The United States invited Qian Xuesen to visit the United States, and Qian put forward a condition, which frightened the United States from mentioning this matter again
Speaking of well-known Chinese scientists, we have to mention Qian Xuesen. As a veteran figure in the research and development of China's missiles and atomic bombs, Qian Xuesen has made great contributions to the history of China's missile development. Once, Qian Xuesen was invited by Americans to visit the United States, but Qian Xuesen made a request. I don't know what conditions Qian Xuesen proposed? It frightened the United States so much that it did not dare to mention it.
For Qian Xuesen, we all had more or less understanding. Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai in 1911, with his ancestral home in Lin'an City, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. In September 1923, Qian Xuesen entered the Affiliated Middle School of Beijing Normal University.
In 1929, Qian Xuesen was admitted to the Department of Railway Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering, Shanghai School of Jiaotong University, Ministry of Railways. In 1934, Qian Xuesen graduated from the then National Jiaotong University, and after that, Qian Xuesen was admitted to the seventh batch of Tsinghua University's Gengbu students to study in the United States.
Qian Xuesen has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, he not only obtained a doctorate in the United States, but also became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 36, and achieved extremely high scientific achievements. It can be said that Qian Xuesen is not only an outstanding talent in China, but also an outstanding talent in all countries in the world.
The Americans cultivated his best treatment, and his economic treatment or living conditions in the United States are very rich, but Qian Xuesen is concerned about the motherland and always thinks that one day he can return to the embrace of the motherland and serve his country.
As we all know, after Qian Xuesen returned to China, he never went to the United States again. After China's reform and opening up, Sino-US relations gradually resumed, exchanges between China and the United States increased, and world-famous scientists like Qian Xuesen also had more opportunities to be invited to visit abroad.
The United States has also invited Mr. Qian Xuesen to visit the United States many times, but Qian Xuesen has refused. After that, Qian Xuesen even put forward a condition that made the United States completely dead. What exactly did Qian Xuesen say? How powerful is it?
Mr. Qian Xuesen's previous experience in the United States was very wealthy in terms of economic treatment and living conditions. At that time, Qian Xuesen always had his heart set on the motherland and hoped that one day he would be able to return to the embrace of the motherland and serve his country. However, Mr. Qian Xuesen's road back to China was very difficult, and he was obstructed by the United States.
Qian Xuesen was arrested by the United States and imprisoned for education, and was released on bail after two weeks. Although Qian Xuesen's achievements and reputation are not as good as they are now, they are also famous.
The United States said that Qian Xuesen is a very rare talent, "one Qian Xuesen is equal to five Marine divisions," and also said that he knows the core secrets of the US missile project, so no matter what, they will certainly not let him return to China.
Later, Qian Xuesen finally returned to the land of the motherland after many hardships. After that, Qian Xuesen threw himself wholeheartedly into China's scientific construction.
As Qian Xuesen made greater and greater achievements, Americans renewed their invitation to Qian Xuesen, hoping that he would visit the United States. In this regard, Qian Xuesen only put forward one condition: The US government must publicly apologize for his expulsion from the country that year. As soon as the conditions came out, the Americans never mentioned Qian Xuesen's visit to the United States again.
Qian Xuesen is not only a scientist engaged in scientific research, but also a countryman with patriotic feelings. When the country needed it, he rushed back to the motherland, paying no attention to the threats and temptations around him. Therefore, we have to admire Qian Xuesen's patriotic feelings.
