The human heart is only the size of a fist, but the things that can be accommodated in a person's heart are infinite, family, lovers, children, parents, and more importantly, the state. If the heart is a small furnace, then everything contained in the heart is wrapped in a fiery flame, and everything can make people's blood boil.

In these things, the love of the country seems to be the innate nature of a person, and people always have a strong and unconscious love for their country and nation. This kind of love emerges when the nation needs it. When the country needs us, we always choose to do our part without hesitation.

As Linnai said, "If I have some ability, I have an obligation to dedicate it to the motherland", and people are always proud of what they can do for the motherland.

In China's development process, there are many people who have contributed to the construction of the country, they are not afraid of difficulties, break through many obstacles to learn advanced science and technology, and then they are not subject to the coercion and inducement of the neighboring countries, and they return to their homeland without hesitation and devote themselves to the construction of the country.

Drift across the ocean to learn

Among these people is a famous scientist, Qian Xuesen, the father of China's aerospace industry. Qian Xuesen was admitted to study at public expense in 1935. In September of that year, he came to the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study aviation.

In just one year, Qian Xuesen transferred to California Institute of Technology to continue his research in the field of aviation. In California, Qian Xuesen met a mentor who had a huge influence on him, Feng Xuesen. Carmen.

California Institute of Technology

Feng. Carmen is an aerospace engineer who is a scientific prodigy of the aerospace era. Among his many students, Qian Xuesen is undoubtedly the one he is most proud of, and at the same time, Qian Xuesen is also his most powerful assistant.

Feng. Carmen recalls Qian Xuesen in his later memoirs, and in his description, the first meeting between the two qian Xuesen left a deep impression on him.

In Carmen's description, Qian Xuesen was a young man with a small and serious appearance, who wrote: "He (Qian Xuesen) answered all my questions with extraordinary accuracy, and his quick thinking and wisdom immediately impressed me. So, Qian Xuesen walked into Carmen's eyes.

Feng. Carmen was a Jew who lived in California and worked hard to unleash his wisdom and energy. At that time, Qian Xuesen, who had just arrived in California, also left his hometown, far away from the land he was familiar with, and came to a country with different languages and different habits, and it was a pleasure to see Chinese people on the streets of California.

Feng. Carmen

Two people with equally hard work and intelligent minds were originally more likely to appreciate each other than others, and the two were both uprooted, and soon the two had a feeling of pity for each other.

In 1935, the year when Qian Xuesen had just been admitted to study abroad at public expense, he wrote a text that made people look full of ambition: You are on a summer night, looking at the dense twinkling stars, there is an unattainable disappointment, are we really so pitiful? No, never, we must conquer the universe!

Therefore, Qian Xuesen's enthusiasm is full of study, he looks up at the vast starry sky, and has never flinched because of the mystery of the universe, and this spirit of exploration has always supported him.

In the days abroad, this young man showed his perseverance beyond ordinary people, taking classes and doing experiments became his daily ability, and in the time when there were no classes and no experiments, he became a regular visitor to the library. Feng. The emergence of Carmen has made Qian Xuesen's studies more refined.

The most terrible thing in this world is not the superb IQ, but the perseverance and heart that ordinary people cannot reach. Qian Xuesen was originally a "genius", and what made people feel even more frightening was that he also had perseverance. And his equally gifted mentor was also a man who was obsessed with research all day, and it was easy for the two of them to achieve something.

Time ticks, and on a busy day, like someone who is obsessed with research, it is probably time. Not long after, Qian Xuesen, who was only 28 years old, solved the mathematical calculation problem of shell deformation when the aircraft flew at high speed under the guidance of Carmen.

From aviation to rockets

Along with time, it is the development of science and technology, scientists will never be satisfied with the exploration of the present, and exploring more advanced things is one thing that can make them happy.

In 1940, Qian Xuesen joined a rocket group. This rocket group was at the forefront of caltech at the time, and the people in it were dedicated to the study of rockets, and each of them had a genius mind and a heart to explore.

In their eyes, the universe is a puzzle, and everything in the universe, every molecule, every bacterium, is a puzzle. They are keen to solve these puzzles.

This rocket team launched its first rocket over a valley. This ordinary and ordinary valley, because of this rocket, has also become a different valley, and it has become the birthplace of American rocket research. The launch of this rocket not only brought about the difference in this valley, nor was it just different in the rocket field, it also changed Qian Xuesen.

After the successful launch of this rocket, Qian Xuesen turned his research focus to rockets. For Qian Xuesen's transformation, Feng. Carmen is also very happy to see this, he feels that these young people can use their abilities to make a huge contribution to the future.

Like most scientists, Qian Xuesen also has the quality of not accepting defeat. Rocket research is not entirely smooth, in fact, the study of anything new will always encounter some difficulties at the beginning.

When people study things, if their predecessors have written some empirical talk in this regard, then future generations can avoid taking some detours to a large extent when studying. But Qian Xuesen did not give them some "experience talk" when they were studying rockets, and all their activities, all formulas and derivations, needed to be tried step by step.

This path is wrong, just continue on another path, under the continuous trial and error, they finally have a little success. In 1947, Qian Xuesen had become a world-famous rocket jet propulsion expert, and his talents were valued by China and the United States.

In 1949, the party organization hoped that Qian Xuesen could return to China and lead the construction of China's aviation industry, so it sincerely issued an invitation.

Building for the country

For Qian Xuesen, it is a meaningful thing to apply what he has learned to the construction of the motherland, but for the United States, Qian Xuesen's return to China will become a major threat to them. In order to prevent Qian Xuesen from returning to China, they could not induce them and began to threaten. In the end, Qian Xuesen was directly arrested, forcing him to be unable to return to China.

Nevertheless, he still longed for his return to the motherland and made contributions to the motherland to the best of his ability. In 1955, after many communications between China and the United States, Qian Xuesen's family finally returned to the motherland, back to this homeland that he had missed for many years.

In addition to Qian Xuesen, There are many outstanding scientists in China. Many of these scientists were detained abroad in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because their technological talents have made other countries feel afraid, they do not want to see these talents build China into a big country, so these geniuses are detained and coerced and lured.

However, the United States has ignored the love of these scientists for the motherland and the nation, they love this piece of land, and they are willing to return to the embrace of the motherland at all costs and contribute to the motherland.

These people have made great efforts in China's construction, and without them, China would not have grown up at a frightening rate that made the world feel terrible, and if it were not for them, China's development would not have been so smooth.

China grew up under difficult circumstances, and it has taken a lot of manpower and material resources to preserve every piece of China's territory, and when the war was just over and China was just building a new order out of chaos, we did not rely on other developed countries and grew up rapidly.

Everything lagged behind every aspect of people from the beginning, and the gap was narrowed under the efforts of scientists like Qian Xuesen in that era. These scientists, the people we should never forget, are the people we respect the most!
