Mary was born in Warsaw, Poland on 1867. Due to Russian aggression, Curie was always tired of oppressive education. After graduating from high school, she suffered from mental illness for a year. Because she is a woman, she can't continue her studies in any Russian or Polish university, so she has been a tutor for several years. Both Mary and her sister dream of studying in France. My sister has saved some money for studying abroad, but the money is only enough to study in France for one year. In order to realize her and her sister's dream, Mary proposed to her sister. I will be a tutor to provide her with funds for school, and then I will prepare funds for her to study abroad when her sister graduates and finds a job. For the dream of studying abroad, Mary worked as a tutor for 8 years. Eight years of indelible dreams have finally come true. With the support of her sister, she came to Paris to study mathematics and physics in Sor-bonne (the old name of Paris University). After four years of hard work, Mary obtained two master's degrees in physics and mathematics from the University of Paris. There, she became the first female lecturer in the school. First love At this time, Mary's parting thoughts may also contain the hidden pain of first love. She used to work with Kazimierz, the young owner of her family? Orawski) fell in love. This handsome and clever man later became a famous mathematician and was related to Mary's family. However, Zoroski's family despises Mary, a poor relative, and strongly opposes this relationship. Mary lost a lot because of this. It was not until she finally received Zolasky's breakup letter that Mary packed up her broken heart and left the motherland. "Those days were very difficult, and it was the most sad moment in my life. The only thing I can remember is that I still hold my head high and quit gloriously. " Now should we be grateful for this unsuccessful relationship? If Mary hadn't left Poland and met her later soul mate pierre curie, our understanding of science might not be like this. Light of Radium 1896, French physicist becquerel published a work report, detailing the uranium element he discovered through many experiments. Uranium and its compounds have a special ability, which can automatically and continuously emit an invisible ray, which is different from ordinary light and can make photographic negatives sensitive through black paper. It is also different from roentgen rays discovered by roentgen. Uranium and its compounds constantly emit rays and radiate energy outward. This aroused the great interest of Madame Curie. Where does this energy come from? What is the nature of this unusual ray? Madame Curie was determined to uncover its secret. From 65438 to 0897, Madame Curie chose her own research topic-the study of radioactive substances. This research project has brought her into a new scientific world. She worked hard to open up a virgin land, and finally completed one of the most important discoveries in the history of modern science, and discovered the radioactive element radium, which laid the foundation of modern radiochemistry and made great contributions to mankind. The Curie couple who discovered radium
Due to their amazing discovery, the Curies and becquerel won the Nobel Prize in Physics in February 1903. Their scientific achievements are unparalleled, but they are extremely contemptuous of fame and fortune and most tired of those boring social parties. They devoted everything they had to the cause of science, without any selfish interests. After the successful extraction of radium, they were suggested to apply for a patent right from the government to monopolize the manufacture of radium in order to make a fortune. Madame Curie said, "That is against the scientific spirit. Scientists' research results should be published publicly, and others should develop them without any restrictions. "Besides, radium is good for patients, so we should not use it for profit. The Curies also donated their Nobel Prizes to others. [1] 1906, Mr. Curie died in a car accident, and Madame Curie was in great pain. She is determined to redouble her efforts to realize her scientific ambition. The University of Paris decided that Madame Curie would take over from Mr. Curie to teach physics. Madame Curie became the first female professor in the history of the famous Paris University. When the couple separated the first batch of radium salts, they began to study the various properties of radiation. From 1889 to 1904, they published 32 academic reports and recorded their exploration footprints in the field of radiation science. 19 10, Madame Curie finished the book Radioactivity Monograph. She also cooperated with others to successfully prepare metal radium. 19 1 1 Madame Curie won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. A female scientist, in less than 10 years, won the highest prize in world science twice in two different scientific fields, which is unique in the history of world science!
Radium research institute
19 14, the institute of radium science was established in Paris, and Madame Curie served as the research director of the institute. After that, she continued to teach at the university and engaged in the research of radioactive elements. She spread scientific knowledge to all who want to learn without stint. She has been studying and working for 50 years since 16. But she still doesn't change that strict lifestyle. She has a high spirit of self-sacrifice since she was a child. In her early years, in order to provide for her sister's schooling, she was willing to work as a servant in someone else's house. During her study in Paris, she studied in the library every night in order to save fuel and heating costs, until the library closed. The pitchblende needed to extract pure radium was very expensive at that time. They saved up bit by bit from their living expenses and bought 8 or 9 tons successively. After Mr. Curie's death, Madame Curie donated radium, which was painstakingly extracted and valued at more than 654.38+100,000 gold francs, to the laboratory for cancer research and treatment. 1932, 65-year-old Madame Curie returned to China to attend the opening ceremony of Warsaw Radium Institute. Madame Curie has been away from the motherland since her youth and went to study in France. But she never forgot her motherland. When she was a child, her motherland Poland was occupied by Russia, and she hated the invaders. When the couple separated a new element from the mineral, she named it polonium. This is because the roots of polonium are the same as those of Poland. She expressed her deep nostalgia for the motherland enslaved by Russia. For decades, Madame Curie has been engaged in the research of radioactive substances for a long time. Coupled with the harsh experimental environment and lack of strict protection for her body, she is often attacked by radioactive elements, which gradually damages her blood and causes leukemia. She also suffers from lung disease, eye disease, gallbladder disease, kidney disease and even insanity. In Madame Curie's view, scientific research is more important than her own health. In order to attend the World Physics Congress, she asked the doctor to postpone the kidney operation. She returned to China to attend the opening ceremony of the Radium Institute. She once endured the fear of blindness and stubbornly carried out scientific research. Until the last breath of her life, she was lying in bed with pernicious anemia and high fever. She still asked her daughter to report to her about the work in the laboratory and proofread the book Radioactivity for her. Madame Curie passed away on July 4th, 934. She devoted her whole life to the science she loved. 1July 4, 934, Madame Curie died of illness. She eventually died of pernicious anemia. She created and developed radiation science all her life, studied strongly radioactive materials fearlessly for a long time, and finally contributed her life to this science. In her life, * * * won 10 famous awards including the Nobel Prize, and won 16 medals issued by international advanced academic institutions; Governments and scientific research institutions around the world have awarded more than 107 titles. But she is as modest and prudent as ever. Albert Einstein, a great scientist, commented: "Among all the famous people, Marie Curie is the only one who has not been spoiled by fame!" Madame Curie is a representative of women. Perhaps the biggest controversy in Madame Curie's life came from her affair with PaulLangevin. Langevin is a student of Pierre and an excellent physicist. Legend has it that he is indifferent to his wife, but he is deeply fascinated by Mary, who is still beautiful and moving. Various newspapers have hyped up the scandal. Out of xenophobia and because of the controversial stunt of "Little Three, a female scientist", the originally romantic and affectionate French people could not tolerate Mary and described her as a "Polish slut". This relationship is over. Many years later, Madame Curie's granddaughter married Langevin's grandson. When the scandal is gradually forgotten in the corner of history, what is left to the world now is that Madame Curie continues to work fearlessly and dejectedly with her independent and strong personality. After all, her outstanding scientific achievements have attracted worldwide attention, and her work without personal contribution has also benefited many people. Her technology was used to treat soldiers injured in World War I, and even all kinds of super-energy "radium" products, which claimed to keep young forever and prolong life, flooded the streets like today's "nano-products". In Madame Curie's laboratory, her daughter and son-in-law won the Nobel Prize of 1935 for discovering artificial radiation. After that, many scientists came here to work and tried to treat skin cancer and other diseases with radium separated by Madame Curie, and achieved many results. Until now, the Curie Institute is still an important cancer research institution. At Warsaw University of Technology in Poland, a sculpture of Mary stands. Zoroski, the first love of a famous math professor, sat quietly in front of this sculpture for countless times. Many years later, in order to commemorate the country's outstanding daughter, Warsaw built a research institute and museum in memory of Mary. 1995, the bodies of Mary and Pierre were sent to the Pantheon in Paris, which symbolizes the highest honor in France. The poor girl from overseas became the only woman in the national pantheon. Her character was widely praised. Einstein once said: Madame Curie may be the only one who has not been ruined by fame.
Lifelong honor
Madame Curie won 10 awards, 16 medals and 107 honorary titles, especially two Nobel Prizes, 1895. When Madame Curie and pierre curie got married, there were only two chairs in the new house, one for each. Pierre curie felt that there were too few chairs, so he suggested adding more chairs to prevent the guests from having nowhere to sit. But Madame Curie said, "It's good to have a chair, but the guests won't leave once they sit down. In order to have more time to do research, forget it! " Although Madame Curie's annual salary has increased to 40,000 francs, she is still "generous". Every time she comes back from abroad, she always brings back some banquet menus, because these menus are very thick and good pieces of paper, which are convenient to write on the back. No wonder some people say that Madame Curie was "like a poor woman in a hurry" until her death. Once, an American journalist went to visit Madame Curie. He went to the door of a fisherman's house in the village and asked a woman sitting barefoot on the slate in front of the house about Madame Curie's residence. The woman looked up and the reporter was shocked: it turned out that she was Madame Curie's famous saying.
The weak wait for opportunities; The strong create opportunities. Madame Curie
On the road to fame, it is not sweat, but blood. Their names are not written with pens, but with life. I think people can live an interesting and beneficial life at every stage. We should not waste our lives. We should be able to say, "We have done what I can", and people can only ask us to do so. Only in this way can we have a little happiness. When our country is enslaved, we Poles have no right to leave our motherland. If you can live your ideal life, act in the spirit of integrity and freedom, be brave and persistent, be honest and not deceive yourself, you will certainly achieve perfection. We live happily every day. Don't wait until the days have passed to discover our loveliness, and don't put all our special hopes in the future. I want to turn my life into a scientific dream, and then turn my dream into reality. We have to eat, sleep, browse and fall in love, that is, we have to touch the sweetest things in life, but we have to give in to these things. People should have patience, especially confidence. Turn life into fantasy, and then turn fantasy into reality. The invisible world of mankind is not an illusion, but a real existence illuminated by the brilliance of science. Nobleness is the power of science. What matters in science is the "things" studied, not the "individuals" of researchers. Only by paying equal attention to gymnastics and music can we become a complete personality. Because gymnastics can exercise the body and music can cultivate the spirit. The foundation of science is a healthy body. People should have perseverance, otherwise they will accomplish nothing. I have never been lucky, and I will never expect to be lucky in the future. My highest principle is: never give in to any difficulties! None of our lives seem easy, but what does it matter? Perseverance, especially confidence! Humans also need people with ideals. For such people, it is so fascinating to develop their careers selflessly that they can't care about their personal material interests. Humans also need dreamers, who are obsessed with the selfless development of a cause, so they can't pay attention to their own material interests. Honor is like a toy, you can only play with it, you can never have it forever, otherwise you will accomplish nothing. I took your bonus as an honor loan, which helped me get the initial honor. If you want to repay the loan, please give it to other poor Polish youths who are determined to win greater honor. Honor makes me more and more stupid. Of course, this phenomenon is very common, that is, a person's actual situation is often out of proportion to what others think of him. For example, I often purr in a low voice and become a trumpet solo. I think we should look for spiritual strength in an idealism, which makes us not proud, but enables us to reach the lofty realm of our hopes and dreams. Must have perseverance, especially confidence! We must believe that our talent is used to do one thing, no matter how expensive, this kind of thing must be done. The motherland is more important than life. This is our mother and our land. There is nothing to be afraid of in life, only what is clear. It will be disappointing if a person bases all his interests in life on the stormy emotional impulse of love. We should not waste our lives, we should be able to say, "I have done what I can." If we can follow our ideals and live in the spirit of freedom, persistence and honesty, we can achieve perfection. I think you must seek spiritual strength from an idealism. This idealism will not make us proud, but it will make our hopes and fantasies reach a high level. Humans also need people with ideals. For such people, it is so fascinating to develop their careers selflessly that they can't care about their personal material interests. People who work for the happiness of the public, no matter in which department, can't be separated by national boundaries. The fruits of their labor belong not only to one country, but to all mankind. Humans also need dreamers, who are obsessed with the selfless development of a cause, so they can't pay attention to their own material interests. I think we should look for spiritual strength in an idealism, which makes us not proud, but enables us to reach the lofty realm of our hopes and dreams. Those lively and careful silkworms, so willing and persistent in their work, really moved me. I look at them and feel that I am one of them, although my work may not be as organized as theirs. I will always work patiently towards an excellent goal. I know life is short and fragile, I know it can't leave anything behind, I know others have different views, I can't guarantee that my efforts are justified, but I still do. There is no doubt that I have to do this for a reason, just as silkworms have to cocoon. Bonus; prize
