Hu devoted to education and water conservancy.
Strong memory and
Hu (1868— 1928), a word Erlin, was a modern educator and water conservancy expert, and was born in Yanqiao Village, Wuxi City. I was ambitious when I was young. I graduated from Nanyang College, studied in Hong Wen Teachers College from 65438 to 0902, joined the League organized by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and participated in the Revolution of 1911 after returning home. After the failure of the Revolution of 1911, warlords scuffled. He hated his official career and focused on education and water conservancy.
Hu was once the principal of Wuxi Public Welfare Industrial and Commercial Middle School, Yixing Middle School and Changzhou Middle School, and was well received. He also founded Hu Gongxue (the predecessor of Yanqiao Middle School) in his hometown to train talents. The area in front of Yanqiao Village became the "cultural area" of Wuxi Beixiang at that time. At the same time, he founded the "library in front of the village" in his hometown, donated all the10.6 million books collected by his family and mobilized his sons and nephews, and collected them from other parties. Its collection and scale were second to none in Wuxi County at that time.
Hu is famous for his research in water conservancy and hydrology.
He was employed by Jianghuai Water Resources Survey Bureau and traveled all over the south of Huaibei, surveying the terrain, measuring the water level and seeing the danger. He worked hard and achieved excellent results. He wrote "Jianghuai Water Conservancy Survey" and "blueprint for actual measurement of Huaiyi Temple". Later, he served as a member of Taihu Water Conservancy Bureau. After 56 years of actual measurement, he put forward the implementation plan of Taihu Water Conservancy Project and wrote Taihu Water Conservancy Planning. Under his initiative, Wuxi County Water Conservancy Engineering Bureau and Water Conservancy Research Association were established, which made great contributions to Wuxi's farmland water conservancy.
In his later years, Hu suffered from severe lung disease. Unable to act, he is still obsessed with the development of water conservancy. In case of heavy rain, he hired a boat to go out, measured the water level with a water meter, and went out early and returned late. When his illness got worse, he still sat on the cane chair and asked two people to carry him to work. After his death, his disciples erected a bronze statue for him in the park in front of the village. When the bronze statue of 1935 was unveiled, Wu Zhihui wrote the seal script of "Stone Statue of Mr. Hu" and carved it on the stone tablet to commemorate it. This bronze statue was unfortunately destroyed by the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution. There is a statue of Mr. Hu in the Hall of Fame in Wu Culture Park today.
