For the sake of her motherland, after more than 30 years of three major changes, she gave up the preferential treatment from the United States in Shanghai | a scholarly family. But Wang | America

If we want to give up on top universities in the United States

excellent pay and conditions

Breaking through numerous blockades

Returning to the impoverished and impoverished homeland at that time

If you want to take off all the halos you have obtained

Over 30 years of three major changes

Starting from scratch time and time again

If winning the Nobel Prize was once full of hope

But I have to hide my name and remain anonymous

From now on, I am willing to sit on the cold bench

Are you willing?

Wang Chengshu gave an answer throughout her life

Every decision in life

She answered with a resounding "I do"

Like a crucial universal screw

Filling the gap in China's nuclear industry

Several gaps in the initial stage

I will do whatever the country needs

On June 26, 1912,

Wang Chengshu was born into a scholarly family in Shanghai.

She has been intelligent since childhood,

My main interests are in mathematics and physics,

Her math grades are almost always at the top.

In 1930,

18-year-old Wang Chengshu was recommended to the Department of Physics at Yanjing University.

During my years at Yanjing University,

As the only girl in the class,

The grades have consistently ranked first in the department.

In 1941,

Wang Chengshu won the Balboa Scholarship in the United States,

This scholarship is only available to unmarried women,

Due to Wang Chengshu's sincerity and excellence,

The scholarship committee made an exception and approved her application.

She entered the University of Michigan in the United States to further her studies

And her teacher - international physics authority Ulenbeck

Conducting theoretical research on gas transport together,

And in 1951, it was exported, known as

The "Wang Chengshu Ulenbeck Equation"

Multiatomic molecular dynamics equations,

Once released, it caused a sensation in the world of physics,

It is still in use today.

Ulenbeck has repeatedly praised her as a "remarkable talent".

Wang Chengshu and her husband Zhang Wenyu in the United States

According to US law,

Continuously residing in the United States for 5 years

You can apply for citizenship in the United States,

But Wang Chengshu was unwilling to acquire American citizenship,

She is ready to return to China at any time and serve her motherland.

The birth of New China in 1949,

Strongly aroused Wang Chengshu's childlike heart to serve the motherland,

Although China is poor,

The conditions for conducting scientific research are poor,

But she firmly stated:

The conditions need to be created by people,

I can't wait for others to create conditions anymore,

I want to join the ranks of creating conditions and paving the way.

Wang Chengshu has convinced the Western scientific community that,

If she continues to persist in research in the United States,

There is a great possibility of winning the Nobel Prize in the future!

Before returning to China,

Wang Chengshu has made great achievements in physics,

Very affluent in material life.

Wang Chengshu later recalled that:

Back then, it wasn't that I didn't love the privileged life in America,

But I love my motherland more.

After returning to China, Wang Chengshu wrote in his notes:

October 6th, 1956 was an unforgettable day for me,

Although I didn't realize it at that time

This will be the day when my truly meaningful life begins,

On the border of our motherland, which has been separated for 15 years,

The first time I saw a five-star red flag fluttering in the air,

An indescribable excitement in my heart,

I want to contribute to the country,

I will do whatever the country needs.

"I am willing" "I am willing" "I am willing"

In 1958,

China is preparing to build a thermonuclear fusion research laboratory,

The organization hopes to transfer Wang Chengshu to take charge,

At that time, this field was still blank in China,

It is also an unfamiliar field that she has never been exposed to before,

For Wang Chengshu, who is 46 years old and has already established his major,

A huge test full of risks.

Faced with Qian Sanqiang's invitation,

Without hesitation, Wang Chengshu said:

I am willing.

She made it clear that:

No one has ever done this job before,

It's not easy for anyone to do it.

Everyone else's work is already on track,

And with young comrades,

Only when I just returned to work,

Or should I go ahead and do it,

The impact on work is minimal.

After taking over the work,

Wang Chengshu immediately led some comrades to study in the Soviet Union,

The learning is over,

On the seven day and seven night journey back to China by train,

She translated all the materials she brought back into Chinese,

It will be published soon.

After 2 years of hard work,

Wang Chengshu led a theoretical team,

Filling the gap in China's theory of thermonuclear fusion,

Research on Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion and Plasma in China

Established a solid foundation.

Wang Chengshu works with young researchers

Just as Wang Chengshu is preparing for the field of thermonuclear fusion

When conducting deeper research,

A sudden situation,

Not only did it make her start from scratch again,

And it completely "disappeared" from the field of international physics.

At that time, China's uranium enrichment production was in a difficult situation,

Enriched uranium is the core technology for manufacturing atomic bombs.

Faced with this situation,

In March 1961,

Qian Sanqiang once again found Wang Chengshu:

Comrade Chengshu, now the country needs you to switch careers again,

This matter must be kept absolutely confidential,

Do you think it's okay?

Wang Chengshu calmly said, "I am willing.",

She said these three words without hesitation.

Wang Chengshu and researchers in the laboratory

This choice,

It means she has to give up her previous experience in the field of physics

All achievements made,

From now on, I will remain anonymous.

Qian Sanqiang emphasized to Wang Chengshu that,

This matter cannot even be told to my husband,

And it may take a long time to separate from family,

Perhaps I will remain anonymous for a lifetime.

Wang Chengshu silently said, "It's okay.".

Wang Chengshu's Family Photo

Zhang Aiping, then Deputy Chief of the General Staff

I once conducted a survey at a uranium enrichment plant,

When he asked if he was confident in producing qualified products on time,

Turning his gaze to Wang Chengshu.

Wang Chengshu firmly replied: Yes.

Zhang Aiping asked again, what is the basis?

Wang Chengshu's answer:

What we do at the Institute of Atomic Energy

Theoretical calculations and experimental proof,

Can ensure timely production of qualified products.

She said:

In my promise,

Apart from promises to children that cannot be fulfilled,

Everything else can be redeemed.

This is one word, nine tripods!

Completed ahead of schedule by Wang Chengshu and colleagues

After the loading mission of supplying our country's first atomic bomb,

The superior gave high praise,

Wang Chengshu only said one sentence:

This is all thanks to everyone.

After the successful explosion of China's first atomic bomb,

Qian Sanqiang sent her a third invitation,

I hope she continues to engage in isotope separation research under the guise of anonymity.

Wang Chengshu once again firmly replied, "I am willing.".

Wang Chengshu observed the ceremony at the Tiananmen Gate Tower

On National Day in 1966,

As a significant contributor to science and technology, Wang Chengshu,

Invited to the Tiananmen Gate Tower to observe the ceremony,

When introducing Wang Chengshu to Chairman Mao, Nie Rongzhen said,

She loaded the material for our country's first atomic bomb

Made significant contributions,

After hearing this, Chairman Mao happily said:

"This is the female hero of China's first atomic bomb explosion."

Making contributions to the country is the responsibility of every citizen

Wang Chengshu said in the CAS Member Self report:

In my student days,

At a time when China is being oppressed by imperialism,

During the period of internal rule by warlords and reactionary governments,

Due to dissatisfaction with the situation at the time,

Developed a strong sense of nationalism and justice

It is precisely because of the pain felt on the skin that,

Wang Chengshu's contribution to saving the nation from disaster

The CPC highly agrees.

She exclaimed with emotion:

If it weren't for the establishment of New China,

I may not come back.

My wish is to join the CPC. "

In 1961, Wang Chengshu joined the CPC as he wished.

In the title page of her notes,

There is a yellowed note that reads:

Under any conditions,

Resolutely and best complete any task assigned to me by the Party,

Be willing to sacrifice one's own life when necessary.

Due to long-term hard work,

In his later years, Wang Chengshu suffered from eye diseases,

But she used waste as an excuse,

Refuse treatment with expensive imported drugs.

Due to confidentiality reasons,

Wang Chengshu rarely appears in the public eye,

At the critical moment of Wang Chengshu's illness,

She left a will to donate her body to medical research,

Books and notes are reserved for scientific research work.

Wang Chengshu and her husband Zhang Wenyu in their later years

Before her death, she wrote in a letter to her students:

My life was ordinary and unremarkable,

Just working steadfastly,

As for contributions, who hasn't contributed?

And make contributions to the country,

The responsibility of every citizen,

Not to mention being a Communist Party member!

Devote my body and mind to the Party,

For communism,

For the glorious and great cause of liberating all humanity,

Strive to the end.

Her name is different from

Her life, where she willingly lived in the darkness and worked tirelessly,

Worth mentioning again and again in the future——

To remember those illustrious and nameless people,

To reminisce about a tumultuous era

The backbone of the country,

To cherish every contribution hidden in the times

Every inch of hard work.

To encourage you, who are still questioning the meaning of life,

To encourage being in a low valley at this moment

But you who firmly believe that hard work is meaningful.
