2. Li Siguang, geologist.
Li Siguang, who obtained a master's degree in geology from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, politely refused the advice of his mentor to let him study abroad.
"I want to contribute what I have learned to my motherland as soon as possible."
When New China was founded, Li Siguang was abroad, and he was not afraid of the intimidation of the Kuomintang, returned to China, and participated in China's geological work.
Achievements: One of the main leaders and founders of modern earth science and geological work in China
3. Deng Jiaxian, nuclear physicist.
After receiving his doctorate in the United States, Deng Jia refused to return to China on favorable terms to participate in atomic bomb research.
Achievements: The father of China's atomic bomb, the pioneer and founder of China's nuclear weapons development work.
4. Zhou Peiyuan, physicist.
During his study abroad, the U.S. Navy invited Zhou Peiyuan to join the military industry experiment and do research on the entry of mines into the water. Generous treatment, but requires U.S. citizenship. Zhou Peiyuan put forward three points: first, do not join the United States; second, only undertake temporary research tasks; third, you can leave at any time.
In 1947, Zhou Peiyuan returned to China.
Achievements: One of the founders of modern Chinese mechanics and theoretical physics
5. Qian Sanqiang, nuclear physicist.
After the founding of New China, Qian Sanqiang politely refused to be retained by his colleagues, and resolutely returned to China despite the threat of the Kuomintang.
Achievements: China's "father of the nuclear bomb" and one of the founders of China's atomic energy science cause.
6. Qian Xuesen
Qian Xuesen has studied at MIT and Caltech in the United States, and is a world-renowned aerodynamicist. Qian Xuesen's return to China was obstructed by the United States in every way. U.S. Defense Navy Vice Secretary Kim Bell believes that Qian Xuesen knows too much, and he goes there, which is equivalent to five divisions.
Qian Xuesen insisted on returning to China: "I am a Chinese, I can give up everything here, but I can't give up the motherland." I should return to the motherland at an early date and contribute all my strength to the construction of a new China. ”

"I want to stay in my homeland. No matter how poor the motherland is, I must also fight for her and serve her! ”
Major achievements: King of numbers, with outstanding contributions in differential geometry and computational geometry.
8. Wang Ganchang, nuclear physicist.
Wang Ganchang once conducted research in the Soviet Union. After the Sino-Soviet confrontation, Wang Ganchang returned to China to participate in nuclear bomb research. Wang Ganchang lived a life of poverty, and during his time in Suzhou, he was in a difficult period at home. Wang Ganchang sent all his savings back and donated them to the state.
Achievements: One of the founders and pioneers of nuclear science in China.
9. Zhu Guangya, nuclear physicist.
Zhu Guangya received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. After the founding of New China, he refused the high-paying offer of the US Economic Cooperation Administration, returned to his homeland, and issued an "Open Letter to Chinese Students In the United States". We call on students in the United States to return to China after completing their studies and build a new China.
Achievements: One of the main pioneers of China's nuclear science cause
10. Yang Zhenning
Yang Zhenning and Deng Jiaxian took a boat to the United States to study. After Deng Jiaxian returned to China, Yang Zhenning stayed in the United States to conduct research, and he himself said: The greatest regret is that he did not return to China with Deng Jiaxian to carry out construction.
In fact, science has no borders, and Yang Zhenning's research in the United States and his contribution to science are also commendable. In his later years, Yang Zhenning returned to China and actively contributed to the country, such as raising scientific research funds for Tsinghua, establishing an advanced research institute, and introducing high-end talents for the country. These are all important jobs.
Achievements: Won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Lee Jung-do for co-proposing the theory of cosmological non-conservation
This ranking is not distinguished between before and after, and there are many scientists who have returned to China to contribute to the country, such as Liang Silitong's first week, etc., and some scientists, although they have not returned to China, but their hearts are related to the motherland, they also contribute to the country's scientific cause, such as Li Yuanzhe and Ding Zhaozhong. They have all made great efforts and contributions to the introduction of advanced equipment and the arrangement of talent training for the country.
