On the one hand, it is an earth-shattering undertaking such as developing the hydrogen bomb, and on the other hand, it is a life of silence to silence. Yu Min is the combination of these two extremes. However, through Lei Jiayin's deduction, we can closely observe Yu Min's experience in that special period. At that time, China became a nuclear power, behind which were countless unknown people like Yu Min. They ate chaff and drank salt water, and experienced a barren material life that ordinary people could not bear. At the same time, they can overcome one scientific research problem after another and create miracles.
Yu Min's experience is also the epitome of the first generation of scientists in New China. Some of them never stayed in school, and some gave up their high salaries abroad and chose to return to China to support the construction of the motherland. On the basis of new China's almost poverty-stricken scientific research, we have accomplished one major scientific research achievement after another, making new China on an equal footing with the international community in many scientific research fields.
From the older generation of scientists, we also realize that the contest of science and technology is also the contest of scientists' will; As the saying goes, "Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have national boundaries." Behind the numerous scientific research achievements made in New China, there are many scientists who have been unknown for many years, such as Yu Min. In order to make China from weak to strong, they did not hesitate to remain anonymous, devoted themselves to death, so that they could "conquer the strong with the weak" in the field of scientific research.
