Huang Kun is one of the founders of solid state physics and semiconductor physics in China, and has made great contributions to China's semiconductor industry and cultivated many talent backbones. Huang Kun was born on September 2, 1919, and most of his life revolved around the study of this semiconductor, as a scientist with both moral integrity and ability.
About this world-famous scientist, he not only has a lot of achievements in his career, but also has an enviable love story emotionally. In 1952, a British girl followed Huang Kun to China, and the two did not abandon each other for 53 years. What kind of story is this?
In May 1947, Huang Kun co-authored a book with the famous physicist Born in the Department of Physics at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. The following year, after huang kun successfully obtained his doctorate, he did research work at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Liverpool. During his studies at the University of Liverpool, Huang Kun formed a deep friendship with a British woman named Reese.
Gradually, Huang Kun and Reese's friendship turned into love. In April 1952, Reese came to China to form a good relationship with Huang Kun and the Qin and Jin dynasties.
Since he had come to China, he followed the customs, and soon Rees had a Chinese name "Li Aifu", which is said to have been given by Huang Kun's brother.
In previous years, marrying a foreigner was not an easy thing to accept, so Huang Kun married a foreign daughter-in-law, which was really shocking. Fortunately, the two had a comfortable life and had their own children after marriage.
Li Aifu is not as difficult to integrate into Chinese life as other foreigners, she often wears Chinese clothes, and the quilt at home is also old-fashioned cotton wool, which can be said to be very adaptable. In 1956, Li Aifu officially acquired Chinese nationality.
In the same year, in order to change the backwardness of China's science and technology, the relevant departments formulated a twelve-year scientific and technological development master plan, which included the cultivation of a group of semiconductor talents.
Subsequently, five institutions of higher learning jointly established a training course at Peking University, taught by Huang Kun himself. From 1957 to 1958, Huang Kun trained more than 200 semiconductor students, and also established workshops and research institutes for the production of semiconductor-related materials and devices, so that China's semiconductor disciplines and technologies can develop independently.
In addition, among the students Huang Kun trained, such as Qin Guogang, Gan Zizhao and Xia Jianbai, he was later elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In my opinion, to be able to marry a foreign woman in the last century should be true love. Regardless of the eyes and suspicions of the world, he bravely married Li Aifu, and Huang Kun was indeed a responsible husband. Fortunately, Huang Kun's family did not reject the foreign daughter-in-law too much, and gave her Chinese name.
In 1953, Huang Kun became the director of the solid energy spectroscopy laboratory and laboratory, which made Huang Kun very excited, because he could finally have a position for solid state physics research. In 1969, Huang Kun was placed to undergo labor reform at No. 200 of Peking University. Peking University No. 200, that is, a semiconductor production base.
In the process of transformation, Huang Kun welded plastic ventilation pipes, made transistor integrated circuits, and did some boring things all day long, getting farther and farther away from the cause he loved.
It wasn't until 1975 that things took a turn for the better. That year, Huang Kun was invited to the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to give a report, and coincidentally, Grandpa Deng's daughter was also present, and soon after Grandpa Deng knew what happened to Huang Kun.
In 1977, at the age of 58, Huang Kun was named director of the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. And began his most beloved career, Huang Kun's life suddenly had hope.
In 2001, Huang Kun won the highest national science and technology award and a prize of 5 million yuan. The prize of 5 million yuan was a huge amount of money at that time and now. After getting the money, Huang Kun couldn't sleep all day and night, because there was also a credit for everyone here.
After thinking about it. Huang Kun donated 4.5 million yuan to the Semiconductor Research Institute of the original unit Academy of Sciences as a scientific research fund. However, after many research and discussions in the institute, it was finally decided to use this money to establish the "Huangkun Fund" to reward those who contributed to semiconductor research.
Huang Kun devoted his life to the research of semiconductors, but unexpectedly interrupted in the research process, but he did not choose to give up. In the labor reform that did not know when it would end, god finally had an eye and gave him another opportunity to continue to study semiconductors.
This time, Huang Kun firmly grasped the opportunity and won the highest national science and technology award and a huge prize in one fell swoop, but Huang Kun did not swallow the prize money alone and donated most of the prize money, which is the self-cultivation of a generation of scientists.
As the literary scholar Roland said, "The meaning of success should be a kind of unashamed pleasure of harvesting after playing to one's own strengths and doing one's own efforts, not for vanity or money."
Huang Kun made a significant contribution to the semiconductor industry during his lifetime, and later unfortunately suffered from Parkinson's disease. After the illness, Huang Kun gradually lost the ability to take care of himself, and a few years later he was admitted to the hospital because of a lung infection.
Affected by illness, Huang Kun's sanity was often in chaos. For treatment, Huang Kun was injected with a large number of antibiotics, resulting in swelling of the whole body, and symptoms of kidney failure, and finally had to rely on drugs and ventilators to maintain his life. Huang Kun's wife, Li Aifu, could not bear Huang Kun's torment and decided to give up treatment.
On July 6, 2005, Huang Kun died of illness, a family of three, and finally only his wife and son were left.
Afterwards, someone asked Li Aifu whether he would go to the UK to live or continue to stay in China, and Li Aifu replied that he was Chinese, and that he would only go back to the UK to see his son, and then he would come back.
In the author's opinion, some people, meet is a lifetime. For 53 years, Huang Kun and Li Aifu have survived the ups and downs, but the two treat each other with sincerity and have not had half a distraction, which is a touching love. It is probably a happy thing to have such a loyal love, as Shakespeare said, "Faithful love is overflowing in my heart, and I cannot estimate the wealth I enjoy."
In the last century, when marrying foreigners, I have to say that Huang Kun and Li Aifu were quite brave. Even in modern times, marrying a foreigner is subject to a degree of criticism, let alone before. However, in the face of various difficulties, the two still do not want to miss each other and choose to spend their lives together.
As the saying goes, behind a successful man there is always a woman who silently supports him, and Li Aifu is the woman who silently supports Huang Kun. In the past 53 years, Li Aifu supported Huang Kun's career, whether he was at the peak or at the low, her love for Huang Kun has never wavered. The two people spent their lives in the wind and rain, fortunately did not live up to each other, and truly did not give up.
