On a Monday afternoon in May, Lu Qi followed a young genius whom he had only known for a morning to the residence of an old man. The three of them and one dog sat around quietly, enjoying the rare silence.

After a while, the old man took the initiative and said, "Are you flower growers?"

After glancing at Lu Qi who hadn't come back to his senses, Ning Zimo nodded, "Yes, sir."

The old man also nodded and looked into the distance, "Both you flower growers and us Jews experienced too many wars in the middle of the last world. It's hard for you to imagine the chaos of that era~~ Fortunately, it's all over."

Ning Zimo felt like he was following the old man's gaze, looking back at the dots in the past, looking down at the ripples on the bottom of the cup, and murmured, "Yes, although I have not experienced those chaos, but our history

Those things are recorded in it, and we young people all know it."

The old man lay on the chair and nodded, "You must remember the past but still move forward bravely, because life still has to move forward. Only in this way can people move forward and mankind can move forward."

The mysterious feeling that the old man gave Ning Zimo suddenly aroused Lu Qi's curiosity, "Old sir, you seem to have gone through a long time and have a lot of experience. You always give me a very mysterious feeling."

The old man pointed at Ning Zimo with his chin, and said with a chuckle, "Don't talk about him, I'm even much older than you. I'm from Nuremberg, Germany. I was born there in October 1909. There I

I once made hops, worked as a professional singer, and I also studied at the Nuremberg Conservatoire. All my childhood and most of my young memories are in that city."

As he spoke, the old man shook his head and smiled apologetically, "My opening is full of lengthy history. I even forgot that you must have something important to come to me for."

Lu Qi was stunned and looked at Ning Zimo. He didn't understand, or even why Ning Zimo brought him here.

Ning Zimo shook his head indifferently and said, "Old sir, I accidentally heard your legendary story from people around me. As a young man who is going through a crossroads in life, I want to visit you with my friends to see if we can

Can you get the answer from your past time?"

"It's not a legend, it's just that it's been around for a few years. What have you heard?" The old man smiled as he spoke.

Ning Zimo leaned forward, dragging his head with his hands, not minding showing his childishness, "I have heard about your medical achievements in heart disease, and also learned about your achievements in music. I am very curious.

Why can you do so many things so well?"

The old man's eyes were cast into the air, as if he was thinking about something, and it took him a while before he answered, "It's been a long time since a stranger came to visit me, an old man. Sitting here chatting with you, the topic you asked made me look back.

Looking around, it turns out that 92 years have passed. If you really want to ask for an answer, I will tell you that there is only one thing, curiosity."

The old man withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at the two of them, "When I was young, my family was in the hops business. At that time, I became very interested in that thing, so that after constant research, at a young age

The light hops I made are already famous in Nuremberg and even in Germany.

When I was older, because I was very interested in hop production, I was able to run the hop business with ease and still have free time.

During that time, I became interested in singing. So I devoted my free time to it, and as a result, I became a well-known singer. In order to further my education, I even went to the Music Academy of the Nuremberg Stadium to study.

At that time, my music teacher Richard Strauss didn't like me very much. So the setbacks during that period made me interested in Arrowsmith (a novel written by ir lewis) who was interested in me at the same time. (earlier major novels dealing with scientific culture) devoted more effort and were greatly inspired.

So I concentrated my efforts and obtained my first medical degree at the University of Munich, and the next year I obtained my second medical degree at the University of Bern.

In the middle of the century, the war that had a serious impact on the entire human race was so cruel that it affected my decision-making, and I decided to do something.

Finally one day I decided to devote all my energy to the medical career. At that time, the Rockefeller Institute in New York invited me to participate in the machine perfusion technology of transplanted organs, and I agreed without even thinking about it.

It was then that we were able to accurately measure the effects of drugs and selected drugs on the heart. So I gradually became interested in studying heart metabolism, and I have been working on the human heart ever since."

As he spoke, the old man drew a circle with his fingertips on his chest, "I have been studying heart disease. The chemical reactions of heart attacks, high-speed photography of coronary vessels, and measuring blood flow with nitric oxide are all in that area." Driven by my interest over time, I gradually discovered it.”

When the old man said this, his face was ruddy, his words were clear and his breath was long.

Lu Qi was shocked. How did he know that Ning Zimo randomly brought him to the residence of an old man, and this old man's life spanned almost an entire century.

Nuremberg, beer, music, Richard Strauss, cardiologist.

The past 92 years of this old man have been filled with various experiences and spanned various industries. He is almost a legendary figure.

But what Lu Qi didn't know was that Ning Zimo actually knew more than the old man said.

He knew that the old man and his wife had been married in 1938 and had two sons and a daughter.

But his wife passed away in 1990, and even one of his daughters passed away in 1999.

The old man didn't even mention these sorrows.

Lu Qi didn't know this, but just hearing those parts of the old man's words made him feel a little sore in his nose. Before coming here, he didn't know what Ning Zimo's purpose was for bringing him here, but now, he feels Just meeting this old man was worth the trip.

At this time, Ning Zimo, who had rarely spoken today, stood beside Lu Qi and said, "Sir, is curiosity really so important?"

The old man nodded affirmatively and said, "Curiosity is human nature. It is the driving force for your progress and the source of your creation. As a person who is about to live for 100 years, I can tell you clearly that there is no such thing as anything in this world. Something is more important than him."

When the 18:00 o'clock bell rang, Lu Qi had already obtained many answers from the old man's experience. He felt that although the future was still unclear, his heart was so determined for the first time.

Lu Qi felt that his heart was extremely clear at this time, and he stood up suddenly. Seeing Lu Qi stand up, Richard also climbed up from the ground and walked to Lu Qi's side.

Lu Qi didn't like pets very much, but when it came to a dog like Richard, he couldn't help but squat down. Just as his hands were about to hold his mouth, Richard's hot big tongue stretched out and touched his mouth.

I licked my hand all over.

The old man was lying on the recliner, smiling at the harmonious scene of a man and a dog getting so close to each other for the first time. He couldn't help but say, "Richard likes you very much, which is rare."

"I feel like he likes us very much." At this time, Ning Zimo also stood up, walked over and touched Richard's head, "Sir, thank you for your hospitality. We should leave now for disturbing the afternoon."

Ning Zimo stood up and became taller again. Richard raised his head and saw that Ning Zimo was not used to the sudden heightening. He was still pulling his pants around his legs.

The old man stood up from the rocking chair and pursed his lips towards Lu Qi, "He seems to have found his answer, what about you? Have you found a suitable answer?".

Lu Qi saw Ning Zimo looking at him with a bright smile: "Sir, although I am not as young as him, I have always been determined about my future path, but I did find some new answers from you.

Your story has brought us many things. I think the answer has always been in our hearts. We just need to keep going. There is no need to look around."

The old man smiled with satisfaction, "Go ahead, the answer to life can only be explored by yourself."

Ning Zimo waved his arms, and Lu Qi also waved to the old man.

Suddenly, Lu Qi heard Ning Zimo's voice coming from beside him, "Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success."

It's just that the English translation was a bit jerky, and it took the old man a while to understand before he laughed, "That's right, that's right, only by not forgetting your original intention can you always succeed."

Ning Zimo bowed to the old man, stood up, waved and left, while Lu Qi hurriedly followed behind.

After taking two steps, Ning Zimo suddenly stopped again, causing Lu Qi to almost bump into his back.

Ning Zimo turned around and walked up to the old man, "Sir, can I name one of my products after your last name?"

The long and narrow corridor was illuminated by lights from both ends. Under the light, Lu Qi could only see an old man and a young man standing there. The old man's voice came over, "You are such an interesting young man. It's just my last name.

You can use it however you like.

Come back in a few years and tell me what meaningful things you have done with my last name. Since you have done things with my name, you can call me by my name from now on."

Ning Zimo nodded happily and walked towards Lu Qi again. He waved and Lu Qi followed him. When he opened the door, Ning Zimo turned around and waved to the old man, "Okay.

Mr. Richard"

Perhaps in the old man's memory, this moment of combination of light and shadow is his most profound memory of this young man.

Perhaps in Lu Qi's memory, the figure shown in the light and shadow in the corridor is his most profound memory of today.

After walking out for a long time, Lu Qi still couldn't help but asked curiously, "Zimo, how can such a legendary figure like the old gentleman live in a place like this?"

Ning Zimo walked forward without even turning his head, "Legends don't necessarily have to be aloof."

Lu Qi curled his lips, thinking about it, it was right.

An old man has experienced too many things in his 92-year life journey, and it is his curiosity that drives him forward. This living example has given him new hope. No matter what the future holds, at least he will

Keep the curiosity of an old man.

The future is still long and there are still many things to explore.

Isn't that what life is like?

But it was this kind of curiosity that made Lu Qi very curious as to why Ning Zimo suddenly wanted to use the old man's surname to make products. This question has been scratching Lu Qi's heart.

When Lu Qi arrived, he couldn't hold back and asked Ning Zimo, "Zimo, what is the full name of Mr. Richard?"

Ning Zimo, who was walking, suddenly stopped and turned his head with a serious face and a frown on his brows.
