When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he learned his motherland was badly in need of scientists and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though American government tried to stop him. In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China’s rocket and air travel program. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China’s first man-made satellite. On April 24, 1970, “Dongdanghong-I” was successfully sent into the air. In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article about the mistake. Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, “I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, he couldn’t have helped to develop science and technology when our country was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution to rocket industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard. ” Mr. Qian died in 2009, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever. 1．Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young?
