On October 2, 1952, the Regional Peace Conference for Asia and the Pacific was held in Beijing, and a surprising scene occurred at this meeting.
A white American woman walked up to the stage with a big belly and appealed to the people of the world with generous and powerful words: Science must serve the people, we must not forget the tragedy that happened in Hiroshima, Japan, the United States has everything, but they are building atomic bombs for killing people, although there is only a pile of broken copper and rotten iron here, but here is the opposite of the United States, we are building a pot for eating!
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately shocked everyone present, and according to the reporter's editing and dissemination, the United States also noticed this person, and in July 1953, the American magazine "Truth" wrote an article that roughly described her as "a nuclear energy spy who defected from the United States to China, she betrayed the United States, and even betrayed herself." The man whom the United States called a traitor, named Joan Hinton, may not be known to most people, but she had been herding cattle in rural parts of the mainland for more than half a century.
At the same time, Joan Hinton is also the first foreigner to obtain a mainland green card, living in China for so many years, she also has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, from the name she got for herself Chinese "Han Chun" can be seen, cold faded spring, the meaning is extremely beautiful, there is no Chinese the foundation really can not think of this poetic name. But this also makes people wonder why this person, who makes the United States call a traitor, came to China to release cattle for 60 years. And how many amazing stories have happened to her?
Born in Chicago in 1921, Jonesington was a famous American scientist and collector, and his grandmother was also the author of the famous work "Cattle Fly". Born in such a family, Jonesington can be said to be a scholarly door, and the education she received from childhood was also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, coupled with such excellent parents, Jonesington learned a lot of life principles at a very young age, and also let her dream of benefiting mankind begin to take root.
Jonesington inherited the wisdom of her parents, learned a lot of things, such as flute, violin, etc., and she is also a professional Olympic skier. Not only that, but she also showed an amazing talent in physics, studying physics in college and becoming Fermi's right-hand man for the Nobel Prize in physics after graduation. You know, at that time in the United States, it was more difficult to become Fermi's assistant than to ascend to the heavens, not only to be a person with integrity, but also to have a high degree of professional opinion, and it was very rare to be recognized by Fermi.
After this, Jonesington participated in the "Manhattan" project, that is, the development of the world's first atomic bomb, which wanted to participate in the military secret figures and senior talents of related professions, at first Jonesington was not selected, and later was selected thanks to the help of Einstein. Such a top R & D team, the atomic bomb was naturally successfully developed, watching his hard-earned seeds sprout, Johnson Hinton is also very happy and proud, feel that the realization of the value of life.
In this way, she should have had a smooth sailing in the United States and became the object of co-optation by people from all walks of life in the United States, but suddenly changed, making her completely disappointed in her country, and thus went to China, which lagged far behind the United States. The fundamental reason for this is that on August 6, 1945, three American B-29 bombers carrying nuclear bombs flew all the way into the air over Hiroshima, Japan, and dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan, and a few days later, another one was dropped on Nagasaki, and Jonesington witnessed the devastation of two Japanese cities.
The horrific scene of 150,000 Japanese civilians dying in just one instant made Jonesington feel frightened and uneasy, and she began to think that it was her own sake that indirectly contributed to the catastrophe, and it was she who personally handed the American army a murderous knife. Not only that, but when her colleague saw the mushroom cloud rise, she exclaimed: this is the bones and flesh of the Japanese, which deeply stung her heart, and she was insomnia and sleepless all day, and even when she closed her eyes, she recalled countless Japanese civilians crying and struggling.
This went on for many years, and then when Jonesington was studying for a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, she stumbled upon herself to discover that her scholarship was also offered by the U.S. military. It was also from this moment that Jonesington's previous inherent cognition was completely overturned, and the dream of learning physics to benefit mankind seemed to become a big joke, and everything she experienced told her: Your wishes cannot be realized in the United States, don't struggle, give up resistance.
What is a person's most desperate moment? It was to find that her dream was shattered, and Jonesington wanted to make up for the mistakes she had committed, and also wanted her dream to continue to move forward without being interrupted, so Jonesington began to promote the use of nuclear energy in the field of peace in the United States, but the effect was so small that no one believed her words, which undoubtedly made her more disheartened. When the "buyer's theorem" is established, no one can think of what choice the buyer makes about your things, and when the "product" deteriorates, the seller itself is both responsible.
However, things always have a twist, and by chance, Jonesington read "Journey to the West", which recorded "the struggle in the revolutionary base areas of northwest China", and the communism in the book also made her feel: the same world. Just as her heart was struggling, her brother William returned home, heard her brother say that he had met Chairman Mao in China, and was deeply impressed by Chairman Mao's personality, and he also told Jonesington about Chinese culture and his trip to China.
Not only her brother, but several people around her have been to China, and they have praised China in front of her, saying: It is a land of hope, a utopia in dreams, and an oriental country full of ideals and vitality. Under the praise of many people, Jonesington's heart also began to yearn for China. In the eyes of countless people, Jonesington thought that she would be a top physics expert in the future, and there was great hope of hitting the Nobel Prize, and his family and friends also believed that she would make a significant contribution to the United States.
However, Jonesington made a decision that everyone did not understand, saying that she was about to withdraw from the nuclear field and go to China. Before she participated in the development of the nuclear bomb for the faith society, now she also chose to leave the United States because of her faith, before she left, her little master yang Zhenning specially drove her and taught her the first Chinese words: "This is a pen." This seemingly ordinary sentence has a deep meaning, and for a talent like her, a pen can play a huge role.
In this way, Jonesington faced a lot of pressure and finally arrived in Shanghai in March 1948 on the cruise ship "General Gordon". But even though she came to Shanghai and set foot on Chinese soil, she was unable to travel to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution depicted in the book. Because at this time in Shanghai, the Kuomintang set up layers of defensive lines, And Jonsington tried several times to break through without success, which is why she had a foreigner's face, and if she Chinese, the Kuomintang might arrest him as a communist agent.
In desperation, Qiongxinton had to go to Beiping first, and then waited here for a few years, during which she constantly recalled the voice in her heart before coming to China: "China under the leadership of the Communist Party is a land of hope." It was this belief that sustained her torment and waited, and in the spring of 1949, Peiping was peacefully liberated. One morning, someone told her the news she was waiting day and night: "You can go to Yan'an", so she rushed back to her home to pack her bags and board the transport truck to Yan'an.
After dozens of hours of long journeys, Jonesington finally arrived in Yan'an, where although yan'an was very poor, the people here were in good spirits and full of harmony. This scene made Jonesington very incomprehensible, obviously people who had experienced war, but they showed a positive spirit, which she had not seen in the United States. As mentioned earlier, Jonesington was a talent in the field of nuclear physics, but the conditions in Yan'an at that time were not enough to support her to carry out nuclear physics research, but even if there was, she was not willing to develop it again.
So Jonesington went to the farm to engage in dairy farming and farm tool innovation, and it was here that she met her compatriot, whose name was Owen Ernst, Chinese named Yang Zhao. He was born in 1918, majored in agriculture and animal husbandry when he was a university student in the United States, and he also began to have a strong interest in China because he read the book "Journey to the West", and he had a yearning for this mysterious oriental country, of course, he also came to Yan'an after several reversals and met Chairman Mao.
Like Owen Ernst, After a period of living in Yan'an, Jonesington discovered that the military and civilians here are almost family relatives, a harmonious society in which everyone is equal, there is no hierarchy, and this society is not exactly what he wants and believes? In this way, Jonesington and Yang Morning and Night together every day, plus they come from a country, so they have a special affection for each other, and the two are almost the same age difference, there are similar interests and hobbies, slowly, the two fall in love.
Not long after, Qiongxinton and Yang held a wedding in Yan'an, and due to conditions, this wedding was very simple, not only the place was a cave, but the wedding cake was still kneaded out of mud by Jonesington. However, neither of them cared about these material conditions, they only cared about whether their future life was full, whether their spiritual needs were full, and then, Jonesington gave himself a Chinese name - Hanchun. Cold spring, meaning early spring, early spring, the name is also very compatible with "yang early", suggesting that both are full of hope for the future.
Now that she has devoted all her energy to the study of cows, she has made a new and great wish, which is to "make milk available to everyone." "Yang has managed more than 30 cows in Yan'an, and you know, these cows are the entire nutrition supply of hundreds of thousands of local soldiers and civilians." Jonesington became her husband's assistant, and the two of them first went to the trilateral pastures on the border of northern Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, and were entrusted by their superiors to help the local herders improve their cattle and sheep, so as to increase the yield of milk.
To this end, the couple plunged headlong into the inaccessible, communication is dependent on the roar of the backward pasture, focusing on this thing, husband Yang Zhao, although the pasture in charge of animal husbandry technology, but in order to better understand the situation, he has been in the front line of labor, in order to improve the phenomenon of shortage of pasture materials, he also led the workers to plant corn and new varieties of pasture, and even built a lot of cellars to store winter green feed. More than half a month had passed since the founding of New China, and the two of them had only learned the news.
At first they couldn't believe it, but after confirming it, the couple hugged each other and cried: "This is a sacred moment, we are involved in the establishment of a new country!" In 1952, the couple successfully brought more than a thousand cows back to Xi'an Caotan Farm, where they spent another 11 spring and summer. Every day between the various pastures, many local people have said to them more than once: Thank you so much, how much you and your husband and wife have suffered for our locals, how much they have suffered.
But Jonsington said, "I don't remember what I suffered, I just know that I have a lot of fun every day, and perhaps what you think of as a pleasure in my eyes is a pleasure." In the same year, when Beijing was about to hold the "Asia-Pacific Peace Conference", Jonesington was invited by Soong Ching Ling to attend with her husband Yang Zhao, and at that time, Johnsonton was 7 months pregnant. Although Jonesington was previously one of the developers of the U.S. nuclear bomb, at the conference, she denounced nuclear war and called for the elimination of weapons of mass destruction around the world. It was also at this meeting that the United States discovered that Jonesington, who had been missing for three years, had appeared in China, suspecting that Jonesington had betrayed his country and betrayed detailed data on U.S. nuclear weapons for profit.
In 1953, an American magazine published an article condemning Jonesington's behavior, dragging her to a blacklist and forbidding her to return to the United States. As a result, Johnson, who had planned to stay in China for five years, could only stay in China indefinitely because of charges inexplicably arranged by the United States.
However, in fact, after Jonesington came to China, he really just raised cattle and bred better breeds, and he had not been exposed to nuclear physics at all, let alone done relevant research. Fortunately, Jonesington is used to living in China, and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, and she can continue her favorite milk business. Moreover, after the birth of their child, they did not send him to the United States, but stayed in China to raise him. In 1966, Jonesington was transferred to Beijing to carry out translation-related work.
In order to give her a better working environment, she also specially arranged the expert building, but unexpectedly, Jonesington was uncomfortable, so she found two foreign experts and wrote an article entitled "Why Foreigners in the Heart of the World Revolution Have Been Pushed onto the Road of Revisionism", protesting that they should cancel the special care for themselves like other Chinese workers, and this request was quickly approved by the chairman, so Jonesington was also satisfied to return to the previous "poor" life, thinking that his goal had been achieved.
In fact, the most difficult time for Jonesington was not to work in a place with difficult conditions, but when Chairman Mao died in 1976, when she learned of the chairman's death, she rushed to Beijing to say goodbye to the chairman. At the scene, almost everyone was crying. Only she did not, because she knew that Chairman Mao's class struggle and the task of opposing hegemony and liberating the people had not yet been completed, and the only thing that could be done now was to follow Chairman Mao through the road he had not taken and inherit his ideas, but the obstacles were long and long, and it was necessary to continue to work hard.
In 1977, the United States lifted restrictions on Jonesington's return to China, so she and her husband returned to the United States, but not to survive, but to go to the United States to purchase equipment so that they could expand the scope of the farm. Later, they also started the early mechanical breeding of dairy cows in Beijing, and also promoted the development of China's dairy industry, through their unremitting efforts, so that the original milk production of less than 7,000 kilograms of dairy cows, rose to produce 13,000 kilograms of milk, and their mechanical breeding technology was also sorted out and promoted to the whole country.
In 2003, Jonesington's husband Yang Early died of an unfortunate illness, and before his death, he specifically instructed his wife to take good care of the farm, and when her husband was cremated, Jonesington buried his ashes in the meadow of the pasture. She felt that her husband would also like his own approach, so that Yang could see the cattle he was worried about every day. It wasn't long before Joneston retired, but she didn't completely let go of the ranch, and when she heard that a few cows had run out of the ranch, she rushed to the farm to deal with the matter, but she didn't have to come in person.
However, she took her husband's instructions to heart, that is, as long as she was alive, she would manage every day of the farm. In 2004, for Qiongxinton's outstanding contribution, she received her first Chinese green card from the Beijing Public Security Bureau, becoming the first foreigner in China's history to receive a green card. When she got her green card, a reporter asked: "You can choose to do a lot of things, but why raise cattle in China for half a lifetime?" Jonesington said: Staying in China is a matter of faith, but it does not hinder the work of cattle breeding.
The reporter also asked: Have you ever had regrets in your life? Jonesington thought for a moment and said firmly: "I have done two great things in my life, the atomic bomb and the Chinese revolution, and that is enough." Six years later, on June 8, 2010, Jonesington also completed his life and died in Beijing at the age of 89. After her death, she was buried with her husband Yang Chun under a tree on Xiaowangzhuang Farm, and even after her death, the couple had to look at the cows they cared about in another world.
As for their child Yang Heping, he taught and educated people in China, this name is still song Qingling, the Peace Medal was also awarded by the Chinese, the life of Yang Early and Han Chun was for world peace, in order to liberate all mankind, before in the obituary of her husband Yang He, Jonesington also specifically asked for the addition of the phrase "struggle for the liberation of all mankind", they lived in the second half of their lives in China, when they wanted to carry the highest communist belief of all mankind. "Great love in the world, pure and pure", may be the portrayal of their lives.
