One day, Qian Sanqiang went to look for He Zehui, but he didn't find it after looking for a long time in the workshop. Then he was in the men's restroom and saw a rickety, silver-haired old lady cleaning.
Qian Sanqiang snorted: "Men and women are inconvenient, please go out first." But what Qian Sanqiang never expected was that a familiar voice came from his ears: "Okay, okay, I, I'll go out." He was puzzled, He Zehui trembled and shouted to him: "Sanqiang, it's me!."The couple, who were going through hardship, suddenly cried silently and cried together.
He Zehui is the wife of the famous physicist Qian Sanqiang. She was born in a scholarly family and a scientific family. During the 300 years of the He family in the Qing Dynasty, many family members entered the government by participating in the imperial examination.
His father, He Cheng, studied in Japan in his early years, followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and was also a collector of cultural relics, calligraphy and painting. His mother, Wang Jishan, was a physics translator, his maternal grandfather Wang Songwei studied under Cai Yuanpei, and his maternal grandmother Xie Dada founded Suzhou Zhenhua alma mater. With such an aura and honor, He Zehui was shaded by both families as soon as she was born, and her parents had a profound influence on her growth.
In the cultivation of her outlook on life and worldview, her parents are reflected in their personal practice, being diligent and thrifty;2. Self-reliance and self-reliance;Third, not arrogant or impetuous, and fourth, contribute to the country.
And "science, freedom, equality, and independence" are the values output of He Zehui's parents to her. Among them, the words of the aristocratic spirit are: cultured, educated, responsible, and noble soul is the real aristocratic spirit. Expensive but not extravagant, inner growth and honor can accompany each other for a lifetime and bless children and grandchildren.
Because He Zehui's father experienced the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance in his early years and was deeply humiliated, he instilled in her the importance of learning Xi since she was a child: to strengthen herself and enrich the country, and if you want the country to be rich, you must go out of the country and learn from the skills of Yi to control it. In this way, under the influence of a good family culture concept and cultural atmosphere, he was willing to use his brain to love learning and Xi since he was a child, and his grades were always among the best, and he became a proper student bully.
In 1932, He Zehui, an 18-year-old Suzhou girl who spoke Wu Nong's soft language, was admitted to the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University by virtue of her good results in the first place among girls in Jiangsu Province. That year, the Department of Physics planned to admit 28 students, of whom only 10 were women. At that time, the admissions teacher and the head of the department advised her not to apply for physics, because it was difficult for girls to graduate from physics. But He Zehui refused to admit defeat, she had a clear goal in mind, that is, to be a female physicist.
So not only did she not change departments, but when she graduated, she was proud of the boys in her class with the highest score in the physics defense. At that time, even the famous Chinese scientist Qian Sanqiang, who was her husband in the future, did not test her, which shows how powerful her talent in mathematics, physics and chemistry is.
In 1947, at the age of 33, He Zehui discovered the quadruple fission of the right nucleus in France, and was known as China's Marie Curie by academics at the time. How remarkable it is that a weak woman in Jiangnan can achieve such an impressive achievement in the world.
In 1936, after graduating from university, He Zehui went to the Technical University of Berlin in Germany to study for a doctorateAnd her future husband and classmate Qian Sanqiang went to France to study. The two have since broken off contact. In 1939, Wang Dayan, a classmate studying in the UK, passed through Paris and wanted to make an appointment with Qian Sanqiang to visit He Zehui in Germany. However, Qian Sanqiang was worried that his return to school would be delayed due to the tense war in Europe, so his trip to visit He Zehui did not materialize.
When He Zehui learned of this, he took the initiative to write a letter to contact Qian Sanqiang. The subsequent spread of war in Europe interrupted Germany's communication with the outside world, and He Zehui and Qian Sanqiang could no longer communicate and lost contact again. In 1943, when communications between France and Germany were restored, He Zehui wrote a letter asking Qian Sanqiang to report her safety to her parents at home on her behalf.
It was from the beginning of this letter that the prelude to the love between He Zehui and Qian Sanqiang began. Because when they were classmates at Tsinghua University, they left a good impression on each other, so the flower of love began to sprout in a foreign country.
The two of them flirted with each other, and their correspondence became more and more frequent. Although there can be no romance of flowers before the moon and hand in hand, the two hearts are not drifting apart because of physical distance, but getting closer and closer. In the winter of 1945, two years after the two had been dating by letter, 32-year-old Qian Sanqiang wrote a letter to propose to 31-year-old He Zehui.
How fascinating is love that goes both ways. What's more, Qian Sanqiang is on par with him in terms of appearance, family and career, and he can get a confession from the boy he likes when he is older, He Zehui is sweet in his heart. In 1946, after He Zehui and Qian Sanqiang married in Paris, He Zehui and her husband became colleagues in the Curie Laboratory of the University of Paris. After that, they went out together, and the couple was deeply in love.
Since the focus of both of them is on scientific research projects, there are few trivial things such as quarrels in daily life. Qian Sanqiang respects He Zehui very much, and asks He Zehui's opinion for many things first. And He Zehui is also considerate to her husband and never says anything serious. The couple played a harmonious chord and were happy and harmonious.
In 1947, He Zehui and Qian Sanqiang joined forces to jointly publish the physics major "Uranium 3**4** Phenomenon Energy and Chance". This ** caused a sensation in the international scientific community at that time.
At the same time, the 34-year-old Qian Sanqiang was also promoted to the tutor of the French National Research Center for Science and Technology, and his career began to flourish. Science has no borders, but scientists have a homeland. They did not forget their original intention of studying abroad at that time, and contributed the new knowledge they learned from the West to the motherland.
The couple not only raised their eyebrows together and achieved each other, but also worked together to make significant contributions to the motherland. Looking at the world, He Zehui's life is not an exaggeration to describe it as "open". Compared with Deng Wendi, who was talked about by everyone after dinner, it was simply incomparable.
The means for ordinary people to change their fate and cross classes is to take the college entrance examination and choose a career. But for Wendi Deng, another method was used: marriage. For most people, marriage is about spending a lifetime with the person they love. But for Wendi Deng, every marriage is a stepping stone to change the trajectory of fate and climb upward.
Just like Qian Lulu, a female doctor of Shanghai Jiaotong University and the "Su Daji" of the scientific research community, she spent 12 years and four marriages to become a tenured professor in the Department of Bioengineering of California Polytechnic University in the United States.
Although Wendi Deng has become a wealthy person in Europe and the United States through marriage, he has also jumped into the celebrity circle. But that's just her own scenery, her own fame and fortune, and she has nothing to do with the motherland.
On the contrary, He Zehui is also well-known at home and abroad, and also has status and aura. But when it comes to contributions to the motherland, Wendi Deng can't even count a finger from He Zehui. Therefore, Wendi Deng's key to success is only applicable to the realization of personal class leapfrogging, and only applicable to changing the fate of individuals.
And the meaning of a person's life, from a sociological point of view, is to pursue one's own happiness and worth, and at the same time to contribute to others and society, and to feel and experience the beauty of life. Jefferson once said, "He who lights a candle to illuminate others will not bring darkness to himself." ”
But life is in the play, with ups and downs. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Just when He Zehui was showing his skills and contributing wholeheartedly to the motherland, he ushered in a special era.
In that chaotic era, she was censored and criticized as a "special academic authority."
In 1969, He Zehui and Qian Sanqiang were assigned to the "57" cadre school in Heyang, Shaanxi Province, to receive re-education for poor middle peasants. Although they are both in the same school, the two are separated, and neither knows what the other is doing. At this time, although He Zehui was in a dark moment in his life, he was still calm. She often said in a sentence: "No matter if the country is worthy of you or sorry for you, as long as it is beneficial to the country, I will do it." ”
Science is a way of life, and no matter how it is destroyed, it has not left He Zehui defeated. As long as she has the opportunity, she will devote herself to the Xi of physics knowledge.
When a person does something miserable with a normal mind, there is no feeling of pain. Because life is a process of experience, when your body and mind are not so bad, the emotional backlash brought by those pains will not leave a hidden harm on us. In this way, the hard life lasted for 4 years. In 1974, He Zehui returned to his original scientific research position. The Institute of High Energy Physics was established, and He Zehui served as the deputy director, in charge of the cosmic ray and library and information departments.
After that, He Zehui rode the dust, with her enthusiasm and what she learned, and made one satisfactory answer after another. He has been awarded the "Two Bombs and One Star Meritorious Service Medal", "Ho Liang Ho Li ** Science and Technology Achievement Award", and was also awarded the "World Cultural Celebrity Achievement Award" and other supreme honorary titles.
Nobel Laureate Tsung-Dao Lee once praised her as one of the pioneers of China's atomic energy physics and one of the founders of the Institute of Modern Physics in China. In 1999, He Zehui was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Struggler". In 2009, she was awarded the "World Outstanding Women Scientist Achievement Award".
In 2011, He Zehui passed away at the age of 97. Conclusion
Mr. He Zehui's legendary life is embarrassing. She was born into a scholarly family and a scientific family. could have relied on the strong family to lie flat, but she did not be arrogant and gnawed at the old, but was self-reliant and self-reliant, and created her own world.
She became the first female doctor in the field of physics in Chinese history, and the Chinese Marie Curie in the eyes of foreigners. Her open life and contributions to the motherland are enough for future generations to remember and admire forever.
Although she has also encountered injustices in her life, she is still calm and has not given up on her dreams.
He Zehui has turned her life into a splendid light and shadow, whether it is family background, or knowledge, family, children, career, health, or contributions to mankind, it is enough to record her in the history of the development of human civilization and science. She discovered the phenomenon of uranium nuclei three or four, developed nuclear latex that has reached the international advanced level, opened up the experimental field of neutron physics and fission physics in China, and promoted the research of cosmic ray ultra-high energy physics and high energy astrophysics to a new height.
He Zehui's legendary life has caused a sensation in the world, glorified China, and become our model. Let us always look up to her and look to her as a role model in our hearts.
