In the long course of human history, truth is difficult to be discovered because it is as heavy as gold and always sinks to the bottom of the river; on the contrary, the fallacies that are as light as cow dung float on it and flood everywhere. - Bacon
Qian Xuesen is a well-known patriotic scientist, also known as the "father of China's aerospace" and the "father of rockets". Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai, and then studied in the United States, realized that only the development of science and technology can promote the progress of the country, so he resolutely returned to China after completing his studies, and the result was that because he was too good, the United States was unwilling to put such talents back to China, and he wanted to keep him at the same time, and finally Qian Xuesen went through hardships and returned to the embrace of the motherland.
So qian Xuesen, who is so excellent, what kind of son is he raising? Qian Xuesen's son, Named Qian Yonggang, was born in the United States in 1948. In 1949, the news of the founding of New China reached Qian Xuesen's ears, and Qian Xuesen desperately wanted to return to China to contribute to the motherland and participate in the construction of New China, but for some reasons, it was not until 1955 that he embarked on the way back to China.
At that time, Qian Yonggang was still very young, only about 7 years old, and he only knew that he was going to follow his father from the place of his birth to a strange country called the motherland. At that time, he could not speak Chinese, but the child's language learning ability was strong, and it would not be long before he returned to China, he could speak fluently Chinese.
Many people will feel in their minds that there are famous elders in the family, then the children will definitely live well, in fact, not all of them, many children will even because the aura of their parents is too strong, so they are ignored by others to make their own efforts, it can be said that in addition to being educated by Qian Xuesen, Qian Yonggang did not get any benefits because of his father in the process of growing up.
Qian Yonggang knew that his father was an excellent person, so he studied his own, afraid of embarrassing Qian Xuesen. From a young age, Qian Xuesen taught his son to be strict with himself and be lenient with others, and although Qian Xuesen grew up in China, he had his own set of methods for educating his children, and did not force him to study to death.
Qian Yonggang's grades were not good when he was a child, and Qian Xuesen never blamed him for this, but only encouraged his son to face it positively and find his own interests and hobbies in the wide world, not necessarily sticking to the road of reading. Qian Yonggang, who was raised by Qian Xuesen in this way, has a very strong ability to resist pressure and can face everything positively and optimistically.
When Qian Yonggang was about to graduate from junior high school, he began to exercise in China in 1966, and the situation was very chaotic. Qian Yonggang stayed in high school for a few days, and realized that this road seemed to be impossible. So he went home to discuss with Qian Xuesen, saying that he did not want to study, wanted to join the army as a soldier, Qian Xuesen did not oppose him, just patted him on the shoulder, let him do what he wanted, young people are to bravely break through.
But Qian Xuesen did not provide Qian Yonggang with any convenience, one is that he was not happy to do so at that time, if Qian Xuesen wanted to help his son, he would have arranged it for him a long time ago; second, Qian Yonggang himself was not willing to live under his father's aura, coupled with the particularity of the times, Qian Xuesen would more or less be criticized by the outside world, saying that he was not allowed to let others know about this relationship, but would wear colored glasses when getting along with him.
At that time, people with a little culture had a more difficult life, Qian Yonggang was no exception, but in the end he still became a party member with his own efforts, and then in 1977, he resumed the college entrance examination, Qian Yonggang still wanted to try his best, and after explaining the situation with the leader, the leader approved it, and finally Qian Yonggang lived up to expectations and worked hard to get into the university, that year, he was almost 30 years old.
Later, Qian Yonggang studied for a master's degree all the way and went to the California Institute of Technology for further study. In the early years, he thought that he would no longer have a fate with the academic road, but with his own efforts, he came to this road again, although he experienced ups and downs, but the big instrument was late. Today, Qian Yonggang works in the field of computing, is a senior engineer in the field, and also serves as a visiting professor at several universities.
