In 1931, Tsinghua University welcomed 103 new students, including one Wuxi candidate, who was admitted with a double score of historical language. Unexpectedly, on the second day of admission, he applied to transfer to the physics department, and the teacher was shocked: "A science idiot who only scored 5 points in physics, 9 points in mathematics, and 11 points in chemistry, why make such a request?" ”
This person is Qian Weichang, a genius in the liberal arts, why did he suddenly change his department and study his weakest science? The reason is worth pondering!
At that time, his Chinese language and history scores were among the best candidates in the same period, and even if the science results were bad, he was finally admitted to Tsinghua University. However, no one expected that the day after being admitted, the outbreak of the September 18 Incident made Qian Weichang change his mind overnight.
When China was in the weak position of being bullied by the great powers, a powerful force pushed him to the road of abandoning literature, and he decided to study physics because he knew that if the country wanted to stand up, young people should have the ambition to learn science, learn to build tanks and cannons to save the country.
However, Wu Youxun, the head of the Physics Department, resolutely refused to allow him to change departments, because his science results were really too bad, but he really couldn't stand Qian Weichang's soft and hard bubbles, and finally he relaxed and proposed a condition: "First try to study in the Physics Department for one year, and the three main courses (chemistry, physics, and mathematics) must score more than 70 points." ”
Since then, in addition to eating and sleeping, Qian Weichang has devoted all his time and energy to physics and mathematics, and every morning at 5 o'clock to the science museum to endorse books, go to the toilet with books.... Four years later, he was one of 8 students who successfully graduated, and his grades were the best.
Then, like Qian Xuesen and others, he went abroad to study "Shiyi Long Technique to Control Yi", together with Qian Xuesen, Lin Jiaqiao, and Guo Yonghuai, under the guidance of Professor Feng Carmen, the father of missiles in the world, engaged in postdoctoral research in the field of aerospace, participated in rocket and missile experiments, and achieved outstanding results in the field of solid mechanics and fluid mechanics.
In July 1946, just when Qian Weichang's career in the United States was in full swing, he quietly returned to the motherland and engaged in scientific research under difficult conditions, making great contributions to the development of new China's scientific and technological undertakings.
He believes that as long as he can teach the advanced technology he learned from abroad to the next generation of Chinese, even if he is tired and tired, it is worth it.
Under his cooperation with other scientists, the scientific and technological development of New China has made a series of achievements, such as submarine keel design, aircraft flutter, chemical pipe plate design, large motor parts design, high-energy battery and many other application research. He has made outstanding contributions in many fields such as scientific and technological research and technology application, and is known as a "universal scientist".
Looking at Qian Weichang's achievements, all over science, politics, education and other professions, in this regard, his own statement is: "I have no profession, the needs of the motherland are my profession." ”
The years passed in a hurry, and on July 30, 2010, Qian Weichang, a generation of "scientific superstars" and the "father of mechanics" in modern China, died in Shanghai at the age of 98.
Looking back on his life, we have to say that the simple four words of "scientific power" have been implemented in the depths of Qian Weichang's soul.
Seeing this, we are both relieved and sad. How many chinese youth today care about what talents the country needs?
Perhaps they never thought about this problem, but are spending a lot of energy and money on how to make "ABC" clear........
While Chinese parents are still frantically learning English, American parents have begun to cultivate their children's physical thinking from an early age. Because Americans know that if you want to develop technology effectively in the long run, a steady stream of physical talent is the key to solving most problems!
Ren Zhengfei stressed: Education is the most important national defense!
The Ministry of Education issued a statement: "Strengthen the proportion of physics examinations, and students around the first grade have begun to formally study science-related (physics prototype) courses." ”
This is completely different from the previous way of attaching importance to bilingual teaching, and in the future, English will gradually be weakened in children's entrance examinations, and science will be improved. Not only that, in the future, if children do not learn physics well, they may lose the qualifications of many 985 and 211 colleges and universities, and rub shoulders with famous schools.
In order to make the country rich and the people strong, mathematics, physics and chemistry are the top priority, and only by doing a good job of fundamental education and teaching can we cultivate scientific and technological talents.
In order to let primary school students understand physics, the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and "Unread" jointly launched the best-selling popular science book "1 Minute Physics", which is a super popular science internet celebrity with hot WeChat, Douyin, and B station, which is tall enough, right? Authority is not to be questioned, better than the child's physics teacher.
"1 Minute of Physics" extracts from more than 1,000 readers' questions, with a total of 238 brain hole fun questions from netizens, including sound, light, electricity, heat, universe, nature, brain holes and other topics that are of most interest to physics fans.
Like what:
Why do eating oranges when playing with balloons explode?
Why can the wind lift the huge roof?
How are rockets made? How can you get it launched?
…………
In our lives, there are too many so-called "common sense of life" waiting for children to explore, and this "1 Minute Physics" will replace the teacher to tell you all the answers!
For this book, Wen Ya, secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, concluded: "The advancement of science popularization is endless, but if it can interest readers, it is the best science popularization." ”
Many parents don't know that children accept scientific enlightenment, not just shape scientists!
Hao Jingfang, a master of Tsinghua University, mentioned that the future is the era of knowledge economy, the era of research and development and creativity becoming the mainstream, and solving problems and exploring essential thinking are the most important core qualities.
So, for kids to love physics, start with this set of books! This set of books contains more than 50 comic illustrations, which run through the text, adding flexibility to the boring text, making reading more interesting, and allowing children to get physical knowledge points unconsciously in the comic for 1 minute.
"One Minute Physics" a total of 2 volumes, suitable for primary school senior and junior high school students to read, the original price of 110 yuan, as long as 68 yuan, value for money, interested friends do not miss this wave of offers Oh.
