CCTV News: On February 6, Mr. Huang Xuhua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the chief designer of China's first generation nuclear submarine engineering, passed away at the age of 99. In the past two days, many people have gone to the China Shipyard 719 to pay their respects to this meritorious scientist who devoted his life to the national nuclear submarine cause.

At less than nine o'clock in the morning, many citizens have arrived at the condolence scene. Next to the fence at the door, flowers were neatly placed, and each card was filled with deep respect and endless grief for Academician Huang Xuhua.

"Your dedication has protected the peace of the motherland and expanded the deep blue journey. Although it is far away, its spirit is like a bright star, which will always illuminate the way forward for later generations." The citizen who was interviewed said that he came from Xiangyang specially. As the backbone of the country, Huang Lao should learn from Huang Lao's spirit, his spirit of dedication to scientific research, and his spirit of loving the motherland and dedicating to the country.

The reporter noticed that many of these flowers were sent by express delivery. The sender chose to express their respect in this way because he could not visit the scene in person. One of the express delivery forms read: Academician Huang Xuhua, you have hidden your identity and devoted your efforts to make immortal contributions to my country's nuclear submarine industry. The signature is "the future navy."

Among the numerous flowers, an exquisite nuclear submarine model is quietly placed. Its owner is a teacher from Wuhan. After learning about Huang Lao's death, he immediately purchased the model and assembled it overnight just to send it to Huang Lao's side to express his respect and nostalgia.

At the condolence scene, there were many people from other places. Ms. Xu, a family from Jiaozuo, Henan, changed her itinerary to offer three flowers she bought on site.
In the past two days, the temperature in Wuhan has approached zero degrees Celsius. In the cold wind, many parents have held the children's hands and stepped onto the steps, holding white chrysanthemums in their hands and waiting silently to bid farewell to Academician Huang. When they walked out of the condolence hall, many citizens had tears in their eyes. Among them are gray-haired, over 80 years old, and young people who stand quietly on the scene and are reluctant to leave for a long time.

Ms. Fang, a citizen of Wuhan, said in an interview: "I know him, but he doesn't know us. I saw his deeds and cried at home. I think the star we want to chase is such a great person. Let young children understand that such unknown people stand up for the backbone of the country."
Ye Zhihong, a staff member of the 719th Institute of China Shipbuilding Group: "I am a new employee in the institute. Since my second year of high school, the head teacher gave us "The Top Ten People Touching China" to us. At that time, Academician Huang went up to receive the award. Later, after coming to the institute, the first book I published was "Biography of Huang Xuhua". I also read it seriously. Academician Huang's spirit has always inspired us."
