introduction
Chinese are also quite particular about choosing names, especially in some scholarly families, this characteristic is most obvious.
Especially in history, the names of these celebrities are even better than his original name, just like Qian Sanqiang, the founder of the mainland's atomic energy science industry, his original name is Qian Bingqiong.
Even this name was not obtained by his father, but by his classmates, so that later his father really changed his name to Qian Sanqiang.
So far, this nickname is known to everyone.
The son of a scholarly family
He grew up in a family with a very strong academic atmosphere, so the knowledge he received from a young age was different.
But one of the most special things is that because of his father, he has not been exposed to many traditional Chinese education since he was a child, on the contrary, the learning he received is a new type of education.
No one expected that a nuclear physicist would appear in the descendants of a Confucian family, although his name was Qian Sanqiang, but his original name was Qian Bingqiong.
His father named him Bingqiong, which means "pure temperament, ambition to keep the heavens." ”
And he also has a very famous father, his father is Qian Xuantong.
Since he was born in such an excellent family, he must have been pinned on by his family with great hopes, but his father also had an open attitude towards his education.
Because in terms of learning, Qian Xuantong not only let him receive a new education, but even let him choose his favorite major.
So the school that Qian Sanqiang just started attending was "Confucius Middle School", which is a very enlightened school, and there are some differences between it and private schools.
Because in addition to focusing on "morality, intelligence, and physique", the school also attaches great importance to the education of aesthetic education, labor, and music, which can be said to promote the all-round development of students.
Later, when he was 17 years old, he was admitted to the preparatory department of Peking University, and then he was admitted to the physics department of Tsinghua University.
It's just an unexpected thing, why would the son of a master of Chinese studies turn to natural science? Generally speaking, many talented families want their children to inherit their mantle.
But Qian Xuantong did not do this, on the contrary, he often encouraged his children to learn foreign languages and natural sciences well, and participate in sports.
Because of his father's encouragement, Qian Xuantong had a wide range of interests in middle school, whether it was mathematics or painting, etc., which he was very interested in.
And Qian Xuantong often uses "Don't forget, you are a cow, and you have to show a bull's strength." It can be said that this is what Qian Sanqiang hears most often in his father's mouth.
Therefore, growing up in such a family environment is not only free in knowledge, but also in mind and soul.
Founder of the Atomic Energy Science Enterprise
When Qian Sanqiang graduated from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University, under the introduction of the teacher, Qian Sanqiang came to work at the Institute of Physics of Peking Research and Development.
And the director of this institute is still Yan Keats, so Qian Sanqiang worked as an assistant under him.
During the time he was an assistant, Qian Sanqiang did not give up studying, and even won a place to go to France to study radium.
It was just at this time to catch up with the Lugou Bridge incident in China, coupled with the aggravation of his father's illness because of his concern for the country and the people, in such an environment, how could Qian Sanqiang go to France to study.
In the end, it was his father who advised him: "Although you are very worried about what is happening in front of you, we should plan for the future, after all, we do not have these technologies in China." ”
Qian Sanqiang heard his father's teachings, even though he was reluctant to give up, but for the sake of the future development of the country, he still endured his grief and chose to leave.
Qian Sanqiang, who came to France, also began his journey to explore the light of fission, and he quickly completed his doctoral dissertation and obtained his doctorate with the help of the Curie's daughter.
In addition, Qian Sanqiang also cooperated with his wife He Zehui to jointly discover the phenomenon of triple fission and quadruple fission of uranium nuclei, and thus won the Henri Deba Prize in Microphysics of the French Academy of Sciences.
This research is also an important result of physics research after World War II, and even the Western media refer to Qian Sanqiang and his wife as the Chinese Curie couple.
Qian Sanqiang, who has made great research achievements and honorary achievements in France, has never forgotten his original intention, and even at that time, many people speculated that Qian Sanqiang would not return to China.
However, Qian Sanqiang still gave up the superior conditions abroad and chose to return to China, he also said: It is precisely because the country needs people at this time that he will choose to return to his own country, although science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland.
So in May 1948, Qian Sanqiang and his wife returned to China with their half-year-old daughter, and Qian Sanqiang, who returned to China, devoted himself to China's atomic energy industry.
Even when many parts were in short supply at the time, Qian Sanqiang would ride his bicycle and look for parts in thrift stalls or scrapyards.
Moreover, he was aware of the importance of atomic energy research in the development of the country a long time ago, so in June 1960 he mentioned that the hydrogen bomb was to be used as a detonator.
Without further ado, Qian Sanqiang soon organized a group of theoretical physicists to study the mechanism of thermonuclear reactions and made theoretical studies on the subsequent development of hydrogen bombs.
Finally, two years and eight months after the first atomic bomb exploded, the mainland successfully developed a hydrogen bomb in order to successfully develop it.
Qian Sanqiang not only paid a special visit to Qian Xuesen, but even went to Deng Jiaxian to serve as the director of the theory department, and even recommended outstanding talents from all over the country to the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute.
It can be said that China's development in both the hydrogen bomb and the atomic bomb is inseparable from the efforts of these predecessors, among which 15 outstanding talents were personally mobilized by Qian Sanqiang to return to China.
Origin of the name
In fact, few people know that Qian Sanqiang's original name is "Qian Bingqiong", and the origin of the name Qian Sanqiang can be traced back to his middle school days.
The reason is that Qian Sanqiang and one of his classmates wrote to each other very frequently when he was in middle school, and this classmate called him "Sanqiang" in the letter.
It's just that this letter was seen by his father Qian Xuantong, so he asked him who the "top three" were? Qian Sanqiang said to his father: "Sanqiang is what Zhizhong's classmates call me. ”
At this time, Qian Xuantong immediately became interested, because he didn't know why his classmates called him "Sanqiang" instead of "Bingqiong".
At this time, Qian Sanqiang said: "Because I am the third in the family, I also like sports, and my body is relatively strong, so they call me Sanqiang." ”
At that time, Qian Xuantong also felt very interesting when he heard such words, and he also liked the name very much, and immediately explained: "Strive to make progress in moral education, intellectual education, and sports." ”
Later, Qian Bingqiong's name became "Qian Sanqiang", although this name was not given to him by his father at the beginning, but he still had a lot of hope in him.
Even when I first entered Qian Bingqiong's information when I was checking Qian Lao's information, the information didn't come out, but when I entered Qian Sanqiang, a lot of relevant information came out.
The name of Qian Sanqiang can be said to make him famous at home and abroad, and everyone remembers this name. It is because of their refusal to give up that we have achieved so much.
epilogue
At the same time, we should remember these hard-working predecessors, because they are the only ones who have such a strong and powerful country as we are now.
Under the research of many scientists, mushroom clouds belonging to China have appeared one after another on the windy and sandy desert, and it is precisely because of them that our country has truly stood up.
