Changsha Evening News, Changsha, March 5 (Reporter Li Zhuo) He once devoted himself to the arduous research of refining uranium dioxide at Hengyang 272 Plant, China's first large-scale uranium hydrometallurgical purification plant, and personally gave a haircut to Academician Deng Jiaxian, the founder of "two bombs and one satellite", ......In the eyes of the neighbors of Qingshuitang Community, Qingshuitang Street, Kaifu District, 85-year-old Hu Lianzhong is just a lovely old man who loves to collect, understands seal carving, and is enthusiastic about public welfare, but he does not know that he has participated in the scientific research of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.
On the 5th, the Qingshuitang Community New Era Civilization Practice Station learned from Lei Feng Volunteer Service Love Bazaar opened, and the Provincial Party Committee's ** Department, the Municipal First Hospital, the First Brigade of the Municipal Special Police Detachment, the Dingcheng Volunteer Team and the Kaifu Good People joined hands to carry out professional volunteer services from free knife sharpening, haircuts, sewing to B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, pulmonary function and hearing screening, and at the same time, a special neighborhood story meeting related to Hu Lianzhong was also lively. With the first expansion of the Hunan Lei Feng Memorial Hall, which has been treasured by Hu Lao for 24 years, the original manuscript of the preface of the Lei Feng deeds exhibition was exhibited for the first time, and everyone knew that the scientific and technological personnel who had participated in the scientific research of the "two bombs" were by their side.
The people miss Lei Feng, everyone learns from Lei Feng, and the spirit of Lei Feng will live forever. The yellowed original manuscript of the preface to the exhibition of Lei Feng's deeds witnessed the changes of the first expansion of the Hunan Lei Feng Memorial Hall in 1990. In 2000, Hu Lianzhong received this original manuscript from Lei Feng's relative, calligrapher He Jianguo, and has been treasured to this day. Along with this original manuscript, which was made public for the first time, there was also a little-known story of Hu Lianzhong.
I wasn't a scientist, I was just a skilled electrician. Speaking of the secret scientific research past, Hu Dad is calm and humble in the style of a "sweeping monk". According to the information provided by the community, in May 1963, Hu Lianzhong was selected and transferred from the electrician post technician of Changsha Agricultural Machinery Factory to work in Hengyang City No. 272 Factory by the Beijing Second Machinery Department, and later transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region to participate in the development of China's first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb.
A small local factory electrician can work with academicians and scientists to tackle key problems in scientific research? According to the data, at that time, China's "two bombs" scientific research started from a poor and white, and there was a shortage of relevant professional and technical personnel, so technical personnel in all aspects of the country were selected and appointed. Hu Dad said that the colleagues of that year included high-end talents from all walks of life, not only scientists and academicians, but even the uncle who was so subtle that he could match the exact same key at a glance.
Coincidentally, I also personally gave Academician Deng Jiaxian a haircut. Hu Dad recalled that when he was selected and transferred to Guangdong, important personnel "from Beijing" came to visit and inspect, but because of the need for secrecy, they did not know their specific names and identities, and "Deng Gong" lived on the second floor of the army barracks and was his upstairs neighbor. Hu Lianzhong was enthusiastic about public welfare when he was young, learned hairdressing with his father-in-law, carried a pair of push scissors, and usually gave free haircuts to his comrades-in-arms and colleagues. After working with "Deng Gong" for a short time and gradually getting acquainted, Hu Lianzhong took the initiative to propose that "Deng Gong" had too long hair, so he would come to get a haircut. "I used this broken push clipper to give him a 'Western-style haircut', and I got stuck several times in the meantime and pulled out his hair. Hu Dad said with a smile that he knew that "Deng Gong" was the famous academician Deng Jiaxian many years after changing jobs, and he only remembered that he was dressed plainly, humble and easy-going, and did not put on the stand of a great scientist.
Tang Guoqing, Secretary of the Party Committee of Qingshuitang Community, said that there are still 5 alive in the community like Hu Lianzhong, a "very storyful" old-timer, and the community plans to use storytelling, sitcoms, short documentaries and other ways to put their deeds on the neighborhood theater, and rescue records to inherit heroic stories to inspire the present.
