Qian Xuesen, the father of China's missiles and China's aerospace industry, put forward China's first twelve-year scientific and technological plan, laying the foundation for the development of most scientific research fields in New China and pointing out the direction. The importance of Qian Xuesen to China and the importance that China attaches to Qian Xuesen can be intuitively seen from the identity of the two bodyguards around Qian Xuesen.
Personal bodyguard Diao Jiubo
After Qian Xuesen returned to China, he had a total of two "personal bodyguards", one named Diao Jiubo and one named Duan Enrun. Diao Jiubo was a veteran who retired from the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, from 1960 when he served as the secretary general of the guard around Qian Xuesen to 1975 when he was transferred from Qian Xuesen's side. Before becoming Qian Xuesen's personal bodyguard, Diao Jiubo served for a long time as the secretary of the central guard, a position called the Great Inner Guard in ancient times.
The reason why Diao Jiubo was sent to Qian Xuesen's side was mainly because of the hostility between China and the Soviet Union. By 1960, relations between the mainland and the Soviet Union had deteriorated markedly. And Qian Xuesen is an internationally renowned scientist, he is not only the father of China's aerospace and missiles, but also the father of American spaceflight and missiles, but also planned the United States jet fighter system, and 4 other scientists established the predecessor of NASA.
At that time, China was well aware of the power of the Soviet KGB, so it attached great importance to Qian Xuesen's safety. To this end, the mainland changed Qian Xuesen's residence and travel car, and also arranged Diao Jiubo at Qian Xuesen's side, and since then Qian Xuesen has changed from a guard secretary to a guard secretary who protects the central authorities to a guard secretary general for Qian Xuesen.
Diao Jiubo worked as a personal bodyguard around Qian Xuesen for 15 years, during which he not only had to protect the safety of Qian Xuesen's family, but also had to help Qian Xuesen's family manage its revenue and expenditure, so the Qian family jokingly called Diao Jiubo a "big housekeeper". In the past 15 years, because of the existence of Diao Jiubo, Qian Xuesen's family has been very well protected.
Food inspector Duan Enrun
Qian Xuesen's second bodyguard, Duan Enrun, was Qian Xuesen's food inspector. Duan Enrun is also a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but Duan Enrun is not a frontline soldier, but a nurse. He worked as a nurse in North Korea in 1951 and remained a nurse for nine years, only to start studying laboratories in 1959 and becoming a laboratory technician.
In 1964, an overseas drug murder case against Qian Xuesen began. Fortunately, this conspiracy did not succeed in the end, and the mainland top level also realized the sinister intentions of some forces after this incident. In order to hinder the development of scientific research in China, these people have done everything to the extreme. Therefore, in order to ensure the food safety of Qian Xuesen, Duan Enrun was transferred to Qian Xuesen's side in the same year to manage Qian Xuesen's food safety work.
After becoming Qian Xuesen's food inspector, Duan Enrun applied to his superiors to set up a food laboratory at the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense. After the establishment of this food laboratory, it began to protect Qian Xuesen's food safety at all times. Every dish in Qian Xuesen's home must not only be tested in advance, but also sampled and frozen in the refrigerator for 24 hours to prevent unexpected situations. Under this strict protection, Qian Xuesen's family has never had food safety problems. Seeing the degree of refinement of the state to Qian Xuesen, everyone can also appreciate how indispensable Qian Xuesen is.
