Yang Qi, a rising scientific research star who has returned from overseas, explores the top of academics side by side with his mentor Pang, whom he once looked up to.
The initial tacit cooperation achieved great results, but as they got along day and night, they gradually entered a suffocating cage.
When a fierce argument at an academic conference tears apart the mask of warmth, she is forced to draw a clear line between high-pressure control and original intentions.
And the man who said "return to the teacher-student relationship" was pushing her into the abyss with isolation, mental suppression and hints of academic fraud.
The lights in the laboratory stay on all night,
Among the traces of repeated deletion and modification of computer documents,
Hidden are the completely different life trajectories of four female doctors——
Some people are soaring all the way up,
Some people have fallen from the altar but still cling to their ideals,
Some people lose their halo and choose to leave,
And she grabbed the thesis data that had been deliberately delayed by her tutor, and ignited the last spark on the eve of her graduation defense.
If you want to study for a Ph. D., You should take a look at Ph. D. Life;
If you are studying for a PhD, you can feel that you are not alone;
If you have finished your PhD journey, you can vent your inner pain.
Purpose: In the game between academic idealism and power struggle, a female perspective is used to analyze the spiritual dilemma in the siege of scientific research, and show how contemporary intellectual women use professional beliefs as anchors to break through the shackles when encountering oppression by authority, and protect the academic backbone in the darkest moments.
