What He Did At Purdue
Deng jiaxian achievements, but also into the line of sight of the us government, they are going to better use of the scientific research conditions, living conditions, leaving him in the United States, his teacher also want him to stay in the United States, confronting friends also retain him, but deng jiaxian refused politely. In October 1950, he gave up the superior working conditions and living environment, back to home with more than two hundred experts and scholars.
