"I wish to pledge myself to the country"
In China's history, there has never been a shortage of patriots who pledge their lives to the country, but even so, it is not easy to do so.
"Living by example" means that you have to give up many things, including your family, your career, and even the risk of sacrifice at any time. But in order to fulfill our oath and the strength of the motherland, we have no choice but to sacrifice the small self and complete the big self.
There was once such a great patriotic scientist in the history of our country, and he was Wang Ganchang, the founder of china's two bombs and one star, who gave up the opportunity to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for the sake of China's nuclear physics cause.
The pseudonym Wang Jing for 17 years, later in a meeting by his own student Deng Jia called out his real name, after being called out his real name, the two teachers and students actually hugged their headaches and cried.
Why would Wang Ganchang choose to give up the opportunity to win the Nobel Prize and choose to hide his name? How many legends are there in Mr. Wang Ganchang's body.
At the beginning of the last century, Mr. Wang Ganchang was born in a small town in Jiangsu. Why has Mr. Wang Ganchang been able to achieve so much scientific achievement? I think it is inseparable from the following aspects:
First, Mr. Wang Ganchang's hard work. Mr. Wang Ganchang cherishes the opportunity to go to school and hopes to use what he has learned to contribute to the country. After graduating from high school, Mr. Wang Ganchang also enrolled in a special class in order to improve his foreign language level, which provided great help for him to study abroad in the future.
Mr. Wang Ganchang applied for physics majors in college, which was still relatively unpopular at the time, and many of his friends around him applied for popular finance and law majors.
Many people think that physics is difficult to learn, and if they are well learned, there will be no success in the future. But Mr. Wang Ganchang does not think so, he knows that physics has great potential, so he likes to specialize in physics.
Because of his excellent grades and outstanding performance during his time at the school, he was left to teach at the school. However, Mr. Wang Ganchang still wants to further expand his knowledge and horizons.
Therefore, he continued to study hard, and finally won the opportunity to study at public expense, and the place he went to was Berlin, Germany, where many well-known physicists gathered at that time.
Second, studying abroad helped him open up his mind and get the advice of famous teachers. While studying in Berlin, Germany, Mr. Wang Ganchang had the privilege of studying under the famous nuclear physicist Meitner. Under the guidance of Meitner, Wang Ganchang has published many sensational papers and successfully obtained a doctorate.
It is worth mentioning that the neutron idea discussed by Wang Ganchang during his study abroad helped a British scientist win the Nobel Prize, which shows the high academic level of Mr. Wang Ganchang.
Third, Mr. Wang Ganchang has a strong ability to learn and explore. Mr. Wang Ganchang has always shown strong learning ability in the process of studying, from studying abroad at public expense to obtaining a doctorate abroad, and has also been invited to many European countries for academic visits, and has been praised by many famous experts and scholars abroad.
Mr. Wang Ganchang is also a person who likes to explore the unknown. For example, choose unpopular physics, put forward neutron ideas, and so on.
With his hard work and the guidance of famous teachers, Mr. Wang Ganchang slowly grew from a young man who was ignorant of physics to a great nuclear physicist.
After completing his studies in Germany, Mr. Wang Ganchang, who was full of enthusiasm for serving the country, returned to the motherland, cultivated many talents for the motherland, and made great achievements.
After returning from Germany, Mr. Wang Ganchang now teaches physics at many universities in China. During this period, he has trained a large number of outstanding young people. Among them, there are Deng Jiaxian and Li Zhengdao, who later won the Nobel Prize.
After the founding of New China, he began to run and busy for the nuclear cause of New China, and he hid his name in anonymity. In 1961, Mr. Wang Ganchang, who had just returned from the Soviet Union, was invited to the office of the relevant leader of the nuclear department, and the reason why the leader sought him was very simple.
One is to hope that he can participate in China's nuclear tests and that he will abandon the direction of his current research. The second is to ask him if he can change his name in order to strengthen confidentiality.
After Mr. Wang Ganchang listened, he immediately said that he was willing to change his name and wrote "Wang Jing" in his own handwriting as his new name. And immediately said: I am willing to pledge myself to the country.
Although it is a simple 6 words, his weight is not small at all. This means that he can no longer show his face and publish his own academic reports, and he has lost the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize. However, Mr. Wang Ganchang did not regret it.
Since then, Mr. Wang Ganchang, under the name of Wang Jing, disappeared for a full 17 years, has not been known, and has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development of nuclear weapons, and his family's contact information with him can only rely on letters, and nothing else is known.
The experiment of nuclear weapons was undoubtedly very difficult and arduous, but Mr. Wang Ganchang still insisted on rushing to develop nuclear weapons.
For the sake of China's first nuclear test, Mr. Wang Ganchang can be said to have worked hard. At the time of the first underground nuclear test, it was a special period, and many of the scientific and technological personnel involved in the work were shocked and affected.
Therefore, the nuclear test base was basically in a semi-paralyzed state, and in the face of such a situation, Wang Ganchang was heartbroken, so he took the initiative to contact and persuade, hoping that everyone could focus on work, and finally with Wang Ganchang's efforts, the experiment was completed.
During the special period, Wang Ganchang braved the 70-year-old age to wade through the mountains and rivers and busily, and had to be amazing! Because of his work, his student Deng Jiaxian had the honor of working with this mentor to jointly contribute to the development of nuclear weapons in the motherland.
Once, at a Chinese New Year's Eve party, Mr. Wang Ganchang and his student Deng Jiaxian met unexpectedly, and when the two of them put wine together, and when the wine was strong, Deng Jiaxian said: I have called Wang Jing for decades, so let me call Comrade Wang Ganchang once! After saying that, the two of them burst into tears.
On Mr. Wang Ganchang's 90th birthday, he said: The two things he is most satisfied with in this life are his research results, that is, his wife and children.
In the ups and downs of Mr. Wang Ganchang's life, there is always a remarkable woman standing behind him, that is, his wife, Ms. Wu Yueqin.
When he was seriously ill, Ms. Wu Yueqin sought medical treatment for him, and when he studied abroad, he took two children with him. In the 17 years of disappearing, she once again held up a home by herself. And, of course, there are many touching experiences.
After the death of his wife, because of his extreme sadness, coupled with his own serious illness, gradually his health did not work, and not long after the death of his wife, a generation of scientific masters Mr. Wang Ganchang also left the world, which is deplorable.
In the face of the needs of the country, Mr. Wang Ganchang did not hesitate to say: I am willing to pledge myself to the country. Mr. Wang Ganchang has been practicing the vows he has made with his own practical actions.
This is the great patriotic scientist Mr. Wang Ganchang, which is admirable!
