When Qian Xuesen learned that New China had been founded, he wanted to return to the motherland despite difficulties and obstacles, and such a patriotic spirit really made us sigh. But some people will say that it may be that the American side has treated him badly, so he wants to return to China, but I want to say that they are all wrong.
At that time, a general in the United States commented on Qian Xuesen's return to China: "We absolutely cannot allow Qian Xuesen to return to China, and the value of a Qian Xuesen is not comparable to that of two mechanized divisions!" "From this we can see Qian Xuesen's value to the United States, such a high-value talent, you say the United States will give him poor treatment?" Think with the fingers of your feet that it is impossible! In fact, in the United States, Qian Xuesen is already a well-known and meritorious aerodynamics expert in the American scientific research community, and Qian Xuesen, who has just graduated from college, has been hired as a professor of the corresponding major by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, with an annual salary of up to 25,000 US dollars.
That doesn't seem like much now, but think about what was the concept of twenty-five thousand dollars in 1949? Ten thousand yuan households are considered to be local tycoons, earning almost 100,000 yuan a year, which can be a rich man in China. And Qian Xuesen's annual salary has increased later, Qian Xuesen because of his excellent scientific research ability, was transferred to the United States confidential working group, there are 100,000 US dollars in bonuses every year, such treatment, can it be said that the United States is bad for him? inexistent! However, even with such a high treatment, Qian Xuesen is willing to return to the motherland and is willing to help build the motherland. Isn't that great enough?
After Qian Xuesen returned to China, he really lived up to what the American general said, and he also exceeded the evaluation of the American general. After Qian Xuesen returned to China, the US side was greatly shocked and spread rumors to let the country not appoint him, but unfortunately the eyes of the masses were shining, everyone knew Qian Xuesen's personality, and everyone also knew Qian Xuesen's greatness. So Qian Xuesen was reused by the motherland.
