year, the old father knows that his son is a hero, shocked!
Before reading this article, we hope you will click "Follow" first, which will not only make it easier for you to participate in the discussion and sharing, but also give you a unique sense of participation.
At the same time, we are very grateful for your support. In 1987, an elderly lady living in Guangdong received a magazine, but none of her friends and relatives had bought it.
The elderly and their families flipped through the magazine, and when they saw an article introducing "Chief Designer Huang", they were surprised to find that the highly acclaimed designer turned out to be their son Huang Xuhua.
For a while, the old man understood that his son had not returned home for thirty years for the development of the country. Today, Huang Xuhua has become a hero of the country. Why did Huang Xuhua choose to send magazines to tell his family about his achievements?
What kind of contribution did he make to the country? Let's get to know this silently dedicated hero.
In 1957, under the forward-looking advice of Marshal ***, the CCP decided to develop our country's own nuclear submarine. At that time, Huang Xuhua worked in the Second Department of Shanghai Shipbuilding Industry Administration, engaged in submarine research.
One day in 1958, he received a notice asking him to go to Beijing for a meeting. He was accompanied by more than two dozen ship technical experts. After arriving in Beijing, the meeting was presided over by Marshal *** himself.
Only then did Huang Xuhua realize that he had been selected to participate in the research and development of nuclear submarines. You must know that this work belongs to the state's top secret project. Born during the war years, Huang Xuhua has a deep understanding of the importance of military strength to national defense.
Therefore, in the face of the trust of the party and the state, he did not hesitate to take on this heavy responsibility.
When Huang Xuhua arrived at work, the leader had already emphasized to him the extremely high confidentiality of the task. He knows what that means, but he is confident that he will live up to the expectations of the party and the country.
So, he chose to stay in Beijing and work. Although he may have foreseen at the time that he would not be able to return home to visit his parents for decades to come. This is not only because the development of nuclear submarines is extremely secretive, but also because time waits for no one.
In particular, Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated, the USSR reneged on agreements, withdrew experts and technical assistance, and imposed a strict blockade on us. The Chinese nation, which has endured decades of turmoil in modern times, will never succumb to threats again.
At that time, strictly speaking, the conditions for the development of nuclear submarines were not available. However, this did not become a reason to stop the development of China's nuclear submarine industry, but inspired scientific researchers to be more determined and persevering.
The research of Huang Xuhua and others tells us that when the Chinese nation is faced with difficulties, the last thing it lacks is the wisdom to solve problems and create miracles. Under the hostility of Europe and the United States towards our country and the technological blockade of the Soviet Union, we did not have the conditions, so we went to create them.
Collecting information about nuclear submarines from magazines and newspapers, Huang Xuhua and his colleagues took the initiative to collect, sort, compare, and screen information in the face of a sea of information that was difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.
In the end, after a series of analyses and studies, the scientists came up with a general framework for the nuclear submarine, and although the reliability of this conclusion has yet to be further confirmed, their efforts and wisdom have undoubtedly set an example for us.
By chance, diplomats brought back toy models of American nuclear submarines from overseas. After Huang Xuhua and others repeatedly disassembled and assembled the model, they found that the model was almost completely consistent with the data, which made the technicians feel a little relieved.
The structure was largely determined, but the challenge of translating the drawings into physical objects was far more daunting than collecting information. Taking data calculation as an example, there were no large-scale calculators in China at that time, and all data had to be calculated with an abacus.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, a set of data will be calculated by two or three groups of people separately, and only the results are consistent can be passed, otherwise it needs to be recalculated. In addition, there are many other problems, including material measurement, ship structure, nuclear power plant, etc., which are the results of Huang Xuhua and others overcoming many difficulties and gradually improving from scratch.
At the end of 1970, China successfully developed the first autonomous torpedo attack nuclear submarine. Four years later, this nuclear submarine was officially delivered to the Navy, marking a major breakthrough in nuclear submarine technology in China.
However, researchers such as Huang Xuhua did not stop there, they knew that in order to completely get rid of the predicament of being controlled by others, they must continue to carry out technological innovation and research and development.
As a result, they put off going home to visit their families and devote themselves to scientific research. After 30 years of hard work, they finally set foot on their homeland again and made great contributions to the nuclear submarine cause of the motherland.
Huang Xuhua has been studying abroad since he was a teenager. He spent his school years in the midst of war, and the turmoil of the times made it almost a decade before he returned home to visit his parents for the first time.
At that time, the Liberation War was almost over, and Huang Xuhua was about to graduate. Due to his excellent grades and good thinking, Huang Xuhua stayed in Shanghai to work as soon as he graduated.
In 1956, Huang Xuhua went to Guangzhou on a business trip for work and was able to return home again to reunite with his relatives. Looking at their son after seven or eight years of absence, the parents were full of emotion. Although there was still work to be done, Huang Xuhua only stayed at home for three days, and before leaving, his mother reluctantly hoped that he would come home often.
Huang Xuhua promised that the war was over at that time, and his work had been settled, and he believed that there would be many opportunities to reunite with his family in the future. However, he has been gone for thirty years.
After joining the nuclear submarine development project in 1958, Huang Xuhua never returned home to visit his parents, and his contact with his family has been decreasing. His parents love his son deeply, and his siblings are also worried about their distant relatives, often looking forward to his return home, and will also care about his work.
When Huang Xuhua faced the love and inquiries of his loved ones, he could only answer perfunctory with vague answers. In order to improve the lives of his parents, he would send 10 yuan during the New Year's Festival. Although this was not a small amount of money at the time, for parents, they were more eager for the company of their son.
Even if they can't go home, they want more contact with their son. However, Huang Xuhua was unable to do this, and when he decided to participate in the development of nuclear submarines, his life could not be compared with ordinary people.
Because he didn't know anything about his work, his parents couldn't accept him sending money to fulfill his filial piety, so they returned the money in a fit of anger, and his sister also accused him in the letter. In the face of the returned money and his sister's accusations, the pain in Huang Xuhua's heart may only be felt by himself, but the more difficult things he faces are still to come.
As my father grew older, he had physical problems and even suffered from cerebral infarction. For the sake of better **, the family decided to take him to Beijing. Although they knew that Huang Xuhua was in Beijing, they did not know anything about his specific workplace or address.
For many years, their only *** was an email address. Half a year later, Huang Xuhua received a letter from home, but learned the sad news that his father had passed away.
However, due to various reasons, he was unable to return home to see off his father. Huang Xuhua's father didn't know until his death what a great thing his third son was doing.
In the eyes of his family, Huang Xuhua gradually became an "unfilial son". In this regard, Huang Xuhua felt powerless, because since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve.
Until the eighties, China made a major breakthrough in the research of nuclear submarines, and Huang Xuhua was appointed chief designer. In 1988, the country decided to conduct a deep diving experiment in the South China Sea, and Huang Xuhua planned to personally lead the team to dive.
In 1963, the United States also conducted a submarine deep diving experiment, but that experiment ended in the death of more than 100 experimenters. Despite his confidence in the results of these years, Huang Xuhua is still a little worried.
Since the location of the experiment was not far from his hometown, he decided to take a trip home and stop by to see his family. Before that, he had sent a letter to his family mentioning the magazine, but he was not sure if his family had seen the article "The Mighty and Nameless Life."
In the article, "Chief Designer Huang" was accidentally discovered by her mother to be her third son who she had missed for many years. For this reason, the mother gathered the family, hoping that everyone could understand Huang Xuhua's difficulties.
When Huang Xuhua returned home, his mother already knew that he was a hero of the country, and had already forgiven the fact that he had not returned home for many years. Whenever he thinks of this, Huang Xuhua can't help but burst into tears.
Later, when he went on a business trip to the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, he went to see his father's grave. Presumably, after his father learned the truth, he would also understand his son's decision. Although Huang Xuhua regretted missing out on the family fun, he said that even if he was given another chance, he would still choose to dedicate himself to the country.
The years go by, but the original intention remains the same, Huang Xuhua once said in an interview: "Loyalty to the country is the greatest filial piety to parents." Over the course of his life, he did live it.
Huang Xuhua was born in Haifeng, Guangdong Province in 1926, and his parents set a good example for him by dedicating their lives to practicing medicine and saving lives. Originally, he also wanted to inherit his parents' medical skills and become a good doctor who can ** patients and save people from fire and water.
However, the spread of war made Huang Xuhua change his ambitions. Especially after 1937, the war gradually spread across the country, and Huang Xuhua deeply felt the powerlessness of doctors.
He gradually realized that in order to save more compatriots, it was necessary to create a real **, so that the enemy would not dare to invade China again.
After careful consideration, Huang Xuhua made an important decision: he wanted to learn shipbuilding. So, at the age of 21, he went all out to be admitted to the shipbuilding department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Although the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had ended, Chiang Kai-shek and other reactionaries conspired to start a civil war. As a hot-blooded youth, Huang Xuhua actively participated in various activities against the Kuomintang reactionaries.
These experiences made him deeply feel the great appeal of the Communist Party of China. After that, he submitted an application to join the party and successfully joined the party organization. At the same time, he did not forget to study, and after graduation, he stayed in Shanghai to engage in shipbuilding.
In 1954, under the guidance of foreign experts, he participated in the creation of the first minesweeper and submarine hunting submarine in our country. Four years later, he was selected to join the team for the development of nuclear submarines.
Academician Huang Xuhua devoted himself to scientific research for 30 years until April 1988, when he ended a short visit to his family and began to make final preparations for the deep diving experiment. To commemorate the occasion, the technicians involved in the dive took a group photo before conducting the experiment.
In the face of the tense atmosphere in the team, Academician Huang Xuhua personally held a symposium, hoping to ease the atmosphere. As the chief designer, Huang Xuhua could have stayed on shore, but he believed in his research results and resolutely decided to participate in the deep dive himself.
When the others learned of the news, the tense and tragic atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and everyone cheered up.
In the deep-sea challenge, Huang Xuhua personally sat in the battle. As the submarine descends into the ocean, the top shell is subjected to tremendous water pressure, and subtle sounds can be heard in the cabin. While many were nervous and worried, Huang focused on analyzing the data on the submarine.
He calmly directed the submarine to continue its dive until it succeeded in breaking the previous historical record. A new record was born, and the atmosphere inside the submarine became relaxed. When all the data checks were correct, the submarine began to float.
When they reached a safe depth, the people in the cabin cheered and couldn't contain their excitement. This is not only a symbol of their safety, but also a success of submarine technology. Some people even asked Huang Xuhua to write an inscription to commemorate this exciting moment.
Huang Xuhua immediately wrote: "In the year of the sixtieth year, explore the Dragon Palace." Stormy waves, fun in it. ”
These words fully show Huang Xuhua's life, from his dedication to shipbuilding to the success of this deep dive, decades have passed. He went from being young and promising to being in his old age, and finally realized his lifelong wish through unremitting efforts to enable China's nuclear submarines to sail safely in the oceans.
Compared with other countries, the speed of development of China's nuclear submarines is amazing. It only took a dozen years to complete the path of the West for decades. And Huang Xuhua has also changed from an unknown person to a well-known "father of China's nuclear submarines", and has won many honors and commendations.
In the face of these praises, Huang Xuhua has always adhered to his original intention and mission. Even though he has achieved fame and can retire to enjoy happiness, he still keeps working. Academician Huang Xuhua, who is already in his prime, sorted out his decades of accumulation, hoping to present those precious materials to future generations completely.
I would like to pay tribute to Academician Huang Xuhua with this article!
