Born into a poor peasant family, Jiang Guobing showed a thirst for knowledge and unremitting pursuit from an early age.
In that era of material scarcity, he did not have expensive reference books and a comfortable study environment, but he had a heart for knowledge and a flashlight to read at night.
In 1979, Jiang Guobing stepped into the gate of Tsinghua University as the top science student in Hubei Province.
Tsinghua University, China's top university, gathers elites from all over the country, however, Jiang Guobing did not slack off because of this, but worked harder.
During his time at Tsinghua University, the library became his second home, and those heavy professional books and obscure theories became fascinating treasures in his eyes.
He often plunged headlong into the pile of books, forgetting the passage of time, and his hard work paid off, Jiang Guobing won the opportunity to be sent to graduate school with excellent results, and finally stayed in school to teach.
In 1993, at the age of 31, Jiang Guobing was promoted to associate professor at Tsinghua University.
At that time, the 31-year-old associate professor was a legend at Tsinghua University, from a rural child to a well-respected university professor, Jiang Guobing used his efforts and talent to interpret a story of a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
However, just when everyone thought that Jiang Guobing had a bright future, fate gave him an unexpected turn.
In 1996, an opportunity to go to United States for further study, like a butterfly, gently flapped its wings and changed the trajectory of Jiang Guobing's life.
Career in the U.S. and Immigration
When Jiang Guobing set foot on the soil of United States and began his study abroad career, his heart was full of anticipation and excitement.
This country, which was once only seen in books and movies, is now spreading out in front of his eyes, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic, everything is so new and desirable.
During his time in United States, Jiang Guobing was like a fish in water, he devoted himself to study and research, exchanged ideas with top scholars from all over the world, his vision became broader, and his thinking became more active.
Devices that were once only imagined in the laboratory have become accessible, and theories that were once only read in papers have become verifiable.
However, just when Jiang Guobing was complacent about his academic achievements, reality gave him a slap in the face.
In 1999, when relations between China and the United States became strained by a series of events, Jiang Guobing, a nuclear physicist from China, suddenly found himself a "suspicious element."
Although his studies had nothing to do with the military, his situation became delicate, and it was at this point that his wife, Lu Cairong, came up with a bold idea to immigrate to Canada.
She believes that instead of being doubted and restricted in United States, it is better to start a new life in Canada, and Lu Cairong's yearning for Canada stems from some Canada friends she has made in United States.
They told her that Canada is an inclusive, friendly country where there are more opportunities and possibilities.
Jiang Guobing was skeptical at first, and he was reluctant to give up his academic career in the United States, the advanced experimental equipment and excellent colleagues.
But Lu Cairong's determination has been determined, and she has even begun to go through the immigration procedures, Jiang Guobing looked at his wife's expectant eyes, and he began to waver when he looked at his daughter's innocent smile.
In 2001, Lu Cairong and her daughter went to Canada first, while Jiang Guobing stayed in the United States to continue his doctorate.
He told himself that when everything was settled, he would go to Canada to reunite with his wife and daughter, but deep down, he was still uncertain about the future.
After receiving his doctorate, Jiang Guobing made a decision that surprised many, he gave up his position as an associate professor at Tsinghua University and decided to follow his wife and daughter to immigrate to Canada.
This decision seems to be for the sake of the family, but why not for the sake of my heart's desire? Maybe in that strange country, he can find new opportunities and new challenges.
When Jiang Guobing set foot on Canada soil full of hope, he did not expect that a series of difficulties and setbacks awaited him.
The education and experience he once boasted of seemed to have lost its luster on the North American continent.
After countless job searches and countless encounters, Jiang Guobing gradually realized that in this strange country, he needed to start over.
A difficult life in Canada
At first, Jiang Guobing still had illusions, believing that with his achievements in the field of physics, he would definitely find a suitable job.
Reality has given him a heavy slap in the face, and Canada's employers don't seem to buy it, and his Tsinghua background and associate professor title are more important for Canada's education and work experience.
Jiang Guobing's resume, those honors and achievements that once shined, seemed to be nothing more than insignificant pieces of paper in the eyes of Canada's personnel managers.
They politely told Chiang that his profession was not popular in Canada, that what they needed was more practical skills and experience, and that disappointment and frustration began to grow in Chiang's heart.
But he is not a person who gives up easily. He decided that if Canada did not recognize his physics background, then he would retake a more practical major.
So, this 40-year-old middle-aged man became a doctoral student again and began to study chemistry.
While studying for a doctorate, Jiang Guobing also had to work to make ends meet, he had instructed countless students, but now he has to go to the restaurant to serve dishes and go to the construction site to move bricks.
I even worked in a paint factory in Canada for half a year, and finally earned 5,000 yuan for most of the year.
Four years passed quickly, and Jiang Guobing received another doctorate, this time with a Canada diploma, which he thought would be able to find a decent job.
However, reality once again hit him with a hammer, and even with a PhD in Canada, he still couldn't find a suitable job.
Those employers who had expectations for him had doubts about his age and experience, and Jiang Guobing felt unprecedented despair after failing to find a job and shattering his expectations again and again.
The once high-spirited young man, the once promising scholar, is now in a foreign country, facing the weight of life and inner torment.
In July 2006, on an ordinary day, Jiang Guobing walked onto a bridge.
He looked at the rushing river below, at the strange city in the distance, countless images flashed through his mind, and in that moment, he made a shocking decision.
Jiang Guobing's story came to an abrupt end, but what he left to the world was a series of question marks, what made this former "proud son of heaven" embark on such a desperate road?
Analysis of the root causes of Jiang Guobing's tragedy
Jiang Guobing's tragedy is by no means accidental, in his short and tortuous life, we can see that the factors that lead to tragedy, like seeds buried in the soil, eventually grow into a tree of sadness with lush leaves.
When Jiang Guobing set foot on the soil of United States and began his study abroad career, his heart was undoubtedly shocked by this new world.
In such an environment full of temptations and opportunities, Jiang Guobing gradually lost himself. He began to doubt his choices and began to shake his original intention.
Maybe under that broader sky, he can find a bigger stage and more possibilities, but Jiang Guobing ignores one point, each country has its own unique "rules of the game".
When he decided to immigrate to Canada, he lacked an in-depth understanding of the country's job market, and he naively thought that with his education and experience in China, he could easily find a good job in Canada.
However, reality gave him a heavy slap in the face, and the locals in Canada did not buy his account, and in the face of such a setback, Jiang Guobing could have chosen to lower his posture and start with a more basic job.
Even though he obtained a doctorate in Canada, Jiang Guobing's situation did not fundamentally improve, and he began to feel hopeless after repeated job search failures and disillusioned expectations.
But he didn't have the courage to face such a cruel reality, and he never could accept the fact that he was no longer the "pride of the sky".
Sadly, Jiang Guobing seems to have forgotten his responsibilities, he has a wife who loves him, and a daughter who is still in infancy.
They were supposed to be the reason for his strength and the motivation for him to continue his life. But in the abyss of despair, Jiang Guobing chose the most extreme way.
He committed suicide, leaving his wife and daughter alone to face the cruel life in a foreign country, and the story of Jiang Guobing, like a mirror, reflects the joys and sorrows of life.
In his experience, we have seen the courage to pursue our dreams, the cruelty of reality, personal choices, and the imprint of the times.
And this mirror has also given us profound inspiration and reflection, Jiang Guobing's experience tells us that no matter where we go, we must not forget our original intention.
At that time, it was the cultivation of the motherland that made him an excellent scholar, and it was the funding of his alma mater that gave him the opportunity to study in United States.
This kindness should be remembered in our hearts, even if we are in a foreign country, we must have a grateful heart and remember where our roots are.
At the same time, we must also see from the tragedy of Jiang Guobing how important psychological endurance is on the road of life.
Difficulties and setbacks in life are inevitable, the key is how to face them, if your heart is strong enough, you can turn crises into opportunities, and challenges into opportunities.
More importantly, we must cherish life and be responsible for our families, life is only once, we can't give up easily because of temporary difficulties, we must think of those who love us, and think of the responsibilities we shoulder.
Jiang's story also serves as an important lesson to the world: immigration is a decision that requires careful consideration.
It means leaving a familiar environment, it means starting a whole new life, and it is important to think twice before making this decision.
Although Jiang Guobing's life ended in tragedy, his experience and lessons are worthy of deep thought by each of us.
