When he was young, he saw that our country was in a very hard situation. He wanted to use his knowledge (知识) to make our country stronger, so he studied really hard. In the 1950s, China started the difficult job of building nuclear submarines (核潜艇). Huang Xuhua joined without thinking twice. During that difficult time, the job seemed impossible to finish. But he and his team never gave up. While they were working, they met many problems. For example, building a nuclear reactor (反应堆) was very hard. Without help from other countries, they had to do research by themselves. Using simple tools like calculators (计算器) and rulers, they worked hard to calculate and test. To keep the job secret (秘密), they cut off communication with the outside world, even their families. Finally, in the 1970s, China’s first nuclear submarine was built and tested successfully. China became one of the countries that could make nuclear submarines. Huang Xuhua didn’t stop there and he kept helping to improve submarine better. His hard work brought him many prizes, including the “Medal of the Republic” in 2019. Now, as we remember him, we find his life story is encouraging.
