The Father of China’s Aerospace
Perhaps no other scientist has had a greater impact on China’s aerospace science than Qian Xuesen. Described by the authors of the Story of Qian Xuesen as a man with “great scientific thought and scientific spirit” who was patriotic and served his homeland with effort, achievement, and devotion, Qian was an extremely well-respected man.
Born in Shanghai in 1911, Qian attended schools in Beijing and then entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study Railway Mechanical Engineering. However, after the Songhu Battle broke out in 1932, Qian made the decision to switch his major to aviation because he realised that china needed its own powerful air force to protect and defend thel country.
Qian went to the United States in 1935 to pursue his graduate studies. Over the course of the 1930s and 1940s, Qian became a pioneer in American jet and rocket technology. As a graduate assistant at the California Institute of Technology during the 1930s, Qian helped conduct important research into rocket propulsion, and in the 1940s, he and several other people founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, now one of NASA’s leading space exploration centres.
After overcoming some difficulties during his final few years in the US, Qian returned to China in 1955. He received a hero’s welcome from his homeland and was put in charge of not only developing China’s rocket science but also its space and missile programme. At that time, China was poor and its rocket science was undeveloped. No institute or university in China offered rocket science as a major, and there were no talents or experts in this field in China. Nevertheless, Qian did not let that discourage him from taking on the challenge. When asked “Can we Chinese possibly make missiles ”, his reply was a determined “Why not We Chinese are able to make the same things that other people make.”
Under Qian’s leadership, China developed the Dongfeng missiles, followed by the first generation of Long March rockets. In 1970, China successfully launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong l, from a Long March rocket. Because much of the technology behind the Shenzhou rockets can also be traced back to Qian’s research, Qian earned the name of “the father of China’s aerospace.”
Qian read a lot and was extremely knowledgeable, especially in the area of frontier science research. However, what might have made him such an outstanding and creative scientist was probably his strong interest in other things, such as music and drawing. His deep appreciation for art often gave him inspiration in his scientific research.
On 31 October 2009, The whole country was saddened by Qian’s death, and people honoured and remembered him in different ways.

Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous and gifted scientists in physics.
The first was the steady state theory, which holds that the universe has no beginning or end. The other was the big bang theory, which holds that the universe began at a single point in time and space.
This odd combination of characteristics had made him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
He was willing to say what others were afraid to say, and to dream of what others were afraid to dream about.
Above all, Hawking was willing to admit his faults.

Zhong Nanshan, who is a Chinese respiratory medicine expert, has dedicated his life to researching and treating respiratory diseases.
He is not only an outstanding scientist but also a man with a high sense of responsibility and courage to take action. What made him such a good scientist was probably his persistence and hard work in everything he did.
He has actively participated in various scientific research projects and promoted research and treatment of respiratory diseases. He has always been committed to public health, providing crucial advice and guidance during the outbreaks of diseases such as SARS in 2003 and COVID-19 in 2020.
