"If I can regenerate after the end of my life, then I still choose China, choose the nuclear industry." This was the last thing Deng Jiaxian said to his wife Xu Luxi when he died. On July 29, 1986, Deng Jiaxian, the founder of the two bombs, passed away. He has paid all his efforts for China's two bombs and one star, and even gave up his family, which is indispensable to the silent support and understanding of his wife Xu Luxi.
Shortly after the founding of New China, in the face of the political and economic blockade of China by European and American countries, China's international status has always been in an awkward position, in order to let the Chinese really stand up, the chairman and others decided to start developing atomic bombs. In the competition of various countries, nuclear weapons have always been a very important bottom card, with this trump card China will be more confident, but under the circumstances of the time, the development of atomic bombs is very difficult, one of the most important figures is Deng Jiaxian.
In 1958, the fifth year of Deng Jiaxian's marriage to Xu Luxi, Xu Luxi suddenly found that the lover he had spent with him day and night had changed: his whereabouts had become erratic, and even when he returned to his own home, he had to sneak around for fear that others would find out, and when he got home, he locked himself in his room without saying a word.
What made Xu Luxi even more unexpected was that a few days later, Deng Jiaxian suddenly said to his wife, "I'm going to transfer away." Xu Luxi hurriedly asked, "Where to go?" Deng Jiaxian only replied with three words: "Can't say." Then his wife interrogated him repeatedly, and Deng Jiaxian replied with only three words. But Xu Luxi believed that her husband must have his own reasons and plans, so she chose to wait, but she did not know that this wait was 28 years.
After arriving at the work site, Deng Jia immediately threw himself into scientific research, and was the first to rush to the front when he encountered danger. In a test in 1979, the nuclear bomb dropped by the plane fell directly from a high altitude because the parachute was not opened. He went alone to survey the situation without anyone being accompanied, and it was in this accident that he received severe nuclear radiation, but he still worked selflessly. Until 1986, Deng Jiaxian was caused by large-scale blood leakage due to nuclear radiation throughout his body, which had reached the point where it was impossible to treat.
When Xu Luxi finally saw her husband, Deng Jiaxian was already lying on the hospital bed with cancer. Xu Luxi finally learned in the newspaper the reason why her husband ran away over the years, and it turned out that behind her husband's desperate love for himself, there were these unspeakable secrets. All this happened too suddenly, and she sat quietly with the newspaper in her hand, and at this moment she understood her husband's good intentions.
In her last year of caring for her husband, she couldn't help but reminisce about 28 years ago. Thinking back to the appearance of my husband who was young and strong and full of vigor many years ago, how could he be so skinny now? I will also think of the scene where the husband happily carried his young son on his shoulder and dragged his daughter around the yard in his hand. Now she is left alone to accompany her two children to grow up.
In traditional Chinese thought, men are recognized as the key figures in a family. In Xu Luxi's life, her beloved husband did not accompany her for long to die, from a female point of view, Deng Jia first owed Xu Luxi a good future. But it is Mr. Deng Jiaxian's unreserved dedication to the national cause and the sacrifice and dedication of his wife Xu Luxi that have made China now more confident to move to the center of the world stage. We will always miss this pioneer and founder of the development of our nuclear weapons.
