After the spy got out of prison, he emigrated.

Qian Xuesen 1955 returned to China, so how much attention does the state pay to him? You can tell from the funeral specifications.

Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist in China, died in Beijing at 8: 06 on June 365438+1October 2009 at the age of 98. On the same day, the official media released the news of Qian Xuesen's death to the whole society:

Qian Xuesen is a pioneer and outstanding representative of space science and technology in China, and has made great contributions to the development of sophisticated weapons. He is known as "the father of China's space flight", "the father of Chinese missiles", "the king of China's rockets" and "the father of China's automatic control". These titles are universally recognized, and any one of them is beyond the reach of countless scientists in their lifetime.

However, Qian Xuesen opposed being labeled as the "father of the country". As early as 1992, Qian Xuesen wrote:

"It is unscientific to call me the father of missiles. Because missile and satellite work is a "big science", it can only be completed with the concerted efforts of millions of people in Qi Xin. There are hundreds of people in charge of computer science and technology alone, so there is no "father". I am just a small sesame seed in the great scientific research project led by the party and participated by millions of scientific and technological workers, which is nothing. All achievements belong to the party and to the collective! "

On the day of Qian Xuesen's death, a simple mourning hall was set up in his home at No.8 Aerospace Compound, Fucheng Road, Beijing. Qian Xuesen's family has lived here since the 1960s. Except for the guard at the door, his house is no different from ordinary people. The interior furnishings are simple and generous, and the furniture and floor are a little old because of their age.

As Qian Yonggang said, even people who have never been to Qian Xuesen's home can easily find the place they want to go in the big courtyard of the aviation compound. At that time, the old red brick building where Qian Xuesen lived was surrounded by wreaths. Many foreigners have no contact with Qian Xuesen, but after hearing the news, they spontaneously came to offer their condolences.

According to the funeral process, the farewell ceremony of Qian Xuesen's body was held in the auditorium of Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing on165438+1October 6. On that day, the auditorium was solemn, and a banner was hung directly above the auditorium, which read "Deeply mourn Comrade Qian Xuesen". Below the banner is a portrait of Qian Xuesen. There are two wreaths directly below the portrait. One was given by Qian Xuesen's children, and the elegiac couplet read "Dad, you will live in our hearts forever". Another wreath was presented by Qian Xuesen's grandchildren, which read "Grandpa, we will always miss you".

Qian Xuesen's body was placed among cypress flowers, covering producers in party flag and China. In front of the body, there was a wreath sent by Mrs. Jiang Ying of Qian Xuesen. After the farewell ceremony of "Xue Sen's Peace of Mind" was written on the elegiac couplet, all the party and state leaders were present. They first bowed deeply to Qian Xuesen's body, and then shook hands with his family to express their condolences.

At the memorial service, Jiang Ying looked at Qian Xuesen's body and cried for a while. At about 10 in the morning, people entered the farewell ceremony of the body and said their final farewell to Qian Xuesen. According to incomplete statistics, during Qian Xuesen's funeral, hundreds of thousands of people came to the scene to bid farewell. After the farewell ceremony, when Qian Xuesen's body was ready to be cremated, the honor guards of the three armed forces carried the coffin for Qian Xuesen, and the coffin was covered with party flag.

There is no doubt that the specifications of Qian Xuesen's funeral are extremely high, but it is also deserved. You can make a long speech about Qian Xuesen's contribution, but in my opinion, there is a passage that is the most in place. Qian Xuesen was one of the people who moved China in 2007. The awarding words given to him by the organizing committee are:

Regarding his father's great achievements, Qian Yonggang said, "He has a sense of historical responsibility as an intellectual in China. He believes that as a scholar, he should use his skills to serve the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation. His consciousness is very strong. More importantly, be a low-key person and always keep a low profile for fame and fortune. "

However, Qian Xuesen went through hardships in order to return to China, even risking his life. For a long time, many people know that Qian Xuesen originated from an American comment: "I would rather shoot him than let him leave the United States and return to red China. Wherever I go, I will reach the fifth division. "

1949 when new China was founded, Qian Xuesen also reached the peak of his career. Qian Xuesen enjoyed a high reputation in the American scientific community at that time. 38-year-old, full professor at MIT, director of the Jet Propulsion Center of California Institute of Technology, member of the scientific advisory panel of the US Air Force, and consultant of the US Naval Artillery Research Institute.

What is even more enviable is that Qian Xuesen's teacher is more famous. He is a world-class scientist von Carmen. Such an identity allows Qian Xuesen to freely enter and leave the Pentagon in the United States, and also has access to a large number of cutting-edge scientific research projects involving the military. Von Carmen spoke highly: "He is an unquestionable genius, and his work has greatly promoted the development of high-speed aerodynamics and jet propulsion science. People say so. I think I found Qian Xuesen. In fact, Qian Xuesen discovered me. "

Not only that, Qian Xuesen just got married at that time, his wife Jiang Ying was born in a noble family, and his father Jiang Baili was a famous strategist in modern times. Imagine that Qian Xuesen's happy marriage, children and professional treatment are envied by countless people, but he is eager to return to the motherland and never thought it would bring him disaster.

With the establishment of New China and the success of the first atomic bomb explosion in the Soviet Union, the attitude of the United States towards China students studying in the United States began to change. 1949165438+10. In October, Elger Heath, a senior American diplomat, broke the shocking news that he was a spy of the Soviet Union's * * * production party while working in the State Council, USA.

This caused an uproar in the United States. In this context, Qian Xuesen was investigated by the US military. At the beginning of the investigation, the US military did not question Qian Xuesen's "loyalty" to the United States, but Qian Xuesen was not an American, and his secret research license was finally revoked.

Qian Xuesen was originally prepared to return to work, but now he is treated unfairly, which makes him decide to return to China as soon as possible. 1950 June 16, Qian Xuesen submitted his resignation letter to California Institute of Technology, and began to pack his bags and return to China by boat. 19 On June 6th, Qian Xuesen and the FBI met again.

After all, here we are. Qian Xuesen's luggage was detained by the Los Angeles Customs, and Qian Xuesen himself was taken away by the Los Angeles Immigration Bureau at home on the evening of September 6 of that year. Qian Xuesen was first detained in Los Angeles prison, and then transferred to Temino Island in the south of Los Angeles.

After Qian Xuesen was detained, Jiang Ying turned to Dubridge, a good friend of Qian Xuesen and president of California Institute of Technology, for help and hired a lawyer. Thanks to the joint efforts of all of us, Qian Xuesen was released from prison after being detained for10.5 million dollars on bail. In this short half a month, Qian Xuesen was tortured, and his body suddenly lost more than 30 kilograms, and he once lost his voice.

Qian Xuesen is temporarily free, but he must report his whereabouts to the Los Angeles Immigration Bureau every month and attend military hearings at any time. Soon, Qian Xuesen found that federal investigators appeared around his home, and the phone was monitored 24 hours a day, which meant that returning to China was far away.

Qian Xuesen was unfairly treated in the United States and sent back to China. The China government attached great importance to it and protested to the United States many times. Premier Zhou repeatedly instructed relevant personnel to do their utmost to strive for Qian Xuesen's return to China as soon as possible. The turning point was the convening of the Geneva Conference.

1In April, 954, Premier Zhou led a huge delegation to attend the Geneva Conference. During this period, representatives of China and the United States started negotiations on the issue of expatriates. Because China and the United States did not establish diplomatic relations at that time, the two sides confronted each other many times. Finally, the United States agreed to release Qian Xuesen to return to China on the condition that China released 1 1 American pilots.

1On August 4, 955, Qian Xuesen received a notice from the Los Angeles Immigration Bureau, allowing him to return to China. On September 17, Qian Xuesen and his family boarded the cruise ship "President Cleveland" bound for Hong Kong in Los Angeles Port. Qian Xuesen was extremely excited to finally return to China after being illegally detained for five years.

On October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0, Qian Xuesen's family entered the mainland from Luohu Bridge in Shenzhen and returned to the embrace of the motherland. Shortly after Qian Xuesen returned to China, with the encouragement of Premier Zhou, he submitted the Opinions on Establishing China's National Defense Aviation Industry to the Central Military Commission, and put forward his own opinions on the next development of China's rocket, missile and related industries.

Qian Xuesen's report has been highly valued by the central authorities. 1956 In April, the Central Military Commission instructed the Aviation Industry Commission to set up the missile management agency-the Fifth Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, and the research institution-the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense. On October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0, Marshal Nie announced the establishment of the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense, and Qian Xuesen was immediately appointed as the president.

This day is very meaningful, it is the first anniversary of Qian Xuesen's return to China, and it also reflects the importance attached by the Central Military Commission to Qian Xuesen. Under the leadership of Qian Xuesen, the scientific research team broke through thousands of major technical difficulties and directly participated in organizing and directing the development and launch of several types of missiles:

1960, China successfully launched its first missile; 1966, China's first surface-to-surface missile with a nuclear warhead exploded successfully; 1970 China's first artificial earth satellite was successfully launched and so on.

Regarding Qian Xuesen's contribution to China's national defense, an official comment can be made: "Because Qian Xuesen returned to China, China's missiles and atomic bombs were launched at least 20 years earlier. In just 10 years, China's national defense cutting-edge technology has made a series of major breakthroughs, reaching the strength and level of a few developed countries in the world. "

During that time, Qian Xuesen was too busy to take care of the education of his two children. When Qian Xuesen returned to China, his son Qian Yonggang was 7 years old and his daughter Qian Yongzhen was 5 years old. In fact, Qian Xuesen's education for children is not as strict as expected. On one occasion, Qian Yonggang failed to meet expectations in the exam, and the teacher gave him only 4 points (out of 5) for two courses.

Qian Yonggang was very unhappy when he got home. When Qian Xuesen came back from work, he found his son unhappy and asked why. Qian Yonggang talked with his teacher about his recent exam results, but Qian Xuesen was not happy at all. He told his son that it would be good to make progress.

In a recent exam, Qian Yonggang got a perfect score of 5 points in every subject. He told the news to his father at once. Qian Xuesen only said one sentence, "I think you got two 4 points last time, which is also very good." It can be seen that Qian Xuesen is very tolerant of children and does not require them to do well in exams.

From 65438 to 0982, Qian Yonggang graduated from the Computer Department of National University of Defense Technology with a bachelor's degree in engineering. Qian Yonggang later went to the California Institute of Technology for further study and got a master's degree. After returning home, Qian Yonggang worked in the PLA General Armament Department for many years, and engaged in the development of computer application software systems for a long time.

When Qian Xuesen died, Qian Yonggang was a senior engineer at the Research Institute of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army in China. After retirement, he was hired as an adjunct professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi Jiaotong University, Tsinghua University and other universities. It is worth mentioning that Qian Yonggang is also the curator of Qian Xuesen Library of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and often tells visitors Qian Xuesen's life story as the chief volunteer.

Compared with Qian Yonggang, it can still be seen on some occasions, while Qian Yongzhen is little known. Qian Yongzhen, like her mother Jiang Ying, is also very talented in music. In the 1980s, she went abroad to study like her brother. After returning to China, Qian Yongzhen worked in the Central Conservatory of Music until his retirement. He used to be the director of the teaching and research section and the deputy director of the drama department.

Qian Yongzhen is retired now. Qian Xuesen is a real people's scientist. Although he has been dead for many years, he is still remembered by China people. As netizens have said by word of mouth: people who choose the motherland will eventually choose them! The motherland will eventually remember those who have served the motherland!

I would like to pay tribute to Qian Xuesen with this article!
