A story about being too poor to move.

1950 In the middle of September, Qian Xuesen went through the formalities of returning to China. Just two days before he planned to leave Los Angeles, he suddenly received a notice from the US Immigration and Naturalization Service that he was not allowed to return to China! The immigration bureau threatened to leave the country without authorization, and if you were caught, you would be fined or even jailed! A few days later, Qian Xuesen was arrested in the detention center of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. The "crime" is "participating in a political party that advocates overthrowing the US government by force".

In the detention center, Qian Xuesen was imprisoned like a criminal. Qian Xuesen once recalled: "15 days of confinement, I lost 30 pounds." In the detention center, every night, spies will come in every hour to wake you up, so that you can't rest and are in an extremely nervous state. "

Later, due to Qian Xuesen's protest and the help of American friends, the Immigration Bureau had to release him, but he was still under surveillance. The outrageous obstruction of the American authorities did not lock Qian Xuesen's heart in returning to China. He and his wife Jiang Ying continued to fight in various ways. In those difficult years, Qian Xuesen always set up three light boxes at home so as to leave for home at any time.

2. Suwu Shepherd

In March of the first year of Tianhan, in order to repay the kindness of Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent corps commander Su Wu, deputy corps commander John Zhang and military attache Chang Hui to the Xiongnu, sent them to restore the detained Xiongnu messengers and gave them rich property as gifts. After Su Wu and others arrived in Xiongnu, civil strife broke out in Xiongnu. Su Wu was involved after the incident, and Su Wu didn't want to be humiliated, so he failed to commit suicide. Khan sent Korea to surrender, and urged it to surrender by protecting the law. Su Wu was unmoved. So Su Wu was imprisoned in the underground kiln and deprived of food and drink to force him to submit.

Su Wu persisted for several days without dying. The Huns thought he was a god, so they exiled him to a remote and uninhabited place in Beihai to herd sheep.

In the second year of Yuan Dynasty, Hu Yanlang became Khan in Xinli, and the emissary wanted to be friendly with the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty asked the Huns to release Su Wu. In the sixth year of Yuan Dynasty, nine people, including Su Wu, were welcomed back to China by Chinese envoys. Su Wu detained the Huns 19 years, knowing the border nationalities. After returning to China, he was appointed as a typical country, specializing in minority affairs. He was unyielding in the Huns and was regarded by later generations as one of the models of adhering to national integrity.

Zhu Ziqing refused to accept American relief food.

At the beginning of 1948, the people's liberation war entered the final stage. In June, Peiping students launched a movement against American support for Japanese militarism. Zhu Ziqing was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, but he did not hesitate to sign his name on the declaration, which read: "In order to show the dignity and integrity of the people of China, we categorically reject all charity from the United States, whether it is purchase or gift."

In early August, Zhu Ziqing became seriously ill and died on 12. He was only 50 years old then. Poverty has not changed his patriotism.

Extended data:

Poverty can't move: you won't change your ambition just because you live in poverty and have a humble position.

Poverty can't move, and the language comes from Mencius and Teng Wengong: "The rich can't be slutty, the poor can't move, and the power can't be bent. This is called a gentleman. " . These are the three standards of being a man put forward by Mencius.

Among them, "poor can't move" is particularly important. Its modern interpretation can be translated as: wealth can't disturb its heart, poverty can't change its will, and the threat of power violence can't make it yield. Only by doing these three things can a gentleman be considered a real gentleman.
