I have no money to do scientific research, so I am forced to be a star

As time went by, it was late at night.

This K188 train was still like an old ox, rushing along the track towards the capital.

In a corner of the carriage, a young mother was gently coaxing the crying baby in her arms.

She rocked gently, humming a tuneless lullaby, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

Beside her, the child’s father leaned on the seat with a tired face.

Although his eyes were bloodshot, he still tried to be energetic and ready to help at any time.

Not far away, several young people who looked like students were excitedly discussing the upcoming travel plan.

On the opposite seat, there came another young girl dressed fashionably.

She was wearing headphones, nodding gently to the rhythm of the music, and swiping the screen of her mobile phone in her hand.

She smiled and frowned from time to time, obviously immersed in the wonderful world of Douyin short videos.

Next to her was a middle-aged man dressed as a migrant worker.

His rough hands tightly held a worn backpack.

There was a trace of fatigue and confusion in his eyes, looking at the constantly changing scenery outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

In the middle of the aisle, a little boy ran around excitedly, holding a toy car in his hand and making a “woohoo” sound.

His mother followed closely behind, scolding him repeatedly, and worried that the child would hit other passengers.

At the connection between the carriages, several smokers gathered together to smoke and chat, exchanging the ups and downs of life with each other.

Compared with the quiet and comfortable high-speed rail, the train is still chattering.

Today’s high-speed rail is really fast, so fast that you can’t remember the appearance of your neighbor.

The green train is very slow, so slow that you can listen to a stranger tell his whole life story.

The train is running in the mountains at this time. It is pitch black outside the window, and only the outline of the mountains and forests can be vaguely seen.

But the lights are still on in the carriage, and the salesman’s shouting lingers in the ears:

“Beer, drinks, mineral water.”

“Peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge.”

“Make way in front, put your feet away.”

“…”

After a few hours.

At this time, many passengers in the carriage have lost the freshness they had when they just got on the train.

Everyone either leaned on the seat or fell asleep on the small table.

Li Zhaodi was also constantly adjusting her sitting posture, trying to make herself more comfortable.

In a daze, she seemed to have a dream that her AIDS was cured.

She dreamed that she was reborn and would no longer be discriminated against and hated by others, and could finally work and live normally.

Just as she was giggling in her sleep, the train broadcast sounded again.

“Dear passengers.”

“The train will arrive at Dazhou Station at 4:31 and stop for 32 minutes.”

“Passengers getting off the train, please take your luggage and wait at the door.”

“The train will open the door on the left side of the running direction. Please pay attention to the gap between the train and the platform when getting off the train…”

After being woken up, Li Zhaodi opened her eyes in a daze and found that the train had just arrived in Dazhou.

It would take about a day and a night to reach the final stop, Beijing.

She adjusted her sitting position and tried to fall asleep again.

But after her beautiful dream was interrupted, she couldn’t fall asleep at this moment.

Li Zhaodi simply sat up straight, and her thoughts began to drift again.

Thinking that she was about to face the unknown clinical treatment, she was both excited and nervous.

Everything in the future is so uncertain.

She didn’t know whether this trip to Beijing was a turning point in her destiny or another disappointment.

Even… she died in clinical experiments.

But no matter what the result is, she will never regret it!

Even if there is only 1% hope, she will fight this damn HIV virus to the end!

Time passed by minute by minute, and the train started again slowly and continued to move towards Beijing.

Looking at the night view that kept receding outside the window, Li Zhaodi secretly cheered herself up.

…

Time passed quickly, but also very slowly.

After a day and a night, seven and a half hours, plus a delay of two hours and forty minutes.

At 8:12 in the morning, the K188 train finally arrived at the terminal: Beijing West Station.

After sitting on the hard seat for 3

After 6 hours, Li Zhaodi felt sore all over, with back and buttocks aching and she couldn’t sleep well.

She changed countless sleeping positions in one night, but she couldn’t sleep well.

As the train slowly stopped at Beijing West Station, the conductor’s gentle broadcasting voice sounded again:

“Dear passengers, thank you for taking this train.”

“The train is about to arrive at the terminal, Beijing West Station.”

“Beijing is a historical ancient city of world civilization and a famous cultural city.”

“It is the political, economic, transportation and cultural center of the country.”

“…”

In the carriage, in the conductor’s travel introduction.

Li Zhaodi rubbed her swollen eyes and stretched her stiff body.

Then she took the suitcase from above her head and walked towards the door with the crowd.

Li Zhaodi, who came to Beijing for the first time in her life, had both the joy of reaching her destination and the confusion and fear of the unknown.

People came and went on the platform, and various sounds intertwined together, forming a busy picture.

After successfully checking her ticket and exiting Beijing West Station, Li Zhaodi did not take a taxi to save money.

Instead, she followed the pre-planned route and arrived at the bus stop to the Oriental Pharmaceutical Company.

At around 8 o’clock in Beijing, it was the morning rush hour, and the platform was already full of people.

After the bus arrived at the station, Li Zhaodi didn’t know how she was squeezed on, but she knew that her feet were off the ground but she didn’t fall.

Although the bus was very crowded, the weather in Beijing today was sunny.

Through the window, Li Zhaodi looked curiously at the high-rise buildings and ancient buildings on both sides of the street.

The unique prosperity and solemnity of Beijing also made her yearn for it deeply.

The bus, which was full of office workers, swayed for more than an hour.

After Li Zhaodi got off the bus at the bus stop near the destination, she followed the navigation instructions to the Oriental Pharmaceutical Company.

Even in the Beijing city with tall buildings, the headquarters building of Dongfang Pharmaceutical Company is particularly eye-catching.

The facade made of a large amount of tempered glass shines brightly under the sunlight.

On both sides of the entrance of the headquarters building, there is a couplet with profound meaning:

Upper couplet: I hope there is no suffering in the world

Lower couplet: I would rather let the medicine on the shelf be covered with dust

Horizontal banner: Peace in the world

This gold-plated European-style couplet, engraved on the dark wooden plaque, looks particularly solemn and elegant.

Looking at this couplet, Li Zhaodi couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

After calming down, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she finally mustered up the courage to walk in.
