Name: A Student Abroad in the 1950s
Author: Pineapple Sea

Synopsis

(The score is still new and will go up.) As a college student who believed everyone saying the 21st century was the age of biochemistry, chemical engineering, materials, and environmental science, I got buried in one of those hellish majors. Jiang Yueyun prayed to every god he could think of, using his ID number to beg for a job after graduation. Then his job placement sent him straight to 1956. So the 21st century isn't the age of those fields after all? The 1950s are?

Factory Director Li: "Why would a food factory technician build a heavy sniper rifle?"

Research Institute Director: "Factory Director Li, congratulations on your fortune!"

FBI: "Berkeley misjudged Jiang Yueyun yesterday, and it's misjudging him again today. Maybe it'll do the same tomorrow. Call Berkeley again!"

Berkeley: "Dr. Jiang is an outstanding alumnus and distinguished figure who will always belong to our school. If MIT can put up his name, why can't Berkeley? Destroy every record of Jiang's dismissal, expulsion, and withdrawal!"

Principal: "If I hear one more thing about Jiang Yueyun's output, I'll stab my own ears deaf!"

Lao Su: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Foreign Minister: "I've said my piece. Who's with me, and who's against me?"

Graduate student: "Professor Jiang's class isn't scary. It's like a cool summer night, offering worry-free sleep." (That's because they can't understand a word and keep dozing off! Graduate student: "Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?!")

C-Station: "Every time Old Jiang builds a major national treasure, he rewards himself by handcrafting a food-preparation gadget."

Music app: "Old Jiang's MVP end-of-match theme... The pear blossoms in the courtyard have faded, and another year has passed..."

My friend, the story you wrote is very exciting and very good, but the literary skills need to be improved to make people feel immersed in it and make people feel a little uncomfortable watching it. I can't feel immersed in it. I can't explain it. It's like playing a game and it's a third-party perspective.

It's okay, but the text is a bit mechanical.

As for the heroine, it actually represents and hints at Jiang Yueyun's three choices: 1. Intellectuals Line, 2. Soviet League or Western Line, 3. People's Line (that is, the names of Qin Aihong and her three brothers), or that he chooses to be wise and self-protective or to risk his own life to dedicate himself to the cause. The total journey of my heart lasted less than ten chapters, and then I left on a confidential mission. I saw some reviews saying that there are emotional scenes,,, let me explain 🤦

The connection was not very good at the beginning, and there were some inexplicable scenes with female characters in the middle. But later on, I concentrated on scientific research, and I did a lot on the look and feel. Come on 👍

Okay okay. I feel comfortable looking at it. Not so depressing. It's not like I've always been busy doing scientific research, which is a mess. If it's the kind of movie that's fun to watch at first, then it feels repetitive the next time you watch it. It would be better if there was no heroine 🤭 🤭 How happy one is alone 🤭 🤭

You can develop small electrical appliances, induction cookers, etc., With high added value. You can develop neodymium magnets, brushless motors, etc., The added value in that era was hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of times in profit.
