Gao Shiqi, known as China Hawking, was unfortunately infected with the virus while studying in the United States and was paralyzed for life. But he didn't feel depressed, but fought against his fate and devoted himself to the cause of popular science in China for 60 years.

Illness made him unable to hold the pen, so he dictated it in vague language and entrusted others to record it in writing; Later, illness deprived him of the ability to dictate. He picked up a pen that had been kept for 40 years, practiced word for word, and wrote dozens of excellent popular science works.
