a "mud-legged person" to teach physics. My life experience is quite legendary, but the dream of my high school days was fundamentally shattered. Of course, even without the 20-year village life through wind and rain, I would never have been able to make contributions "worthy of" Einstein, because I am simply not the material for it. The dreams of my youth were just the "idle ambitions of a young man" and are not worth mentioning.
