With a deep friendship for an old friend, he took the initiative to write a letter to express his wishes. **After seeing the letter, he was silent and wrote a 25-word instruction ...... tremblingly.
What kind of friendship does the two have?Born in Jintan, Jiangsu, Hua Luogeng was a renowned mathematician and a staunch patriot. Although he has visited abroad many times, as long as the country needs it, he will always refuse the high salary abroad and return to China to support the motherland. During the Anti-Japanese War, Hua Luogeng went to Southwest Associated University to teach and educate people.
He was also a principled mathematician who resolutely rejected Chiang Kai-shek's ** Houlu because he saw through the hypocrisy of the old Chiang. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hua Luogeng was pleasantly surprised by the changes in the country, especially his reverence for the leaders of the first and other countries. Therefore, on March 16, 1950, he resolutely gave up his life in the United States, returned to his homeland with his family, and devoted himself to the construction of his motherland.
At the 1952 National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Gala, Hua Luogeng was late for something temporary and couldn't find a seat after entering. At this time, ** stopped him and said with a smile: "You are Hua Luogeng, sit next to me!."”。Hua Luogeng felt flattered, he had already heard that he was approachable, and when he saw it today, it was really the case.
** Then continued: "Comrade Hua Luogeng, you are also from a difficult background, I hope you will train more outstanding students for us!."”。knew Hua Luogeng's experience well, which made him nod again and again. Subsequently, the two watched the drama performance together, ** kept talking about the urgent need for a large number of scientific talents in New China, Hua Luogeng's heart was surging, and he was determined to show his talents.
Under the leadership of Hua Luogeng, the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was established, and he personally served as the director, becoming an important promoter of mathematical research in China. In addition, Hua Luogeng is committed to cultivating mathematical talents and contributing to the rise of internationally renowned mathematicians. He also actively promoted the popularization of mathematics among young people in China, and personally participated in the organization of national mathematics competitions in primary and secondary schools.
Hua Luogeng once stressed: "China must establish an atmosphere of respecting knowledge and attaching importance to talents, and must cultivate a large number of people with real talent and real learning. "That's his vision, and that's what he's always worked for. Although the state advocated that young intellectuals go to the mountains and go to the countryside at that time, Hua Luogeng still chose to stay in Beijing to work, which attracted many doubts.
However, he was not angry about this, because long-term research made him realize that it is difficult to make progress in research without practice. Therefore, he resolutely wrote a letter to ***, expressing his desire to work in the local area. In the autumn of 1964, Hua Luogeng was invited by Han Guangzhi, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Railway Headquarters, to personally lead students to the southwest to participate in the construction of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway.
There, Hua Luogeng's "Overall Planning Law" was widely publicized and promoted, and he was able to truly apply the knowledge he learned to serve the people, which made Hua Luogeng very encouraged. ** He was also deeply pleased with Hua Luogeng's achievements, and wrote to him personally: "Comrade Hua Luogeng: The letter and "Pinghua" (Hua Luogeng's work) were received in other places as early as possible. You are now working hard to serve the people, not for the individual, and you are very welcome.
I am very glad to hear that you have made great gains in inspecting and giving lectures in the southwest. I hereby reply. Hua Luogeng was inspired by his willingness to serve the people, even though the living conditions in the southwest were far less comfortable than in Beijing. In the next few years, Hua Luogeng has always been silently fighting on the front line, never applying for any preferential treatment from the state, even if he is unwell, he has always persevered.
Hua Luogeng was advised by the workers' comrades to return to Beijing to rest, but he insisted that as an intellectual, he should share weal and woe with the workers and peasants, make more contributions to the country and the country, and live up to the trust. In the days of getting along with the workers, Hua Luogeng gradually lost weight, and his face was darkened by the sun, but his fighting spirit was even more high, which is just like the vivid portrayal of many patriotic scientists in that era.
He brought experimental data and methods to the masses and put them to practical use, which was the scientific attitude that was widespread at that time. May Day in 1967 became an unforgettable day for Hua Luogeng, because he was invited to Tiananmen Square to watch the ceremony. ***, who has not been seen for several years, has always been concerned about his situation, which makes Hua Luogeng feel warm.
Holding his hand, he happily shouted: "Oh, we meet again, our mathematician Comrade Hua Luogeng." It's always been good, huh?”。Hua Luogeng was in tears, because in the past period, his mathematical theories have been questioned, and he has been treated unfairly. The word "we" made him feel excited.
Soon after participating in the activities, he returned to the local area to teach his specific mathematical methods to the masses, and in order to facilitate the application, he also "translated" his mathematical theories into easy-to-understand language, and personally explained and operated them. These mathematical methods have greatly improved work efficiency and have been warmly welcomed. Although there are endless doubts, as long as he sees that the lives of the masses are more convenient, he has a clear conscience.
However, chronic overwork caused him to fall ill. In August 1975, while guiding the tree felling work in the Daxing'an Mountains, Hua Luogeng suddenly fainted. The comrades immediately sent him to the Harbin Hospital to recuperate, and it was found that he had suffered from a myocardial infarction and had been in a coma for six weeks before he woke up.
**Hearing the news, he sent his own doctor to **, and kept telling him to recuperate, but Hua Luogeng still wanted to serve the people. He said: "* The things that were given to me did not do a good job and fell ill, I am sorry for the party, sorry for ***."
After experiencing the torment of illness, he still concentrated on his work, until his illness eased slightly, he wrote to *** to firmly express his determination to build the motherland and serve the people, and summed up many years of experience. In the letter, he wrote: "Please allow me to continue to study, what is the difference between dying in Beijing and dying in a ravine!If you can guide me out of my heart with your thoughts, I will live this life in vain and die without regrets.
**After learning about Hua Luogeng's recent situation, he felt sorry for him, fell silent for a long time, and directly gave a 25-word reply, and even his hands trembled slightly when he wrote a reply. The date of the letter was October 5, 1975, when *** was ill, but he was still concerned about Hua Luogeng. The letter reads: "The expression is very good, the serious illness is just recovering from a serious illness, you should rest for a while, and wait for ** before traveling."
After receiving the letter, Hua Luogeng was full of emotion, admired *** even more, and remembered the inspiration and teachings given to him by ***. After the news of his death came, Hua Luogeng was very sad, and he donated his handwritten letter to the country, hoping that future generations could witness the greatness of ***.
On June 12, 1985, Hua Luogeng died of an acute myocardial infarction in the academic lecture hall of the University of Tokyo. ”。Hats off to him!
