Tips

history
China's 1967 test made it the fourth nation with a thermonuclear weapon. Physicist (Yú Mǐn) led the 'Yu Min configuration' design — China is the only nuclear power that still maintains hydrogen bombs in deliverable form (per public claims).
memory
= hydrogen, = bullet/bomb. Same family: 原子弹 (atomic bomb), 中子 (neutron bomb), 子弹 (bullet).
