Which of the two founding fathers of our country was awarded a martyr?

Today, when we walked into the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there was a white half-man statue in a quiet courtyard surrounded by green trees. It says: Professor Guo Yonghuai (1909? 1968)。

Guo Yonghuai in the statue, with unbroken hair, deep eyes and calm expression, is staring into the distance. Everyone passing by here will look at Professor Guo's body with gratitude and pay deep respect to him. Even after more than 50 years, he still lives in the heart of everyone in China and will live forever. This is an unparalleled nation, which is worth remembering forever.

1909 On April 4th, Guo Yonghuai was born in guo jia cun, Rongcheng County. The Guo family is an ordinary peasant family with a poor family. Guo Yonghuai didn't go to school until she was 9 years old. But with his extraordinary talent and hard work, his achievements have always been outstanding.

All the way through, he was admitted to Peking University at the age of 22 and studied under the famous physicist Mr. Rao Yutai.

1937, the Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way, Peking University moved westward, and formed the National Southwest Associated University with Tsinghua and Nankai. Guo Yonghuai also trudged all the way to Kunming with his teachers and students. Along the way, Japanese planes bombed constantly, and many students and innocent people were killed in the air raid, but our army had no resistance and could only hide around and suffer humiliation.

Seeing all this, Guo Yonghuai was torn. He vowed to learn aviation technology, build the most advanced plane for China, and stop being a fish. 1938 The seventh publicly-funded study abroad exam of Zhongying Geng started, which is an excellent opportunity to study abroad. Guo Yonghuai, Qian Weichang, Lin Jiaqiao and others all took part in the exam. Because everyone holds the common idea of saving the world and people, they all applied for aerospace engineering. There is only one admission quota, but more than 50 people have signed up. The final exam results came out, and Guo Yonghuai scored exactly the same, tied for first place.

This makes everyone feel embarrassed. Finally, under the full mediation of Ye and Zhou Peiyuan, three outstanding young people set foot on a cruise ship to study abroad.

But it's not that simple. A few days later, three young people got off the boat. It turned out that they were told that the ship would call at Yokohama, Japan for a three-day visit and accept a visa from the Japanese government.

At this time, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has been fighting for three years, which is a naked insult to the people of China. Twenty-two overseas students from China disembarked collectively and said no with blood and dignity.

An old pioneer lost his horse-a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Eight months later, the University of Toronto issued an invitation to study abroad, and Guo Yonghuai and others finally realized their dream of further study. This time, he chose the department of applied mathematics. 1940, Guo Yonghuai embarked on the road of going abroad, and this trip 16.

At the University of Toronto, Guo Yonghuai got her master's degree in less than half a year, and has been preparing for her doctoral research since then. Young and energetic, he bravely chose the most difficult aerodynamics at that time? Transonic flow research? Therefore, Guo Yonghuai came to California Institute of Technology and studied there? Father of aviation? Master of fluid mechanics Feng? Carmen, specializing in aerodynamics. It is worth mentioning that he also met a lifelong friend and confidant-Qian Xuesen.

65438-0945, Dr. Guo Yonghuai graduated smoothly and stayed as a researcher. At this time, Cornell University opened the Graduate School of Aerospace Engineering, and von Carmen Guo Yonghuai went to Cornell for research and teaching.

At this time, the United States was far ahead of the world in scientific and technological research, especially the dropping of two atomic bombs prompted the Japanese to surrender, which shocked the whole world. Guo Yonghuai also has deep worries in his heart. He knew that in recent years, the level of science and technology in China has not made substantial progress, and the gap between China and the world is widening due to years of war. Time waits for no one, and Guo Yonghuai is more eager to learn the real skills and return to China.

On the first day at Cornell, he issued a statement: I will return to China sooner or later, and don't let me engage in research on confidential projects!

Gold always shines. At that time, the history of human flight encountered an insurmountable obstacle-the sound barrier. To put it simply, when the speed of the aircraft approaches the speed of sound, it will produce severe resistance, which will cause the aircraft to shake violently and even cause operational failure. Many scientists even think pessimistically that this problem will never be overcome.

But Guo Yonghuai did not believe in evil, so he had to do the most advanced research. He chose a super difficult topic for himself, which is to overcome the sound barrier. Through unremitting efforts, he successfully invented a brand-new calculation method, and drilled a crucial first hole to break through the sound barrier. Qian Xuesen excitedly named this calculation method? PLK method? K stands for Guo Yonghuai.

With the release of research results, Guo Yonghuai has become more and more famous and has a high social status and scientific research conditions in the United States.

1949, New China was born. Guo Yonghuai and others in the United States are full of passion. They yearn for the motherland wholeheartedly, and look forward to returning to the five-star red flag as soon as possible day and night to contribute their own strength to the construction of the motherland.

As early as 1947, Qian Weichang, Zhou Peiyuan and others had already returned to China via Europe. Guo Yonghuai also began to actively seek opportunities, but the performance of Qian Weichang and others after returning to China made the United States see the great energy of these China researchers, so it stepped up its control over the scientists still stranded in the United States.

Qian Xuesen and Guo Yonghuai's requests to return to China were repeatedly rejected, and there were always people from the Immigration Bureau looking for various reasons to investigate and even search them. Guo Yonghuai was indignant, but he was helpless, so he had to bide his time.

1954, the Korean War armistice agreement was signed, and the relationship between the two sides ushered in a new turn. The United States lifted the ban on scientists returning from China. Heavyweight masters such as Qian Xuesen and Zhao Zhongyao couldn't wait to submit their applications for returning to China, but the Americans had to seal their consent. At this moment, however, Guo Yonghuai only promised to host a scientific research project. Although he is eager to return to China, he can only choose to wait for another year.

1956, after returning to China, Qian Xuesen, who has been the director of the Institute of Mechanics, wrote a letter to Guo Yonghuai, in which his hope of returning to China jumped to the paper. At this time, Guo Yonghuai has been preparing for his return to China.

The news that Guo Yonghuai was leaving was learned by colleagues and friends. Many people came to persuade them to do research in America. With superior conditions and generous treatment, their children can get the best education. Why did they go back to that poor country? Are these all? Goodwill? Suggestions, Guo Yonghuai just laughed it off, he has something to say, but not at this time.

On the eve of returning home, his brother Sears held a farewell banquet for him. At the banquet, Guo Yonghuai, who has always been taciturn, did something that shocked everyone. In front of the guests, he threw all the research manuscripts page by page into the fire. These priceless manuscripts were painted with black powder and scattered in the wind. There was a voice of regret around.

Guo Yonghuai a face of calm. When the last page was burned out, he firmly said to everyone: My country is poor, which is the incompetence of being a son and the shame of our generation! As a native of China, I have the responsibility to return to my motherland and build its rivers and mountains.

Seeing his firm expression, everyone gave up the idea of discouraging him.

Sitting on the returning boat, the people from the US Immigration Service appeared again. They searched out the precious manuscripts of other scientists in the same industry. Only Guo Yonghuai had the foresight. Although the manuscript was burned, the research results have long been deeply engraved in his mind, and no one can do without it.

Qian Xuesen appreciates this little teacher younger brother. He once said to people: everyone says I can top the fifth division. If so, Guo Yonghuai will be in the top ten!

Shortly after returning to China, with the recommendation of Qian Xuesen, Guo Yonghuai became the deputy director of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and plunged into a new job. Two people, one focusing on planning and the other on implementation, led China's mechanical research to quickly approach the advanced level in the world.

Time is pressing. Modern China lags behind the world so much that we have no time, so we have to try our best to catch up. These days, Guo Yonghuai gave up all entertainment. He donated two boxes of new records brought back from America to radio and TV stations, and two hard-won stamps were also given to the post office. His favorite photography was no longer touched, and he devoted himself to his work day and night.

Guo Yonghuai left in a hurry in the middle of a table tennis match held by the workers' sports team. People asked him in surprise, wasn't the game wonderful? Guo Yonghuai replied: China played very well and won honor for his country. I will also continue my research soon and strive to win glory for my country.

At that time, the international situation was very sinister for New China, and the United States repeatedly threatened nuclear weapons. The great man was angry and angrily instructed: even if you sell iron in a pan, you will build an atomic bomb!

The State has established the Ninth Research Institute, which is responsible for the research of the two bombs. Qian Weichang is the chief designer, and he invited Guo Yonghuai. Hearing the purpose of Qian Weichang, Guo Yonghuai agreed without hesitation. The Ninth Hospital is divided into three departments, namely, comprehensive department, theoretical department and experimental department. Guo Yonghuai is the director of the General Department, and Peng and Wang are in charge of the other two departments.

Arriving at Qinghai Experimental Base, Guo Yonghuai once again started the race against time. He knew that the development of nuclear weapons was a life-and-death test for the new China. In Qinghai, he never sleeps on a spring bed, because it hurts to turn over, so he won't sleep to death. In order to speed up the progress, he even stirred the gunpowder himself, which surprised his colleagues into a cold sweat and gave everyone present a sense of urgency.

Finally, with the unremitting efforts of everyone, China's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated on June 1964 10. At the celebration, the great man waved his excited hand: With the atomic bomb, can the hydrogen bomb be far behind?

After a short celebration, everyone went back to work and continued to study the hydrogen bomb day and night. Guo Yonghuai worked harder. He grew old day by day, and his hair began to turn white, especially the back of his head, which was completely white.

After more than two months of painstaking research, on February 4th, 1968+65438, Guo Yonghuai discovered an important data, which is very important for the development of the whole hydrogen bomb. He can't wait to report to Beijing. He heard that there was a plane flying to Beijing in Lanzhou at night, so he went to Lanzhou by car. It was very late when he arrived, and people around him advised him that it was not safe to fly at night, but Guo Yonghuai insisted on flying. Time is life, and he doesn't want to waste a spark of time.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Guo Yonghuai's life was always fixed on this day, and the plane crashed unexpectedly. He lost his balance in the air 400 meters away from Beijing Airport and fell obliquely in the corn field 1 km away. The fire soared into the sky and lit up half the airport.

When people arrived, two bodies hugging each other attracted everyone's attention, and one of them had a little white hair on the back of his head.

The guards tried their best to separate the bodies, revealing a pile of hydrogen bomb research data intact in the middle. Everyone present couldn't help crying. Some people spontaneously knelt down. For this talent envied by God, God has no eyes, but people's eyes are discerning. They gave the highest courtesy to this national who has devoted his life to the country and the people.

Twenty days later, he was chased as a martyr;

1988, Chinese Academy of Sciences completed his white marble statue;

1999, won the medal of two bombs and one star;

In 20 18, an asteroid was permanently named after him;

Decades have passed, and the people of China have never forgotten that they will always miss this sincere son of the people of China, and we will always miss our children and grandchildren.

Guo Yonghuai's story is over. In fact, there are many researchers who have devoted their lives to New China in obscurity like him. They are the backbone of the country, and they are pinning the hope of national rejuvenation in our country. Our happy days today were bought by these respectable predecessors with their lives and blood.

However, nowadays, fewer and fewer people in society know them, especially our next generation, the flowers of the motherland. They only know that those stars and actors want to be online celebrities and actors when they grow up. This is the sorrow of the nation and the dereliction of duty of our parents.
