Eventful Years

In the 1950s, New China was under the cloud of nuclear threats for a long time and suffered nuclear blackmail from Western countries many times. In 1955, the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an enlarged meeting and made a decision to comprehensively establish my country's atomic energy industry. Scientific and technological workers in various related fields across the country rushed to the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry to devote themselves to the scientific research and engineering construction of my country's first atomic bomb. Chen Weimin, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, led the R&D team to overcome numerous technical problems without fear of hardships and dedication of his youth. At 15:00 on October 16, 1964, my country's first atomic bomb successfully exploded in Lop Nur, Xinjiang. Most of these scientists have never left their real names. Do earth-shattering things and become a celebrity incognito. Safeguard national sovereignty and safeguard national dignity. "Troublesome Years" looks back at the major achievements China's nuclear industry has made in the long history, and demonstrates the spirit of the times of unity and progress.
