The stationery he used could only be purchased with a little labor fee from helping children from wealthy families to write books. However, the hardships of life did not make him quit. Instead, it encouraged him to study diligently, so that he maintained excellent grades from elementary school to high school.
In 1959, he was admitted to the Department of Geophysics of Peking University with excellent results. He brought the only quilt at home and wore the shoes he bought for the first time to enter Peking University, which led him to understand The door to modern science. The school gave him the highest scholarship, as well as winter clothes and summer clothes, and the relevant leaders often asked about the cold and warmth. This made him secretly determined: Only by studying hard can he repay the party and the people for their training. Such a simple belief made him He overcame one difficulty after another.
In the spring of 1895, Einstein was 16 years old. According to German law at the time, boys who had left Germany before the age of 17 did not have to come back to perform military service. Einstein deeply hated doctrine, and he couldn't stand being alone in the military-like Luipold High School. Einstein decided to leave Germany without consulting his parents and reunite with his parents in Italy. However, what would happen if he dropped out of school halfway and could not get a diploma in the future? What? Einstein, who had always been loyal and simple, came up with an idea that he thought was a good one in desperation. He asked his math teacher to give him a certificate saying that he had excellent math scores and had reached the university level early. He also learned from a familiar person. He got a sick leave certificate from his doctor, saying that he had a neurasthenia and needed to go home to rest. Einstein thought that with these two certificates, he could escape from this disgusting place.
Who knows, he Before he applied, the dean of students called him in and ordered him to drop out of school because he had ruined the class spirit and failed to abide by school discipline.
Einstein blushed. No matter what the reason, as long as he could leave this place He was willing to go to high school and didn't care about anything. He just suddenly felt guilty for coming up with a cunning idea that he didn't implement. Later, every time he mentioned this matter, Einstein felt guilty. Probably this kind of thing has something to do with it. His frank and sincere personality was too far away.

Finally, in 212 BC, the Romans took advantage of the slight defense of the ancient city of Syracuse. He was lax and launched a large-scale attack into the city. At this time, Archimedes was concentrating on studying a profound mathematical problem. A Roman soldier broke in and trampled the figures he had drawn with his feet. Archimedes argued with him angrily. The cruel soldiers were not willing to listen, but he raised his sword and a brilliant scientific superstar fell.
In 462 AD, Zu Chongzhi asked Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty to promulgate a new calendar, and Emperor Xiaowu summoned ministers to discuss it.

However, Emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty still refused to promulgate it. New Calendar. It was not until ten years after Zu Chongzhi's death that the Ming Calendar created by him was implemented.

The famous geologist Li Siguang studied hard at the University of Birmingham in the UK in his early years. In six years, he obtained a master's degree in geology. His teacher, Professor Ballton, advised him to stay for further study and return to China after obtaining a doctorate. Li Siguang declined the teacher's kindness and replied: "No, I want to learn what I have learned." knowledge and contribute it to my motherland as soon as possible." In 1920, he returned to work in China until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937. Later, he went abroad for a time and still persisted in geological research abroad. By 1950, he gave up the favorable conditions abroad and worked in When New China was in desperate need of revitalization, he resolutely took a detour from the UK and returned to China.

Zhou Peiyuan, a famous contemporary Chinese physicist, was invited to participate in the research work of the United States Wartime Bureau of Scientific Research and Development in 1945. .With the end of World War II, the U.S. Department of the Navy established the Naval Military Experiment Station and hoped that Zhou Peiyuan would work at the station and receive a very good salary. However, the Department of the Navy is a government department of the United States, and serving in an unit affiliated to the Department of the Navy would become a U.S. military Government civil servants and foreigners must become American citizens to participate. Zhou Peiyuan immediately proposed three conditions to the United States: first, not to become American citizens; second, only undertake temporary research tasks; third, can leave at any time. 1947 In February, Zhou Peiyuan resolutely left the United States with his wife and children and returned to the embrace of his motherland.
Qian Sanqiang, the founder of China's atomic energy science industry, went to France to study in 1937 to study atomic theory, and was considered by the younger Curies and his wife. He is the most outstanding scientific researcher. In 1948, Qian Sanqiang and his wife He Zehui proposed to return to China, and their supervisors and colleagues repeatedly persuaded and persuaded them to stay. The Kuomintang government ambassador to France viciously threatened: "See if he can get to the mainland. That's weird!" The meaning is very clear.

He is known as the "Father of the Nuclear Bomb" in China.
Qian Xuesen, known as the "Father of China's Modern Rockets" , is a famous aerospace engineering and aerodynamics expert. He studied in the United States in his early years, and under the guidance of Professor von Kármán, he made significant progress in rocket research and made a significant contribution to the victory of the anti-fascist movement. In 1947, he was just 36 years old At the age of 18, Qian Xuesen was hired as a tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The good news of the founding of New China reached Qian Xuesen. He thought: "I am a Chinese. I can give up everything here, but I cannot give up the motherland. I should give up as soon as possible."

After five years of hard struggle, with the kind care of Premier Zhou Enlai, Qian Xuesen passed away on September 17, 1955. On the day, he embarked on his journey back to China. After returning to China, Qian Xuesen made immortal contributions to New China's aerospace industry, which leapt into the forefront of the world.
The famous mathematician Su Buqing studied in Japan in his early years and received a doctorate in 1931. .Many famous universities in Japan hired him with high salary, but he thought that the purpose of studying abroad was to master science and serve the motherland, so he declined them one by one and returned to China resolutely. After returning to China, he taught at Zhejiang University, but he was not paid for four months in a row. , so poor that he could hardly eat enough, and at that time the Imperial University of Japan promised to keep his salary for half a year.
