Deng Jiaxian, a world-famous name known to all women and children, is a great physicist who deserves our eternal admiration, mourning and study.
I watched the film Deng Jiaxian with reverence and a little curiosity.
In flashback, the film begins with Qian Sanqiang, then vice minister of the Second Machinery Department, asking Deng Jiaxian if he would like to take part in the national fireworks display, which reproduces for us the 28 years when Deng Jiaxian, a great physicist, made selfless contributions to the motherland until his life ran out.
This movie touched me a lot, and some clips made me remember deeply and felt a lot.
When Qian Sanqiang, then vice minister of the Second Machinery Department, asked him if he would like to participate in a national "big firecracker" program that requires strict confidentiality and anonymity from now on, he did not hesitate, but said excitedly: The country will finally build its own nuclear weapons! He is always looking forward to contributing his strength to the motherland! So when asked about him, I will feel excited without hesitation.
Of course, there are some worries after the excitement. From then on, I can't take care of my family and stay with my family. Maybe it's guilt When his daughter asked him to take her to the zoo to see tigers, he replied to see mice. Is it funny? Not at all. It is important to give up one's family for the country, but human nature will inevitably think of one's family. Ask yourself, if we have to make such a big sacrifice for everyone, will we not hesitate to agree? It's not that he doesn't care about his family, but for everyone, he can only give up his family!
After returning to work, the country made up its mind to build an atomic bomb, but some of them were just international students transferred back from the Soviet Union, a group of students found in domestic universities, and the uranium enrichment plant, atomic bomb assembly plant and nuclear test base mentioned by the general.
How to start? We must take these students to see the nuclear experts first. As the saying goes, it is easier said than done. But Deng Jiaxian accepted this arduous task without complaint.
Since then, he has completely disappeared from the sight of his family and the world and devoted himself to the development of the atomic bomb. Shuttle between the research institute and the experimental field. Lead everyone to design, go down to the experimental base in person, check the progress of the experiment and observe the experiment. Facing the so-called Soviet aid, it didn't come in the end. He is tireless, leading everyone to explore bit by bit and persevere. Even once there was something wrong with the experiment, he went to check it in person regardless of the danger, and he did not hesitate to pick up the debris when he saw it. I didn't react until I confirmed the problem. This is an extremely dangerous article with nuclear radiation, so I quickly threw it away. It's normal to be anxious. Are you really not afraid to die for your country? It is unrealistic to say that you are not afraid. People have the instinct to survive. Only with the support of another firm belief, even so, fear can go forward bravely. Heroes are people, not gods!
For the motherland, obscurity, silent dedication under difficult conditions. However, in the turbulent Cultural Revolution, it was still not spared. After returning to Beijing, he saw that his colleagues were criticized, and he stepped forward to open the way for them. People in the same trade told him helplessly, go home and have a look, your home has also been copied. I hurried home, looking at the messy home and my haggard wife sitting at home. He joked that he thought he was at the wrong door. Most of the words are helpless, but there are still no complaints. Even later, because of the failure of an experiment, the collective was asked to reflect on unwarranted problems and mistakes and suffered inhuman treatment. At the critical moment, fortunately, Yang Zhenning, a classmate friend, returned to China and asked to see him, so that he could return to Beijing to avoid a bullet. Such a scene makes people feel sad, but a great physicist has to escape in this way. Perhaps this is the irrationality of the Cultural Revolution. Others feel sad, too, but as a party, he has put up with it. What supports him is undoubtedly the fiery "China Heart" and deep love for the country.
When I returned to Beijing to meet my old friend Yang Zhenning, my old classmates asked me what I had been doing these years, but I could only prevaricate with the words "My home is still in Beijing". Friends talked about interesting things when studying abroad, which Deng Jiaxian can hardly remember. Under political conditions, we can't answer friends' questions, but we can't help answering them. In the end, it can only be ambiguous. Friends keep making topics, but they still have nothing to say. Be careful with your friends, no one will feel better. A good friend brought him an idyllic record. He smiled in surprise, which made people feel a little lost. He almost forgot that he had such a hobby.
Seeing my friend off, my friend told me a long-held question: Is it true that Americans helped China build atomic bombs in foreign countries? Deng Jiaxian expression humbled, but couldn't answer. He had to ask the meaning of the country first and how to answer such a question. When I got home, I got a call from the State Council. The Prime Minister instructed me to answer truthfully: China people built it with their own strength. He immediately began to write letters, his face full of excitement. Yang Zhenning, a good friend who got this affirmative answer, was also very excited and cried excitedly. It can be seen how deeply the predecessors love the motherland.
The surging Cultural Revolution has finally passed, and the scientific research environment has gradually improved. Deng Jiaxian became the director of the Institute of Engineering Physics, but this is the first time for his wife to enter the Ninth Hospital where he works. His wife is coming, but Deng Jiaxian is worried and has no place to live. The doorman lives with him straight away! He is worried that the place where he lives is also the place where everyone in the college discusses work, and he is afraid that it will not meet the confidentiality clause. Yes, his studio is confidential and strictly confidential, so he has lived a bachelor life for more than 20 years. See his wife, but they are old. He devoted his life to the motherland, to the people and to his life silently. Worried about eating, the guard said that expert Sacido wanted to fight, but he was considering distinguishing between public and private.
The project was progressing steadily, but he collapsed himself. When he realized that he had been in direct contact with nuclear materials, he knew that he would have this day. What he didn't expect was that this day came so quickly. Lying in the hospital bed, he is still thinking about examination and research. Even he has been lying in bed. He is still dictating his views and plans on nuclear research, thinking that we can't leave others behind too much!
In just 100 minute, Deng Jiaxian's twenty-eight years of selfless dedication to the motherland are reproduced. His love for the motherland has turned into his silent dedication for 28 years. No matter how the motherland treats him, he has no complaints. A strong motherland is his greatest happiness.
I was moved by his patriotic feelings. Look at some people around me today, longing for a foreign country and trying to go abroad. Of course, I have no objection to studying abroad. After all, our technology is really inferior to others. We need to go out and learn advanced technologies and theories from others. However, there are very few international students who really return to China. Some people covet the superior living conditions abroad, but they have to find a high-sounding reason for themselves, clamoring for science without borders. Is science really borderless? Even if science has no borders, scientists also have their motherland! I often hear people say how good foreign countries are, how good the environment is and how good the welfare is. But those advantages are not based on exporting high-tech products at sky-high prices and importing low-tech products with high energy consumption at low prices. Maybe people who go abroad will say that this is also the responsibility of all citizens! But don't forget, the country has given you several opportunities to receive higher education and invested a lot to receive excellent higher education. Is it because one day you can use what you have learned to make huge profits for foreign countries from the motherland that raised you, and then create benefits for foreign citizens? I agree with the older generation of scientists who criticize the younger generation for their lack of faith. Really, everyone is busy every day for their own petty profits. Forgot a lot! Of course, there are many capable people, and ordinary people just do their jobs well. However, ask yourself, have we all done our jobs?
I admire Deng Jiaxian very much. I admire him for not being afraid of difficulties, resolutely giving up the superior material conditions abroad and returning to the poor motherland to engage in heavy scientific research tasks in a difficult environment. I admire him for having no regrets about his motherland. No matter how the motherland treats him, he still has no complaints. I admire his deep love for the motherland and his fiery China heart.
Deng Jiaxian's life, thought for a long time, but can't find a suitable word to summarize, can think of words, seems to be very light on him. General Zhang Aiping's eulogy summed up his life well. Here's a loan: I traveled all over the Gobi grassland, 25 years ago. Even if it passes a thousand times, the team will fight for the first place, and the audio will be transmitted every year. Disdain nuclear blackmail, Chinese innovation. You regard fame and fortune as dirt, and you are a powerful country. I mourn your early death. I have made great contributions to the world.
Nowadays, we always resist and refuse to educate the younger generation in patriotism. Deng Jiaxian, a biography of a great man, gave us the deepest patriotic education. Always push us: Remember that you are from China! We can't lag behind others too much!
