In April 1961, Nie Rongzhen came to Hangzhou to live in a villa on the shores of Xizi Lake. Xizi Lake, originally from Su Dongpo's poem "want to put the West Lake than Xizi, light makeup and thick smear is always appropriate". This place is a beautiful lake and mountains, quiet and beautiful, there are hundreds of intoxicating flowers, flowing water, whether walking Su Causeway, White Causeway, Flower Harbor, or boating on the lake, Qu Yuan appreciate the lotus, everywhere is pleasing to the eyes of the charming scenery. No wonder the ancient poets left "the lake brimming with sunshine is good, the mountain color is also strange rain", "sparse shadow slanting water is shallow, the dark fragrance floating moon yellow error", "catching the sky lotus leaves infinite turquoise, reflecting the sun lotus flowers different red" and so on the wonderful poems it! Nie Rongzhen in this to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature, thinking, can not sleep at night, many problems in the mind:
Since the "Great Leap Forward" movement, some scientific and technological personnel have been subjected to a variety of impacts, some of the comrades with the spirit of research is regarded as "business first", "technology", the scientific research of intellectuals has been seriously frustrated, and to varying degrees in other scientific research units by the impact, the objective laws of scientific work is not affected, the scientific work is not the first, "technology", "technology". Many scientists have reacted strongly to the fact that the objective rules of scientific work are not respected. These are all obstacles to the further development of the cause of science and technology.
Scientific research policy and intellectuals policy have reached a point where they must be systematically adjusted! Just when Nie Rongzhen was y concerned about the seriousness of the problem, the Central Committee of China **** on January 14, 1961 in Beijing, held the eighth session of the Ninth Plenary Session. At the meeting, Chairman Mao proposed that the whole party should vigorously promote the wind of investigation and research, everything from the actual starting point.
He first came to the Missile Research Institute.
In this investigation, he looked for some people to talk to, to understand the situation. Some people reflected: our Missile Research Institute is in the vicinity of the State Guesthouse, there are a lot of welcome tasks fell on the scientists. Some experts engaged in rocket and missile technology, and even scientists who have made a name for themselves in the domestic and international scientific circles, have to stand on both sides of the street, against their will, with small paper flags, to welcome foreign guests. There is also a reflection: every Saturday afternoon, the party members to carry out party activities, not members of the party, but also have to be arranged to go to labor, or cleaning, or planting vegetables, dry until the evening is not allowed to go home. The first thing I want to do is to get the money to pay for it.
Now is not generally recognized that our science and technology is too backward? Why let the 20th century in the field of cutting-edge science of the country's proud son to do these things? This is really puzzling and thought-provoking question.
"This 'Immortal Society' is good!" Many influential scientists ran to tell each other, proactively rushed to go to the "Immortal Society", their previous want to say but do not dare to say the problem are spoken out.
After a painstaking and meticulous investigation, Nie Rongzhen from more and more experts, professors and scholars reflect, see the seriousness of the problem. Intellectuals policy is not clear, the mood of researchers is not comfortable, how can this accelerate the pace of scientific research? And how can they give full play to their intelligence?
After a period of reflection, Nie Rongzhen took some of the solutions to the problem to Hangzhou ......
Recovering from the galloping thoughts, Nie Rongzhen from the memories of the past and thinking, bred a strong desire to turn into an important proposal So, he asked the secretary to immediately notify the State Science and Technology Commission, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the main person in charge of Han Guang, Liu Xiyao, Anton, Lu Yang, Zhang Jinfu, Du Runsheng, etc. came to Hangzhou, the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, Liu Shuzhou, Shu Wen, etc. also came. So many leading comrades of the scientific and technological front together, from April 16 onwards, a series of more than ten days of meetings. They addressed the impact of a number of units, intellectual policy and scientific research work policy and other aspects of in-depth study, the formulation of the "natural science research institutions on the current work of the fourteen draft views" (referred to as "scientific work of fourteen").
The "fourteen articles of scientific work" draft, especially on which the fundamental task of scientific research institutions, intellectuals red standard and the relationship between red and specialization, the party how to lead scientific research, etc., Nie Rongzhen personally and carefully modified, even a sentence, a word, a punctuation is not spared.
"Thanks to everyone's efforts, there is finally a solution to the problem ah." Nie Rongzhen couldn't help but sigh after revising the last word, and then he laughed out loud.
Hearing his sudden child-like indulgent laughter, the comrades around him could not help but laugh.
Because the "fourteen articles of scientific work" is designed to systematically and comprehensively exclude the influence of errors in scientific research, which is also Nie Rongzhen for many years of anxiety, to find a general solution, so he and everyone can not help but laugh out loud.
In memory, remembering Nie Shuai at that time that kind of angry smile, no one does not feel full of strength.
This is what Nie Rongzhen put forward to the central government after the "fairy meeting" in Shanghai, the "fourteen articles of scientific work".
This is Deng Xiaoping called the "scientific constitution" of the "scientific work of 14".
This is the majority of the old, middle-aged and young scientists unanimously embraced, unanimously praised "great! The "fourteen articles of scientific work".
Hearing these words, Premier Zhou's heart is very heavy.
For a few days, he did not know what to eat, and he did not sleep well at night. Looking at the office desk "14 articles of scientific work", Premier Zhou recalled five years ago in Huairen Hall to discuss the "14 articles of scientific work" scene.
It was July 6, 1961, the morning of eight or nine o'clock in the sun is still as usual, the bright sunlight shot in, full of gold; a burst of cool little south wind, blowing in front of the house behind the ancient cypress and ancient pines rustling, seems to welcome the arrival of people one after another. At this time, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Peng Zhen, Li Fuchun and most of the members of the Politburo arrived. They had come to attend the meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, which was devoted to the study of the "Fourteen Articles of Scientific Work". Chairman Mao was not present at the Politburo meeting, which was chaired by Liu Shaoqi.
Liu Shaoqi began: "Today, we invite Comrade Nie Rongzhen to talk about the fourteen articles of scientific work ......"
After careful discussion, we unanimously support the "fourteen articles of scientific work", the practical implementation of the Party's policy on intellectuals, mobilizing scientific and technological personnel, and promote the development of China's scientific and technological cause.
The meeting was attended by a number of representatives of the government.
At the meeting, Zhou Enlai said, this document, finance, culture and education system can also be issued. To make it clear to our cadres, we serve scientists well, scientists will serve socialism well. In short, it is all for socialism.
This document was adopted by the meeting and later sent to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao carefully read the "fourteen articles of scientific work" and considered this document good. Chairman Mao approved, the Central Committee of China **** the "scientific work of the 14 articles" in the form of the Central Committee document approved for the whole country. The document clearly points out: "scientific work 14" in the proposed policy provisions and specific measures are correct, requiring all intellectuals to work in the sector must be carried out.
From then on, an unprecedented scientific spring was born!
The majority of intellectuals in all scientific research units belonging to the State Science and Technology Commission (SSTC) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reacted strongly to the "Fourteen Articles on Scientific Work". They were so excited that they burst into tears and rushed to tell each other: "This document is very important, very timely, very necessary, and truly reflects what we have to say. This document is very important, very timely, very necessary, and truly reflects what we have to say! Great!"
Hundreds of thousands of intellectuals of scientific research motivation further mobilized, their patriotic zeal and passion for work is higher, they really want to fight! Many scientific research institutions, libraries, laboratories of the lights night and night, with the moon, stars, as from evening until dawn, shining all night; the research preparations, especially the research of cutting-edge weapons is progressing very quickly, the speed of which is beyond people's expectations. Someone said with feeling: "This is a miracle! The miracle of the East! The miracle of our planet!"
Yes, it was indeed a great, world-shaking miracle!
On October 16, 1964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated.
On October 27, 1966, a successful test of a combination of an atomic bomb and a missile made by China itself showed the world that China had mastered a nuclear missile that could be used in actual combat.
On June 17, 1967, China's first hydrogen bomb was successfully detonated with an explosive power of more than 3 million tons of TNT equivalent!
China achieved breakthroughs in atomic bombs, missiles, and hydrogen bombs at a pace that shocked the world. Many breakthroughs have also been made in other areas of national defense and civilian science and technology. These achievements reflect the ambition and infinite wisdom of the industrious and courageous Chinese people, and demonstrate the immense power of the policy of independence and self-reliance under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as the efforts of the majority of scientific and technological workers. Of course, it also contains the great impetus of the "fourteen articles of scientific work". If there is no "fourteen articles of scientific work" after the years of practical work, atomic bombs, missiles and hydrogen bombs can not be tested so quickly and successfully.
Zhou Enlai review of China's scientific and technological cause of the development of this course, can not help but surging, passionate, unstoppable. He thought more and more think more and more feel, "scientific work 14" is really very good, but now want to criticize it, criticize Nie Rongzhen, which makes no sense.
He did this, not only because Nie Rongzhen is his close comrade in arms, but more importantly, he believes that he must uphold justice, uphold the truth, defend justice, defend the truth.
Zhou Enlai went to Nie Rongzhen, Zhou Enlai said: "Nie old total, people say 'fourteen articles of scientific work' is the black line, I say it is the red line, the red line in the scientific research front dominant position ......" Not much to say, but it expresses his infinite trust in Nie Rongzhen, "fourteen articles of scientific work" resolutely affirmed.
Nie Rongzhen listened to Premier Zhou's words, immediately felt a warm current surging to his heart. He felt hot, could not help but hold on to his old comrade's hand, and did not let go for a long time. The friend in need is a friend in need. Nie Rongzhen more than once this deep thought: in the fate of the ups and downs, the most can see people's high morale. A person in the smooth time, there are many friends to visit, often endless words of praise. But often a person in the work or life suffered a great deal of difficulty, some of the old "friends" will leave, and even worse, will fall on the well. Of course, there are people to you to extend a warm hand, to give you comfort and warmth, and some will also be held tightly, pulling you hard, until pulled out of the adversity. The latter kind of friendship is the one that can withstand the test and is worth cherishing.
However, at that time, it was the day of the rampage, the faction of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission did not let Nie Rongzhen live in peace, they conspired to convene a fight to criticize the "fourteen articles of scientific work", criticizing Nie Rongzhen.
Premier Zhou learned of these people's plans, made a special trip to persuade and educate them patiently, said very seriously: "Nie presided over the formulation of the 'fourteen articles of scientific work', was discussed and approved by the Politburo of the Central Committee, and sent to Chairman Mao for approval. The Chairman was pleased to say, 'This document is good.' If you still want to openly criticize it, you will be disrespecting the Chairman. Besides, 'the fourteen articles on scientific work have proved to be something that works after years of practice and the test of time. It is a 'scientific constitution', the majority of scientific researchers for the excitement, for the excitement, for the encouragement, scientific research enthusiasm also for the further rise. Only three years later, we had our own atomic bomb, followed by our own hydrogen bomb and missile nuclear weapons. All of this is witnessed by the eye **** ah!"
In order to develop atomic bombs, missiles and hydrogen bombs, Marshal Nie Rongzhen almost devoted the second half of his life.
Nuclear weapons research and development, not only need the majority of researchers, but also need Marshal Nie Rongzhen.
Nie Rongzhen is very grateful. Premier Zhou Enlai's care was a powerful force that finally stopped some people's wrongdoings. Zhou Enlai also added the words "Long live the great, glorious and correct China **** Producers Party" to their speech at the conference.
One day soon after, Nie Rongzhen went to visit Premier Zhou. Premier Zhou saw this y persecuted old subordinate, feel extraordinarily cordial. The two had a long conversation. Before parting, Nie Rongzhen said to Premier Zhou with concern: "Premier, you are thinner than before, and your eye sockets are getting deeper and deeper. In the face of the current serious situation of the whole army and the country, you can take good care of your health ah!
Zhou Enlai nodded his head while saying fondly, "You, too, should take good care of your health!"
Each other's exhortations, embracing how deep and sincere feelings ah!
These feelings are also revealed in their gaze, conversation and behavior.
The people around them all have infinite respect for this simple and natural but strong and deep emotions. Only after reading the life, the utilitarian between the people, only to establish this love like brotherhood. Only this stormy boat, in times of trouble and **** confidant, can have the fusion of two hearts. Only this fusion in the world is the most precious and valuable!
