Life has been in a hurry for decades, and the road is long, and it's Xiu Yuan.

Du Shenghua, 1936 was born in Liudu Village, Camel Street, and used to be an ordinary farmer. His family was poor and suffered a lot. He experienced the Japanese army's crazy sweeping in the countryside, tasted bran cakes made of rice husk and sent water to the guerrillas who fought bloody battles. At the age of six, he followed his grandfather to herd cattle and do farm work in the fields. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he can already carry more than 50 kilograms and drive for more than ten miles. The hard childhood honed Du Shenghua's physique and made him feel the tenacity of this profession in the face of loess.

1In August, 950, Du Shenghua, who was smart and eager to learn, was admitted to Zhenhai County Junior High School (now Zhenhai Middle School). However, in just one semester, he dropped out of school because of family financial difficulties, and thanked President Zheng Fanghua for his help, exempting tuition and fees and living expenses.

If that choice, Zhenhai's countryside lost a simple farmer and gained an outstanding scientist. The latter choice inevitably binds Du Shenghua's growth trajectory with the dignity and prosperity of the country.

1953 In May, two teachers, Weng Shilie and Zhong Fangyuan, came to Ningbo, where Du Shenghua was studying, and introduced the enrollment of shipbuilding majors.

"When I chose to volunteer for the college entrance examination, I finally determined the goal of contributing to the development of China's shipbuilding industry." At that time, he was moved by the sincere speeches of two teachers, and his great ambition of devoting himself to science and serving the country was buried in his heart.

Three years later, in the summer, he was still cutting rice in the paddy field, sweating like a pig, holding the letter of admission from Shanghai Institute of Shipbuilding Industry in the hands of the postman and becoming the first college student in the village after liberation. Soon, he packed his bags alone and embarked on the road of studying hard.

During the period of 1958, the United States entered an arms race with the former Soviet Union, and western European countries began to restore their economies. China, which experienced the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, also launched a competition to defeat the enemy in the field of science and technology for the further prosperity of the country. Many domestic universities opened high-tech majors such as aerospace and nuclear engineering. In the same year, Du Shenghua, who studied the basic course of Marine Power Department for two years, was transferred to the newly established nuclear engineering major in the school because of his excellent academic performance.

"Because the nuclear engineering major involves nuclear weapons technology, European and American countries imposed a strict blockade on China, and the former Soviet Union adopted confidentiality measures against China." Du Shenghua said that in the absence of professional teachers, relevant professional textbooks and experimental means, he switched from engineering to science and engineering, which suddenly disrupted all the learning modes he was already familiar with. "It is very abstract to learn 24 more courses, and newly added microscopic theory courses such as neutrons and nuclear fission." He recalled.

In order to understand the nuclear industry systematically, Du Shenghua often goes to the library alone to find the original works of nuclear engineering published by the former Soviet Union and the United States and read them carefully. With the greatest enthusiasm and curiosity, he completed his five-year study step by step.
