"Hey, stop cursing, stop cursing! Chen, we all know you're feeling bitter, just cry it out, man. It's not like the National Science and Technology Progress Award has anything to do with you anymore. I'm so envious of Tan, though. He's been quietly fishing for half a year and now he's got everything."
Unless something unexpected happens, he'll be going to the Capital to receive his award next January. And you, my dear friend, will have a fine January in 2025 as well, probably during the winter vacation, comfortably watching your former partners receiving awards on the red stage from your living room television."
