Come to kangkang everyone’s feelings ~
Understand the gap between theory and practice, and understand the true meaning of practice. Academic is an environment with limited input of unlimited resources, but the actual scene is an environment with unlimited input of limited resources. Realizing the effects of the theory under many constraints is a challenge as well as a reward.
