Is Deng Jiaxian still alive? Although Deng Jiaxian's life is coming to an end, his deeds and spirit will always live in people's hearts. **The Military Commission's declassification of him is not only a recognition of his life's contributions, but also the inheritance of his spirit.
Deng Jiaxian, born in Huaining, Anhui Province in 1924, his father Deng Yizhen, is a famous professor at Peking University in China. Deng Yizhen has high hopes for Deng Jiaxian, hoping that he can serve the motherland when he grows up.
When he was 5 years old, Deng Jia first left his hometown in Anhui with his parents and went to school in Beiping. In the class, he was the youngest, but his grades were very good. In 1936, when he was a student at Chongde Middle School in Beiping, he met Mr. Yang Zhenning, and the two formed a deep friendship and became lifelong friends.
Deng Jiaxian and Yang Zhenning met at the Southwest Associated University, and he actively participated in reading progressive books and set up his ambition to promise the country with his own body. In 1943, Deng Jiaxian gave up his preferential treatment abroad and returned to China to join the Anti-Japanese War.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he became the youngest doctoral student at Purdue University after only two years of study in the United States, and his outstanding performance attracted the attention of all walks of life in the United States, and some research institutions offered high salaries in the hope of retaining him.
However, nine days after receiving his Ph.D., Deng Jiaxian couldn't wait to return to China.
Deng Jia first started his research career at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he diligently read materials and devoted himself to research, becoming the youngest senior researcher at the institute in just eight years.
In 1953, he tied the knot with Xu Luxi, and the two had two children. However, a secret mission from the state kept them apart for more than 10 years. Deng Jiaxian went incognito, carrying out his work in obscurity, and was not declassified until his death.
In October 1958, he told his wife that he was going on a special mission, and he has not been heard from since. Xu Luxi and his unit leaders, colleagues, relatives and friends did not know what he was doing, because his name disappeared during this period.
As the years passed, the speculation and doubts about Xu Luxi from the outside world intensified, some people questioned Deng Jiaxian's defection, some people rumored that he had passed away unexpectedly, and even more, some people persuaded her to remarry, but Xu Luxi turned a deaf ear to this, she was convinced that her husband must be engaged in a major career.
At this time, Deng Jiaxian had already gone to the northwest Gobi of the motherland, and with like-minded comrades-in-arms, he devoted his most precious 30 years to the research of China's nuclear power.
Deng Jiaxian led his team to stick to the desert, although the foundation was weak, but he took on the heavy responsibility of exploring the atomic bomb theory alone. He was both a teacher and a student, and he used the primitive abacus to calculate massive amounts of data day and night, and the entire research team calculated day and night, and the monotony of life can almost drive people crazy.
All this is insignificant for those who put the mission of the Motherland in the first place. They were hungry and gnawed half a steamed bun, and when they were sleepy, they found a place to sleep, and in this harsh environment, it took them only eight years to successfully test the first atomic bomb.
At that time, Deng Jiaxian's research encountered many difficulties, and even his life was threatened, however, the arrival of one person not only saved him, but also saved China's nuclear industry, and this person was Yang Zhenning.
After Deng Jiaxian retired in 1986, the state declassified the relevant secrets for him, but due to long-term exposure to nuclear radiation, he unfortunately suffered from rectal cancer and was about to come to an end.
Even when he was dying, he remained concerned about the nuclear cause of his homeland. Deng Jiaxian and Xu Luxi have been married for 33 years, but the two have only been together for 6 years.
At the 1999 Two Bombs and One Star Commendation Conference, when Deng Jiaxian's name was mentioned, an old man in the corner applauded excitedly with tears in his eyes. She is Xu Luxi.
