Qian Xuesen's glorious life has left us, bringing endless sorrow to the people of China. Various media reports on Qian Lao were overwhelming, and many old leaders, colleagues and media reporters braved the heavy snow to pay their respects to Qian Lao's hometown. The mourning hall is located in China Aerospace Compound, Qian's hometown, near the space bridge of Beijing West Third Ring Road. There is a small hall in the living room of Qian Lao's hometown, which can only stand four people at most, but the area of Qian Lao's whole house is less than 100 square meter.
How shocking is this? As the founder of China's space industry, Qian Xuesen was awarded the "Two Bombs and One Satellite Meritorious Medal", the honorary title of "National Outstanding Contribution Scientist" and the first-class hero model medal by the Central Military Commission. In 2007, he was awarded "Touched China Person of the Year". In 2009, it was named as one of 100 people who moved China since the founding of New China. Won so many, so heavy honors, who would have thought that our money is old, and the space dedicated to the cause of the motherland is less than 100 square meter. Qian has lived here for more than 50 years. "My family name is Qian, but I don't love money." Qian Lao once said a humorous and meaningful sentence, which may explain his lofty morality of being indifferent to fame and fortune. Hu, an academician of the International Academy of Astronautics, said in an interview that Qian Lao, like many ordinary people, lived in this old house with less than 100 square meter. He has been diligent, simple and devoted to scientific research. He also told everyone with practical actions, not forgetting hard work and plain living.
200 1, Qian Lao won the second "Fok Ying Tung Outstanding Award" with a prize of HK$ 1 million. He didn't take any money, but donated it to the Sand Grass Industry Foundation of China Association for Science and Technology. As early as 1994, he won the He Liang Heli Fund Award with a prize of1000000. As a national leader, he has lived in an old building and lived a poor life for fifty years. A camera that hasn't moved for decades, a Chinese tunic suit that has been worn for a lifetime, and a broken bag that has been used for more than 50 years, usually publishes articles jointly with others, and always gives all the manuscript fees to the collaborators.
According to many media reports, Qian Lao has long set himself the "four principles": "No inscription; Do not write a preface for others; Not attending the event; Do not accept media interviews. " Later, the "four principles" had an "upgraded version"-no concurrent appointment as any consultant or honorary consultant, no meeting in other places, no going abroad; The unit wanted to build a house for him, but he didn't agree. The article praising him in the newspaper was greeted as "so far" ...
Nowadays, some money-oriented so-called social elites are keen to show their faces, take advantage of their power or academic influence to accept "red envelopes" and even take bribes to bend the law. Under the temptation of money, I only know the pursuit of fame and fortune, forgetting my studies and my motherland and people. The sense of social responsibility has deteriorated, and some people have become spokesmen and advocates of powerful interest groups. Sad, annoying.
A giant star fell, leaving a light when it crossed the sky. And his great achievements and patriotic feelings before his death made the world admire him. We wish Qian Lao a pleasant journey. Maybe not everyone can reach the scientific height of Qian Lao, but everyone can learn from his patriotic pride of not bending over for fame and wealth and daring to give up everything for the motherland. Today, more and more people are obsessed with pursuing material comforts such as houses, tickets and cars. Can't drill the ground, who has money, let us be alert and ask ourselves?
