CGTN From street child to Nobel laureate: Life is a grand experiment

He began as a homeless child, fighting for survival on the war-torn streets of World War II. Decades later, armed with a “golden key,” he unlocked the mysteries of gene targeting and went on to win the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Where the scientific establishment saw the “impossible,” he saw necessity. From hunger, he forged patience; from failure, he learned to turn every setback into a step forward.

At 88, Mario Capecchi still runs every day, quite literally keeping pace with time. Having travelled to China to inspire a new generation, he delivers a simple message: never lose your curiosity, and never stop asking why. This is more than a story of inspiration, it is a profound exploration of human resilience and the enduring spirit of scientific spirit.
