Chapter 88 Chapter 87 Motherland Expectations

Ling Yunzhu, with gray mane and gray hair, looked solemnly. He looked at Ding Jieqiong's face for a long time, held her outstretched hand and remained silent.On the contrary, Song Subo smiled slightly, called "Jieqiong" softly, then turned around and made a gesture and said, "There are two friends who happen to be destined to you, and come to see you with us." Sure enough, two smiling middle-aged men, a man and a woman, followed behind Ling Yunzhu and his wife.The man is over half a century old, with darker complexion, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, broad face, and strong body; the woman is in her forties, small and exquisite, with two lively eyes.Ling Yunzhu said: "Here, let me introduce. Lu Ning, the vice minister of the Ministry of Health; and, this, the secretary-general of the Chinese Nurses Association, do you still have any impression?"

"Ah, Ah Luo!" Ding Jieqiong immediately recognized Ah Luo, and also thought of Lu Ning.She was excited, her eyes sparkled.Yes, it is indeed fate, fate!At the same time she stretched out her hands to Ah Luo, Ah Luo had already rushed over; the two women embraced tightly, rubbing their ears together with tears streaming down their cheeks, speechless for a long time... "Ah Luo, Ah Luo," Ding Jieqiong said repeatedly, "I have been in Beijing for about ten days, why don't you come and see me?" "I went abroad for a visit, and I just came back yesterday." Ah Luo also said repeatedly, "Sister Qiong, I'm planning to visit you every day starting tomorrow!"

"Where do you live, Ro?" "I live in Beijing. That's great, sister Qiong, we can see each other every day from now on!" "You're still doing your job, and your appearance hasn't changed much. I recognized you right away, Ro." "Where! It's because Vice President Ling said clearly that I am Ah Luo that you remembered it." A Luo said, "It's been thirty years. I was only fifteen years old at that time, and now I'm a half-old woman." Ding Jieqiong looked at Ah Luo and Lu Ning: "You——" "We're an old husband and wife!" Ah Luo said, laughing loudly.

Ding Jieqiong stretched out his right hand: "Mr. Vice Minister, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you today." "Call me by my first name or 'Old Lu'! I think you first heard about me from Su Guanlan, and he always called me 'Old Lu'." Indeed.Thirty years ago, in the late summer of 1929, Su Guanlan, who returned to Jinan from Shanghai, rescued Lu Ning as soon as she got off the train.Su Guanlan is a person who likes to talk about politics.In his later letters to Sister Qiong, he often talked about the Jinan tragedy, the Communist Party, Sino-Japanese relations, the future of China, and of course the "red student"...

Over there, Ling Yunzhu and his wife were talking with Su Guanlan and his wife.When shaking hands with Jin Xingji, Song Subo asked Ye Yuhan: "Is that the little girl you rescued back then?" "It's our eldest daughter." Song Subo listened, nodded and smiled. Ling Yunzhu and his wife met Su Guanlan on the train from Shanghai to Nanjing 30 years ago. It was an unforgettable journey.But we haven't seen each other since.Ling Yunzhu and Ye Yuhan met only once, in Peking in 1946.At that time, Lu Ning accompanied Ye Yuhan to Donghuangcheng Street, and handed three mysterious ampoules to Ling Yunzhu, the director of Peking Research Institute...

Two young waitresses came in and made eight cups of tea for each person. "Please, everyone, please sit down." Ding Jieqiong said, as if he was in his own home.She sits close to Ling Yunzhu, is very humble to her teacher and teacher's wife, and earnestly carries out the disciple's gift.Everyone sits around a sofa. "Jieqiong, let me tell you something." Ling Yunzhu looked at the female scientist.Only now did Ding Jieqiong realize that the teacher's voice was a little hoarse and his face looked tired.But, like all natural scientists, he stated clearly, and every word, word, and phrase was stated accurately, "The Institute of Scientific and Technological Information of China, the Institute of the History of Natural Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Capital Library are preparing for research Staff, university teachers and postgraduates give lectures to systematically introduce 'Ding Yun Chamber', 'Ding Si Chamber', 'Ding's Tube', 'Ding's Model', 'Ding's Coefficient Table' and 'Nuclear Explosion Aerodynamics'. The Department of Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, the Department of Technical Sciences and several related research institutes have started to discover and study your contributions and achievements that were lost in the 'Manhattan Project'; they also plan to cooperate with Tsinghua University, Peking University and other institutions to get you Under the premise of my participation and support, sort out your research results in the fields of theoretical physics, mathematics, and mechanics when you were in prison. To complete this task with a huge workload, prepare to use the most advanced computers and accelerators in China , reactors and laboratories, and rent them from the Soviet Union if necessary. The Academy of Sciences and the State Science and Technology Commission have drawn up a report to the State Council, recommending that the 'Ding' naming of a series of professional terms in the field of science be restored in our country first. In the science created by you Establish the 'Ding' naming of relevant terms in the field, and determine their general translation methods..."

Vice President Ling spoke unhurriedly, but his topic was unexpected.Su Guanlan and Ye Yuhan, Lu Ning and Ah Luo, the two "old couples" looked at each other, and then couldn't help holding each other's hands.Little Xingxing hugged her mother's neck so tightly that Ye Yuhan couldn't breathe! Ding Jieqiong stared blankly at the teacher, her hands holding the teacup paused in mid-air.Vice President Ling's topic also exceeded her expectations.In an instant, she thought of the twenty-five years in the United States, especially the twelve years of losing her freedom; during those twelve years, all the technologies named after "Ding" in all books, documents, textbooks and information materials And the theoretical achievements all disappeared!Even after her supposed restoration of "lawful alien" status, recognition of her past achievements and contributions has not been restored. …

"Oh, Jieqiong," Ling Yunzhu changed the subject, "Dubna's material, and the material of cooperation in the field of atomic energy, have you read it?" "Look." "how do you feel?" "not so good." Ling Yunzhu was silent for a while, and then sighed softly, "Actually, many facts have not been written in those materials. The original agreement included arrangements for Chinese scientists to visit their gas diffusion plant and plutonium plant. This was unreported in advance. It was endlessly delayed, and then it was canceled unilaterally! The production flow chart paper, intermediate products and atomic bomb samples that were originally provided to us were also cancelled..."

"What's the reason?" "I didn't explain the reason at all. I did explain the 'reason' once. Regarding the blueprint of the uranium enrichment cascade, it said that the Chinese comrades were not good enough, the gap was too big, and they couldn't understand..." "Is there such a thing?" Ding Jieqiong raised his eyebrows. "However, my country's unique top-grade uranium ore and our successful trial-produced ion exchange resin raw materials, our observations, research results and experimental data are unconditionally and endlessly requested; our laboratories, factories and mines, unconditionally ask for them open……"

Ding Jieqiong listened, frowning. "We have a group of outstanding physicists, but you are the only one who directly participated in the 'Manhattan Project'." Ling Yunzhu looked directly at Ding Jieqiong, "We are facing great difficulties! In this case, your return, Your solid theoretical foundation and unique practical experience are invaluable to the country. In my country's atomic energy industry and nuclear weapon development, you play a pivotal role and play an irreplaceable role..." The female scientist listens, ponders, and is silent. "Jieqiong, you made up your mind back then that you must return to China after you finish your studies, and dedicate all your wisdom and talents to your motherland and people." Ling Yunzhu still stared at the female scientist, with a deep voice, "The night after you returned to Beijing, did you I told my teacher and my wife that we should dedicate ourselves to the cause of making the motherland strong and let China have its own atomic and hydrogen bombs..."

"Teacher, don't you want to set up a special high-energy physics institute?" Ding Jieqiong finally said, "You know, cosmic rays are the research content of high-energy physics, and it has always been my field. I want to work at Gaoshan Station. There are new discoveries in the field. The young people there are highly motivated and thirsty for knowledge, and they are eager for guidance from senior scientists; rare decay examples have been found there many times..." "No, Jieqiong, this is not your heartfelt words, at least not entirely. How should I put it? My wife and I understand your pain. However, a lot of pain is caused by history; we cannot change history, but we can create the future Moreover, in a sense, pain is an integral part of life and life, an essential ingredient of human emotion. Therefore, to talk about pain is to talk about life, to talk about life, and to talk about feelings. Who has not experienced pain? Xing Xing is the youngest, but look, her face is full of tears. Su Guanlan is in more pain than you. You held on that day, but he fainted! He just got out of the hospital today, and came to the airport before he came home..." Ding Jieqiong took a deep look at Su Guanlan with worried and loving eyes. "To Ye Yuhan, what should I say? If it is said that 'saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda', then her personality monument has already reached the sky. However, she has suffered for decades; I dare not imagine that her life How much happiness have you enjoyed?" "Teacher..." Ding Jieqiong's voice implied pleading. Ding Jieqiong has enjoyed happiness.During the more than ten years of being in love with Guanlan, she was happy because of enjoying love and yearning for marriage.However, what about Ye Yuhan during those ten years?She is completely immersed in darkness and despair! Yes, later, Ye Yuhan got Su Guanlan, got married, had a family and children... But, did she get all the love from her husband?Is she really happy? Ding Jieqiong knew that this was impossible, no matter relying on intuition or understanding and experience of life.It was only today, at this moment, that Teacher Ling pointed it out: "She has suffered for decades, how much happiness has she enjoyed in this life?" What Teacher Ling didn't answer is that her existence, Ding Jieqiong, is the source of Ye Yuhan's lifelong pain... As Ling Yunzhu said, his eyes were moist, he was a little short of breath, and even coughed lightly for a while.Ding Jieqiong felt guilty and uneasy, and stretched out her hand to beat the teacher's back.Professor Ling waved his hand and said, "Do you still remember my parting words 25 years ago, on the eve of your departure abroad?" "Remember, remember," Ding Jieqiong nodded repeatedly.In fact, this was the topic she was most afraid of.She even hoped that Teacher Ling would forget about it; however, it can be clearly seen now that the old professor has not forgotten... "I told you, and you promised, never forget your parents!" Panting, Ling Yunzhu continued, "How many patriots and revolutionaries have come out of your family, and they have fought for the revival of the motherland and the rise of the nation. If you are a good daughter of your parents, you will think of the motherland first in everything like them..." Ding Jieqiong lowered her head, her shoulders twitched, and her face was buried in her hands. Song Subo winked at her husband.The meaning is obvious: don't continue this topic... Tears flowed from Ding Jieqiong's fingers. "Your teacher and I, Su Guanlan and Ye Yuhan, Lu Ning and Ah Luo, oh, and little Xingxing, we all love you. Why did we rush to the airport? To keep you. You returned to Beijing alone, and you were alone Leaving will make us feel very painful, because we will feel that we have not fulfilled our responsibilities to you and the country. Even if you go to Takayama Station, you will feel very painful, because you will realize that you have not only failed your ancestors, but also failed you. You left Beijing when the country was facing difficulties and the motherland needed you most! Cosmic rays are important basic research, but what the country needs most now is cutting-edge engineering, which is related to the destiny of the country and the dignity of the nation Nuclear weapons development—and currently only Beijing has concentrated our country’s elite divisions in this field. After you arrive at Gaoshan Station, you will still have a great pain, that is, you will miss your relatives in Beijing, and you will always look forward to returning to us..." At this moment, a waitress walked up to Professor Ding Jieqiong and muttered something.It seems to say that the flight to Kunming has already started boarding, do you need their help? Ding Jieqiong raised her wrist to look at her watch, thinking, while opening her satchel, she stood up silently with tears in her eyes. People also stood up. When Vice President Ling Yunzhu and Ding Jieqiong had a long and earnest talk, Lu Ning had left the sofa and wandered back and forth in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows; he would stop from time to time to look at everyone, or glance out through the gap in the curtain.Now, he also raised his wrist to look at his watch, then walked quickly to the female scientist, stretched out his right index finger upwards, and said softly in a gentle and friendly voice: "Sister Qiong—I also call you that, okay? In this way, sister Qiong, please wait a little longer, two or three minutes." Ding Jieqiong looked at Lu Ning with a surprised expression. Lu Ning turned his head to Su Guanlan's ear and said, "A comrade from the central leadership is here..." Su Guanlan was slightly taken aback, and stepped to the window in three steps and two steps, and opened the thin white gauze curtain a crack.When he looked outside, his heart beat immediately, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Ah, Premier Zhou!"
