Not Easy to Explain

Sunday, Great Hall.

More than five hundred subordinate officials from across the country gathered together.

At around nine in the morning, Comrade Shen Qi delivered an important speech.

Shen Qi emphasized that the people's leader guided our course, and scientific thought showed us the way.

In the face of an increasingly complex international situation, we must first do our own jobs well: be patriotic and dedicated, honest and friendly.

Party members must make "Two Studies, One Action" part of their regular study routine. We must align all our work with the Central Committee's directives and requirements, bring our thoughts, our work, and our responsibilities into the process, uphold the Scientific Outlook on Development, lay a solid foundation, hone our skills, and establish a fair and law-based management system.

Here, I'd like to give an example.

When studying nitrogen, the British physicist Rayleigh discovered that nitrogen separated from nitrogen compounds weighed 1.2508 grams per liter, while nitrogen separated from the air weighed 1.2572 grams per liter under the same conditions.

This tiny difference of 0.0064 grams caught Rayleigh's attention. Working with the chemist Ramsay, he removed the nitrogen and oxygen from the air and identified the remaining gas through spectral analysis. At last, in 1894, they discovered the inert gas argon.

Comrades and friends, scientific thought shows us the way, but attention to detail determines success or failure.

During our research into macrocyclic compounds, our team conducted countless experiments and endured countless failures.

We grew discouraged at times, but we never gave up.

The key to macrocyclic compounds lies in the stability of their macrocyclic structures. That stability cannot be measured on the scale of grams.

We work at the molecular level, treading as if on thin ice, always on edge.

To break a single key double bond, we have to
