Features: As the era progresses into the 21st century, due to the rapid development of science, we are living a very prosperous and convenient life. However, science did not develop overnight. It was the relentless efforts of countless scientists that brought us today's glorious achievements. Among these scientists, there were those who grew up in adversity, as well as those who faced expulsion from school due to not adapting to school life. They were not great people from the very beginning. People who grew up in environments not much different from ours—why were they able to become legendary figures and earn people's respect? The reason lies in their indomitable spirit of challenge and research, as well as their selfless dedication to serving human development. This book introduces the lives of 16 scientists through an engaging comic format, showcasing their unwavering commitment to science. It is hoped that while children ponder their common traits, they will also dream of becoming the second Newton, the second Edison, or the second Marie Curie. In doing so, one day you may suddenly realize that you have unknowingly become more like these scientists.
