Patriotic students like Qian Xuesen.

19491kloc-0/,founding ceremony's salute shocked the hearts of Chinese people all over the world. Overseas students and scientists from China are eager to return to their motherland to participate in the construction. The newly established Central People's Government has also put the return of overseas students on the agenda.

The State Council's Prime Minister Zhou Enlai personally presided over the work for overseas students to return to China. The Chinese Scientific Workers Association appealed to overseas chapters, saying, "After the birth of New China, various constructions have been carried out step by step, and talents are urgently needed in all fields. Scholars have expertise and advanced ideas, and the government is also eager to return to China to participate in the work as soon as possible. "

The call of the motherland affects the hearts of overseas travelers.

The first person to return to China was Professor Peng Huanwu. When he set out from Ireland, he described his return as follows: "You don't need a reason to return to China, but you need a reason not to return to China." Later, he became one of the founders of China's atomic bomb.

Mathematician Hua also gave up his high salary in America and resolutely returned to China. In his letter to students studying in the United States on his way back to China, he said: In order to choose the truth, we should go back; For the sake of personal future, we should also go back. "Liangyuan is good, but it is not the hometown of permanent residence. Come back! " He also said: "Science has no national boundaries, and scientists have their own motherland." After returning home, he forgot his work and became the founder of China's analytic number theory.

In his early years, Li Siguang went to Britain to study geology in order to realize his desire to develop and strengthen the geological resources of the motherland, and made great achievements. When New China was founded, Li Siguang was elected as a member of the first CPPCC. At that time, he was still in England. 654381Late at night on October 2, Li Siguang was ecstatic when he learned the news of the birth of New China on the British Broadcasting, and wanted to return to China immediately. However, the Kuomintang government sent a telegram to the ambassador to Britain, demanding that Li Siguang issue a statement to the world, denying People's Republic of China (PRC), or Li would be detained overseas. After learning this news, Li Siguang immediately set out and made a detour to return home. He wrote to the ambassador of the Kuomintang government in Taiwan Province Province, saying: The people of China and the Republic of China are the ideal countries that I have yearned for day and night for many years. The Government Council of the Central People's Government is the government that I fully support. I think it is a great honor for me to be elected as a member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. After many twists and turns,1On May 6, 950, 60-year-old Li Siguang returned to Beijing. Since then, he has served as Vice President of China Academy of Sciences and Minister of Geology. He put forward the theory that "the three subsidence zones of the new Cathaysian tectonic system have broad prospects for oil exploration", guided the national oil exploration, and finally discovered Daqing Oilfield, Dagang Oilfield and Shengli Oilfield, completely negating the assertion that "China is an oil-poor country" and ending the era when China people used foreign oil.

1In June, 950, the American Association for Science and Technology, composed of students studying in the United States, published a letter to scientists all over the country at its annual meeting near Chicago: "We miss our motherland and you all the time ... We are unanimously determined to return to China in the shortest time, join our China scientists and join in the tide of building a new China." According to statistics, more than half of the members of the American Association for Science and Technology returned to New China.

The aerodynamicist Qian Xuesen met with great resistance when he returned to China. On 1935, Qian Xuesen went to the United States for further study, obtained his doctorate, participated in the research on rocket technology in the United States and made outstanding achievements, becoming the youngest tenured professor at California Institute of Technology. From 65438 to 0949, Qian Xuesen, who was only 37 years old, has been recognized as the authority of mechanics and applied mathematics and the pioneer of modern aviation science and rocket technology. When he learned that the motherland that was about to be liberated wanted him to return to China to lead the construction of new China aviation industry, he was determined to return to China. In August, he had bought a plane ticket to return to China, but when he was about to leave, he was told by the US Immigration Service that he was not allowed to leave the country, threatened with a sentence and a fine, and was subsequently illegally arrested. After his release, he continued to be persecuted by the US Immigration Bureau and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and his movements were restricted and monitored everywhere, and he was placed under house arrest for five years. However, this did not shake Qian Xuesen's determination to return to China. 1June, 955, he got rid of the spy's surveillance and wrote a letter to the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on a small piece of cigarette paper, asking the motherland to help him return home. In August of that year, China-US ambassadorial talks were held in Geneva. At the behest of Premier Zhou, our representatives negotiated with the US according to Qian Xuesen's reply, forcing the US government to allow Qian Xuesen to leave the United States and return to China. /kloc-In September of 0/7, Qian Xuesen was deported as an American prisoner and escorted back to China. On the second day after returning to Beijing, Qian Xuesen and his wife and children came to Tiananmen Square and sighed in the face of the bright five-star red flag: "I believe I can definitely return to the motherland, and now I am finally back." The following year, Qian Xuesen became the director of the first missile research institute in China and became the "father of missiles" in China.

In 1950s, under the call of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Central People's Government, groups of China scientists returned to the embrace of the motherland from overseas and devoted themselves to the construction of new China. They became pioneers and organizers of the research work of important disciplines in New China.
