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 at the door about Madame Curie's residence. The reporter was surprised when the woman looked up. It turned out that he was Madame Curie.
Madame Curie won ten awards, sixteen medals and one hundred and seven honorary titles, including two Nobel Prizes.
She can enjoy herself with any prize, but she donated the prize money to France in the war and gave the medal to her six-year-old daughter. She has been working as usual.
This is the beauty, the beauty of indifference to fame and fortune, the beauty of courage to devote to science, and the beauty of perseverance and enterprising, which will remain in the world forever.
The second part: Deng Jiaxian's model speech.
I believe that all of you here today have one or more idols in mind.
I'm here today to tell you about my idol. Let's think about three questions first.
Accidentally, you got a doctorate from a famous American school in less than three years, and your tutor will tell you that you are very talented! I think if you stay with me, I will take you and give you the best treatment. If you stay in America, I will make you a world-class scientist.
At this time, how would you choose? Maybe doing scientific research is too far away for you, because none of us are "schoolmasters".
So, if it is your boyfriend or girlfriend, he will come home one day and tell you, say, dear! I'm going to change my job, but I can't say where to go, what to do and how long to go. What are you going to do at this time? Well, if there is one reason, because of your efforts, China has sprung up in this field and improved China's right to speak, what kind of return do you think you should get from this country? My idol has answered these three questions all his life.
26 years old, less than three years, got a doctorate in the United States. On the ninth day after receiving my doctorate, I returned to poor China at 1950.
At the age of 34, he went home and told his wife that I was going to transfer my job and leave tomorrow.
His wife asked him, where are you going? what are you going to do？ How long are you going? His answer is the same: can't say! Can't say! Can't say! Since then, he has disappeared with his wife, two children and everyone who has known him for 28 years.
When I came back, I was a patient with advanced rectal cancer, aged 6 1. 1 As the general manager of the theoretical design of China's first atomic bomb and first hydrogen bomb, 20 yuan won the national prize and special prize, including atomic bomb 10 yuan and hydrogen bomb 10 yuan.
Yes, my idol is Deng Jiaxian.
Since last year, I have had the opportunity to reshape this great scientist on the stage of drama. From that time on, I realized that there were so many unimaginable things hidden behind the four golden characters of "Two Bombs".
It is hard to imagine that in an experimental accident, Deng Jiaxian rushed into the experimental area alone, picked up the broken nuclear bomb and ordered everyone to stand by outside. It is hard to imagine that the consequence of nuclear radiation is that doxycycline used for pain relief has changed from one injection a day to one injection an hour.
It's hard to imagine that what Deng Jiaxian said most when he was lying in his hospital bed was, Go to work! Don't let those countries pull us too far away from China.
20 12 March, I had the honor to visit Deng Jiaxian's wife, Ms. Xu Luxi. I never thought that the wife of two bombs still lived in the old house more than 50 years ago, and the furnishings in the house were no different from those of more than 50 years ago. When we left, the old man said, I told you this today, and I need to have a rest.
It never occurred to me that today, nearly 30 years after Deng Jiaxian left us, the past is not like smoke to their families.
Not long ago, Mr. President went to The Hague, the Netherlands to attend the World Nuclear Security Summit. I was in tears in front of the TV because I thought of Lao Deng.
If Lao Deng were still here, he would be 90 years old this year. How proud and happy he would be if he knew that China was developing so well and China's nuclear experiment was going so smoothly.
If Lao Deng were still here, he would be 90 years old this year. I want to invite him to the studio of "I am an orator" and show him today's dazzling lights and everyone's smiling faces. If Deng is still alive, I want to tell him personally that we children born in 1980s and 1990s really admire him, because of him and the efforts of a large number of scientific and technological workers, China has become what it is now, and we have today's life. We should not forget them.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the success of China's first atomic bomb explosion and the 90th anniversary of Deng Jiaxian's birth. Let's pay tribute to Lao Deng at such a special moment! Pay tribute to every scientific and technological worker! When I was 3 years old, every time I ate fish, my mother always left the fish head for me to eat, saying that I would become smart; My parents want me to train my left hand to hold chopsticks, because left-handed people are smarter; The math teacher always says that if you do all the questions in the book, you will become smarter. When you get smart, take part in the quiz and become smart with a group of smart people. In short, we all grew up in this atmosphere of "wanting to be smart", right? I think, maybe few parents will say, honey, after dinner, you hit your head against the wall for a while, and mom wants you to be stupid.
But today, I just want to discuss with you here. Is being smart really a good thing? At the end of last year, I met a French professor who said to me: You China people are so clever. You don't create, you earn so much money just by copying.
This is the first time that the word "smart" I always thought stung me.
It was very hot at night this summer. My buddies and I went out to eat mutton kebabs. It's getting late. We walked to a booth, and I said, "Grandpa, please help us bake some mutton kebabs". He looked up at me and said, "You are a polite child. Let me bake you some potatoes and mushrooms. " I said, "No, we're here to eat mutton kebabs." He said, "I know, but how can I make money if the two-dollar mutton skewers are really mutton skewers?" Your children are not smart at first sight, and now you can't buy or sell without this intelligence. "What kind of" smart "is this? Don't lie to me, uncle, because I don't read much.
A few days ago, college classmates got together. A classmate told me: "I ranked third in the company last year, but it was not my turn to be promoted to department manager for five places." Do you know why? " Because several colleagues are average, they are always active in giving gifts to the leaders and entertaining them. Hey, I'm really not as smart as them. I want to change from this year. "I used to think that being smart means learning fast, remembering well and understanding well. But I slowly found that "smart" seems to have changed.
