On the road of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, many outstanding figures have emerged, and Qian Xuesen is the father of missiles that people can never forget, because Qian Xuesen has accelerated China's missile research work and aerospace development for several decades, and has also made outstanding contributions to the revitalization of China. For Qian Xuesen, he not only has a deep attachment to his homeland, but also hopes to do his best to help the country embark on the road of great prosperity and strength, and he once said that there is a country that would rather die than go again, and a sentence he said before his death is even more surprising to people.
In Qian Xuesen's heart, what was hidden, so that he could not let go until his death.
For Chinese, the name Qian Xuesen has long been deeply engraved in the mind, from the time of school people have heard a lot about Qian Xuesen's deeds, his contribution to scientific research can not be ignored, Qian Xuesen's name is always associated with Chinese missiles, Chinese aerospace, and thus doomed Qian Xuesen's distinctive life.
In fact, Qian Xuesen's origin is good, people may only know that he is a scientific genius, but they do not know that he is the future grandson of Qian Hao, the king of Wuyue. Qian Xuesen was born in 1911, in the Qian family, not only appeared Qian Xuesen, a well-known big figure, in fact, Qian Zhongshu, Qian Sanqiang and Qian Yongjian are all members of the same family, they all laid the foundation for China's development, and are also important figures that cannot be forgotten in the history of China's development.
Qian Xuesen was very smart from an early age, and he was later admitted to Shanghai National Jiaotong University, when Qian Xuesen effortlessly became a scholar. At this time, China actually had a huge gap with foreign countries in the field of aerospace, and Qian Xuesen at this time was still unable to contribute to the country, but the fate had a clever arrangement.
Because of Qian Xuesen's excellent academic performance, he was later selected as an international student of Gengzi's compensation, and at that time, only twenty international students in the country were eligible to study in the United States, and Qian Xuesen was one of them. Qian Xuesen's experience on this trip is actually laying the foundation for China's development, and more importantly, Qian Xuesen has never forgotten his attachment to his homeland, and has also taken serving the motherland as the main goal of this trip.
When he first came to the United States, Qian Xuesen was discriminated against and ostracized, which was something that Chinese people in the United States would experience at that time, but Qian Xuesen was not affected in the slightest, because he was determined to speak with his own strength. After Qian Xuesen entered the Department of Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his grades were very impressive, and he was better than many American students. But even so, Qian Xuesen's good grades have still become the object of ridicule by the Americans, because in their eyes, Chinese may only learn, and they will be far from each other in practice.
Later, Qian Xuesen's various performances made these Americans who looked down on Chinese slap their faces again, and he later won the recognition of the famous American scientist Von Kamen and became his proud protégé, from then on, everyone would be very respectful when they saw Qian Xuesen, and Qian Xuesen also used his ability to be respected in the United States, and this was only the first step.
At the age of twenty-five, Qian Xuesen had become one of the important members of the American rocket research team, which had only five people at that time, and Qian Xuesen, as a Chinese, could enter this research project, which was itself a recognition of Qian Xuesen's personal ability. In this way, by the time Qian Xuesen was thirty-five years old, he had become a tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and it was the only case in MIT that someone as young as he could receive such an honor.
In 1947, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying met again, in fact, the two got along when they were young, because Jiang Ying had been passed on to the Qian family, fortunately, at that time Qian Xuesen did not show too much enthusiasm for the girl who had succeeded him, so Jiang Ying was later sent back home, otherwise Jiang Ying might become Qian Xuesen's sister and not have the opportunity to become his wife.
When we met again, Qian Xuesen was already a scientist with great achievements, and Jiang Ying had become a high-profile singer in the music world. This time, Qian Xuesen decided to spend his life with Jiang Ying from now on, and the two soon walked into the wedding hall, and then Jiang Ying followed Qian Xuesen to live in the United States.
At that time, Qian Xuesen's income in the United States was very high, he could have a high income of 100,000 US dollars a year, and this income level was thirty times the income of ordinary people in the United States at that time, as long as Qian Xuesen wanted, he could buy a luxury house and a luxury car in the United States, and he could also live a very arbitrary life. However, in Qian Xuesen's mind, he has never been able to give up his attachment to the motherland, and Qian Xuesen's eyes can never be compared with the country.
In 1949, Qian Xuesen was bent on returning to China, hoping to use his studies to serve the country and revitalize China's development. However, at this time, Qian Xuesen suffered a huge setback in his life, because at that time, the United States did not let Qian Xuesen return to China, and constantly tortured Qian Xuesen.
At that time, the US side imprisoned Qian Xuesen in a prison on a small island, and they suspected that Qian Xuesen had revealed important secrets of the United States, so they kept interrogating him. At that time, Qian Xuesen could not sleep, because there was a special person to watch over him, but also responsible for torturing him, if he found that Qian Xuesen was asleep, he would immediately wake him up in various ways, and then continue to interrogate him.
After thirteen days of painful torture, Qian Xuesen's skinny skin and bones were allowed, and fortunately, Jiang Yingtuo was looking for a relationship at that time, and qian Xuesen was released from prison on bail. However, the US side still controls Qian Xuesen's whereabouts, and his family has also suffered mental torture, but Qian Xuesen has never given up the idea of returning to China.
After five years of consultation and negotiation, with the efforts of the motherland, Qian Xuesen finally embarked on the road back to China. At that time, the US side insisted on not having Qian Xuesen return to China, also because they recognized the value of Qian Xuesen and believed that Qian Xuesen alone could top the military strength of five divisions. However, in Qian Xuesen's view, if his talents and abilities are not used for the country, that is his lifelong regret.
After returning to China, Qian Xuesen has been committed to missile research, and in 1960, he successfully developed the first missile and successfully launched it. In this way, Qian Xuesen has devoted fifty years of painstaking efforts to China's missile research work, and he has studied day and night, and everything is to repay this hot land that he loves deeply. Qian Xuesen also said more than once that he never wanted to return to the United States in this life, and although he could live a rich life in the United States, none of this could be compared with the motherland.
No matter how the times develop and progress, we must not forget the great contributions that Qian Xuesen has made to the motherland, as a Chinese, we must always remember and learn from Qian Xuesen's patriotic feelings.
Before qian Xuesen died in 2009, he expressed the concern he had been thinking about for decades: China's future development.
Qian Xuesen has passed away, but his spirit will live on forever and will always be remembered by people.
