In 1995, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to American scientists who discovered neutrinos. Soon, it was discovered that the scientist who won the Nobel Prize finally made a breakthrough by relying on the hypothesis in the paper of Chinese scientist Wang Ganchang .
But when the world regrets or even feels aggrieved for Wang Ganchang, he disapproves it and said: "The achievements in physics should still be confirmed by experiments, and honor should be given to the scientists who finally made the results."
Actually, this time Rubbing shoulders with the Nobel Prize in Physics is only one of the three times Wang Ganchang has rubbed shoulders with the Nobel Prize. He has missed the Nobel Prize in Physics several times and has been cited as a pity for China. It should be noted that since the Republic of China, he has been regarded as "the Chinese scientist most likely to win the Nobel Prize in Physics."
It is a pity that most people today know his student, Li Zhengdao who won the Nobel Prize, but few people know the name of his Wang Ganchang. Behind this abnormality is related to his special identity: he was once hidden for 17 years because he was a key scientific researcher who developed two bombs and one satellite.
Developed the nuclear bomb and the hydrogen bomb are top secrets of the country. Therefore, the leading scientific research experts are never allowed to disclose their identities (except for a few people who hold national leadership positions such as Qian Xuesen and Qian Sanqiang).
Whether it was in the 1950s and 1960s when Wang Ganchang was first engaged in nuclear research, or today, whether any country in the world will not be bullied by other countries, whether it holds an atomic bomb in its hands is an absolute weight. Therefore, the work they were responsible for was extremely important.
In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, among the scientific research experts in charge of this project at that time, the more scientists ranked at the top, the more they had to be hidden. Therefore, as the No. 1 scientific research expert, Wang Ganchang can only secretly engage in this important task under the pseudonym of "Wang Jing".
Also because he knows his importance in scientific research, in order to protect his own safety, Wang Ganchang has not disclosed anything to anyone during the 17 years of working secretly under a pseudonym. Even his wife and children have nothing to do with his career. Known.
Because he has been busy with scientific research, in the eyes of his wife Wu Yueqin, he has never been a good husband. In their marriage, she has always been the one who paid silently, and this kind of contribution has surpassed the ordinary wife to the husband several times.
Wang Ganchang when he was young
Wu Yueqin was three years older than Wang Ganchang, and their marriage was an arranged feudal marriage. The year the two were married, Wang Ganchang, who had lost his parents, was only 14 years old, and his bride, Wu Yueqin, was just 17.
At that time, Wang Ganchang was still a middle school student. His grandmother and eldest brother arranged marriage for him in such a hurry because they were afraid that Wang Ganchang, who lost his parents, would have no one to take care of in the future.
From another level, the family's purpose in arranging the wedding for Wang Ganchang is to find his "reliance". Wu Yueqin was their choice based on this consideration: she was three years older than him and was very diligent and practical. Such a woman was naturally the best person to take care of him.
Sure enough, after marriage, Wang Ganchang was taken care of by "Niangzi" (the local word for wife in Changshu), and since then, he has only devoted himself to reading.
Because of his early marriage, Wang Ganchang became a father at 15 or 6 o'clock. When he first became a father, he couldn't accept the fact that he was already a father. When he came home from Shanghai Huangpu Middle School and saw the child, he was so scared that he dared not recognize his child.
Wu Yueqin naturally couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this, but she was very good at self-comforting herself. She thought: It might be fine when he gets older.
Wu Yueqin did not expect: Wang Ganchang has not adapted to his father's role in his life, and he has not even done what a husband should do.
In 1925, Wang Ganchang, who had several children, was admitted to Tsinghua University after graduating from high school. Since then, his mind has been focused on learning and growing knowledge. Naturally, he hadn't taken care of family matters even more.
"How do the children change diapers, how do they coax the children when they cry", Wang Ganchang Tongtong never considered these issues. During
, Wu Yueqin was the only one who managed the family. She used her immature shoulders to take care of everything at home. When her husband returns home, she has to take care of his diet and daily life. This kind of life will be considered by people nowadays as "widowed childcare",It was Wu Yueqin's real life at that time.
Wang Ganchang family portrait
Wu Yueqin naturally complained about this, but she knew: no matter how much she blames him, she will not help share anything. After all, he is three years younger than herself and is used to letting his wife take care of it. all.
In 1930, Wang Ganchang was admitted to the Jiangsu Provincial Government to study abroad. In that year, he went to the Royal Wilhelm Institute of Chemistry, University of Berlin, Germany to study as a graduate student.
During the years when Wang Ganchang studied abroad, Wu Yueqin completely lived the life of a "living widow".
At that time, Wu Yueqin thought: It's okay, just wait for him to return from studying abroad. She didn't know that after her husband returned to China, her life as his wife would be even more difficult.
In April 1934, Wang Ganchang returned to China. Since then, he has served as a professor at Shandong University and Zhejiang University Physics Department.
During this time, Wu Yueqin finally saw her husband often, and they lived a seemingly normal life. But this life is only "fairly normal." Wang Ganchang is busy all day long, and he is still busy on his desk when he comes back. His world only has knowledge, learning, and training of students, but nothing else.
Wang Ganchang's children who have grown up are naturally full of complaints when they see their father like this, and their relationship with his father is becoming more and more tense. As a result, Wu Yueqin often has to say a lot of good things for him in front of the children.
Soon, as Wang Ganchang participated in the development of the nuclear bomb and the hydrogen bomb , his relationship with his family became more tense.
One day shortly after the founding of New China, Wang Ganchang received a letter from Qian Sanqiang and He Zehui. In the letter, they wrote:
"Ganchang Seniors' Desk View:
The Chinese Academy of Sciences officially announced the establishment of the news on November 1, 1949. I want to know that brother... The scientific research results in the frontier are quite abundant,It is only admired by my younger brother and is also well-known to the world. In this trip to the north, under the leadership of our common master, Mr. Wu Youxun, we will unite and cooperate to create success together. Presumably Chairman Mao Zedong’s prediction is that the realization of the Chinese nation'will appear in the world as a highly cultural nation' will not last long. I would like to inform you if I can go to Beijing as scheduled. "_P3p
Wang Ganchang, who has a passion for serving the country, immediately decided to go north after receiving this letter. He did not even ask his wife and children any opinions in advance.
Wang Ganchang and his friends
Yes, whether his wife and children can adapt to life in the north? Wang Ganchang never considered these questions. He was completely immersed in joy at the time, and all he was thinking about was how to use the country.
Because he wanted to explore the way, Therefore, all the expenses for this trip to the north were all made by Wang Ganchang himself.
In the second year of the trip, Wang Ganchang was invited by Guo Moruo, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the time, to preside over the establishment of the China Institute of Modern Physics. Work, and start nuclear physics research in New China in an all-round way.
For Wang Ganchang, who has experienced more than ten years of war, such job opportunities and positions are simply precious.
Wives and children who followed their husbands north naturally cannot adapt to the north. His children have even suffered several consecutive illnesses due to the climate and life of the country.
But when the children needed him most, Wang Ganchang, the father, was even busier. Wu Yueqin ushered in "husband all year round." Wang Ganchang was sent by the Central Committee to the Dubna Joint Research Institute in the Soviet Union in 1956. He went there for another four years. During this period, Wu Yueqin could not even see her husband.
Soon after the Soviet Union returned. In 1961, Wang Ganchang accepted a secret order to participate in the development of the atomic bomb .
Wang Ganchang
Because this work is extremely strict, he cannot disclose anything to his family. He also knows that,This goes from a few years to as many as ten or twenty years. Therefore, he must "notify" his wife.
As expected, after Wang Ganchang said that he was leaving home for a long time, Wu Yueqin was anxious, but he didn't say anything about it. Anxious, she finally got angry. She asked: "Where are you going?"
When Wang Ganchang saw his wife being angry, he had no choice but to say casually: "Xi'an, go to Xian." When he said this, he did not dare to look at his wife. , After all, this address was made up by him. Fortunately, Wu Yueqin didn't ask any more after listening.
Before leaving this time, because he knew that there was no return date, he behaved very reluctantly. Before leaving, he said to his wife with some shame: "I don't know how long it will take..."
Wu Yueqin interrupted when he listened, "I'm used to..."
Since participating in the development of the atomic bomb, there has been no "Wang Ganchang" in the world. For countless years after that, there was only "Wang Jing" and no "Wang Ganchang" in the world. ".
For this reason, Wu Yueqin and the children can't get any news about their father. They don't even know if he is still alive.
Because of a secret mission, Wang Ganchang missed the wedding of his five children. Every time the children get married, he is in the laboratory. Such an absence will naturally make the children complain.
Many years later, his daughter complained when talking about her father:
"He has not been in the house for a few years, or when he enters the house, he is locked in the house to do his own business. And as soon as we get home, we I have to follow my mother to prepare for him...Can we have no opinion on him? Alas, our father really never knew what family is!"
Wang Ganchang really has no concept of family, he doesn’t remember anything. A child's birthday, he didn't even show up when any of them needed him.
Wang Ganchang, who has no concept of family, has a deep feeling for "country". As long as the task is assigned to him by the state, he has never been too slack. In order to develop atomic and hydrogen bombs as soon as possible, he fought on the front line day and night.
Knowing that the nuclear test would damage the body, he still insisted on the test day and night. As a physicist, he knows better than anyone else that only by developing two bombs can China stand among the strongest forests in the world, and the world's anti-China forces can be scrupulous.
On October 16, 1964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated. On that day, under the black protective glasses, Wang Ganchang saw a bright light suddenly flashed from the bursting point 23 kilometers away from him. Then, after a loud noise, the earth began to tremble violently, and the huge fireball in front of him was thunderous. Carrying a hundred-meter-high sand dust, quickly lifted up a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke...
"Dean Wang, we succeeded!" "Mr. Wang, we finally succeeded!" Deng Jiaxian, , Cheng Kaijia and other scientists together to Wang Ganchang Come to congratulate him.
Wang Ganchang said with tears in his tears: "It's funny! It's so happy! It's so funny!" After Wang Ganchang's verbal phrase "too funny" popped out, the disciples couldn't help laughing.
Lop Nur After the loud noise, the awakened Western hegemonism has been reported. What is extremely interesting is that they actually guessed the host and leader behind the success of this experiment. They thought that he must be "K.C. Wang", and "K.C. Wang" is the English name of Wang Ganchang.
Immediately, the American " New York Times " and other Western media reported a large number of "anecdotes" and "rumors" of this Chinese Oppenheimer.
But shortly after this, as the special revolution unfolded, Wang Ganchang and his family were also affected. This outstanding man became a "reactionary academic authority" here, and China's nuclear weapons development process immediately fell into a terrible fate.
Who could have imagined that a national hero would suffer all kinds of hardships when he was supposed to be greatly praised, and his family would receive all kinds of unfair treatment because of him.
Fortunately, Wang Ganchang here only focuses on scientific research and does not take these in mind.However, during this period, he has to persist in scientific research, and the difficulty he has to overcome is countless times more than usual.
Sometimes, without manpower, he even had to go to the car team to borrow someone to do experiments.
In such a difficult situation, at 8:20 am on June 17, 1967, my country’s first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully. This time, the day and the earth was brightened by the strong light from the successful explosion of the hydrogen bomb. Wang Ganchang actually cried bitterly with "oooooo".
His cry is joy, and countless tears of grievance accumulated in his stomach...
Soon after the explosion, Wang Ganchang's underground nuclear test was successful. But at this moment, he received the "Order No. 1" from Vice Chairman Lin Biao: All institutions of the Beijing Ninth Academy moved to the area of and Mianyang in Sichuan.
Undoubtedly, this is a complete "relegation".
After receiving the instructions, Wang Ganchang didn't even think about it, and moved his family from Beijing to Mianyang, Sichuan. In this migration, he had already become a grandfather and brought his granddaughter with him.
After arriving in Mianyang, Wang Ganchang's family discovered that only Wang Ganchang's family had moved all the hospital-level leaders...At this time, Wang Ganchang was nearly 70 years old, but after arriving in Mianyang, he would spend hundreds of kilometers in the industrial area almost every day. Running around. Crucially, this is also an earthquake-prone area.
Wu Yueqin was naturally very worried when she saw her. While complaining about her husband, she persuaded him to worry less, but he always turned a deaf ear to what his wife said.
In 1976, Wang Ganchang, who was 70 years old, arrived at the snow-filled Qinghai-Tibet Plateau despite his wife's dissuasion. Here, he successfully conducted China's third underground nuclear test.
After the Cultural Revolution, Wang Ganchang was finally transferred back to Beijing. Only then did he re-enable the real name "Wang Ganchang". So far, he can hear people calling him "Academician Wang Ganchang" again in public.
At this time, Wang Ganchang's wife, Wu Yueqin, and the children knew that his father was one of the main scientific researchers involved in the development of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.
Wang Ganchang ended incognito,It also means that he can finally spend more time at home.
The following days are the happiest days of Wu Yueqin's life. Her old man can finally accompany herself often, and the grown-up children finally have time to talk to their father.
It’s just that, because he is absent from the growth of the children, no matter how close he gets to the children, they will never find the closeness of ordinary fathers and children. Occasionally, he will be ridiculed by his children.
Once, when Wang Ganchang was chatting with his children, he suddenly sighed and said, "There is no outstanding person in our family, hey!" As soon as his voice fell, the children countered him in unison: "That's because of us. It’s not like someone else’s family who has a father like you!”
Wang Ganchang, who heard the children’s words, asked: “What does this mean?”
When the children saw their father still did not understand, they told him straightforward "You are not like a father at all. You are dedicated to your country, but you haven't done a good job in the family and children."
After hearing this, Wang Ganchang was silent. After a long time, he sighed half-jokingly. : "It seems that I have done too poorly on the symmetry of physical phenomena at home. It is really too bad."
After this conversation, Wang Ganchang thought a lot, and realized that he owed his wife and children too much. In order to compensate, after retirement, he often walks with his wife and chats with his children. At this time, he finally knew the taste of happiness in the world.
Wang Ganchang and his wife Wu Yueqin
Unfortunately, one day in the summer of 1997, 90-year-old Wang Ganchang was hit by a bicycle when he was out for a bend. After the car accident, Wang Ganchang suffered a broken leg and required hospitalization. During that time, the 93-year-old Wu Yueqin fell down while taking care of him, and soon she passed away.
The death of his wife dealt a great blow to Wang Ganchang. After that, he often mumbled "I owe you, I can't pay it back." Soon after, his health was deteriorating and he followed his wife with guilt for his wife and children.
Regrettably, Wang Ganchang, who dedicated his life to the motherland and the people, ultimately failed to pay off the kindness he owed his wife...
