What is the belief that Marie Curie is so famous? What are the untold stories and hardships?

Marie Curie, whose original name was Marie Skovodowska, was born in Poland on November 7, 1867, and changed her name to Marie after marrying Pierre Curie. Curie, two radioactive elements discovered in 1898, Radium 88 and 84, of which Number 84 – Marie Curie suggested naming polonium for her native Poland. The name change and the naming of the new element of No. 84 all reflect her home and country feelings!

In 1906, Marie Curie's husband Pierre Curie was killed in a car accident, leaving the 39-year-old Marie Curie alone, and after Pierre Curie's death, her husband's student Lang Zhiwan became Marie's good friend and reliable scientific worker. In Mary's most difficult time, it was Lang Zhiwan who helped her step by step. The two people have been together for a long time, and friendship has slowly become love. The paper wrapped in fire could not hold the fire, Lang Zhiwan's wife found the love letter between the two of them, published it, Lang Zhiwan returned to the family, leaving her alone to undertake the French people to smash her house and give her the name of "thief thief" and "Polish slut". This is not enough, and one person needs to bear the blow of scientists joining forces to get him out of the French scientific community, and in the most difficult moment, he is forced to take refuge in a hospital opened by a nun. No one else had anything to lose.

In 1914, when the First World War broke out, in the face of the French people and the scientific community that treated her in this way, she bought all the Nobel Prizes for French government bonds, closed the newly opened radium laboratory, began to study X-rays, gave up radium-related patents, persuaded relatives and friends to donate materials, organized 150 women to form a convoy, persuaded the government X-rays to be of great help to check shrapnel, risked her life to go to the front line, let her daughter also go to the front line of the war to be responsible for X-rays, and began to collect radioactive gas radon and make hollow needles. She was happier than any other Frenchman to disinfect tissue infections until the end of World War I in 1918, with the French flag hanging on a medical cart.

During this period, her research on X-rays saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but Marie Curie came to the end of her life because she had worked in a radioactive environment for a long time and suffered from malignant leukemia in 1934. The equipment she has used, the clothes she wears, etc., people wear protective clothing before they dare to touch it! After her death, the French government gave her a medal, and finally no one cared about her private life anymore, and she was in awe of her dedication to science and selfless dedication! Marie Curie is the only scientist who has not been spoiled by the prestigious Nobel Prize!

Whether it is the invention after marrying her husband named "polonium"; or a person does not want the state pension to support two children; or what she did in the face of love, or the desperate dedication after the outbreak of war, all reveal the greatness of her personality, the selflessness, tolerance, tenacity of love, the effort and struggle for women to correct their names, so that the two Nobel Prizes are truly deserved, showing the hardship and greatness of women's science!
