Precious images of Qian Lei with his wife and son
Hello everyone, I'm Lantai.
Today, Lantai will introduce to you the situation of Mr. Qian Lei, the only grandson of Professor Qian Xuesen, the founder of China's aerospace industry and a scientist with outstanding contributions to the country.
Why introduce Mr. Qian Lei to everyone?
This is because Lantai saw a statement on a video website that Qian Lei, vice president of security at Alibaba Group, is the grandson of Professor Qian Xuesen.
And many people still leave messages below, although they are all wishes and blessings, but Lantai wants to say that Qian Lei, vice president of security of Alibaba Group, is really not the grandson of Professor Qian Xuesen.
He and Qian Lao's grandson Qian Lei just have the same name and surname.
Next, Lantai will introduce the specific situation of the two Qian Lei.
Qian Lei, Alibaba Group's vice president of security, is not Qian's grandson
01、
Why is Qian Lei, vice president of security at Alibaba Group, not Qian Lao's grandson?
That's because Qian Lao's grandson, Qian Lei, was still working in the military commission at least in 2016 and was an active-duty soldier, and even if he applied for a job change that year and was approved that year, he would not have become the group's vice president in charge of cybersecurity in just three years at a group company as large as Alibaba.
Second, Alibaba Group's Qian Lei's resume shows that he joined Alibaba Group in 2008 as a network engineer; Before that, he had been working in Shanghai for 8 years, and more importantly, in 2008, Qian Lei had just married.
All this shows that this Qian Lei is not Qian Lei.
Qian Lao's grandson, Qian Lei, graduated from the Aerospace Engineering University, which is now the Aerospace Engineering University of the PLA Strategic Support Force.

Qian Lei, who has worked in the military system since graduating from university, has always been low-key, and there is not much public information about him.
At present, it is only known that he was married and had children before Qian Lao's death, and there is only one video about Qian Lei.

It was during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Qian Lei took his wife and newborn son to visit his grandfather Qian Xuesen, and Qian Lao looked at his great-grandson and smiled tightly.
Then, in December 2016, on the official website of the People's Liberation Army Daily, the China Military Network published an article titled "The Wind is Sailing and Looking at the Tide - A Review of the First Anniversary of Deepening National Defense and Military Reform", which mentioned Qian Lei:
As soon as the sky was dark, Qian Lei, a staff officer of the Information System Bureau of the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission, who had stayed up all night, breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the office building. The reform opinions on the management of equipment research that he and his colleagues studied and drafted finally completed the first draft. "After the reform, we will hand over a considerable part of the new product research and development tasks to the management of various services and arms, and put more energy into major matters such as policies and regulations, system design, and cross-service coordination, and no longer take care of everything and stick it to the end." Qian Lei was deeply touched.
The Qian Lei mentioned in this report is Qian Lei, the grandson of Qian Xuesen and Qian Lao.
That is to say, Professor Qian Xuesen's only grandson, Qian Lei, if there is no accident, he is still a glorious officer of the People's Liberation Army.

In fact, Qian Xuesen's family sacrificed too much for China's space industry.
Not only Qian Xuesen has sacrifices, but Qian Xuesen's son Qian Yonggang and grandson Qian Lei have made sacrifices for China's space industry.
Why do you say that?
The first is that Qian Yonggang sacrificed his academic future.
Because when Qian Yonggang was about to enter the university, it happened to be a special period, so he was not admitted to the university until he was 30 years old because of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and by the time he graduated from the university, he was 34 years old.
Although the California Institute of Technology in the United States abided by the agreement with Qian Xuesen and allowed Qian Yonggang to study at Caltech without examination and tuition, Qian Yonggang missed the most active period of thinking at this time, and he was 40 years old when he graduated with a master's degree.
To be honest, it is indeed a bit difficult for a 40-year-old middle-aged man with a wife and children to make academic achievements.
Seeing this, some friends may say, where did Qian Yonggang sacrifice?
Didn't you still go to college and study in the United States?
College students in the United States
Qian Yonggang's sacrifice was that he could not study at the age when he should have been the most.
Assuming that Professor Qian Xuesen chose to stay in the United States, then Qian Yong would have entered the California Institute of Technology as soon as he reached the age of study, and he did not need to graduate with a master's degree at the age of 40. It is likely to make some academic achievements.
The same is true of Qian Yonggang's son Qian Lei.
This is really not Lantai nonsense, Qian Lao once invited his cousin Qian Xueyu to return to China before returning to China, but Qian Xueyu declined.
Qian Xueyu, who stayed in the United States, gave birth to three sons, named Qian Yongyou, Qian Yongle, and Qian Yongjian.
Among them, the youngest son Qian Yongjian won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008, becoming the first person in the Qian Xuesen family to win the Nobel Prize; The eldest son, Qian Yongyou, is a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine and founded the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology for the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Qian Yongle, who has the lowest achievements, also graduated from New York University, a prestigious university in the United States, and is a computer expert.
Qian Yongyou, Qian Yongle, and Qian Yongjian, in terms of natural intelligence, may not be above Qian Yonggang, but they can study and work in the United States step by step, and do not have to go through a special era like Qian Yonggang.
Money to the people
In 2008, when Qian Yongyou's daughter Qian Xiangmin went to Qian Xuesen's house to visit Qian Lao, she talked about this topic with her cousin Qian Yonggang, and Qian Xiangmin felt that if his cousin had been in the United States, his achievements might not be worse than his father and two uncles:
If your father hadn't returned to China, maybe you and your sister would have grown up smoothly and had as outstanding achievements as your cousin.
Although Qian Yonggang firmly stated at that time that he never regretted returning to China with his father, we should still know that Professor Qian Xuesen resolutely returned to China and contributed to the motherland, not only he and his wife Jiang Ying made sacrifices, but his sons, daughters, grandsons, and grandchildren also sacrificed for China's space industry in a sense.
Professor Qian Xuesen
As ordinary Chinese, we should always thank and appreciate the contributions and sacrifices made by Professor Qian Xuesen and his family for China.
