从舞台到星空：演员的天体物理之路
Growing up, I dreamed of becoming an actress. I spent my weekends in drama classes, loving the way stories could transport audiences. One evening, a friend dragged me to a sci-fi film about interstellar travel. I was captivated not by the plot, but by the depiction of black holes and galaxies. A question sparked: what is really out there? That moment marked the beginning of my fascination with the cosmos.
Deciding to study astrophysics felt like stepping onto an alien planet. I had never taken a physics class. In university, I sat among classmates who had been building telescopes since childhood. My first exam score was a shock. I struggled with equations that seemed like a foreign language. But I realized I could approach problems like learning lines for a play—by breaking them into small, manageable parts and rehearsing until they felt natural. Slowly, the concepts began to make sense.
