Mr. Qian Xuesen once said this: "If a country falls behind economically, it can take more than ten years to catch up. If the morale is bad, it will be difficult for even several generations to recover." Therefore, most of the future generations All Chinese students studying abroad are following the example of Mr. Qian Xuesen, because everyone has discovered a truth: "When you study in a foreign country, you must not forget the motherland that gave birth to and raised you. Only by devoting yourself to the motherland and serving the motherland can your life be considered in vain."

1. One day back in June 1955, Qian Xuesen was sitting in front of his desk, his thin face illuminated by bright lights, and he was writing furiously with the pen in his hand. He was not doing scientific research or analyzing geometric formulas, but writing a letter asking for help. In the end, it was precisely because of this letter asking for help that Zhou Enlai finally learned about Qian Xuesen's situation in the United States, and used a clever plan to rescue Qian Xuesen back to China.

2. Since Qian Xuesen made a request to return to China in 1949, it was not until 1955 that he returned to the embrace of the motherland. So, what exactly did he experience in the United States during these six years?

3. Going back to October 6, 1949, it was the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the founding of New China. In a villa in Manhattan, the home of Qian Xuesen, a dozen young people sat together and they were discussing animatedly the founding ceremony of New China held five days ago. During the discussion, Qian Xuesen became more and more excited as he spoke. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Friends, New China has been established, it's time for us to go back!" Upon hearing this, most people fell silent, even Some people have raised questions: "New China has just been founded. We need money but no money, and we need equipment but no equipment. It is too difficult for us to go back to do scientific research now!"

4. This is the fact. The Chinese people have experienced 28 years of hard struggle. Before the founding of New China, when the Kuomintang was defeated and fled, it took away countless gold and silver treasures, leaving behind a mess. The country's economy was impoverished, the people's lives were difficult, and they also owed 8.6 billion yuan in foreign debt to the Soviet Union.

5. Therefore, this classmate’s doubts and concerns are not unreasonable. Qian Xuesen and his wife Jiang Ying also have such concerns. You must know that this group of young people are all top talents studying in the United States. In 1949, they had applied for permanent residence in the United States and could spend the rest of their lives in wealth in the United States. Qian Xuesen, who is less than 40 years old, is even more outstanding. He became the youngest professor in the history of MIT, participated in U.S. missile research, and had free access to the Pentagon. With an astonishingly high salary, it was enough to buy a mansion in half a year.
