"The Queen of Nuclear Bombs and Her Sea of Stars" is a magnificent scientific epic and love legend. It tells the story of He Zehui, the "Queen of the Nuclear Bomb" who came out of the water town of Suzhou, and Qian Sanqiang, the "Father of the Chinese Atomic Bomb". This pair of scientists, known as the "Chinese Curies", spanned the magnificent life of nearly a century. The novel uses He Zehui's favorite cheongsam as an image to show her extraordinary achievements and tenacity and elegance as the top female scholar of Tsinghua University, a female doctor of ballistics in Germany, the discoverer of uranium nuclear fission, the founder of the China Nuclear Physics Laboratory, and the developer of the core neutron source of the atomic bomb. At the same time, she affectionately describes the deep feelings between her and Qian Sanqiang from their classmates at Tsinghua University to Paris, from their side-by-side scientific research to their return to serve the country, from their two-bomb attack to their friendship through thick and thin. They gave up their overseas privileges and built China's nuclear industry from scratch; they guarded the flames of science during the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution; in their later years, they still cared about the sky and promoted international cooperation. This is a hymn to a hero who is dedicated to science and loyal to the motherland. It is a majestic epic about wisdom, courage, love and faith. Their lives, like the asteroid named after He Zehui, will always shine brightly in the starry sky of human civilization.
