The first chief engineer of Boeing was a Chinese, His story would make you cry!

波音公司的第一位总工程师是中国人，他的故事会让你泪目！

Alan Mulally, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, praised a man's tremendous contribution to Boeing. The person he mentioned made all the Chinese present feel extremely proud. Some people call him "the father of Boeing". Incredibly, the "Father of Boeing" is actually a Chinese.

波音商用飞机公司总裁艾伦·穆拉利赞扬了一个人对波音公司的巨大贡献。他提到的那个人让在场的中国人感到无比自豪。有人称他为“波音之父”。令人难以置信的是，“波音之父”竟然是中国人。

In 1916, Boeing was born in a handicraft workshop in Seattle, USA, and has gradually developed into a giant in the global aerospace field over the past century. But Few people know that the early rise of Boeing is inseparable from a Chinese. He is Boeing's first aerospace engineer-Wong Tsoo.

1916年，波音公司诞生于美国西雅图的一个手工车间，在过去的一个世纪里逐渐发展成为全球航空航天领域的巨头。但很少有人知道，波音公司的早期崛起离不开一个中国人。他就是波音公司的第一位航空工程师——王助。

以下是各国网友的评论：

Wong Soo is the father of US aviation, while Sir Charles Kao is the father of fiber optics and the godfather of broadband. Born in Shanghai, he won the Nobel prize for physics in 2009. He was a professor at Yale and chief scientist and director of engineering at US multinational ITT. He returned to China in 2000. He died in 2016. There are many other Chinese who made notable contributions to western technology.

王助是美国航空之父，高锟是光纤之父和宽带之父。他出生于上海，2009年获得诺贝尔物理学奖。他是耶鲁大学教授，美国跨国公司ITT的首席科学家和工程总监。他于2000年回到中国，于2016年去世。还有很多中国人对西方技术做出了显著贡献。

Chinese known to be pioneer in lots of inventions and never accuse others of stealing original ideas, like USA. Hail Wongsoo, you did China extremely proud!!!

众所周知，中国人是许多发明的先驱，从来不像美国那样指责别人窃取原创想法。向王助致敬，你让中国感到无比骄傲！

王助籍贯直隶南公县，民族汉，出生在北京。他和他的同学兼好朋友巴玉藻（巴玉藻是直隶北部克什克腾旗人，出生于江苏镇江）一起做过很多航空生意，直到巴玉藻被日本间谍毒死，于1928年去世。王收养了巴的遗孤。

The famous French military leader and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte once said about China, “There lies a slee giant. Let him sleep! For when he wakes, he will shake the world.”

法国著名军事领袖、皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴曾经这样评价中国：“中国是一个沉睡的巨人。让他睡吧，因为当他醒来时，他将震撼世界。”

Cantonese literally built the USA, not only is the man who got their biggest aerospace company off the ground and designed their passenger jets, but even to this day lead Boeing engineers are cantonese, and also cantonese built the great Western railroad.

美国真的是广东人建造的，不仅是这个人让美国最大的航空公司起飞，设计了他们的客机，甚至直到今天，波音公司的主要工程师都是广东人，而且广东人还建造了大西部铁路。

Americans doesn't appreciate the hard work a dedicated people all over the world to put the United States where it is today,  most American investors are outside the country.

全世界人民的辛勤工作使美国有了今天的成就，但美国人并不感激，大多数美国投资者都去了国外。

如果王助是“波音之父”，那在所有波音运营的国家，他是“飞机之父”！

Zhuge Liang

One thing to take away is this & I hear this over and over throughout history. It doesn't matter how capable you are; in the west, as a Chinese, you will never be fully trusted and promoted to a position matching your talent.

This phenomenon is more apparent today.  Many Chinese scientists are returning to China due to racism experienced in the west.  So, when will the Chinese learn?

在西方，作为中国人，你多有能力并不重要，你永远不会被完全信任，也不会被提升到一个与你的才能相匹配的职位。

这种现象在今天更加明显。由于在西方经历种族歧视，许多中国科学家正在返回中国。中国人什么时候才能明白呢？

The world must not forget Magnetic Compass & Gunpowder technology originated in China as far as I know. I am sure there will be many unrecognized inventors from China like WangTsoo & in many other Asian countries. Technology is for well being of mankind and must not politicize.

世界一定不要忘记磁罗盘和火药技术起源于中国。我相信有很多中国发明家未被认可，比如王助，还有其他亚洲国家的发明家。技术是为了人类的福祉，不能政治化。

Why am I not surprised. Well , that explained the fear of the West about Asians..The Yellow Peril...and for the West ungrateful attitude and pitiful behaviors it will come true..
