What twists and turns did Fischer go through before he entered the chemistry department of Bonn University?

1869, Fisher graduated from high school with the first place. He did not forget his father's exhortation in the past that "if you want to dedicate your life to science, you must choose chemistry" and resolutely entered the chemistry department of the university. When he told his father his thoughts, his father hesitated. Who will inherit such a big family property and enterprise? Just Fisher. So dad changed his mind and mobilized Fisher to go to sea: "You are not yet 65,438+07 years old, so it is meaningless to go to college at such a young age. Will you spend a year or so learning how to do business? " Fisher followed his father's advice, went to his brother-in-law's house and worked as an intern in a timber company.

At this time, Fisher only had chemistry in his mind. After coming to the lumber yard, he soon set up a simple chemistry laboratory by himself. He does experiments in the laboratory all day and doesn't care about any business transactions at all. It is a joke to say that he is in business. The accounts make him remember that he is in a mess, and often once he enters his small laboratory, he will not come out all day. One minute it was an explosion, the next minute it was a suffocating smell, but he did it with relish. Brother-in-law couldn't help him and decided to hand him over. His brother-in-law had to truthfully report Fisher's internship to his father-in-law: "Fisher, a boy, will never make a career in business. You'd better let him read with peace of mind! " Faced with the present situation, dad had no choice but to make concessions: "since you don't want to do business, go to school!" " "Fisher finally got his wish and entered the chemistry department of Bonn University.
