When I was participating in the Field Adventure and Internet Challenge held in Guizhou in January, I heard that there was a postdoctoral fellow in the second team of Huaxia Netizens who signed up through the Internet. Engaging in this tougher yet stylish outdoor activity? He said: Among people at his level, people basically don't have such leisure, but he is an exception.Such a special individual of high intellectual class aroused my interest. His name is Wang Xiaodong, born in Shanghai in 1967. In 1986, he was admitted to the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Beijing University of Chemical Technology. After graduation, he worked in a remote factory in the suburbs of Beijing.Two years later, he returned to his alma mater to study for a master's degree. In 1996, he obtained a doctorate degree, and then entered the R&D center of Doosan Electronics Co., Ltd. in South Korea as a postdoctoral fellow. His research field also shifted from engineering materials to electronic materials.After two and a half years, he returned to China after studying and established an electronic materials laboratory in Beijing University of Chemical Technology.

Because the research on electronic materials is a relatively new field in China, Wang Xiaodong's research topic has also attracted considerable attention from relevant parties. He has received a grant of 255,000 yuan from the Beijing Science and Technology Nova Program, which is specially awarded to outstanding young scientists. A joint venture in Dongguan, Guangdong also invested 150,000 yuan in his project.With a research direction and a strong backing, he has a good brain and soon achieved results.A "green printed circuit board base material" developed by him has a wide range of applications and is also at an advanced level in the world.In the past, printed circuit boards in electronic products used a bromine-containing toxic compound as a flame retardant. The research laboratory led by Wang Xiaodong found a non-polluting substitute.

However, while achieving academic success, he also deeply felt the pressure of work as a scientific researcher, especially as a "subject leader".Research funding needs to be applied for by oneself, and teaching work cannot be delayed at all. He has to work until midnight almost every day; the salaries and funds of the graduate students he leads are paid by himself, so everyone calls him He is "the boss".He said, "Being this boss is not so easy, and the pressure is huge." The accumulated pressure over time makes him overwhelmed, and he always looks for opportunities to release it. Outdoor sports have become his best way to relieve pressure.

Although Wang Xiaodong, who loves nature, was a fan of self-help travel when he was in college, because this is the most suitable way for young students to travel.At that time, he almost missed every holiday.He alone crossed the Tiger Leaping Gorge, which had devoured the lives of many warriors, traveled through most of Sichuan, and backpacked through Xishuangbanna, Lijiang, Jiuzhaigou, Dazu Rock Carvings and other places of interest.But he really took field trips as a way of relieving stress, which he formed during his studies in South Korea.Like Japan, Korean adult men are under a lot of work pressure, and it seems that after leaving the "hyperbaric chamber" like working environment, they must find a place to vent.So, some people go to taverns, some go on outings and climb mountains, because there are many mountains in Korea.

After returning to China, he brought back this method of decompression, and invested a considerable amount of money to purchase some equipment suitable for travel, such as special backpacks, sleeping bags, clothing and so on.However, what worries Wang Xiaodong is that his behavior is not understood by his colleagues, who think he is not doing his job properly; if he has time, he might as well do more experiments, so that he can get more money and improve his scientific research and living conditions.But one thing Wang Xiaodong can be sure of is that staying up late all year round and excessively depleting his physique have put these young scientists in a "sub-healthy" state. "If my peers run all over the mountains like me, for example They walked 10 hours a day and more than 100 kilometers in three days in this 'Field Adventure and Internet Challenge', and their bodies must not be able to bear it. Psychological stress and excessive anxiety are the worst enemies of physical health."

Wang Xiaodong said that there was a period in which his own beliefs would be shaken: Am I an outlier in the academic world, or do I have a psychological problem?So he searched for fellow travelers on the Internet, and it turned out that there are many "outdoor people", and those people are more obsessed with outdoor sports than he is.He felt calm: this is an active and healthy way of life, and it is also a fashion advocated by urbanites. Among all Wang Xiaodong's outdoor activities, the one he likes to talk about the most is his 34-day self-guided tour to Tibet during last summer vacation.Some people say that Tibet is the last pure land of mankind. As a person who advocates nature, he is full of longing for this place.Therefore, for this trip, he prepared for a year from body to matter.During that time, he insisted on taking cold water baths to enhance his body's resistance and prevent colds on the plateau; he insisted on various aerobic training to strengthen the endurance needed for field trips; through books and the Internet, he learned and even studied Tibet's religion and history , culture, nature and tourism routes.

Although the trip to Tibet cost quite a lot, and the cost of a trip to Europe was completely enough, he felt it was worth it. It fulfilled his long-buried wish, enriched his life experience and knowledge, and brought back Several large photo albums and tens of thousands of words of experience.Starting from this issue, our "China Sports News" (Green Life Guide) will serialize stories that contain Wang Xiaodong's experience and practical experience. Wang Xiaodong believes that the main motivation for people to work hard is to live a better life for themselves and others.So what is the high quality of life? Some people may think that the greatest enjoyment can be obtained at the wine table, but he likes to integrate himself into the green nature.He has the habit of exercising and often goes swimming and playing badminton, but he hates the stale air in the gymnasium. He hopes that people, especially his colleagues, can go for a walk in the mountains during their holidays.This is what he considers a healthy life.
