Kissinger said in "On China": "There is always a group of brave Chinese stand up to protect the Chinese in times of national crisis. "Every time I see this sentence, I will be very moved, when the country is in danger, when the country needs talents, there are always a large number of excellent people emerging, who dedicate their youth, sweat and do not ask for returns.
Deng Jiaxian was such a predecessor, he was bold and loyal, and although his torso was long-lived, his spirit was immortal.
In 1924, Deng Jiaxian was born, he was a native of Huaining County, Anhui Province, and his name was: Hezhi Xiushi, and in the wild it was known as "Jia". "Harvest" is the grass that has already shown its ears and fruits in the field, so it is called "Harvest First". His father, Deng Yijing, a professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University, once said that he gave his son the hope that he would be rooted in the land of China, and that he would show and mature in the land of China early, and become one of the vicissitudes of the sea that benefited the people.
In 1929, just after turning 5 years old, he entered the Wudinghou Primary School in Beijing, and under the influence of his father, he was intelligent and studious from an early age.
And Deng Yijing has a good friend, he is Yang Wuzhi, the two are both colleagues and fellow countrymen, so they have close contacts, and Yang Wuzhi has a son born in 1922, one after another, the two children quickly became friends, this two-year-older child is Yang Zhenning.
Later, they went to middle school together, Deng Jiaxian had good grades, but Yang Zhenning's grades were very good, so the big brother began to tutor him in his homework.
Later, the two entered the Southwest Union University to study, Yang Zhenning's talents in mathematics and physics were put into play, Yang Zhenning was worried that Deng Jiaxian would be too anxious, so he often continued to guide him in his spare time, Deng Jiaxian once said: "Brother Zhenning is my extracurricular tutor." ”
The two worked together to make progress together, and both made a vow to serve the motherland. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wu Dayu, a professor in the Department of Physics of Southwest Union University, received a grant to take several students to the United States to study advanced knowledge related to the atomic bomb, including Yang Zhenning.
During his studies, he earned a doctorate in philosophy, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, and then became an American citizen.
Deng Jia was happy to know it first, but his previous vows could not be fulfilled. In 1948, Deng Jia first went to the United States to study, and the two could continue to live in a dormitory. In the summer of 1950, Deng Jia first received a doctorate and then broke through the obstacles to return to the motherland, after which Deng Jiaxian became very busy, and the connection between the two slowly broke.
Deng Jiaxian is an assistant researcher at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, engaged in the study of nuclear theory as for Deng Jiaxian's secret work. His wife, Xu Luxi, is a teacher at Beijing Medical College, and the two are qinser and ming, and they respect each other as guests. But one day Deng Jiaxian suddenly told his wife that he wanted to transfer, and he couldn't say where he was going, couldn't say the work content, and couldn't keep the contact information. The two separated in this way, Xu Luxi thought that it would be at most a year, but he did not expect to wait for 28 years.
I like you, like grass staining green ridges, there is no doubt about it; I like you, like the wind that has gone eight thousand miles, regardless of the return date.
Deng Jiaxian and other experts studied the site of Jinyintan in Qinghai, and the location of the explosion experiment was Lop Nur. Although the terrain of Jinyintan is open, its altitude is high, which is not suitable for long-term residence at all, and it is quite difficult to survive. And when it comes to Lop Nur, people will think of desolation, according to the old comrades at that time, the water quality there is very poor, and every time after taking a bath, there will be white flowers and alkali left on the body. Individual people with allergies will also grow a rash on their bodies. And most people will have bloating and diarrhea after drinking the water there, and life in the desert is so boring and difficult that it is difficult to imagine how people can persevere in such an environment.
The time of the development of the atomic bomb was a difficult period for the country, many scientific researchers could not eat enough, many people had edema disease, swollen shoes and insisted on going barefoot.
Here, patriotism is the spiritual pillar of people, but also the source of people's motivation, everything for the sake of national prestige, military prestige, has become people's firm belief and consensus. In front of the tall derrick, they showed their hearts: abandoning their families and wives to go to the field area, knowing the most noble love; selfless dedication for experiments, and knowing the world's conditions.
In 1961, Deng Jiaxian and other scientific researchers bought parts on bicycles, made instruments by themselves, and successfully drew the basic model of the atomic bomb in three years, and after three years of field experiments, on October 16, 1964, the first atomic bomb was successfully exploded in western China, which was the fifth country in the world to possess nuclear weapons at that time.
Just two years and eight months later, China's first hydrogen bomb successfully exploded in the western desert, and China is the fastest country to develop atomic bombs.
Deng Jiaxian is still always struggling in the front line, and even had an accident during a nuclear test, the nuclear bomb did not explode and fell into the desert, he went to the desert alone without any protection to find fragments to analyze the problem, we are grateful for his dedication, but such behavior made him infected with serious nuclear radiation, suffered from rectal cancer, really regrettable.
When he was seriously ill, Yang Zhenning came from the United States after learning the news, saw his friend bleeding all over his body, and asked him with heartache: "How much money has the country given you, it is worth taking your life into it." ”
Deng Jia smiled after listening first, he held out two fingers and said, "Ten atomic bombs, ten hydrogen bombs." ”
Yang Zhenning did not believe it, saying that he would really joke, but someone explained to him that the state was short of funds, until 1985, the special prize for the atomic bomb was issued, the prize was ten thousand yuan, which was already a lot, but everyone in the unit had a share, and finally the institute advanced money, and only then was it issued according to the three levels of ten yuan, five yuan, and three yuan. Because Deng Jiaxian participated in the research and development of atomic and hydrogen bombs, he got the highest grade and received a total of twenty yuan in prize money
A person's faith is very terrible, as long as he is determined, no matter what difficult things can be overcome, no matter what setbacks are not big things. Deng Jiaxian's faith is patriotism, and he once said to his wife: "My life will be dedicated to the future work, and if I do this well, my life will be very meaningful, even if I die for it, it is worth it!" It can be seen that he has long had the idea of paying the price of his life for his cause, and such a great physicist with ability and unchanging patriotism is really admirable.
In 1964, China, which was in a difficult period, had the courage to bloom, and the mushroom cloud that bloomed magnificently on the Gobi Desert lifted the hearts of every Chinese and rewrote the history of China.
Deng Jiaxian died in Beijing on July 29, 1986, at the age of 62, and was posthumously awarded the "Two Bombs and One Star Meritorious Medal" in 1999. Zhang Aiping wrote such a sentence in the elegy: "The king regards fame and fortune as dung, Xu is mighty and mighty in the country, and his merits are in the world." ”
Before Deng Jiaxian died, his last words to his lover Xu Luxi were: "If there is an afterlife, I still have to choose China, choose the cause of nuclear weapons, and choose you!" "This is the most touching love story I have ever heard, it is said to my lover, and it is also said to the motherland.
The pillar of the country, the pride of the country, Elder Deng will always live in the hearts of the people.
