"So-and-so male star and a woman dating were photographed", "So-and-so actress plastic surgery failed, stiff expression", "So-and-so male and female celebrities divorced, exposing each other's ugly things"... No matter what day, which time to open the phone, there is definitely news about celebrities or Internet celebrities, their names are widely circulated, and their stories become everyone's after-dinner talk, as if they are everyone's friends.
But today, I would like to introduce you to a person who you may never have heard of, or have heard the name and forgotten what he is doing, this person who guards China with his own body, was even used as a beggar by the doorman, his name is Zhao Zhongyao.
In 1937, the Outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army quickly occupied Peiping, and pursued the "Three Lights Policy", doing no evil along the way, burning and looting, and the people of Beiping had to leave their homes. The most heinous thing is their attitude toward knowledge; the Japanese rushed into Tsinghua, Peking University, and other schools, burned all the precious books and instruments, and the intellectuals in our country wept bitterly, but had to flee for their lives first.
However, at this time, Zhao Zhongyao did not even pack his luggage, he hurriedly ran to the home of his colleague Mr. Liang Sicheng, begging him to drive himself to Tsinghua Garden, he had very important things left in the laboratory, must be taken away, you must know that at this time to drive out of the city, there is a good chance that the Japanese soldiers will be arrested.
But Mr. Liang Sicheng did not hesitate, did not ask him what he had left, and immediately drove him to Tsinghua, and this colleague dared to return to Tsinghua under such circumstances, which was definitely a very important thing, and there was no need to ask at all.
The two secretly bypassed the Japanese guard post and sneaked into tsinghua garden, Liang Sicheng opened the door, Zhao Zhongyao entered the laboratory alone, and soon came out in a hurry with a bucket, the two quickly got into the car to leave, and then said goodbye.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao had not yet packed his bags, but did not know where to get a jar of pickles, and then carefully put the lead bucket taken out of the laboratory into it, and then simply packed up his things and left. To tell the truth, the kimchi jar with lead bucket is really heavy, definitely not something that should be brought with you to escape, for it, Zhao Zhongyao threw away his luggage on the road, and he also had to carry it away.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao held the kimchi jar alone for more than 2 months, ate and slept in the wind, and finally came to the "temporary Tsinghua University" in Changsha, where the once personable Professor of Tsinghua University became a stinking and ragged "beggar", standing at the door of the "Temporary Tsinghua University", Zhao Zhongyao almost shed tears.
Excited, he rushed to the doorman and said, "I want to see Principal Mei!" Get me in! When the doorman looked at Zhao Zhongyao's image, he thought he was a mentally abnormal person, and told him to hurry up, Zhao Zhongyao hugged the kimchi jar tightly and shouted: "I want to see Principal Mei!" Coincidentally, Principal Mei Yiqi happened to be coming from not far away, and Zhao Zhongyao pushed away the doorman and rushed to him.
Then I cried! Mei Yiqi was horrified, quickly helped him up, looked at it for half a day to find that it was Teacher Zhao Zhongyao, hurriedly took him to his office, gave him a cup of hot water, and Zhao Zhongyao, whose mouth was dry and cracked, did not drink water first, but carefully put the kimchi jar on the desk, suddenly collapsed on the ground, sighed: "Now I can finally sleep peacefully..."
Later, people learned that there was 50 mg radium in this kimchi jar!
Radium, an element with extremely high radioactivity, was discovered by Marie Curie, whose appearance directly triggered a revolution in the scientific community, and both the Curies won the Nobel Prize in Physics at the time, but due to the long period of exposure to radium rays, Marie Curie also died because of it. Radium is of great significance to all of humanity, it can help treat cancer, and it is also one of the materials of the atomic bomb.
Time to go back to 1931, Zhao Zhongyao in the United Kingdom Cambridge University further study, and the father of nuclear physics Ernest Rutherford acquaintance, the two talked very happily, so Zhao Zhongyao returned to China, Rutherford gave him 50 mg radium as a gift, that is, the radium in this kimchi jar, if they fell into the hands of the Japanese, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Mr. Zhao Zhongyao guarded radium with his own body, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he presided over the construction of China's first and second proton electrostatic accelerators, which made great contributions to China's nuclear physics research, Deng Jiaxian, Qian Sanqiang, Zhu Guangya are all students of Mr. Zhao Zhongyao, I think, "Zhao Zhongyao" These 3 words, worth remembering Chinese, what do you think?
