What did Deng Jiaxian say to his lover before he died?

Academician Deng Jiaxian's words to his lover before his death were: "If there is an afterlife, I still choose China, choose the nuclear weapons cause and choose you!"

On 1958, Deng Jiaxian and his wife, Xu Luxi, took a family photo and a photo before leaving. However, the young wife doesn't know where her husband is going and what to do. She thought it might be months, a year at the most. But she never imagined that this hasty farewell was a whole 28-year wait.

It was not until 1984 that Deng Jiaxian completed its last nuclear test and returned to Beijing. Xu Luxi, his wife who has been separated for 28 years, is finally looking forward to her husband's return. But in this year, he was ill, but he didn't have time to see a doctor and still worked every day.

In his life, Deng Jiaxian personally experienced 32 nuclear tests and personally commanded 15 times. It was this kind of work that had a great impact on his health and eventually led to his suffering from cancer.

A month before Deng Jiaxian left, his wife Xu Luxi sat in front of the bed and held her hand. He said to his wife, "If there is an afterlife, I will choose China, the nuclear weapons industry and you."

Academician Deng Jiaxian's scientific research achievements;

Deng Jiaxian is one of the founders of China's theoretical research on nuclear weapons, the main organizer and leader of China's nuclear weapons research and development, and is known as "two bombs and one satellite". In the research of atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, Deng Jiaxian led the basic theoretical research of detonation physics, fluid mechanics, equation of state and neutron transport, completed the theoretical scheme of atomic bomb, and participated in guiding the detonation simulation test of nuclear test.

From 65438 to 0958, Academician Deng Jiaxian began to organize and lead the basic theoretical research on detonation physics, fluid mechanics, equation of state, neutron transport and so on, and made a lot of simulation calculation and analysis on the physical process of atomic bombs, thus taking the first step of China's independent research and design of nuclear weapons, leading to the completion of the theoretical scheme of China's first atomic bomb, and taking part in guiding the detonation simulation test before the nuclear test.

After the success of the atomic bomb test, he immediately organized forces to explore the design principle and selected technical approaches of the hydrogen bomb. Academician Deng Jiaxian organized and led and personally participated in the development and test of China's first hydrogen bomb in 1967.
