Speaking of my country’s famous scientists, it’s hard not to mention Qian Xuesen, a high-achieving student who studied at Jiaotong University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a milestone in the field of scientific research. The most important thing is that when New China was first established, Qian Xuesen gave up the excellent material living conditions abroad and returned to a poor and white motherland, and cultivated a large number of new generation scientific research forces for the motherland. Qian Xuesen is also known as the "father of Chinese spaceflight" because of his outstanding contributions to scientific research.
In 1955, when Qian Xuesen returned from the United States with his wife and his own son and daughter, Qian Xuesen had only these two children. Therefore, as his only child, Qian Yonggang has attracted much attention since his childhood. Everyone Full of curiosity about his future development, can he replicate his father's success and glory? Can you become the second Qian Xuesen?
In 1947, 36-year-old Qian Xuesen became a full professor at MIT. He married Jiang Ying shortly afterwards and gave birth to a pair of children. The family has been living in the United States. After the founding of New China, Qian Xuesen, who was far away in the United States, was extremely happy. He immediately wanted to return to the embrace of the motherland and use his knowledge to serve the motherland.
However, because of Qian Xuesen's position in the field of scientific research, his journey back to China was full of difficulties and obstacles. In 1950, he had already bought a plane ticket and wanted to return home with his wife and children. However, due to various despicable operations in the United States, it was not until 1955 that Qian Xuesen realized his dream of returning to China.
Qian Yonggang was 7 years old at the time. After returning to China, Qian Xuesen was not strict with Qian Yonggang. He did not require his son to follow the same path as himself. He was tolerant and kind, and always guided his son to grow up like a senior. Therefore, Qian Yonggang's childhood was free and full of childishness, and he never felt the pressure from outside.
is just the special movement that started in the 1960s, which made Qian Yonggang lose the opportunity to study. In 1969, Qian Yonggang made an amazing decision to join the army. Qian Xuesen did not stop him, but instead Tell him that you just need to make sure this is what you want to do.
In this way, Qian Yonggang became a soldier, but because of the wave of thought at that time, Qian Yonggang was discriminated against as a child from an intellectual family. No matter how hard he tried, everyone still had a big prejudice against his origin. . However, Qian Yonggang did not give up, he became a technical job in the army.
Fortunately, Qian Yonggang, who is troubled by his situation, has a good time to change his life again. The college entrance examination has resumed. In this college entrance examination, he won at the age of 34. After graduation, he entered the California Institute of Technology, and successfully obtained a master's degree in 1988. It is worth mentioning that Qian Yonggang was exempted to enter the California Institute of Technology. This was mainly due to the promise of the Dean of the California Institute of Technology to Qian Xuesen. In the end, the dean fulfilled his promise and Qian Yonggang was exempted to enter the Processing Technology Institute.
In fact, if he did not drop out of school at the beginning, then his life might be completely different from now, maybe he would succeed decades earlier. Today, Qian Yonggang is also a leader in the computer industry. After returning to China, he has been engaged in the development of computer software technology for a long time and has become a senior engineer. Since 2004, Qian Yonggang has successively become visiting professors in many universities and served as the dean of many Qian Xuesen colleges. In his later years, Qian Yonggang has been engaged in education and also served as a consultant for Xi'an Innovation Education.
Although Qian Yonggang suffered a lot of grievances because of his father's relationship, he never told his family members. He was also very grateful for his father's unconditional support during those years. There is an old Chinese saying that goes like this: "Heaven comes down to the people, and he must first suffer from his will, his muscles and bones, his body hungry, and his body empty."
Every successful person will experience more or less hardships and setbacks before becoming famous. I believe that God gave Qian Yonggang so many tests just to make him go higher and further in his next life.
