Features: Many times, we think we know everything, but in reality, we know little or nothing; many stories, we know they happened, yet we don’t know how or why they happened. On October 16, 1964, at 15:00, China’s first atomic bomb detonated, a brilliant moment that immediately shook the world. Through years of research and investigation, writer Liang Dongyuan wrote The Atomic Bomb Investigation, based on the testimonies of hundreds of scientists, organizers, and engineering technicians, as well as archival materials, to comprehensively narrate the little-known story of China’s first atomic bomb from decision-making to production. The book was recently published by the People’s Liberation Army Publishing House. In terms of style, the author also made meaningful explorations. The work strives to preserve the originality of collective memories of witnesses and the rambling yet effortless reflections of those involved. The writing is sharp and detached, with a profound depth, where literary and historical elements complement each other, making it an invaluable work of investigative journalism.
