This is a personal essay starting from the early study on fertilization signals in echinoderm and mammalian oocytes. It presents actual examples showing that a unexpected discovery leads to unimaginable development of the research in diverse directions in later years and yields a common concept after long years' effort and accumulation. Those outcomes are the happiest gift for researchers. We also learn many precepts in our own research life.
这是一篇个人随笔，始于对棘皮动物和哺乳动物卵母细胞受精信号的早期研究。文中给出了实际例子，表明一个意外的发现如何在随后的岁月里引领研究朝着难以想象的多样方向发展，并经过多年的努力和积累产生一个共同的概念。这些成果是给予研究人员的最美好的礼物。我们在自己的研究生涯中也学到了许多经验教训。
