    If you could travel back to the 1950s, would you join your predecessors in contributing to the scientific research of your motherland? I think that would be our honor. Our protagonist, with such patriotism, traveled to the Soviet Union to study and, to the best of her ability, provided her country with new scientific ideas and achievements. Although the main storyline focuses on the protagonist's growth on the path of scientific research, her family and friendship relationships are unusually rich and three-dimensional, giving them a sense of realism (?). Moreover, it's known that the romance in this book won't take up a large portion, so I highly recommend it.
