60年前的10月16日，我国首枚原子弹在新疆罗布泊成功爆炸，这声来自东方的巨响，震惊了整个世界。那一天，也是核物理学家钱三强51岁的生日。

　　Sixty years ago, on October 16th, China's first atomic bomb successfully detonated in Lop Nur, Xinjiang, a thunderous roar from the East that shocked the entire world. On that day, it was also the 51st birthday of nuclear physicist Qian Sanqiang.

　　“牛”含量满级的传奇人生：“从牛到爱”

　　The legendary life of “From Ox（Newton）to Love（Einstein）“

　　1913年10月16日，钱三强出生于浙江绍兴一个书香世家，父亲是一代国学大师钱玄同。1932年，钱三强考入清华大学物理系，钱玄同特地手书“从牛到爱”，希望钱三强能发扬属牛的那股“牛劲”，向着牛顿和爱因斯坦的方向前进。这也成为钱三强的座右铭：“铆足牛劲”刻苦钻研，成为原子能事业的“拓荒牛”。

　　Qian Sanqiang was born on October 16, 1913, in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, into a family of scholars, with his father being the first generation of master of Chinese culture, Qian Xuantong. In 1932, Qian Sanqiang was admitted into the Physics Department of Tsinghua University. Qian Xuantong specially wrote “From Ox（Newton）to Love（Einstein）“, hoping that Qian Sanqiang would carry forward the “ox spirit“ of his zodiac sign, moving towards the direction of Newton and Einstein. This also became Qian Sanqiang's motto: “Put in the ox's strength“ to study hard and become the “pioneering ox“ of the atomic energy cause.

　　“虽然科学没有国界，科学家却是有祖国的”

　　“Although science has no borders, scientists have a homeland“

　　1937年，钱三强赴法留学，师从居里夫人的女儿伊雷娜·约里奥-居里。到巴黎后，他几乎每天都泡在实验室里，34岁就成为法国国家科学研究中心研究导师。处于个人事业发展巅峰期的钱三强，做了回国的决定，他说：“虽然科学没有国界，科学家却是有祖国的。”

　　In 1937, Qian Sanqiang went to study in France, under the guidance of Marie Curie's daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie. After arriving in Paris, he spent almost every day in the laboratory and became a research instructor at the French National Center for Scientific Research at the age of 34. At the peak of his personal career development, Qian Sanqiang made the decision to return to China, saying, “Although science has no borders, scientists have their own homeland“.

　　拒做“中国原子弹之父”：千军万马完成

　　Declined the title of “Father of China's Atomic Bomb“: Accomplished by a collective effort

　　归国后，钱三强主持成立了中国科学院近代物理研究所，邓稼先、彭桓武等一批有造诣、有理想的原子能科学家也应邀请前来。在艰苦的条件下，他们白手起家，钱三强将之形象地比作“吃面包从种小麦开始”。在中国第一颗原子弹爆炸成功后，钱三强就被西方媒体称为“中国原子弹之父”，但他表示不接受这种说法，“其实是千军万马的人做的事情，没有一个协作是根本做不到的”。

　　After returning to China, Qian Sanqiang presided over the establishment of the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a group of accomplished atomic energy scientists with lofty ideas such as Deng Jiaxian and Peng Huanwu were also invited. Under difficult conditions, they started from scratch, and Qian Sanqiang vividly compared it to “starting from planting wheat when eating bread“. After the successful detonation of China's first atomic bomb, Qian Sanqiang was called the “Father of China's Atomic Bomb“ by the Western media, but he did not accept this statement, “In fact, it is something done by a collective effort, and it is impossible without cooperation“.

　　1992年，钱三强逝世，享年79岁。1999年，他被追授“两弹一星”功勋奖章。在一封信中，钱三强曾写道：“光明的中国，让我的生命为你燃烧”。这句话穿越了时间长河，照亮了今天的我们。

　　In 1992, Qian Sanqiang passed away at the age of 79. In 1999, he was posthumously awarded the “Two Bombs and One Satellite“ Achievement Medal. In a letter, Qian Sanqiang once wrote, “Bright China, let my life burn for you“. This sentence has traversed the long river of time and illuminated us today.
