Yang Zhenning, a top expert in U.S. nuclear weapons, came to rural China to raise cattle for 60 years
In 1953, a report titled "An Escaped Atomic Spy" was reprinted by the mainstream media in the United States, which sparked a heated discussion. The paper describes a young female physicist, Joan Hinton, who worked on the Manhattan project in the United States and participated in the production of the first atomic bomb. However, she quickly disappeared and then appeared in Beijing, China. The US media believe that this female physicist must have come to China with the secret of the US nuclear weapons and continued nuclear research in China. Joan Hinton is indeed in China, but is she helping us produce a nuclear bomb?
Joan Hinton was born in 1921 to a wealthy family in Chicago, USA, and there are many stories in her family, for example, the famous mathematician George Bull was her great-grandfather; Grandfather was a scientist and collector; The author of "The Bullfly" is Grandma Voynich; Her mom was a famous American educator, and so on. Joan Hinton comes from this family, so her family expects a lot from her. Joan Hinton did not disappoint her parents, she joined the Manhattan Project at the age of 23, her teacher is Fermi, the famous Nobel Laureate in Physics, yang Zhenning's classmate. Atomic bomb research was conducted in the United States. It's clear that Joan Hinton is a rising star in american science.
In 1945, Joan successfully developed the first atomic bomb. However, what Qiong Wanwan did not expect was that the nuclear bomb she personally made was used in war, and the huge mushroom cloud of Hiroshima instantly destroyed the belief of this genius scientist, and she gathered many researchers involved in nuclear tests and held a demonstration to demand the control of nuclear bombs, although the US government issued a law on nuclear explosions to try to calm the anger of the people, but she knew that her scientific research results, at this moment, had become the dirtiest tool!
Later, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, many reporters also went to take pictures and conduct field investigations, and Han Chun saw the "tragic image of the world" and felt deeply guilty, at this time, her colleagues joked: "This is the flesh and bones of the Japanese." After Han Chun heard this, his heart could not help but feel a chill, and he had the idea of giving up the dream of a scientist. However, this profession is not something that Han Chun said he could give up, and after the nuclear bomb exploded, the US military also increased the control of the Academy of Sciences and closely monitored Han Chun and other scientists.
And now, a letter from the far East had rekindled Hinton's hope. Sinton's friend Owen sent the letter from Yan'an, China. In his letter, Owen introduced Hinton to an Eastern utopia. In Owen's letter, Yan'an is a city of passion, dynamism and diversity. Owen's introduction made Hinton curious about this northeastern world she had never met, and she couldn't wait to come to this eastern utopia.
When Hanchun arrived in China at the beginning of the war and was in urgent need of recovery and development, Hanchun went to the kiln in northern Shaanxi, where her boyfriend Yang had long lived. She saw that although the Chinese people were very poor, everyone used the iron knife of war to forge an iron pot; In the country where she was born, although the people lived a carefree life, they threw the nuclear bombs they had worked so hard to develop to other countries. Seeing this contrast, Han Chun was even more determined to continue to stay in China! Soon, Yang Zao and Han Chun held a wedding ceremony in front of the people of Yan'an.
After a short happy life, they were inspired by the Red Wave to join the ranks of Chinese farmers. In the following four years, Hanchun and Yang have been engaged in technical work such as dairy farming and agricultural machinery transformation in Yan'an. A large number of agricultural machinery and equipment have been developed and invented, which not only saves a lot of labor, but also greatly improves the efficiency of production, but also provides technical help for many Chinese in China, and also establishes a good friendship with Chinese friends. But soon after, Han Chun was publicly condemned by the United States.
Han Chun is a nuclear physicist, and if she can participate in China's nuclear weapons program, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to China's nuclear weapons development. But Han Chun had made up his mind and abandoned the study of nuclear physics. So she never participated in China's nuclear program. At the time, the Americans did not believe it, accusing her of leaking atomic secrets to China. When Yang Zhenning returned to China, he specifically asked his old classmate Deng Jiaxian whether any foreigners had participated in China's nuclear tests. "This American is referring to the cold spring.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the couple worked as a technician at Xi'an Caotan Farm. They worked hard to improve the quality of dairy cows and improve agricultural machinery, and by 1955, they had sold a million cow green feed weed machines. And this kind of lawn mower is still one of the leading products of Caotan Farm Dairy Machinery Factory to this day. Han Chun and Yang have been living in China for more than 60 years, and the hardship and simplicity are the deepest impressions they have left on their colleagues, in addition to these, although they are in the deputy position, they do not play a spectrum at all, and often joke with colleagues. Mr. and Mrs. Han Chun devoted their lives to China's dairy industry, so they were revered as "Yuan Longping of the dairy industry". Hanchun has made great contributions to the development of New China, especially in the development of agricultural equipment and high-quality dairy cows.
Since the reform and opening up, China has been completely different from the China where the "cold spring" first came. However, we found that the ideological concepts, habits, and frugal spirit of "Cold Spring" have not changed because of this. Her husband, Yang Zao, died in 2003 with a pacemaker worth 120,000 yuan. As soon as the person left, she asked people to tear down the thing. "Han Chun" said, this thing is too precious, don't waste it. It can save lives and help the injured, but this machine later really saved a Patient in Xinjiang.
The original intentions of the two revolutionary predecessors, Hanchun and Yangzao, as well as the indelible red hearts, have deeply touched many people. These two old men, the "love" with the Chinese revolution, has a beginning and an end. Looking back on yesterday, they are a monument, a benchmark of life. Looking to the future, when the clarion call of revolution and construction sounded again, they pointed the way. Cold spring, early sun, although life is simple, but their inner world is the richest. They came to China for their faith, and this great fighter with international character deserves our respect!
