1. Xin Qiji

Xin Qiji once wrote "Ten Essays on Meiqin" dedicated to Song Xiaozong. The first three articles of the paper analyze in detail the resentment of the northern people against the Jurchen rulers and the sharp contradictions within the Jurchen ruling group.

The last seven chapters put forward some specific plans on how the Southern Song Dynasty should enrich its national strength, actively prepare, and complete the cause of unifying China in a timely manner. However, at that time, the peace negotiations between Song and Jin were just confirmed, and the court did not adopt his suggestions.

2. Li Shangyin

Li Shangyin was young and promising, and he was also concerned about national affairs. Seeing the decline of the Tang Dynasty's national fortune, he was worried and had lofty ambitions in his career. When he was 13 years old, he saw that the government was weak and the emperor and his ministers were incompetent, so he wrote a poem "Fuping Shaohou".

This poem describes Zhang Fang, a young prince of Fuping, who inherited the title of marquis at the age of 13. He was in a distinguished position, arrogant and extravagant, drunk and dreamy, and did not worry about state affairs. In fact, there is no such person, it is just a fictional character fabricated by Li Shangyin.

Obviously, the purpose of writing is to ridicule those powerful people who do not care about national affairs. It is really commendable to have such a talent at the age of 13!

3. Wen Tianxiang

Wen Tianxiang, the national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, was defeated and captured. He spent three years in prison and repeatedly refused the enemy's persuasion to surrender. One day, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, personally came to persuade him to surrender and promised him the position of prime minister. He did not waver. Instead, he said categorically: "I want nothing but to die to serve the country."

Before his execution. , the supervisor came closer and said: "Prime Minister Wen, if you change your mind now, you will not only avoid death, but you can still be the prime minister." Wen Tianxiang shouted angrily: "You will die if you die, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Wen Tianxiang died magnanimously towards the south, leaving a heart-stirring "Song of Righteousness" to the world.

4. Hua Luogeng

After the "July 7" Incident, the famous mathematician Hua Luogeng returned to the motherland where the anti-Japanese war was burning everywhere from Britain, where life was well-paid, not for money. and a degree, and actively participated in the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement after returning to China. In 1950, he had become an internationally renowned first-class mathematician and was hired as a tenured professor at the University of Illinois in the United States. However, he resolutely led his family back to the newly liberated motherland.

5. Qian Xuesen

In the early winter of 1955, Qian Xuesen, who had just overcome the obstruction of the US authorities from returning to his motherland, came to visit the Harbin Military Engineering Institute. The dean, General Chen Geng, asked him: "Can the Chinese develop missiles?" Qian Xuesen said: "Foreigners can do it, why can't the Chinese do it? Are the Chinese shorter than foreigners?!"

This sentence determined Qian Xuesen's career in rockets, missiles and aerospace. More than 40 years have passed, and Qian Xuesen is now 90 years old. With his foundational contributions to China's rocket and missile technology, aerospace technology and even the entire high-tech national defense industry, he wrote a splendid chapter for the modernization of our military's weapons and equipment.
