It was on May 29, 1959, when the late Premier Zhou Enlai came to visit Dr. Yu’s laboratory during his inspection tour at the Tianjin University. This has been an unforgettable event in Prof. Yu’s mind. When shaking hands with Prof. Yu, Premier Zhou said: "I heard that you have made great advances in the rescarch of heavy water. I am eagerly waiting for further success in your work. For the honor of our country, we must have heavy water developed with our own hands, in defiance of someone who attempts to strangle us."
