    An old farmer lived on a farm with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early to read. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! What good does reading do?"

    The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

    The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out (漏出) before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You"ll have to move a little faster next time," This time the boy ran faster, but again the same took place. It was an impossible task.

    The old man said, "You're just not trying hard enough," So the boy tried a third time and failed. He said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"

    "So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."

    The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.

Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11, 1911. In 1929, Qian placed third in the national college entrance examination and got a chance to attend Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There, he received a degree (学位) in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on railroad administration. In 1932, Shanghai was bombed and invaded by Japan. Qian graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1934, and the following year he left China for graduate study in the US. 

In an age before computers, Qian's ability to quickly perform complex calculations attracted a group of rocket scientists at California Institute of Technology. Qian joined them and received his PhD degree in both aerospace and mathematics three years later. After he graduated, he became a professor as well as a researcher who studied rockets and missile (导弹) theories. 

In 1949, when the news of the birth of the People's Republic of China came to the United States, Qian Xuesen and his wife decided to return to China. In 1950, when they were ready to return home, they were stopped by US officials and sent to prison. With the help of Chinese government and his friends, he finally returned home. 

When he returned to China in 1955, our country's space research was almost deserted. In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missiles. And he personally trained the first generation of China's aerospace engineers. He was a pioneer and was honored as "The father of China's Missiles". He is the pride of the Chinese people. He made important contributions to the missile and space programs in China. 

He passed away on October 31, 2009 at the age of 98, but his history still encourages Chinese youth. His devotion to our country was expressed in his saying, "My career is in China, my success is in China and my destination is in China!" When someone said he could make much more money if he stayed in the United States, he laughed and said, "My family name is Qian, but I don't like qian. "
