His secret identity has been hidden for 30 years. During these 30 years, he has not returned home, and his father never met again until his death. My family didn't know what he was doing, and they couldn't even meet him in the same city. They were so angry that they refused to accept his letter.
No one knows that he endured misunderstandings alone, and sometimes even wanted to cry without tears, just because he shouldered an important mission and was closest to the state secret; he was unknown, and in his 90s, he was personally supported by General Secretary Xi and sat beside him, which was the backbone of the nation that deserves everyone's tribute!
His name is Huang Xuhua. After reading his story, why China is good, I believe you will have an answer in your heart -
On September 17, 2019, President Xi Jinping signed a presidential order, and 93-year-old Huang Xuhua was awarded the "Medal of the Republic."
Still remember that on November 17, 2017, a touching scene was staged in the Great Hall of the People: Seeing Huang Xuhua in his 90s standing among the representatives, General Secretary Xi Jinping moved away the chair in the front row, held Mr. Huang's hand, and repeatedly invited him to sit beside him.
Still remember that on the stage of CCTV's "Speaking Starts", Huang Lao described his experience in a casual manner. During his speech, the audience not only gave warm applause, but also wiped away tears several times. Sa Beining said: This is the most shocking and most uneasy speech I have ever heard!
Still remember that during the 120th anniversary of Shanghai Jiaotong University, he, in his 90s, resolutely pushed away the chair prepared for him during his speech and completed the speech standing all the way. He moistened his eyes for everyone present!
If you were not familiar with the name Huang Xuhua before today, then please remember him after today!
He is the chief designer of China's first generation nuclear submarine, also known as the father of China's nuclear submarines.
Mao Zedong said angrily: Nuclear submarines will be created in ten thousand years!
1958, in order to break the monopoly of nuclear submarine technology in the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, the central government approved the development of missile nuclear submarines. But no one in China knows about related technologies.
On October 1, 1959, Khrushchev visited China, and the Chinese government proposed to him to provide technical support for the development of China's nuclear submarines. Khrushchev responded arrogantly: Nuclear submarine technology is complex and it costs a lot of money. You China cannot do it. As long as we have it in the Soviet Union, we can build a joint fleet.
Chairman Mao stood up angrily after hearing this, waved his wide palm, and said, "Nuclear submarines will be created in ten thousand years!" It was such a powerful sentence that Huang Xuhua devoted his whole life to the nuclear submarine cause.
1926, Huang Xuhua was born in Haifeng County, Guangdong Province. Parents save the world and are loyal to their wealth. Seeing his parents' kindness and respect, Huang Xuhua has been determined to inherit his legacy and become a doctor since childhood. But the torrent of the times has completely disrupted his life plans.
When I was in elementary school, the July 7 Incident broke out, and most schools in coastal cities were forced to be closed. But the Japanese devils bombed more and more frequently. Every time the alarm sounded, Huang Xuhua and his classmates were hugged by the fleeing crowd and ran to the cave outside the city. The young Huang Xuhua began to think:
Why do the Japanese devils log in when they want to log in and bomb when they want to?
Why can't we Chinese people live on our own land, but have to flee everywhere and separate their wives and children?
This is precisely because China is too weak, and weak countries will be bullied and slaughtered by others. Huang Xuhua said: "I don't learn medicine anymore. I want to build aircraft and cannons. The reason why China is weak is because national defense technology is too backward."
In short, he will learn whatever he can deal with the enemy!
1945, 21-year-old Huang Xuhua was admitted to the Department of Aviation of Nanjing Central University with excellent results, but his ambition was to shipbuilding, and he was admitted to the Department of Shipbuilding of Shanghai Jiaotong University with the first place.
In 1954, under the guidance of foreign experts, he designed and manufactured the first minesweeping boat and the first submarine hunting boat in New China.
Four years later, my country's nuclear submarine project was officially launched, and Huang Xuhua was secretly summoned to Beijing.
"One day in the spring of 1958, the institute notified me to go to Beijing for a meeting, and I went there without taking anything. I only realized that we would not go back to our original unit when we arrived in Beijing."
is notified like Huang Xuhua There were 29 people in Beijing who were "conference" and were all specialized in ships. They set up a research institute code-named "19". It was not until a few days later that Marshal Nie Rongzhen personally held a meeting for everyone that Huang Xuhua understood what his mission was. ——At this meeting, the young Huang Xuhua was appointed as the chief engineer of nuclear submarine development.
It was like this. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to his parents and family, and came to Beijing alone. For 30 years, he never told his family about his work. Content, 30 years, only a mysterious 145 mailbox was left...
relied on the abacus to build a "nuclear submarine"
Research nuclear submarines have to go to sea, because of the secrets and dangers, they must stay away from people.
Huang Xuhua recalled: "After running around the sea for a few months, we chose a desolate island in the Chinese waters of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea respectively. The islands have no names and only numbers, and cannot be found on the map. In order to keep it confidential, there is no mail or phone call, and occasionally only disguised civilian ships docked to send supplies and letters. I bid farewell to my newlywed wife and took the team to the island to take root. "
Because of the need for confidentiality, Huang Xuhua's wife Li Shiying was transferred to Beijing. From then on, Huang Xuhua's family "disappeared" in front of their parents. The only way to contact was an internal mailbox numbered 145.
Huang Xuhua lives on a deserted island all year round: "The conditions are very difficult, and the wind and dust are everywhere throughout the year. "What is more difficult than the environment is that the development of nuclear submarines is difficult. How difficult is it? It is so difficult that everyone has never seen a nuclear submarine!
It is unbelievable that the team finally had physical parameters until someone brought back two children's nuclear submarine toy models from abroad. Through calculation and comparison, the toy model matched the media data they collected, which greatly increased everyone's confidence. What is unbelievable is that it was by dismantling these two nuclear submarine models that the scientific research team confirmed the content of the data. Every link in the development of
was almost a challenge. At that time, there was no computer, and all data could only rely on abacus and calculation ruler. It is often for one They will calculate day and night, racing against time. He said laughingly: Most of the key data of my country's first generation nuclear submarine comes from his abacus.
The abacus used to develop nuclear submarines
It can be seen that at that time, the difficulties that Huang Xuhua and the others overcome were not something we can describe in words! Nuclear submarines are weapons and combat fortresses that move in deep water. A steel cylinder weighing more than 3,000 tons must swim on the seabed hundreds of meters deep like whales. It must integrate dozens of professional disciplines such as navigation, missiles, computers, and nuclear reactors to make it.
The power generation of a nuclear submarine can meet the lighting electricity consumption in a medium-sized city. There are more than 10,000 valves controlled in the boat, and various instruments are expressed to thousands. The complexity of the manufacturing process can be imagined. However, all the materials and equipment on China's first-generation nuclear submarine were made by themselves!
During the Cultural Revolution, during the day, Huang Xuhua and some technical backbones had to be criticized and fought. But at night, Huang Xuhua worked overtime with everyone to make up for the lost time during the day. In 1967, Huang Xuhua was "ordered" to raise pigs, but in 1968 he was "liberated" and continued the development work day and night. The cold wind was biting in the middle of the night, and the factory construction encountered a meeting. When it came to a technical problem, he immediately opened the hot quilt, put on his work clothes, braved the severe cold of minus ten degrees or twenty degrees below the sea, climbed the mountain for more than 50 minutes, rushed to the factory, found out the technical fault, and worked with the workers until dawn.
China's first nuclear submarine,
Finally, with the joint efforts of Huang Xuhua and all engineers, China's first torpedo attack nuclear submarine was launched in 1970.
On August 1, 1974, China's first nuclear submarine was named "Long March 1" and was officially included in the naval combat sequence.
So far, China became the fifth country in the world to have a nuclear submarine.
From the establishment of the team in 1958 to the trial of China's first nuclear submarine in 1970, it was a miracle for China, which was backward in technology and had no experience. Until today, there are only 6 countries in the world that publicly claim to own nuclear submarines!
thrilling 300 meters deep diving
1988, the new model of submarine must undergo extreme depth diving tests before being delivered to the navy for use. The success of this test will directly affect whether China's nuclear submarine can become a sword of a great power, thus establishing China's voice in the world.
Deep diving test is very risky. If any weld, a pipeline, or a valve cannot withstand the seawater pressure, it will cause the boat to die.
In 1963, during the deep-sea diving test of the American ace nuclear submarine "Trench Shark", it sank into the seabed less than two hundred meters, and none of the 160 officers and soldiers survived.
1988, April 29, China's nuclear submarines also need to conduct submersible experiments according to the design limit. This nuclear submarine, built by the Chinese themselves, from the inside to the outside, can ensure that the nuclear submarine survive the extreme depth?
Before the experiment, the crew had a heavy psychological burden. Some left suicide notes to their homes, and some sang "Bloody Style". After learning about this situation, Huang Xuhua brought technical backbones to the boat to discuss the next day: "Let's do this, I'll go down with you." One sentence blew up the entire conference room. "How can the chief tutor go down?" Faced with the excitement of the crowd, 62-year-old Huang Xuhua showed the confidence and courage of a scientific and technological personnel - he said: I'll go down with you! I am the chief engineer, and I am not only responsible for this boat, but also for the lives and safety of the 170 test personnel on the boat.
nuclear submarines initially dived at 50 meters and 10 meters, and later gradually dived deeper and deeper by 5 meters and 1 meter. When they were almost 300 meters, the submarine's top hull was under huge water pressure, and multiple locations were clicking. Such a sound is 300 meters deep underwater and is creepy. Huang Xuhua was calm and directed the testers to record all relevant data until the final victory.
After success, Huang Xuhua excitedly picked up the pen and wrote a few words:
60-year-old man, ambition to explore the Dragon Palace.
Storm waves, enjoy it!
Huang Xuhua personally dived 300 meters, becoming the first person in the world to personally launch the water for deep-dive tests by the chief designer of nuclear submarines. During this deep dive test, Huang Xuhua's fundus, ears and gums were bleeding due to excessive pressure...
From then on, China's nuclear submarines slashed the waves and swam in the deep blue ocean, releasing a huge deterrent force to defend the peace of the motherland and the world.
Under the leadership of Huang Xuhua, it took my country only 13 years to complete the development path of nuclear submarine research and development that the United States and the Soviet Union would take at least 30 years to complete.

Huang Xuhua made the Chinese people's backbone straighter. But he felt guilty in front of his parents and brothers and sisters...
Loyalty to the country is the greatest filial piety
1957, Huang Xuhua returned to his hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival. The mother held his hand and said, "Your dad and I are old, you should come back and see it often..." Huang Xuhua nodded and agreed.
, from 1957 to 1986, he never returned home for thirty years, and completely cut off contact with his family and friends. His parents wrote letters many times to ask which unit he was in Beijing? What job do you do when you go to Beijing? Huang Xuhua kept silent. Because he could not return to his parents to be filial, Huang Xuhua would send ten yuan to the elderly every New Year Festival, and he could only express his filial piety.
Huang Xuhua's parents
But his father angrily returned the money sent by Huang Xuhua, and his sister also wrote a letter to scold him for "the bigger the more ignorant": Faced with the refunded remittance slip, Huang Xuhua felt mixed feelings and wanted to cry without tears, and could not explain it more.
Later, my father went to Beijing for treatment due to cerebral infarction, and his parents and siblings had no other contact information except for mailbox No. 145. When he received the letter half a year later, his father had passed away for many days... His father didn't know what his son was doing until his death, and the old man left with complaints and confusion.
In the eyes of parents, siblings, Huang Xuhua is an ungrateful and unfilial son.
In 1986, when Huang Xuhua returned to his farewell hometown, it had been 30 years since his father and brother had passed away. Looking at his mother, who was already in her 90s, who was already covered in silver hair, Huang Xuhua couldn't help but kneel down and cry.
And this time, my family still doesn’t know what he has been doing for so many years! Until a year later, in 1987, a long reportage titled "The Unknown Life" introduced in detail the life experience of the chief designer of China's nuclear submarine.
At this point, the three words Huang Xuhua were finally "decrypted"!
Huang Xuhua sent the magazine to his mother. When my mother saw that the Chief Designer Huang mentioned in it was because she had not returned to her hometown for 30 years, but was misunderstood by her younger brothers and sisters as not wanting her home, and forgot about her parents who raised him and her unfilial third son.
Mother reads this article again and again, her face full of tears and is proud. She summoned her descendants and solemnly said to everyone: "Everyone must understand the matter of the third brother (Huang Xuhua)!"
The mother's words touched Huang Xuhua very much. Huang Xuhua said that his mother's words were very meaningful to him. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help crying...
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved with both loyalty and filial piety. Huang Xuhua said: "Loyalty to the country is the greatest filial piety to his parents."
In the Spring Festival of 2014, Huang Xuhua, who was already 87 years old, was elected the top ten moving Chinese figures in 2013. The award speech at
reads: In the era of poverty and tranquility, you stand up and become the country's greatest wealth!
At the award ceremony, 87-year-old Huang Xuhua said emotionally: After several years, my work will be made public. I said in front of my father's grave: Dad, I'm here to see you, I believe you understand me like my mother.
Bai Yansong asked: Are you crying?
Old Huang choked and replied: My tears can’t be controlled!
A lifetime, no regrets!
In 2014, after the program "Touching China" was broadcast, people learned about Huang Xuhua's story. Huang Xuhua said seriously: My wife is great. Without her, I can't do anything. And his wife Li Shiying smiled and said: He, I don’t know anything in life. "
He and Li Shiying got married in 1956, and his wife gave birth to three daughters for him. After he left the house, his wife silently supported the whole family with her thin shoulders. Huang called his wife the "third-ranking wife",
noble character, excellent quality, and elegant taste. His wife called him a "Hakka". Every time Mr. Huang came back from the unit and lived in a short time, Li Shiying would joke: "Have you been a guest again? "Even the children cheered: "Dad is going home on a business trip again? "
html After they moved from a deserted island in the north to Wuhan in the 070s, Huang Xuhua's home began to have a weekend family party. He performed violin and harmonica for his wife and daughters. He interpreted and expressed his deep love for his wife and daughters in this special way. Li Shiying carried a home with her weak shoulders, making Huang Xuhua concentrate on the nuclear submarine career. Although Huang Xuhua never said a word of thanks in front of his wife, in front of the media, in front of his children, and in front of others, he always said with tears in his eyes that he owed her a lifetime, thanking her for her life without regrets.
Today, 92-year-old Huang Xuhua still He is energetic and steadily. He still wears glasses and magnifying glasses at the 719 Institute every week for 5 and a half days.
Huang Xuhua said: I am very happy that he can still work in his 90s and take care of himself completely!
Someone asked him, what is the motherland?
He replied like this: Lenin said that if he wants him to flow his blood at one time, he will flow his blood at one time; if he wants him to flow his blood at a time, he is willing to flow his blood at a time. Once a flow is a great move, many heroes are like this. What's more important is, if you want you to flow slowly at a time, can you bear it? The country needs me to flow slowly at a time, so well, I will flow slowly at a time.
From 1958 to the present, 93-year-old Huang Xuhua has been working hard for the motherland and dedicated his life without any regrets!
The flag of the Republic contains the bloody style of Huang Xuhua and his comrades!
Huang Xuhua and scientists who have made outstanding contributions to China's nuclear submarine cause
We can enjoy peace and stability. It is precisely because of "unknown" devotees like Huang Lao who have created wealth to protect generations in the era of poverty and weak motherland, and have given strength to the entire nation with their firm backbone!
"In the stormy island, he buried his head and was willing to be the pillar of silence; in the era of poverty and backbone, he stood up and became the country's greatest wealth. His life is like a submarine in the deep sea, silent, but with infinite power."
Let us pay tribute to Huang Xuhua and the backbone of all the great powers who have silently contributed to the motherland!
