Four touching stories of patriotic celebrities affecting China's destiny

1. Qian Xuesen

When New China was founded in 1949, Qian Xuesen, then director of the Supersonic Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology and head of the Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Research Center, was delighted by the new birth of the motherland. He intends to return to China and use his expertise to serve New China. But at that time, Chinese scientists in the United States were not easy to return to the country, and Qian Xuesen’s expertise was directly related to national defense. The United States tried every means to keep him from returning to China. After all his hardships, he finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.

2. Ji Hongchang
On September 21, 1931, General Ji Hongchang, who was determined to resist the Japanese, was forced to go down to the wild by Chiang Kai-shek and went abroad to "explore the industry." When the ship arrived in the United States, Ji Hongchang was unexpectedly stimulated one after another. For example, the first-class hotels there did not accept the Chinese, but they were devout to the Japanese. On one occasion, Ji Hongchang had to send clothes to the country. The post office staff actually said that there was no China in the world. Ji Hongchang was extremely angry. He was about to attack. The accompanying embassy counselor advised: "Why don't you say that you are Japanese?" If you say that you are a Japanese, you can be treated with courtesy.” Ji Hongchang immediately angered: “Do you think that when the Chinese are shameful, I feel that when the Chinese are glorious!” To protest against the imperialist discrimination against the Chinese, maintain National dignity, he found a wooden sign and carefully wrote it in English: "I am Chinese!"

3, Hua Luogeng <br /> The great mathematician Hua Luogeng, after the "July 7" Incident, returned to the motherland where the anti-Japanese bonfire was burning from the well-paid Britain. It was not for money and degree. After returning home, he actively participated in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement. In 1950, he became an internationally renowned first-rate mathematician and was hired as a tenured professor by the University of Illinois, but he resolutely led the family back to the newly liberated homeland.

4. Mao Yisheng
Among the older generation of scientists in China, many of them are studying abroad and returning to China. The famous bridge expert Mao Yisheng went to the United States when he was 20 years old in 1916. He became a graduate student at Cornell University and soon obtained a master's degree with excellent results. In order to get a chance to practice, he went to class at night to study for a doctorate. During the day, he went to a bridge company for an internship. He hand-painted, cut steel, rivets, and paint, and finally became a person who understands both theory and technology. The Americans admire him. A letter of appointment was sent from all over the place and he was asked to be an engineer.
However, Mao Yisheng did not accept the appointment, but decided to return to China. Some people in the United States persuaded him: "Science is without the motherland and transcends national borders. The contribution of scientists belongs to all mankind. China's conditions are poor, and your contribution to the United States will be even greater." Mao Yisheng replied: "Science does not The motherland, but the scientists have the motherland. I am a Chinese, my motherland needs me more. I want to go back and serve the motherland!"
In 1919, Mao Yisheng returned to China with his skills and began to build a bridge for the country. The majestic bridge on the Qiantang River in Zhejiang Province is now designed and hosted by Mao Yisheng.
