On October 1, 1949, at the founding ceremony, the chairman solemnly proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China. This historical moment sparked the passion of Qian Xuesen, a scientific giant far away. As the father of China's aerospace, missile, and automation control, he teaches at the California Institute of Technology in the United States. When he learned the news of the liberation of the motherland, his heart was surging and he immediately decided to return to China.
In the declaration of Beijing Xinhua Radio Station to the world, Qian Xuesen's heart was surging. He excitedly told his wife Jiang Ying: "The motherland has been liberated, we should go back, China is our eternal home!"However, he did not expect that on the way back to China, he would face the cruelty of the United States.
Qian Xuesen, who suffered from the unfair treatment of the United States, did not give in. His research certificate was revoked, his home was searched, and he was imprisoned, and he lost 30 pounds in a month. Despite this, he chose to persevere in his struggle, carrying more than 800 kilograms of books and notes to prove his innocence to customs. However, the United States continued to accuse the 88-year-old of Qian Xuesen as a spy until 1999.
Fortunately, China's concern and attention to Qian Xuesen has never diminished. Under the intervention of ***, China** publicly accused the United States of illegally imprisoning Qian Xuesen and did everything it could to rescue him. At the Geneva Conference, New China urged the United States to stop its efforts against Qian Xuesen and succeeded in releasing the captured American pilot.
On August 4, 1955, Qian Xuesen finally received a notice to return to China. Kimble, vice admiral of the US Navy, said with emotion: "No matter how Qian Xuesen goes, he is worth 5 divisions. "It is precisely because of Qian Xuesen's return to China that the launch of China's missiles and atomic bombs has entered 20 years.
After returning to China, Qian Xuesen did not stop. He became the first director of the Fifth Research Institute and took an active part in national defense construction. Under the leadership of the people, he resolutely promoted the development of the "two bombs and one satellite" and made great contributions to China's scientific and technological undertakings.
In 1961, Qian Xuesen's Lectures on Physical Mechanics was officially published, marking his profound attainments in the academic field. He put forward the concept of using large aircraft as the first-stage carrier vehicle, which had a far-reaching impact on China's space industry. In 1964 and 1967, China successfully conducted atomic and hydrogen bomb tests, and in 1970, China launched its first artificial earth satellite, Dongfanghong.
Qian Xuesen's contributions have been widely recognized by the international community. Kleber, a reporter for United Press International, exclaimed: "It was because of Qian Xuesen that China successfully launched its first artificial satellite in 1970. "His research has made China a country with missile technology with a global range.
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Steve spoke highly of Qian Xuesen: "Qian Xuesen's grades in the United States are very good, but not enough to be convincing. His contribution to the People's Republic of China is truly remarkable. ”
On October 31, 2009, 98-year-old Qian Xuesen left his homeland forever. Before his death, he said: "According to the teachings of ***, I have done some things, and now I am old and cannot do more......"Qian Xuesen's life is a footnote to the struggle for the scientific cause of the motherland and a symbol of China's great scientists.
Qian Xuesen's life is a magnificent chapter in the history of China's scientific and technological development. Known as the "Father of China's Aerospace Flight", this scientific giant has not only made outstanding achievements in the field of technology, but also showed extraordinary tenacity and faith in the face of adversity.
First of all, Qian Xuesen's journey back to China was full of hardships, and the political ** and predicament he suffered in the United States were almost desperate. The cruelty to him by the United States**, including the revocation of his research certificate, the search of his family, imprisonment, etc., is unimaginably hard. However, Qian Xuesen did not choose to give in, but chose to fight. Not only did he never waver physically and mentally, but he also remained loyal to his homeland, and this steadfastness and courage were important reasons why he became a national hero.
Secondly, New China's concern for Qian Xuesen and its efforts to rescue him show a country's cherishing and respect for scientists. From publicly blaming the United States to releasing prisoners in exchange for Qian Xuesen's return to China, China has been working hard to safeguard national dignity and the rights and interests of scientists. This kind of care for scientists not only allowed Qian Xuesen to return to the motherland smoothly, but also established China's great importance to the cause of science and technology in the world.
After Qian Xuesen returned to China, he did not stop because of the hardships of the past. On the contrary, he actively devoted himself to national defense construction and laid a solid foundation for the country's "two bombs and one satellite" plan. His scientific research achievements have not only promoted China's missile, atomic bomb and artificial satellite technology, but also made indelible contributions to China's space industry.
On the international stage, Qian Xuesen's achievements have also been highly recognized. His academic writings and ideas have not only had a profound impact in China, but have also attracted wide attention internationally. Kleber, a reporter from United Press International, said bluntly that Qian Xuesen's contribution made a breakthrough in China's space field, and his return to China made a key step on the road to launching its first artificial satellite.
Qian Xuesen's death is a great loss to China's scientific and technological community, but his legacy will forever inspire future generations. His firm belief in the face of difficulties and his selfless dedication to the cause of science and technology in the motherland are examples worthy of our deep consideration and Xi. In today's society, we need more heroes like Qian Xuesen, who not only show outstanding talent in the field of science and technology, but also show a firm character in difficult situations, and make unremitting efforts for the future of the country and the people.
