Why return to China? Eight words to impress***
In the period of rapid development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have made many remarkable achievements, but our military strength has developed slowly. Although we relied on our strong will and unprecedented unity to achieve a series of victories such as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the War to Resist France, the Battle of Zhenbao Island, the Sino-Indian Self-Defense Counterattack, and the Battle of Xisha Sea, due to the limitations of military strength, especially the best equipment conditions, many battles were victorious, but regrets were left.
When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, the U.S. Seventh Fleet blockaded the Taiwan Strait on June 27, blocking the way for the Chinese people to reunify their motherland.
Unable to overcome this obstacle, we will not be able to accomplish the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. This is a helpless and sad sentence uttered by ***: "We must liberate Taiwan Province, we must plant the five-star red flag in Taiwan Province, and we must drive out the US aggressors from Taiwan Province."
The Chinese people unswervingly support the revolutionary struggle of the peoples of all countries in the world and are determined to work together with the peoples of Asia and the world to drive out US imperialism from Asia and from all the places it occupies! ”
The United States blockaded China for decades, and later added the Soviet Union. However, China in the first period, with its own hands, smashed the imperialist encirclement, blockade, aggression and subversion.
What is even more commendable is that we have independently developed the "two bombs and one satellite" without relying on domestic and foreign debts, which has impressed all countries in the world and will no longer dare to lightly talk about waging war against us.
At a time when the country was impoverished, we courageously began to build the atomic bomb, with unimaginable difficulty and challenges. ** Once said to Marshal Montgomery: "We experiment with very little money, we do not have a strong economic base." ”
Because these are difficult times, our funding for nuclear testing is very tight. A group of scientists, generals and soldiers worked the barren Gobi in the great northwest to build an atomic bomb day and night.
By the time of the first atomic bomb**, these people had been working hard in the Great Northwest for nine years and finally succeeded. At 3 p.m. on October 16, 1964, China successfully launched its first atomic bomb in the Lop Nur area.
The development of the atomic bomb not only made Chinese people around the world proud, but also raised China's status in the world overnight.
Qian Xuesen's son, Qian Yonggang, once told a true story about a Chinese living in West Germany who found the door full of garbage every morning, and he kept cleaning it up.
But one day, he opened the door and found that there was no more garbage in the door. He was puzzled, and the community police came up to him and told him, "No one will take out the trash in your door anymore." ”
This story tells us that the father of China's atomic bomb was not just an outstanding scientist, but a group of great patriotic scientists, including Qian Xuesen.
They are the pride of our country. Today we are going to talk about the well-known Qian Xuesen.
Qian Xuesen: Fight for the country, no regrets Qian Xuesen, a passionate name, an outstanding scientist who struggles for the country. Born in Hangzhou, China in 1911, he was so excited to hear the news of the founding of the People's Republic of China that he immediately decided to return to China and contribute to the national defense of his motherland with his knowledge and skills.
It is not only the pride of the country, but also the leader of the world's scientific community. However, Qian Xuesen's return to China was full of hardships and twists and turns. Despite all kinds of obstruction from the United States, he still firmly chose to return to China.
He made a great contribution to the military cause of the United States in World War II, but became their target in the post-war McCarthyist madness**. He was illegally detained, questioned, and even arrested and imprisoned in a detention centre on the island of Termina, where he was subjected to various tortures.
However, Qian Xuesen has always persevered, and his determination and perseverance are deeply admired. He said: "I am Chinese, I can give up everything I have, but I can't give up my motherland." ”
He used his actions to tell us that we should fight for the country without complaint or regret.
In 1955, Qian Xuesen's family, who had gone through hardships, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. At that time, China was still a poor and backward agricultural country, and there was a big gap between China and other countries in all aspects.
However, it is such a country that has given birth to many people with lofty ideals. They returned from their studies abroad and used their knowledge to contribute to New China. Qian Xuesen is one of the best.
He selflessly dedicated his life's learning to the motherland, and after returning to China, he radiated great enthusiasm and creativity, and immediately founded the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and served as its director.
Under the leadership of Qian Xuesen, China's rocket and missile undertakings have developed rapidly, shocked the world, and established China's status as a major country and a military power. Under his leadership, China has made many important achievements, such as the successful launch of China's first imitation "Dongfeng" No. 1 ballistic missile in 1960, the successful launch of China's own "Dongfeng" No. 2 medium- and short-range missile in 1964, and three months later, China's first atomic bomb was successful on October 16, 1964, and on October 27, 1966, in the desert of Lop Nur, China's missile nuclear test was successful, and nuclear was realized.
The successful launch of the Dongfanghong artificial earth satellite marks a new milestone in China's space industry. With his unique wisdom and talent, Qian Xuesen has pushed China's large liquid rocket technology to a world-leading position.
In just a few years, he has achieved the rapid development of China's aerospace technology, leading China to become the third country to master satellite technology after the Soviet Union and the United States.
Qian Xuesen, who was in his old age, still maintained his enthusiasm for scientific and technological innovation, and the successful development of his submarine underwater launch carrier rocket once again added luster to China's missile family.
Qian Xuesen's name has become a monument in the history of modern Chinese science and technology, and it is the pride and glory of the people of Chinese.
Qian Xuesen once said: "Profit the country, not seek wealth and nobility." These 8 characters are from "The Book of Rites: Confucianism", which expresses his spirit of fighting for the interests of the country, regardless of personal gains and losses.
Lin Zexu also said: "If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune?" "They all exemplify a deep love and selfless dedication to their country. Chairman Mao once shed tears for Qian Xuesen's return to China, saying: "Scientists have a motherland, and Xuesen's return to China can at least advance China's missile atomic bomb for at least 20 years." ”
Although these great men have different division of labor, their common aspiration is the prosperity of the motherland and the people's living and working in peace and contentment. They are unparalleled in the country, our role models and our pride.
Looking back, they are far away from us, leaving only memories. However, we should not forget the spiritual legacy they left for us. Let's end with Chen Ziang's "Song of Dengyouzhou" in the Tang Dynasty: "I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the comers after."
Thinking of the world and the world, I was alone and wept. "Let's use this to remember them and inspire ourselves to strive forward and strive for self-improvement!
