The great man once commented on Mr. Qian Xuesen: "Americans regard Qian Xuesen as 5 divisions, and in my opinion, for us, Qian Xuesen is more powerful than 5 divisions." ”
It can be seen that the great man has a very high evaluation of Qian Xuesen, and Qian Xuesen has indeed contributed his life to our country's national defense construction, and he is the one who opened the door to the construction of the aerospace industry with the last key, and he is the father of the space industry.
With the continuous development of society, the demand for talents is getting bigger and bigger, and talents are the biggest force in the country and the driving force for the continuous development of the country. Especially in developing China, it is even more necessary to need talents, and it can be said that China can continue to develop and occupy a place in the international community without the contribution of generations of outstanding talents.
Compared with the current excellent environment, when New China was just founded, the backward scientific research conditions made many scientific research talents at that time difficult, and many people could not publish praise as they do now even if they had major contributions, that is to say, they were all dedicating themselves with patriotic enthusiasm, even if they may not have any honor.
Qian Xuesen was one of the first batch of talents to build a new China, dedicated his life to the construction of the motherland, and promoted the development of China's aerospace industry.
Refused to return to China with a high salary
"The world is bustling for profit, the world is all for profit" This is the creed of many people in the past and the present, most of the egoists believe that there is no eternal friend, only eternal interests, it can be said that interests are the best weapon to maintain all relations. But there is still such a group of people in the world who have been chasing their own beliefs all their lives, and even can give up their interests for their own beliefs.
In 1934, when Qian Xuesen was only 2 years old, after graduating from the National Jiaotong University, he was given the opportunity to study in a foreign country because of his excellent grades, and Qian Xuesen did not let this precious opportunity be wasted.
Unlike other idiots who just want to mix a degree casually, Qian Xuesen studied very hard after staying in the ocean, and obtained a double doctorate from The California Institute of Technology in three years.
In contrast, how many of the current master's and doctoral students are doing their research with their hearts? Taking graduate school and doctoral studies as a shield to evade work, how much is the love for scientific research? Experiments are completed every day with a perfunctory attitude, and the final results are always mediocre. What the country needs is high-quality talents who really do scientific research, not the idle people who mess around every day.
After graduating from the California Institute of Technology, Qian Xuesen was engaged in missile weapons research in the United States, and outstanding talents always attracted people's attention; the US government's evaluation of Qian Xuesen was: Qian Xuesen was worth at least five divisions, which shows that the US government at that time attached great importance to Qian Xuesen, and even handed over the confidential information involved in the national defense cause to Qian Xuesen for research, and Qian Xuesen's professional accomplishment is evident.
According to the records left at that time, the US government trusted Qian Xuesen very much and offered Qian Xuesen an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars every year, which was a large amount at the time, and even now, it was an annual salary that many people could not achieve. Qian Xuesen not only paid a high salary in the United States, but also the Americans at that time respected Qian Xuesen and did not discriminate against Qian Xuesen because Qian Xuesen was Chinese.
"My last name is Qian, but I don't love money." With the establishment of New China and China's wastes waiting to be revived, Qian Xuesen, as an excellent foreign Chinese immediately responded to the call of the motherland, had no regard for the high salaries of foreign countries, and resolutely decided to serve the motherland. "I am personally only a drop in the ocean, and the real great ones are the party and the people and our country." Qian Xuesen's pure patriotic heart is still touching even now.
In modern times, many scientific researchers have committed academic fraud, ranging from ghostwriting for college students' graduation papers to professors committing favoritism and fraud. Some time ago, the "Zhai Tianlin Ignorant Network" incident that triggered a heated discussion on the whole network has exposed the ugly side of the academic community's fraud, the academic community should be the purest, and the scholars should be rich in ideals, rather than for their own selfish desires, using academia as a tool for pure profit.
Although we cannot demand that everyone only care about ideals and ignore interests, only scholars with faith can seek real breakthroughs in academic research, and those who are academic for profit can only become businessmen.
It was difficult to return to China for hard research
"As a Chinese science and technology worker, the purpose of my life is to serve the people. If the people end up expressing satisfaction with the work I have done all my life, that is the highest reward. ”
As a scientific and technological worker, Qian Xuesen's highest ideal is to serve the people, so when he heard the call of the motherland, he immediately prepared to return to China, but the road back to China was not easy.
When Qian Xuesen was preparing to return to China, he was immediately controlled by the US government, restricting Qian Xuesen's freedom and even preventing him from contacting the outside world. Under the continuous efforts of the motherland and Qian Xuesen personally, the United States agreed to Qian Xuesen's return to China under extremely harsh conditions: no literature was allowed.
Qian Xuesen returned to the motherland empty-handed, but this was not difficult for Qian Xuesen, because those advanced formulas and algorithms had long been deeply imprinted in his mind.
After returning to China, Qian Xuesen immediately threw himself into arduous scientific research work, at that time there was not even a decent laboratory, the simple experimental conditions did not hinder Qian Xuesen's scientific research courses, he relied on his solid knowledge and amazing perseverance, led a group of patriotic scientists to break through the foreign technology blockade, and opened up a new and sweaty road for China's aerospace industry.
The missile exploded in the Gobi, bursting with huge energy, the satellite cut through the sky, carrying the hope of the Chinese people, and The long-sleeping lion of China finally woke up.
"Patriotism has always been the main theme of excitement and a powerful force that inspires the people of all ethnic groups in our country to make unremitting efforts to improve themselves.", patriotism has always been the spiritual force that unites the Chinese nation strongly.
Chinese has always been a moderate, and many foreigners who do not understand Chinese culture will think that why such a moderate country always bursts out of the amazing strength of unity when foreign enemies invade, and the core of this power is actually patriotism.
Whether it is the arduous victory of the "War of Resistance Against Japan" or the "Wenchuan Earthquake" to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief, to the "new crown epidemic" in the past few months, the whole country has united, and our Chinese sons and daughters can always twist into a rope in the face of major disasters and calamities, because we all have a patriotic heart.
In foreign countries, where the pandemic has been raging for months, there is still a debate about whether to wear a mask or not, and one cannot help but reflect on whether such freedom is just a means for egoists to rule the ruled.
Solemn funeral: Sending off thousands of people before the party flag is covered with a coffin
"My career is in China, my achievements are in China, and my destination is in China." In the fall of 2009, the exemplary figure died in Beijing. He said, "A Marxist will never fail to love the people, never be unpatriotic." The party flag draped over Qian Xuesen's coffin is the party's affirmation of this outstanding Marxist; the honor guard of the three services carrying the coffin for him is the praise of the state for his patriotic heart.
The sky of Beijing floated with goose feathers and snow, paving the way for this great man who dedicated his life to the country and sending him off.
"Two bombs and one star, the world was born in a stunning world, the people are proud; the backbone of the nation, the wind and snow are intertwined, the country can be safe" People from all walks of life have come to mourn Mr. Qian Xuesen, and even the masses who came spontaneously.
brief summary:
Mr. Qian Xuesen is not only an outstanding scientist, but also a patriot. When national interests and personal interests clashed, he chose the state. Mr. Qian Xuesen is an intellectual who truly cares about his homeland and uses his knowledge and strength to build the country.
When the snow fell in the winter in Beijing, Mr. Qian Xuesen recalled his life: studying abroad, studying hard for a doctorate, returning to China with difficulty, building a country... He should have no regrets, after all, his career is in China, his achievements are in China, his destination is also in China, he has fulfilled his wish, and everyone has spontaneously admired this father of spaceflight.
