Positive Energy | China Spiritual Noble: He Zehui-Madame Curie of China
today,
We tell a special story,
The hero of the story,
Is a poor old man in China,
She died of illness in Beijing eight years ago.
After she left, her son came to her house,
Recalling my mother’s dribs and drabs,
I can’t help crying.
Take a closer look, and you will find that,
The home where the old man lived before his death was really shabby.
The furniture is all old things from the 1950s.
Piles of books filled the whole room.
And her own life is really sad,
The shoes I used to wear were patched three times.
In this small bed, I sleep for decades.
Presumably this poor old man,
Just an ordinary person,
But if you get to know it more carefully, you will be shocked.
becauseThis old man from China,
Her life is enough to shock the whole worldThe world!
Star in China entertainment circle,
Today, derailment can explode friends circle.
We must tell you her true story,
Because she is the real China aristocrat!
She represents the belief that our time should have,
And the true national spirit!
She is.He Zehui
In the early spring of 1914,
In March, the wind filled the forest, and the willow trees stayed in the shade.
He Jia, a clan with a ancestral home in Shanxi,
Welcome the third daughter, named He Zehui.
From birth, she was a proper aristocrat.
Because of her family background,
So prominent.
He Zehui and his sister (He Zehui on the right)
According to historical records, during the 300 years of the Qing Dynasty,
Her family produced 15 Jinshi and 29 Juren.
The imperial examination is a thousand troops crossing the wooden bridge.
But the feeling that any family just walked out of the broad road,
There is a local saying that:
There is no reason not to open a subject.
In modern times, He Jia was even more formidable!
Let’s talk about how rich it is first.
Everyone knows that Suzhou has a world cultural heritage.
Is the world-famous Netscape Garden,
And this garden is the family’s private residence!
Let’s talk about the family members, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes.
He Zehui’s father.Cheng He, members of the League,
Commissioner from the official to the Central Supervision Institute;
motherWangjishan,Physics translator;
elder sisterHe Yizhen,
China’s first female doctor of physics;
elder brotherHe Zemin, an expert in metallography;
younger brotherHe zeyong,China cytology expert;
younger sisterHe zeying,China botanist.
And her grandparents are not simple,
(maternal) grandfatherWang songweiCai Yuanpei’s teacher;
grandmotherXie changda,China famous educator,
Established Zhenhua Girls’ School (Yang Jiang’s alma mater).
Cousins, cousins, cousins,
Any one is also an elite in a million.
Wang Jilie,
China was the first translator of modern physics;
Wangji chicory, the first female doctor of chemistry in China;
Wang mingzhen, physicist;
Wang Shoujue, China semiconductor electronics scientist;
Wang Shouwu,
Pioneer and founder of semiconductor technology in China;
He Zehui’s cousin-in-lawLu Xueshan,Ge tingsui,
Are famous physicists. ……
Among them, Wang Shoujue, Wang Shouwu, Lu Xueshan, Ge Tingsui,
And He Zehui and her husband Qian Sanqiang,
All are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He Zehui (right) was with his brothers and sisters in his childhood, which was a typical upper-class family in China at that time.
In such a brilliant family with talented people,
He Zehui was also extraordinary since childhood.
Xiaowen is literate and loves reading.
More different from the old-fashioned women nearby,
Set ambitious goals early:
Learn science to serve the country and save the people from fire and water!
In China in 1932, women were still discriminated against.
At the age of 18, she dared to break through the feudal shackles.
Decided to go to college alone,
Father joked with her:
"If you don’t pass the exam, you will come back as a maid."
Unexpectedly, she entered the physics department of Tsinghua in this exam.
Become the only "female champion" of the year.
He Zehui and her sister He Yizhen (the first female doctor of physics in China)
The decision to enter the university,
Make her a great woman in the future,
Beneath her gentle face,
It hides great courage enough to set off huge waves.
College life is fleeting,
After she graduated first in physics,
With a full report on the country,
Straight to the Department of Technical Physics of the Higher Institute of Technology in Berlin,
She wants to learn something more powerful,
So as to defeat the Japanese invaders.
However, Professor Critz, the dean of the department, turned her down.
Because this department is classified by nature,
Foreigners don’t accept anything,
I won’t let a girl study ballistics.
As soon as she heard it, she argued:
"Professor,
You have been to China.When we are consultants of the Department of Military Industry,
Help us fight the Japanese invaders.
Now, in order to fight the Japanese invaders,
Come here to study this major,
Why don’t you accept me? "
Critz froze,
He didn’t expect this girl to be thin and small.
Have such a strong patriotism,
Critz was deeply moved by her.
In this way, with unparalleled courage, He Zehui,
Across the gender gap,
Became the first foreign country in the department.womanInternational students.
In 1943, she received her doctorate.
Continue to engage in nuclear physics research in Germany.
Although she was in Germany at that time,
But I miss my motherland and my family all the time.
But China was at war,
It is difficult for her to contact her relatives.
Just then, she thought of someone,
Studying in Franceqian sanqiang.
He was her classmate in Tsinghua,
Born in the same illustrious family,
He is the second son of Qian Xuantong, a great master of Chinese studies.
At that time, one was smart and the other was gentle.
Love each other, but because they are too shy,
No one said love first.
In 1936, graduation photo of the Department of Physics in Tsinghua University, the girl with long braids in the front row was 22-year-old He Zehui, and the leftmost one in the back row was 23-year-old Qian Sanqiang.
Until she wrote him a letter in Germany,
Ask him if he can report her safety to her parents,
Since then, the two have been passing books and their feelings have been warming up.
In 1945, he finally got up the courage to propose to her.
Because of wartime restrictions, letters can only be written in 25 words.
He wrote in a 25-word letter:
"I ask you to get married, and if you agree,
Please write back and I will wait for you to return to China together. "
She didn’t even hesitate after reading the letter.
Just write down:
"Thank you for your love, I will always be loyal to you.
Let’s go back to China together after we meet. "
That’s it,
She left Germany for Qian Sanqiang’s Paris,
The wedding was held in the presence of the Curies.
But because of the civil war,
They had to stay in France for the time being,
She entered the Curie laboratory to work.
Unexpectedly, she is in France,
Actually wrote a paragraph.The most brilliant chapter of scientific career!
He Zehui (left) and Elena Curie in 1946.
He Zehui, who has always been brave and independent,
Will not be content to just be the woman behind her husband,
She has enough ability to stand side by side with her lover.
She worked with her husband Qian Sanqiang,
Three-splitting and four-splitting phenomena of uranium nucleus were discovered.
These major discoveries caused great repercussions after they were announced.
Major western mainstream media are scrambling to report,
Called yes"After the Second World War,
One of the most meaningful jobs in physics ",
She is also internationally respected as,
Madame Curie of China.
At that time, this discovery that shocked the world,
Enough to win the Nobel Prize,
But because of the world’s discrimination against China,
The Nobel Prize did not distribute medals fairly.
A photo of husband and wife in Paris.
But she still attracts international attention,
Many top scientific research institutions compete to hire her.
However, at this time, she and her husband resolutely decided,
Go back to devastated China.
On the one hand, there is a high salary and excellent conditions.
On the one hand, the poor and white motherland in the war,
With their skills,
Enough to achieve greater honor in the future.
But these things,
They just give up without blinking.
In 1948,
The two went through hardships and returned to their haunted motherland.
She carried it with Qian Sanqiang,
The important task of establishing the Institute of Modern Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Without funds, skills and talents,
But in this poor place without a simple instrument,
Their blood is boiling,
At the junkyard, at the old grocery store,
In all that dust and dirt,
Looking for components that can be used.
Scientists of that era,
Words can’t describe what they have suffered,
It is impossible to measure their love for the motherland!
After several years of hard work,
The Institute of Physics has expanded to 150 people.
This is the first nuclear physics research team in New China!
Qian Sanqiang is recognized as the father of China’s atomic bomb.
But few people know,
She also worked for China’s nuclear weapons,
Made unparalleled achievements.
She went to the Soviet Union,
Find the key accelerator of nuclear energy for our country,
She also completed neutron experiments.
It provides the necessary conditions for the atomic bomb explosion.
Then, they failed to escape the catastrophe,
She was knocked down and robbed,
She and Qian Sanqiang were put in a bullpen for reeducation through labor,
The couple were tortured,
Raising pigs, cleaning toilets, being criticized …
But in such a hell on earth,
They are still at peace,
Still with endless enthusiasm for science.
By 1973, at the age of 59,
Finally ushered in a turning point in fate.
This year, the Institute of High Energy Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences was established.
She was invited to be the deputy director,
She devoted herself to her work with 100% enthusiasm.
Built in Tibet,
The highest mountain latex room in the world,
Make China one of the few at that time,
One of the countries that can produce nuclear latex.
She also developed a high-altitude scientific balloon from scratch.
And space hard x-ray detection technology.
As a woman,
Her career is highly admirable,
But what she really admires,
It’s not her turbulent career,
But her indifferent and quiet character!
She never cares about material treatment,
I have been living with my husband,
In the community in the 1950s.
The walls here are falling off and broken,
The dark corridor is covered with small advertisements for dredging sewers.
And what they live in is a small room of 20 square meters.
There is no other decoration except the wooden floor.
The unit will send her a special car to take her to work.
She resolutely refused to take the bus until she was 92 years old;
The clothes she wears are all cheap goods for more than ten yuan.
Wear a pair of liberation shoes all the year round,
She doesn’t care about food either,
A few steamed buns will satisfy her.
Even attending international conferences,
Wearing shoes with three patches,
An artificial leather schoolbag with broken straps.
Does she really have no money?
Yes, she does!
The private house she inherited, Suzhou Netscape Garden,
This is an immeasurable wealth.
But I’m afraidWorld capitalI do not know,
This rich manor,
She did not hesitate.I donated it to the country!
She is loyal to her motherland and extremely loyal to love.
And Qian Sanqiang for more than half a century,
Work together for China’s nuclear cause,
Never give up after the storm.
However, in 1992Qian Sanqiang died,
Before she left this world forever.
He left, leaving her endless thoughts,
She still lives in a shabby neighborhood,
Things in the house have hardly changed position,
Preserving the appearance of Qian Sanqiang when he was alive,
It was her eternal memory of him …
But she has more important things to do,
She’s not as tenacious as an old man in his late 80 s,
Keep all your sadness in your heart,
Still insist on going to work all day to do research.
Because this country is not strong yet,
She worked hard for it for most of her life,
Now I have to do my best,
Push it a little further, a little further. ……
At the age of 92, she accidentally fell and hurt her foot.
I still have to go to work after I recover.
The company can’t beat her, so it has to be picked up by car.
But she didn’t want to,
Finally, I reluctantly agreed to the shuttle bus in the unit.
This spirit,
Even academician Wang Dayan couldn’t help sighing:
From the beginning of a bright spring day, I go to work with my schoolbag on my back.
Please ask how old your aunt is. At 90, she is childlike.
Sometimes I don’t understand,Why are these scientists,
Can’t enjoy the welfare benefits,
I realized later,
Coming from that poor and white era,
Every penny,I can’t wait to spend it all on the country.
Don’t spend every penny on yourself.!
In 2000, Academician He Zehui was at the launch site of Shenzhou II.
Since 2005,
Premier Wen Jiabao visits her every year,
But few people know,
Probably only this old lady,
Dare to take out a little Mazar,
Greet the Prime Minister and say, "Sit here!"
Along the way, she is brave, intelligent, passionate,
Indifferent to fame and wealth,
Strange girl, who is as good as any other hero,
Finally tired, too.
On June 20, 2011,
Aft a long life journey of nearly a century,
Madame Curie of China,
The great nuclear physicist He Zehui,
Silently closed his eyes forever.
This life, her background and family background,
Are suffocating and powerful,
But there is no arrogance in her,
But plain to the dust.
Even leaving,
She is so low-key with endless light,
Without starting the slightest ripple.
And because of her husband Qian Sanqiang’s aura,
Because of her gender, but also because of her low profile,
Her name was hidden behind many scientists.
But she is no less than any legendary man,
She is the first female member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
China’s first generation of nuclear physicists,
Is a world-class scientific master,
But also a real aristocrat,
Represents the true national spirit of China!
Real aristocrats,
Not because you are born in a rich family, you live a luxurious life.
Just because everyone knows it, it’s full of style,
The true national spirit,
It is self-improvement and unswerving commitment to faith.
Always full of a pure heart,
For the endless efforts of the motherland,
Never considered the slightest request.
This is,
Admirable China aristocrats,
This is,
Really strong enough to make people look up to the national spirit!
