For thousands of years, beauty has always been a woman's highest honor and biggest capital. As long as you are lucky enough to get this, don't ask the rest. Madame Curie has beautiful capital, but she is useless, and it is from this point that she conquered herself. In order to do scientific research, she is willing to let acid and alkali gnaw at her soft hands and let the choking smoke wrinkle her beautiful forehead.
In order to extract pure radium, the Curies got a ton of industrial waste residue which may contain radium. They set up a pot in the yard, melted it one by one, and then sent it to the laboratory for dissolution and precipitation analysis. The so-called laboratory is an abandoned shed, and the body is used for autopsy. Mary stirred the slag in the pot in the smoky fire all day, leaving acid and alkali burns on her skirt and hands. However, her efforts were not in vain. Finally, she discovered the natural radioactive element-radium.
She could have applied for a patent immediately after discovering radium, and thus gained a large fortune. However, instead of doing so, she did not hesitate to publicize the purification method of radium. Later, Madame Curie was unable to engage in scientific research because she had no funds to buy 1 gram radium. Finally, a well-known American female journalist launched a fund-raising campaign in the United States, raising the required $654.38 million+.
Madame Curie was the first woman to speak on the podium of the French Academy of Sciences.
I admire Madame Curie's personality. Madame Curie regarded fame and fortune as dirt. She won 10 awards, 16 medals and 107 honorary titles, especially two Nobel Prizes. She could have enjoyed herself in any prize or honor, but she gave the prizes for scientific research and war to France and gave those medals to her 6-year-old daughter as toys.
Madame Curie's noble character, like her outstanding scientific achievements, shines admirably in the history of human civilization. She is strong, pure-willed, and strict with herself, which makes me have to respect!
