Gu Long has a saying: "There may be a wrong name in the world, but there is absolutely no wrong nickname." "Because the name was given by the parents when the child was born, it represents the parents' expectations of the child. The nickname is often taken according to the person's identity background or personality, and is often more appropriate to the overall image of the person. Once such a person, the son was nicknamed by a classmate, he changed to his original name, and later became famous all over the world.
Born in 1887, this nicknamed father, Qian Xuantong, studied at Waseda University in Japan and interacted with a group of advanced intellectuals such as Zhang Taiyan and Qiu Jin. He was a professor at Peking University and Beijing Normal University, and although he grew up in the feudal era, he was very radical in his thinking, hated the feudal system, and promoted new ideas.
His own marriage was an arranged marriage at home, but he was very kind to his wife, and he only married this one in his life. The two have a son named Qian Bingqiong. From the name, I know that I have high hopes, hoping that he will be able to soar into the sky when he grows up, which has the meaning of "hoping to become a dragon".
Qian Bingqiong lived up to his expectations, and when he was 7 years old, he came to Beijing with his father, who sent him to study at the Kongde School founded by Professors from Peking University such as Cai Yuanpei, Li Shizeng, and Shen Yinmo. Not only did he have good academic performance, but he was also the main basketball player in the class, so his classmates gave him a nickname called "Top Three".
Once, a classmate with a relatively thin system wrote to him, in which he called himself "Great Weakness" and called him "Bingqiong" at that time "Three Strong", which was originally a naughty joke among children, but was seen by Qian Xuantong, so he asked his son: Why do they call you Three Strong?
"He's called the top three because I'm the third oldest in the family, and I'm physically strong and athletic, so I'm called the top three."
Qian Xuan listened to the same and clapped his hands in applause. It can be said that Qian Bingqiong's characteristics are expressed to the fullest, and then Qian Xuantong said: I think the three strong can also be explained as: moral, intellectual, and physical three aspects of common progress. With good expectations and wishes for his children, Qian Xuantong decided to change the name of his son Qian Bingqiong to Qian Sanqiang. The name is familiar to many, right?
In 1929, with the support of his father, Qian Sanqiang was admitted to the preparatory department of Peking University, where he was taught by Professor Wu Youxun to study modern physics and Professor Sa Bendong's electromagnetics, laying a solid foundation of knowledge. After graduating from the preparatory department of Peking University, he went to Tsinghua University, and after graduating in 1936, he was recommended by Professor Wu Youxun to work as a research assistant at the Institute of Physics of Peking Research Institute.
In September 1937, at the recommendation of Yan Keats, he went to the Curie Laboratory of the Institute of Radium studies of the University of Paris to pursue a doctorate. After completing his studies, he returned to his homeland and successively served as a professor in the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University and the director of the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, he devoted himself to the pioneering cause of atomic energy and achieved many important results in nuclear physics research. In 1964, on the occasion of Qian Sanqiang's 51st birthday, China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully. Among them, Qian Sanqiang has indelible merits, and in 1967, the hydrogen bomb exploded successfully, and Qian Sanqiang became the founder of China's "two bombs and one star". Since then, he has become famous all over the world and has become a hero admired by all the Chinese people.
