Qian Xuesen we are not strangers, in the fifties of the last century, when new China was just established, Qian Xuesen gave up the preferential treatment in the United States, returned to China, and eventually became the founder of China's two bombs and one star, in fact, Qian Xuesen himself as an excellent aerodynamicist, second to none in the world, he can choose to enjoy the material life very much, but he is willing to be poor, this spirit makes us moved.
In fact, many times we are moved by Qian Lao's knowledge, noble sentiments and perfect love with his wife, but few people know that Qian Xuesen also has a cousin Qian Xuequ, who is only three years younger than Qian Xuesen, but he also studies aerodynamics and enjoys a high reputation in the world, but Qian Xuesen's younger brother did not choose to return to China, but joined the United States.
In fact, we do not have to condemn this, after all, people have their own aspirations, such as Yang Zhenning, the reason why he did not return to China, mainly because he studied theoretical physics, there is no suitable environment in China to help him research, the same Qian Xuequ himself also has concerns, to say that Qian Xuequ himself is also a patriotic scientist, and his relationship with Qian Xuesen is also very deep, after all, the age of the two is there.
Qian Xuequ's father Qian Zefu and Qian Xuesen's father Qian Junfu are brothers, Qian Junfu only has one son, but Qian Zefu has a son and a daughter, namely Qian Xueyu and Qian Xueren, but Qian Xueyu fell in the middle of the family road in his childhood, as a brother, Qian Junfu took on the burden of his nephew's food and clothing, and also grew up in the same family environment, Qian Xuequ is also very accomplished in scientific research, not only that, he later entered Jiaotong University like Qian Xuesen, only two years later than Qian Xuesen.
Qian Xuesen was admitted to the qualifications of public students to go to the United States, when Qian Xuequ had also graduated, as a teaching assistant at Tsinghua University, it was originally stable, but Qian Junfu encouraged this nephew to study in the United States, and hoped that he could achieve greater achievements, it was also under the encouragement of his uncle, Qian Xuequ also went to the United States, and also applied for the aviation major. After completing his studies, he should have reimbursed the country, but at that time China was in a critical moment, and in 1939 Qian Xuequ returned to China to serve as the chief engineer of the aircraft engine factory run by the Chinese Government's Aviation Commission, ready to help China build aircraft.
However, he did not expect that under the painstaking loneliness, the funds raised were actually embezzled, and Qian Xuequ, who was sad, went to the United States again, although Qian Xuesen later persuaded him to return to China, but Qian Xuequ had concerns, so he did not return to the motherland. In this way, the two cousins were on opposite sides, and since then they have never intersected, and their children have also embarked on different paths later, and Qian Xuequ's two children have made achievements on the road of scientific research, especially the younger son Qian Yongjian, who later won the Nobel Prize.
