Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

The Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sijiu City.

This place used to be a gathering place for China's high-tech talents.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many patriots returned from abroad to build the country and contribute to the motherland.

Half of the credit for China's scientific and technological achievements in recent years can be attributed to the scientists here.

But now this place is completely different from what it used to be.

Due to the destruction caused by the committee and Hong Xiaobin, this place has become dilapidated.

And those scientists who were regarded as national treasures in later generations could only clean the streets with brooms and shovels.

They eat the worst food and do the most tiring and dirty work.

The knowledge that these people once took pride in has now become the reason for their downfall.

It's a bit ridiculous but also helpless.

As the bell rang, these people could finally put down their tools and drag their tired bodies to the cafeteria.

The lunch at noon only consisted of steamed bread with boiled water, two small ones for each person.

This amount is not enough for an adult to eat, and the steamed bread they are given is often moldy.

But they've become accustomed to this.

They have long been numb to such days going on day after day.

They are only alive by relying on a breath of energy.

But the situation today is a little different.

Just when these people arrived at the cafeteria, the cook who had treated them like evil spirits was now speaking flattering words to a young man in a fawning manner.

"Leader, except for some of the people you mentioned who are undergoing transformation in other places, most of the others are here, a total of 31 people."

"Okay, I'll take these people away first."

The young man looked at the cook expressionlessly, then took those people on the truck and left.

These scientists were somewhat confused.

I don’t know where this young man is going to take them or what he is going to do.

A brave one couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Leader, where are you taking us?"

The man did not answer his question, but just said casually:

"I can't tell you yet, you'll know when the time comes."

Seeing that the other party did not explain, the group looked at each other and finally fell silent.

The truck drove for about half an hour and finally stopped in front of a yard.

The young man led them into the yard.

Thirty or so people in the small yard seemed a bit crowded.

The young man led the person in and pointed at some food on the table and said:

"You guys eat first, the chief will be here soon."

After saying that, he left.

A group of people couldn't help swallowing as they looked at the food on the table.

They hadn't eaten yet when they were taken away.

I'm hungry now.

In addition to some large white steamed buns, there was also a large pot of braised pork on the table.

Big white steamed buns with braised pork are not something that most people can eat these days.

"This... is really for us to eat?"

One of the middle-aged men glanced at the food on the table and finally focused his eyes on the braised pork.

"He just told us to eat first."

"But are they really that kind? They didn't poison him, did they?"

"Who cares? Even if I have to be poisoned to death, I'd rather die a well-fed ghost."

One of them couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed a big white steamed bun, put the braised pork in it and took a big bite.

He didn't know he hadn't eaten meat in several years.

The taste of meat and fat filled his mouth and made his eyes moist.

It turns out that having enough food to eat is such a happy thing.

Seeing how deliciously he was eating, the people around him couldn't help themselves.

He walked up, grabbed the steamed bun and started eating.

In a short while, all the food on the table was eaten up.

Even the dish containing the braised pork was polished by the steamed buns.

After everyone had eaten their fill, the big boss finally arrived.

One person recognized the identity of the leader and excitedly stepped forward and shouted:

"Minister Liu! Is that you?!"

"You are...? Chen Qi!"

"It's me! Minister Liu!"

The big boss' eyes turned red as he looked at the man's emaciated face.

These people are the pillars of the country.

Now everyone is like a refugee.

The big leader looked at these people and finally said, "You have suffered."

Everyone's eyes turned red when they heard this.

They did suffer.

I have been persecuted and tortured over the years.

Which one is not exhausted physically and mentally?

"Minister Liu, are you here to help us this time?"

The man just now knew the identity of the big leader and was looking at him expectantly.

The person in front of them might be able to change their fate.

"Everyone, I'm here to tell you that I've applied to my superiors for a transfer to the south for research, and this time I'm transferring you along on the pretext of development and construction.

But this is just a superficial statement. In fact, this time someone wants to invite you to a place where you can also use your strengths. "

The big leader then described the plan that Wang Jianjun had mentioned.

After listening to the leader's words, some people were very excited, while others fell into deep thought.

One of them hesitated for a while before asking:

"Big boss, do we have to go over there?"

"This choice is up to you, but I promise you. Even if I don't go there, I will do my best to protect you.

As for those who are willing to go, don't worry. Comrade Xiao Wang has promised me that he will not treat you unfairly."

A group of scientists looked at each other.

In the end, some of the thirty or so people chose to follow the leader, and some chose to leave with Wang Jianjun.

Only a few individual statements require further consideration.

The top leader did not make any statement on the selection of these people.

After all, this is about a person's future.

He couldn't make decisions for these people.

In the following period of time, the leader used various methods and found various connections.

In the end, they managed to put together a team for Wang Jianjun.

Only about fifty people went.

Nearly half of the remaining people are unwilling to go. Most of these people are reluctant to leave their hometown, and they are afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the living habits there as they have a large family in the country.

Among the remaining people there are talents from all walks of life.

There are even medical talents among them.

The top leaders also discussed this with Wang Jianjun. Although these people are not the talents Wang Jianjun needs at the moment, they are also experts in other industries.

Wang Jianjun didn't care about this.

He wants all the talented people now, it's not like he can't afford to support them.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that there was no top scientific master like Qian Xueyan among these people.

He curiously asked his senior leader and found out that those top talents had been specially protected by the military.

Currently conducting important research at a secret base.

And the person who protected them was Mr. Zhou.

Even the big leader revealed a piece of news.

The reason he was able to get rid of so many scientists this time was because of the backdoor that was opened for him.

When Wang Jianjun heard the news, he felt a little sad.

This gentleman's life was truly selfless and for the public good.
