Who Is Huang Weilu? Qiang Ye

Little Huang Weilu seemed destined to become an expert of missiles and rockets when he grew up--although he probably didn't know what a missile or a rocket was yet--for a single flying toy was just an unfinished bomb in his eyes! When he was a young man, he was sure that his childhood fantasy of building bombs was not meaningless. His country was at war, and he wanted more than anything else to bring peace to it by making it strong. This determination turned his interest into his career. After studying in the UK for four years, Huang returned to China with the finest knowledge in building missiles and rockets.

This book tells the touching story of Huang Weilu, who dreamed of making his country strong and spent his entire life trying to make it happen. No matter what happened, he was always thinking what he could do for his country, and his selflessness and devotion to his homeland are definitely the most memorable features of his story.
