The "Mother of China's Loongson" has passed away, and her wishes before her death made me cry...

Recently, the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued an obituary. Comrade Huang Lingyi, a retired cadre of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Communist Party of China, died at Peking University Third Hospital at 5:00 on April 20, 2023 at the age of 86 due to ineffective rescue.

She is known as the "Mother of China's Loongson"

Still working on scientific research at over 80 years old

Breaking the Western technology blockade and researching "Chinese chips"

She once said:

My biggest wish is

Prostrate on the ground, wipe away the shame of the motherland

Born in war

Determined to serve the country at a young age

Huang Lingyi was born in Guangxi in 1936

She experienced the pain of displacement when she was still a baby.

Because I have experienced the despair of broken mountains and rivers

Witnessed the panic of the people

In Huang Lingyi's heart

Buried early

The lofty ambition of saving the nation and serving the country

As an adult, Huang Lingyi

Enrolled in Huazhong Institute of Technology (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology)

In 1958, she graduated with honors

And was recommended to study semiconductor at Tsinghua University

At that time, Tsinghua University was

One of the few schools offering semiconductor majors

This means

At this moment she stepped on

The journey of striving for the rise of Chinese science and technology

This way

She's been gone for 60 years

In 1960, she had completed her studies

Back to my alma mater

Started teaching and scientific research

Her research on semiconductors

After being tempered, it becomes deeper and more thorough

While teaching and educating people, he created

The first semiconductor laboratory in China

In extremely bad circumstances

Finally developed my country's semiconductor diode

Shake the world in silence

1962

Huang Lingyi was transferred to work at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

In 1965

In order to break through the bottleneck of "two bombs and one satellite"

The state began to establish the second department of the computer institute

Specializes in microcomputers and triodes

This is China's first chip research team

Lack of information and equipment

In the case of lack of talent and materials

She led the team to work hard

Successfully developed the semiconductor triode

Then embarked on a difficult journey of chip research and development

1966

my country's self-developed space computer is successfully launched

1973

The Chinese Academy of Sciences decided to develop a large general-purpose computer

As a carrier on integrated circuits

Chips are widely used in various fields

It is of great significance to the development of national science and technology

Huang Lingyi and her team

In order to develop a memory with stable performance as soon as possible

Breakthrough step by step

The chips they developed are about to reach the world's advanced level

1978

Won the National Science Conference Major Achievement Award

As of 1984

Substantial progress has been made in transistor research and development

China's integrated circuit and chip development

It is infinitely close to the world level

Prostrate on the ground, wipe away the humiliation of the motherland

1989

Huang Lingyi was invited to attend the International Chip Show in the United States

In the huge venue

She ran around the booth

But no Chinese company was found

She wrote in her diary:

"There are so many non-Chinese products, and I am in tears"

Huang Lingyi once said publicly:

My biggest wish is to crawl on the ground

Wipe away the shame of the motherland

In 2001, 65-year-old Huang Lingyi

Already in retirement

At this time, Professor Hu Weiwu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

A call for the whole country to build a Chinese chip was issued

He personally found Huang Lingyi and invited her to work on chips together

Faced with many difficulties such as insufficient funds

Huang Lingyi resolutely chose to join the Loongson R&D team

Became the project leader

August 10, 2002

my country's first general-purpose CPU "Loongson 1" was successfully developed

Although there is a big difference in performance

But it really broke the history of domestic computers having no chips available.

With the unremitting efforts of Huang Lingyi and other chip professionals

A large number of domestic high-performance chips such as "Loongson 3" came into being

Fuxing high-speed rail has achieved 100% localization

Advanced military equipment such as the J-20 is equipped with phased array radar

Replaced with China's own "heart"

Beidou satellites are also equipped with Chinese chips

Completely broke the Western technological blockade

Over a period of more than half a century

From diodes to "Loongson"

Huang Lingyi uses youth and sweat

Let our country get rid of the situation of no chips available

pay tribute!

May you have a pleasant journey!
