Du Xianghuan is one of the pioneers of the theory of nuclear test diagnosis in the mainland. He studied theoretical nuclear physics at the Moscow Institute of Engineering Physics, participated in the breakthrough and miniaturization of hydrogen bombs, and was the vice president of the China Academy of Engineering Physics. He and his predecessors, Deng Jiaxian, Zhou Guangzhao, Yu Min and others, worked in an institution in Beijing called "No. 3 Courtyard of Huayuan Road", the "Beijing Nine Institutes". These scientists who aspire to serve the country are here, doing earth-shattering things for the motherland's nuclear cause, and doing anonymous celebrities!" ”
Academician Du Xianghuan studied in the Department of Mathematical Mechanics of Peking University in his youth, and in 1959, under the active promotion of the famous physicist Qian Sanqiang, he went to the Soviet Union to study atomic energy, entered the former Moscow Institute of Engineering Physics to study atomic energy, and organizationally chose a theoretical nuclear physics major for him. The graduation coincided with the successful atomic bomb test in China. After seeing the news, Academician Du Xiangwan's foreign classmates said to him, "I know what you will do after you return to China." ”
He had a discussion with the mother of "Zoya and Shula"
After understanding the "mysterious" experience of Academician Du Xiangwan, you will know why he chose "The Story of Zoya and Shula" as the first work on the art list.
The author of the book, Liu Kosmojmiyanskaya, is the mother of Zoya and Shula's siblings, and she describes how Zoya and Shula grew up to be heroes of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, with sincere feelings and simple language. When Academician Du Xianghuan was studying in the Soviet Union, he once listened to a lecture by Liu Kosmoj Miyanskaya, as a mother and author, on the story of Zoya and Shula.
At that time, Zoya and Shula's sisters and brothers were sacrificed. Their lives are short, but they live a meaningful life. Zoya and Shula's mother came, and she was both painful and very comforting. Because her two children have touched so many young people. ”
The secret of the fathers in The Age of Awakening
The second work in Academician Du Xiangwan's art list is the popular TV series "The Age of Awakening" of the Central Radio and Television Corporation. Set against the backdrop of the May Fourth New Culture Movement, the play artistically recreates a period of surging years of pursuing truth and burning ideals performed by Chinese progressives and a group of enthusiastic young people a hundred years ago.
Du Xiangwan's father, Du Mengmo, graduated from Peking University, and there are often progressive novels for Du Xiangwan to read, which also develops his habit of loving reading and writing. As a young man, he did not understand the content of the great cause his father had been doing.
"Progressive youth, led by Li Dazhao, must continue to promote China's progress. It came out of New Youth magazine and influenced a group of people, including my father. Li Dazhao was the secretary of the first branch of the Peking University party branch, the second was Deng Zhongxia, and my father was the secretary of the ninth party branch. In 1927, he was in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University. These "secrets" Academician Du Xiangwan did not know at that time, until his father died, and the party flag was covered on his urn, he did not know his father's "underground party" identity.
"After the reform and opening up, a classmate of Peking University called me and said that the school had published a book, "Communists Fighting at Peking University", and said that there was your father in this book."
In the TV series "The Age of Awakening", the process of a generation of sacrifices and struggles for new China is recorded. In the view of Academician Du Xianghuan, this is also related to his own family history. And fate is so coincidental, Academician Du Xiangwan's early nuclear career also needs to be anonymized, the place where he works is a desert, even in Beijing, it is also a nameless courtyard in the mysterious sorghum field, even if the wife who works together does not know the specific content of his work. Today, the "Nine Institutes of Beijing" is still the building of the year, and the bronze statue of Mr. Deng Jiaxian sits on a bench in the courtyard, smiling as generations of scientists continue to contribute to the nuclear cause. The stories of scientists such as Zhou Guangzhao and Yu Min are also exhibited in the History Museum of the Academy, and Academician Du Xiangwan, who was flourishing at that time, also left images of youth struggle in the yellowed old photos.
These founders of "two bombs and one star" and the silent dedication of scientific workers should be pleased: today's prosperity is as you wish.
"Singing the Second Little Cowherd" - a song sung by three generations of the Du family
"Singing Two Little Cowherds" is a song written and sung by Fang Bing and composed and sung by Li Haofu, which was composed in 1942. In 2015, the song was selected as one of the "Top Ten Anti-War Songs" by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People's Republic of China.
The song was written in 1942 and has been sung for 80 years, and spiritual integrity and musical expression are indispensable. "Singing Two Little Cowherds" tells a story with lyrics in a narrative way, and describes a spirit with music, even if we live in peacetime, every time we hear this melody, we will still be moved by the moment. This song has been sung to this day, not only because of the great spirit of the War of Resistance, but also because it has spiritual encouragement for generations.
"Three generations of our family will sing this song, and the significance of it is that there is such a person, who has lived his life like this, so that the people behind him are now, to the son's generation, and the grandson's generation still remembers him." 」
"Some People" has always lived in people's hearts
"Some People" is one of the representative works of the famous writer Zang Kejia, and has been selected as a primary school Chinese textbook. When we recite the three words "some people", everyone can't help but recite them: some people are alive, he is dead; some people are dead, he is still alive...
This poem is a lyric poem written by contemporary poet and writer Mr. Zang Kejia to commemorate the thirteenth anniversary of Lu Xun's death. With highly condensed and summarized verses, the poet summed up two kinds of people, two life choices and two life destinations, praised Mr. Lu Xun's dedication to being a widow and a cow, and expressed his heartfelt praise for those who lived for the people.
"This is not only poetry, this is a poetic language, such a simple language, such a vivid language, tells us a outlook on life and a world view. Some people are dead, he is still alive, Wang Erxiao is dead, but he lives forever; Zoya and Shula are sacrificed, but they live forever. ”
The era of peace requires more spirit of struggle, and more need "some people" to continue to climb and work hard. Academician Du Xianghuan's life has undergone many career transformations, from nuclear to strong laser technology to energy strategy, each time with unlimited loyalty to the motherland and active exploration of the scientific spirit, "The pressure is indeed very great, what is the way?" The first is learning, and you have to learn."
Believing in "some people" will be forever remembered for their contributions to humanity, to science, to the country and to the people. And the story of "some people" will certainly be remembered and passed down by art, becoming the source and strength of the artistic spirit, which will last for eternity. This episode will air on January 20 at CCTV-3 at 20:57, so stay tuned.
