Chengdu business news, under summer nightHebei university of technologyOn campus, silence can clearly hear mosquitoes buzzing. There are occasional students who walk on campus, who look as if nothing had happened。
It's a university with no past nameHan chun rainA paper published in nature-biotech about ngago's enzymes that can be used to edit mammalian genes is well known. However, over the past year or so, the question of whether the korean spring rain experiment could be repeated never stopped. Until 3 august 2017, the han spring rain team issued a statement and withdrew the paper, choosing a third-party laboratory to conduct an experiment, supported by peer experts, to verify the validity of ngago-g dna genetic editing。
One moment, the noises rise again。
"i'm sure ngago can really do genetic editing, and i'll keep doing it in this direction." at 10. 30 p. M. On the night of 3 august, red star journalists finally met han chun-rain himself at the hebei university of technology campus, who was preparing to go to the laboratory for an experiment, and received an exclusive, face-to-face response from him after writing off。

He chose to go to the laboratory at night, as in many days of the past, before leaving the laboratory gate at 2 or 3 a. M。
"i'm still experimenting. Everything's covered."
Zero-one, first day of the withdrawal
It's late at night
On the afternoon of 3 august, red star journalists did not find him in the experimental building where the north korean spring rain had been located at the pharmaceutical molecular chemistry laboratory in hebei province, where two laboratories, originally located on the third floor, remained closed. In another office at hebei university of technology, the korean spring rains did not see him。
Later, red star journalists learned that the korean spring rain laboratory was still in school, except for a new building before the summer break. The conditions in the new lab are better than in the old lab. There's been a lot of students doing experiments in his lab。

At 10. 30 p. M. On the evening of 3 august, the korean rain, wearing a black t-shirt, rode a bicycle downstairs. In the past, he used to come to the lab at night. This custom remains the same even on the first day when the withdrawal statement was issued。
The controversial korean spring rain faced red star journalists with a bit of caution, but a little bit of eccentricity. This technologist, who has been known by many people, has begun to be cautious after more than a year of wind. South korean spring rain did not respond to questions from all sides as to why the withdrawal statement was issued and how to respond to it。
On 3 august, his mobile phone was blown up and he was unable to answer. No reports or articles have been read since the withdrawal。
"i'm here, i'm still experimenting. Everything's covered." han spring rain told red star journalists like that. He feared that too much had been said, that the media along the way had followed him, that he had no time to experiment and no time to work。
After entering the laboratory building, where the burial head began to be tested, han spring rain left the laboratory at approximately 2-3 in the middle of the night。
02, will you go down this road
"ngago can do genetic editing, and i'll do it down."
"at the end of the day, it was an experiment." han spring rain told red star journalists that he was just trying to do his job right now, and that time to go to the lab would explain everything。
The voluntary withdrawal of the han spring rain has also raised further questions among some experts as to whether ngaago will be able to perform genetic editing functions, but the han spring rain did not intend to abandon its original course。
"how long do you think you're going to give yourself time to continue this genetic editing research? Some people think it's a dead end. Will you go another way? Or will you continue along this road?" in response to a question from red star journalists, han chun-rain said it was definitely going down this road, which is not going to change, and it is going down with genetic editing。
"i do think that ngago can really do genetic editing, that's the direction i set, and i'll do it." when it comes to that, han spring rain does not hesitate. He stated that his attitude was in the statement issued, “they will study further the reasons why they cannot be repeated”。
“long live understanding”, the word han spring rain once again told red star journalists. He did not give a timetable as to how long this experiment, which is still on the road, would take, but only a positive smile to show his current attitude of simply experimenting。
03 student voice
"our students don't think the papers are fake."
Zhang, a student at the faculty of biosciences and engineering of hebei university of technology, told red star journalists that previously the school had been approved to plan a genetic editing research centre in the new campus and to build a new laboratory building, but there were no signs of a start to the new campus。
“we've seen the news feel a bit lost, and there's a little concern that it might affect graduates.” according to zhang, there should be no other disagreement with the news of cooperation with novisson。
"but our students think it's not fake." mr. Zhang said that, after all, the words of nature-biotech were only imperfect。
It's impossible to fake it in top international magazines。
Zhang went to the korean spring rains class, and in his view, han spring rains is a person who has nothing to say in class. Before that, he had heard one thing from his teacher, and he had a good professional idea. He had advised a technology: a meth that fermented penicillin because the remaining penicillin was unworkable and could not be handled. And han spring rain offers the idea of thinning the walls of the cells, and the result is a solution。
And many experts didn't think of that。
