Does Chinese matter in Science?

As a scientist whose first language is not english but chinese, I often like to ask myself with questions such that as being a scientist, does chinese language or my native language matter to me? I think there are two different answers to this kind of question, either matters or does not matter at all. The situation indeed would be much more complex even for a singular person like yourself or myself, and the answers to this question could also be contradictory sometimes. Because the answers can depend greatly on how you see yourself in science. If you see you are purely a scientist, and work with science entirely in your own interests. The answer could be that chinese language isn't important at all, or chinese language does not matter. This sounds negative, but definitely has nothing to do with wether you are a patriot or not.... and wether you speak Chinese or not. Chinese language as being a tool in science is not important at all.

  Many people have to admit. However, if you see yourself as to be the one wanting to make communications with chinese people, then the chinese language itself as being a tool will turn to be extremely important.

   I have a very embarrassing feeling on these things, after I have formally published more than 4 academic books in two china's leading academic presses, including Science Press and Chemical Industry Press of China , I suddenly found that these books are not appreciated at all. This makes me feel a little regretful by spending too much time on writing them up..
In another words, as being a scientist, I have to make communications with my colleagues worldwide, so I have to return back to them, to make myself to be understood, and to be known to them as well. But I missed so many chances by doing something futility like this...................
