Speaking:

　The mostimportant decision that I have made in my life is to choose Quantum Mechanicsas my research field. When I was a little kid, I used to look up to theuniverse and wonder whether there was a finite limit in that cosmic ocean. Andwhen I grew older, that curiosity urged me to choose one major in which I couldfind the basic principles of the whole universe. Another reason for my choiceis that it could guarantee me a decent and promising job. Think about it,researching something contributive to the society in a high-tech institute,that’s absolutely a cool thing!
