The taste of apples (borrowing from Huang Chunming's novel title)

     In the 1950s, when supplies were scarce and generally poor in Taiwan, the family was satisfied if they could fill their stomachs. Don’t even think about trying to have fruit after a meal. When I was outing in the class in elementary school, I saw a classmate bring an apple as an after-dinner. The whole class was very envious of the fruit, until one day I had the opportunity to try the five-claw apple, my God! The taste that I have never had before is both fragrant and sweet, and it tastes rusty. At the time, I thought it was really delicious on the world. When I grow up, Taiwan’s economy Taking off, the materials are abundant, apples are no longer a luxury food, and I gradually understand that there are many different types of apples, and then I realize that rustling apples are not delicious.

     In the 1980s, when I was studying in the United States, I saw for the first time a country with a vast land and resources, a well-developed science and technology, a university full of talents, excellent laboratory equipment, and everything. Personal computers were not common in those days. In order to write papers, I had to use the multi-person sharing laboratory. Typing on an IBM computer requires memorization of several special codes. It is very difficult to use. When the Macintosh Apple computer appeared and offered special prices for college students, I pooled my life savings and purchased the first Macintosh SE. With the first apple in life, writing and drawing in English is like a tiger with wings. The taste of Apple Computer is exciting. When I returned to Taiwan in 1990, I became a major player and brought it back to Taiwan.

     In the late 2000s, Steve Jobs released the first generation of iPhone, which combines mobile phones, personal computers and various apps. The social life style, the new iPhone is updated every two years, and the annual stock price has changed from 2007. The 94.6 US dollars of Apple has soared to 223.84 US dollars this year, and the total value of Apple has reached one trillion US dollars. It is rich in hundreds of countries!

     Even if I live in a society full of apples, I still haven't forgotten the taste of the first bite of apple I've eaten in my life. Looking back on my research career, there is no lack of apple taste, such as the first personal research project of the National Science Council, the first time as the convener of the theme research project of the National Science Council, and the first time I got the nano The national science and technology plan is sweet and unforgettable.

      In 2018, the International Wound Repair and Regeneration Center was favored by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology, which once again reminded me of the taste of Apple. More than two years passed away in a blink of an eye. We have not forgotten our original intentions and focused on responsible and sustainable development. So in 2020, we decided to take the lead in universities across the country and publish the first "Sustainable Development Report" written by a university. Book". On the one hand, it echoes the importance of the United Nations SDGs by Chenggong University, and at the same time, I hope that I will look at the present with the eyes of the future, and the sustainable survival of future generations will guide today's development strategies.

     Others have given too much, and we can give too little, so we are willing to learn from nature, learn from nature, be a car with peace of mind, and be innovative and sustainable with gratitude.
