Features: Einstein was a scientist, but he went beyond the scientific community, becoming a scholar revered by all circles; Einstein was German, but people of all nations respected him globally; Einstein was a great figure of the 20th century, but for generations to come, he will forever be celebrated---Einstein was such a historical figure who transcended nationality and time. At the same time, there are not a few scientists who achieved no less than him, but why could only he win unparalleled worldwide fame? It’s not just because of the invention of the "Theory of Relativity"! Those who know him well know that he possessed a temperament unlike other scientists. Some compared him to Tagore of science (the poet saint of India) because he had a heart full of compassion for humanity and empathy for all living beings; and these two great sages shared a deep friendship. Whether in the difficulties of studying or finding a job, or under the persecution of Nazi tyranny, Einstein never diminished his passion for researching physics, advocating peace, and pursuing freedom; no matter how harsh the environment, he remained calm and stood firm like a mountain. The greater the difficulty, the more his perseverance was evident; the deeper the persecution, the more his noble character was revealed---such a man of integrity who was not corrupted by wealth, moved by poverty, or subdued by power, naturally earned eternal reverence from the world!
