To write about Marie Curie, the heart is relatively heavy, because when reading her story, I can't help but cry a few times.
We only know Marie Curie's achievements, and who knows how she survived her hard and bumpy life?
Mary is the fifth child in the family, dad said, she is a bird to send the baby, round beep she has been loved and loved by the whole family since birth.
Mary's parents were both high intellectuals, because there were too many children in the family, her mother quit her school job, and her father's subsequent job also changed, and since then, life has become difficult.
Without a stable financial resource, Dad had to receive tutoring services and accept students to live in his own home, because the students contracted wind chills and at the same time infected Mary's eldest sister Rosa.
Rosa hurt Mary the most, Mary is smart and cute and very studious, and Sister Rosa is like one of her teachers.
But Rosa's sister died in 1876 due to wind and cold.
10-year-old Mary is very sad, her mother suffers from tuberculosis, the body is getting weaker, but still take good care of their brothers and sisters, the sudden departure of the sister, so that Mary has resisted the "God", she prayed every day, but still could not exchange for the health of the family, two years later, the mother also left.
Mary was born in Poland, a country that had been divided up three times, and her hometown of Warsaw was then ruled by Russia, so they could not even take Polish language classes, could not study Polish history, and if they were discovered by the superintendent, the consequences would be very serious.
Mary lost her mother and sister at a young age, her father led them to move away from the sad place, the new environment has kind neighbors to comb her hair, classmates are also very friendly to her, she is excellent in her studies, and the teachers are very important to her.
But at the age of 16, after graduating from high school, he faced dropping out of school, because of poverty, his father alone could not afford the study costs of several children, Mary and her sister Bronia wanted to go to school in Paris, but the reality was that neither of them could go, so the sisters began to work to earn their own tuition, and it took many days to find that money was not so easy to come.
The sister is 20 years old, soon past the admission age, 16-year-old Mary made a very great decision, for the sister to study, she advised the sister, wait for the sister to graduate can make money, she just reached the school age, then the sister can turn around and provide her with school.
The sisters who cherish each other hug each other and cry bitterly, and only those who have experienced poverty know the preciousness of everything in life.
After sending Bronnia to school, Mary found a lot of tutoring jobs, and spent a long time in Mrs. Brown and Zsilov's house, these two "upstarts" treated her extremely badly, let her taste the suffering of the world, she wrote in a letter to her sister: "Let me understand what kind of animals people are, sadly, this is the only harvest I have gained here."
But then she met the Flokas, a good family, but no one here was educated, mary had a hard time here, but she found the meaning of life, volunteered to teach the children of the village, she hoped that the Polish country would not really disappear from the world map from now on, she was patriotic, she hoped that everyone could have the same ideals and beliefs as she did.
Marie, 24, had already thought that she would never have a chance to go to Paris again, her sister was married and had a hard time, so when her sister wrote to invite her to Paris, she was still very excited, which was what she dreamed of.
The brother-in-law is a very good person, takes very good care of her, invites Mary to live with them, so as to save a lot of expenses, Mary is very hard, every day in addition to the class is in the study in research, she fell too much, the foundation is too poor, in the class are alternative elements, because she dresses dirty, the foundation is poor, the French is poor, so the basic classmates rarely interact with her.
But the brother-in-law was a particularly interesting man, with so many socializing and friends that Mary could not concentrate on her studies. Since Mary was a child, as long as she devoted herself to studying, she was sleeping and forgetting to eat, once her brothers and sisters folded the stool and stood behind her when she was studying, as long as she moved, the stool would collapse, but Mary finished reading a book, the stool did not move, at that time, only seven or eight years old, she already had the spirit of concentration.
So Mary rented a house near the school, it was a very dilapidated house, dirty and messy, Mary slept in winter even her underwear was cushioned, or could not solve the cold, she even pressed a stool on the quilt to resist the cold, completely with her will to let herself sleep.
Mary, who has no income, does not want to worry about her sister and brother-in-law, sometimes hungry for a few days without eating or drinking, once fainted in the arms of her classmates, her sister only knew the truth, was scolded by her brother-in-law, and ordered her sister to take good care of her for a while.
Mary was most interested in scientific experiments, which she realized when his friend Bovsky took her to his Industrial Museum that this was what she wanted.
The 24-year-old Mary returned to her hometown for the first time, and saw her old father burst into tears in an instant, for the sake of four children, her father was really not easy, she was distressed about her father's hard work, to run for their four brothers and sisters, she did not want to open her mouth to her father again.
Hard-working people will always have luck, her classmates have good news, Alexander Bursary has Mary's place, which is undoubtedly the best news, father is also for pleasure, which means that Mary can continue to study without distraction, strive for her dreams, this time, she specializes in mathematics.
At the age of 26, Marie met pierre Curie, the most important person in her life, he was French, and Marie loved scientific research, and the like-minded two were very close, and soon Marie was invited to meet her parents, and the old Curie couple was particularly satisfied with Marie and hoped to become their daughter-in-law.
In 1894, Mary received a bachelor's degree in mathematics, which was hard-won and mixed.
Old Curie went to his sister's house to propose to him, and his sister and brother-in-law were very much in favor of this marriage. But Mary did not dare to tell her father, because it meant that she was going to stay away from her father, who was old and she could not bear it.
The father had known everything long ago, and he blessed Mary, the youngest and cutest daughter. Marie, 27, married Pierre, 36, and Marie became Marie Curie. Two years later Mary obtained a teaching certificate and could legally become a teacher.
Three years later Mary gave birth to a lovely daughter, named Ellen, in order to support the research of the two couples, the father old Curie offered to help them take care of the children, at this time Mary's mother-in-law has long died of illness, the father-in-law is an old doctor, by him to take care of the child, they are very assured, you can do physical research wholeheartedly, Mary always felt that asphalt uranium can be separated from other elements.
They borrowed the school's abandoned classrooms and storage rooms, the conditions were very simple, once a laboratory for autopsies, now even the floor and ceiling are broken, hot in summer and cold in winter, very harsh environment, very scarce experimental funds, the two of them struggle in this laboratory.
Unfortunately, Mary was diagnosed with tuberculosis, just like her mother was, but she did not accept fate, did not take the pain to heart, and devoted herself to her work, while fighting the disease, while carefully studying.
Finally they have a big discovery, a year to the outside world to break out two new terms "polonium" and "radium", although the public will also question, but are willing to believe them, the focus is that you have to refine it, seeing is believing. So the couple continued to devote themselves to a long period of research.
At this time, Geneva had paid a high price to hire them to teach at the school there, and the benefits were very attractive, but they refused. Curie was sometimes discouraged, sometimes he had the mentality of quitting the group, and Marie Curie was always encouraging him, because Marie's goal was clear, and she insisted on it.
Mary was invited by the university to give a research speech, passed a harsh oral exam, and she performed very well, receiving an honorary award and a doctorate in physics, while all walks of life began to support their research.
In 1902, the extraction work made its first breakthrough, and three years later, the radium extraction was successful, and they were so excited that they could not express themselves with pen and ink.
In addition to luminescence, radium also has a good effect on malignant tumors, it can identify the authenticity of diamonds, but also has a corrosive effect on cotton and paper, the research value can be imagined.
The role used in medicine is called "Curie Therapy" and benefits mankind.
1906 was the saddest year of Marie Curie's life, because her favorite Pierre died in a car accident in Sweden, which hit her very hard, once decadent, unable to cheer up, which was the most vulnerable day of Mary's life.
The morning was as usual, and the evening was separated, and the pain was so painful that poor Mary gradually accepted the reality after two months.
Over the years, Mary not only worked hard, but also had to take care of the family, and like all ordinary women, she needed to do housework, learn to cook, take care of the elderly and children, and be a scientist.
Four years after Pierre's death, her father-in-law also died of laryngitis, leaving only Marie, the eldest daughter Iren, and the younger daughter Eve. Her two daughters were very well educated by her, independent and confident, Elaine loved science as much as her mother, and the younger daughter loved music, and Mary was very supportive of them.
At the age of 44, Mary won two Nobel Prizes, which is the supreme honor, but also the first woman, for a while the whole world is blessing her, but she is not used to it, she only wants to do her own research for the benefit of mankind, she does not want to sell her patents, and contributed her research.
In 1914, the First World War broke out, the family was scattered, no one could contact anyone for five years, Marie Curie took the illness to the front, took her radium, used a borrowed car to rescue the wounded, shuttled through the rain of bullets and bullets every day, several times in distress and trapped, the Jiren had its own heavenly appearance, this great and brave woman, finally waited for the day when the war ended, and at the same time made her very happy that the war was over and Poland was finally liberated.
In her reply to her brother and sister, she wrote: On the one hand, I feel happy, on the other hand, I feel a lot of emotions. Compatriots who have been chained from the cradle period will soon be able to breathe free air and shine bright sunshine; Of course, the compatriots also paid a blood price for this!
In 1933, Marie Curie was diagnosed with gallbladder stones, which, like before her father's death, she had always hated that she had not seen the last side of her father, which became a lifelong regret, and now she has also found the disease herself, because of perennial radium exposure, and tuberculosis relapsed again the following year.
Marie Curie's life was fixed on July 4, 1934, and the 66-year-old Marie ended the hardships of this life, and her achievements benefited all mankind for generations to come.
Diligent, fraternal, simple and selflessly dedicated Marie Curie, today's photos hang in every classroom full of reading in the world, she is a tragic figure, but bravely resisted fate, portraying this character so great.
