My sample
As far as I am concerned, a great scientist should be determined. For example, having overcome some difficulties in the US, Qian returned to China in 1955, when China was poor and its rocket science was undeveloped. His determination allowed him to take on the challenge despite the absence of talents or experts in the field, laying the foundation for China’s subsequent breakthroughs in aerospace.
