he
28 years incognito
It fills the gap in China's nuclear theory
Make outstanding contributions to the breakthrough of hydrogen bombs
he
Won the "Two Bombs and One Star" Meritorious Service Medal
The highest national science and technology award and other lofty honors
Maintain an original heart under the prestige
He said:
"A person's name, sooner or later, is to be missing,
can integrate the meager strength into the strength of the motherland,
is enough to masturbate. ”
He is Yu Min
Recipient of the Order of the Republic
Today
It was the 97th anniversary of his birth
His life
Admirable
It's also moving
1
"The country needs me, I will definitely do my best"
In 1926
Yu Min was born in Tianjin to a small family of clerks
After entering the School of Science of Peking University
His results are at the top of the list
Mentor Zhang Zongsui said
I've never seen physics as good as Yu Min
Two years after the founding of New China
Yu Min is a famous physicist
Qian Sanqiang is the director of the Institute of Modern Physics
Started a scientific career
He proposed with collaborators
A model of the coherent structure of atomic nuclei
It fills the gap in China's nuclear theory
In 1961
Qian Sanqiang told Yu Min
The institute decided to make him the deputy team leader
Lead and participate in the pre-study of the Chinese hydrogen bomb theory
At this time, Yu Min's nuclear theory was studied
We are at a critical juncture when important results could be achieved
But he still chose without hesitation
Obedience to assignments
"The country needs me, I will definitely do my best"
Since then
Yu Min started for 28 years
Incognito career
2
"Domestic Expert No. 1"
Among the leading physicists who developed nuclear weapons
Yu Min has no study abroad experience
Hence the affectionate call
"Domestic Expert No. 1"
At the beginning of the exploration and research of hydrogen bomb theory
The equipment is rudimentary
A computer that is 10,000 times per second
All aspects need to be addressed
Only 5% of the time can be reserved for the hydrogen bomb design
At that time, Yu Min was in the scientific research building where he worked
One night after another lit up
People are trying to figure out a question
Often stay up all night
Make a hydrogen bomb
Our country started entirely from a blank sheet of paper
September-December 1965
Yu Min leads the scientific research team
Completed the history of China's nuclear weapons research
The famous "Battle of the 100 Days"
More than 100 days and nights
Yu Min first immersed himself in the mountain of computer tape
Then do intensive reporting
Lead everyone to discover
The key to self-sustaining thermonuclear combustion of hydrogen bombs
A technical path to break through the hydrogen bomb was found
From principle, material to configuration
Complete hydrogen bomb physics design
Broke the Western monopoly
It played a key role in the breakthrough of the hydrogen bomb principle

China's first hydrogen bomb, successfully exploded
On June 17, 1967, China successfully exploded its first hydrogen bomb over the western region. The successful explosion of the hydrogen bomb is another leap forward in the development of China's nuclear weapons. This is a data photo of the hydrogen bomb explosion. Xinhua News Agency
June 17, 1967
Deep in the Lop Nur Desert
Mushroom clouds soar into the sky
A loud bang shocked the world
China's first hydrogen bomb
Explosion successful!
From the first atomic bomb explosion
By the time the first hydrogen bomb was successfully tested
The United States used it for more than 7 years
The USSR took 4 years
It took China only 2 years and 8 months
Some people honor Yu Min as the "father of the hydrogen bomb"
But he said
This is the cause of thousands of people
4
Incognito for 28 years
Before 1988
Few people know who Yu Min is
Fewer people know what he's doing
After the name is decrypted
Yu Min received the honor
Since 1961, he has been commissioned to study the theory of hydrogen bombs
Declassified by 1988
Over a period of 28 years
Yu Min remained anonymous
For state secrets
He was tight-lipped about his wife Sun Yuqin
Yu Min has been running away for many years
The wife takes care of all the housework
In 2012
Sun Yuqin died of a sudden heart attack
Whenever asked about the most regrettable thing in my life
The first thing that Yu Min thought of was his wife
He said
"The first thing I owe is my love
She took care of me for 55 years
I feel sorry for her
Seeing things often"
Second regret
It's that there is too little discipline for children
The upper does not sue the parents, and the lower does not sue the wife and children
He remained anonymous for the country for 28 years
Maybe ashamed of loved ones
But he was not ashamed of the state
5
Willing to dedicate my life to grandiosity!
Since the 80s of the twentieth century
Yu Min led the team in the second generation of nuclear weapons
Breakthrough key technologies in development
Let China develop nuclear weapons technology
A new level
On 18 September 1999, the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission solemnly held a meeting of scientific and technological experts at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to commend their outstanding contributions to the development of the "two bombs and one satellite." This is Yu Min, a representative of scientists who participated in the development of the "two bombs and one satellite" and winner of the "Two Bombs and One Star Meritorious Service Medal," speaking at the meeting. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Xinqing
He and Deng Jiaxian, Hu Renyu, Hu Side and other scientists
Several times the report was drafted
Analyze the development of related experiments in China
And the gap with foreign countries
Offer to fight for timing
Strategic recommendations to accelerate the pace
On the road of nuclear testing
The United States conducted more than 1,000 times
China has only done it 45 times
Less than one-twentieth in the United States
Miniaturization of atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs, and nuclear weapons
......
This is Yu Min and his colleagues
Written in blood
Historical monuments that lift the spirit of the nation
"Experience the old and new eras, willing to dedicate my life to grandiosity"
Yu Min fulfilled his promise to the motherland
He wrote the modern history of China with sincerity
A saga that hits the heart
June 2023, 8
It is the 97th anniversary of Yu Min's birth
The precious spiritual wealth he left behind
will continue to inspire generations of Chinese
We will never forget you
Salute! Remember!
