2. World-renowned scientist, aerodynamicist, founder of manned space flight in China, academician of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering, winner of China's two bombs and one satellite meritorious medal, known as "the father of China's space flight", "the father of China's missiles", "the father of China's automatic control" and "the king of rockets", the launch of China missiles and atomic bombs was advanced by at least 20 years due to Qian Xuesen's return to China.
3. 1934, graduated from national chiao tung university Institute of Mechanical and Power Engineering, and was once a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. Thanks to the efforts of President Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai, he returned to China.
Qian Xuesen's adolescence was spent in the artillery fire of imperialist aggression against China. At first, his wish was to build a train for China to resist foreign invasion. Therefore, after graduating from the middle school attached to Beijing Normal University, he was admitted to department of mechanical engineering (Railway Gate) of Jiaotong University (now the predecessor of Xi Jiaotong University and Shanghai Jiaotong University).
5. However, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1932 "1.28", the 19th Route Army failed under the double pressure of compromise between the Japanese air force and the Kuomintang government. At this time, Qian Xuesen was eager to contribute to the prosperity of the country and the nation, so he turned from manufacturing locomotives to designing and manufacturing airplanes.
6. 1935, Qian Xuesen got the opportunity to study in the United States and came to the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of MIT to study aircraft design and manufacturing.
7. On one occasion, an American classmate expressed contempt for China people who smoked opium and bound their feet in a chat. Qian Xuesen righteously said to him, "China, as a country, lags behind you and the United States, but as an individual, we are better than others. Who dares to compare with me? "
8. On another occasion, a professor gave a difficult paper, and most of the class failed, which caused everyone's dissatisfaction and clamored to go to the professor's office. When they walked to the door, they found a neat and error-free test paper posted on the door. Looking closer, it was Qian Xuesen's, and the students suddenly calmed down, afraid to push the door and go in to find the professor's theory.
