Assignment Feedback
I am respectful of Deng Jiaxian. He was devoted to carrying
out atomic bomb tests, which accelerated China ’s hydrogen bomb development. His work was difficult and challenging, but pioneering and significant. He calculated huge amounts of complex data with an abacus and did a lot of life-threatening experiments for over 10 years. In spite of the heavy workload and the risk of nuclear radiation , he was so hardworking , selfless and perseverant that, without any recognition in his lifetime, the nameless hero persisted in doing research.
The radio program mainly introduces
