There was a poem that went viral all over the Internet before - "There is no winter that cannot be overcome, and there is no spring that will not come." In China's history, winter has never been lacking, and natural disasters, foreign invasions, internal scuffles, threats of powerful countries, etc., have caused many unimaginable "winters" in China's history. But just as the poem writes that winter will always pass, spring will always come, in those countless winter days, it is precisely a group of people who have gone forward and been brave and tenacious to disperse winter and usher in spring.
"You say, thirty years from now, will anyone still remember me?" This is the question that Mr. Deng Jiaxian, the founder of the two bombs, sent to his beloved wife on his deathbed.

On June 25, 1924, Deng Jiaxian was born in Huaining, Anhui Province. Deng Jiaxian's father was a famous philosopher and educator in China at that time, and under the influence of his father, Deng Jiaxian began to contact knowledge and study at a very young age. But unlike his father, who focused on social sciences, Deng Jiaxian had a fondness for physics knowledge when he was a child, and often asked his father's friends in the field of physics for advice.
At that time, China was in the midst of the first civil war, and Japan was also eyeing the three eastern provinces. Not long after, the September 18 Incident broke out, in order to avoid the war, Deng Jiaxian's family decided to go south, but at that time, Deng Jiaxian's father suddenly fell seriously ill, and the whole family could only continue to stay in Beiping City. It was not until 1940 that Deng Jiaxian and his family left Beiping and went to Kunming with the help of friends from the south.
After coming to Kunming, Deng Jiaxian entered the then Southwest United University with the help of his father and friends to continue his studies. At this time, southwest United University was re-established after the original Tsinghua University, Peking University and many other well-known universities moved south, bringing together educators and top talents in the scientific field at that time. With the help of many division commanders, Deng Jiaxian's "physics dream" from childhood was also realized, and he received a high level of physics education here.
When it comes to the reason why Deng Jiaxian chose to study physics, the answer is: physics is a discipline that can change the world, and I hope to change China's backwardness by studying physics, comparable to the strength of foreign countries.

At the time of the victory of the War of Resistance, the Southwest United University also ended his mission, and the original major universities began to embark on the road to returning to the north, and at this time Deng Jiaxian had also graduated. He returned to Beiping with the Beigui team from Peking University. After arriving in Beiping, at the invitation of Deng Jiaxian's original division chief, Deng Jiaxian became an assistant teacher in the Department of Physics of Peking University.
During his teaching at school, Deng Jiaxian always felt that his knowledge of physics was still extremely scarce, which was simply not enough to support himself to realize his ideal of serving the country. So he decided to study in the United States. At that time, the United States was in a "honeymoon period" with China because of the relationship between the National Government, and the United States also provided China with many opportunities to study abroad. Deng Jiaxian got such an opportunity because of his excellent performance, and in the fall of 1948, he entered Purdue University in Indiana to study physics.
To the surprise of americans, Deng Jiaxian was very energetic after arriving in the United States, and when others went to feel the "exotic style", Deng Jiaxian chose to soak in the library all day. In less than two years, Deng Jiaxian had successfully passed the doctoral defense, and he became the youngest doctor at the age of 26, which caused a sensation in the whole state.

After graduating with a doctorate, Deng Jiaxian was invited from many of the top physics institutes in the United States, but he declined them all. In 1950, Deng Jiaxian resolutely stepped on the plane back to China, and his ideal of changing China was finally about to begin.
After the victory of the War of Liberation, Chinese mainland quickly entered a state of hostility with the United States. China was not afraid of the United States because of the support of the Soviet Big Brother. But after our "break-up" with the Soviet Union, China has already begun to encounter hostility between the two superpowers. At this time, the development of nuclear weapons is crucial.
When Japan was "nuclearly leveled" by the United States, the eyes of the whole world were attracted. Everyone understands that such nuclear weapons in the hands of the United States will be a superweapon and that if we are to be independent and free, our country must also develop its own nuclear weapons. But at that time, we had already fallen out with the Soviet Union, and it was completely the natives who were groping for independent research and development bit by bit. It was at this time that Deng Jiaxian was commissioned to develop our own nuclear weapons.
In 1958, after Deng Jiaxian suddenly received a transfer order, he bid farewell to his wife without a word and embarked on the road to the northwest desert. In the next eight years, Deng Jiaxian personally participated in fifteen field experiments of nuclear weapons in that boundless desert. In 1964, the first atomic bomb successfully exploded, but Deng Jiaxian fell.

In a nuclear weapons experiment, Deng Jia was first irradiated by nuclear weapons, causing him to suffer from rectal cancer. In June 1986, on his deathbed, Deng Jiaxian asked his beloved wife, "Do you say that after 30 years, will anyone still remember me?" "Heartbreaking, even more admirable.
