(Institute of Geomechanics, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences)

On June191865438+1October 1 1 day, the Allies signed an armistice treaty with Germany, and the First World War ended in the defeat of the Allies. The Allies held a post-war peace conference in Paris, favoring Japan. 1965438+On May 4th, 2009, the May 4th Movement broke out, which marked the turning point of the old and new democratic revolutions, in order to oppose the partiality of the Paris Peace Conference and sacrifice China's sovereignty.

During the Paris Peace Conference, Ding Wenjiang, director of the China Geological Survey, was a member of the delegation that visited Europe after the war, and an adviser to the China delegation of the Paris Peace Conference [(Ding Wenjiang was born in June 1902, studied in Japan and Britain, and returned to China in191. After returning to China, he founded the Institute of Geology with Zhang as its first president. 19 19 was invited to be a member of the European post-war investigation team and an adviser to the China delegation of the Paris Peace Conference). The head of the delegation is Liang Rengong (Liang Qichao), and the members are Ding Wenjiang, Xu, Jiang Baili, Liu Zihao, etc. The China delegation to the Paris Peace Conference was led by Liang Qichao in 19 19 (in the eighth year of the Republic of China), 19 19. After learning the news that Li Siguang was studying in Britain in May, Ding Wenjiang specially found Li Siguang, indicating that China urgently needed to cultivate its own geological talents. He said, "It is urgent to cultivate geological talents. When Ding visited the United States, he also met Mr. Glip, a paleontologist. Professor Amadeus William Grabau of Columbia University, 1870 ~ 1946, an American Jew, wants to invite him to teach in China.

After returning to China this time, Ding and Hu Shi (a professor at Peking University) talked to Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University, about students' grades. According to Hu Shi's recollection: "After Peking University resumed the Department of Geology, early graduates went to the Geological Survey of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to find jobs, and now Jun (Ding Wenjiang) took the exam himself, and the results of the exam made him very dissatisfied. He came to see me with his exam report card. He said,' Well, your geological department is the source of young talents in our geological survey. I personally gave them a simple test, and everyone was assigned ten kinds of rocks to identify. As a result, no one passed!' I think everyone has many zeros on that table. I asked him what to do. He said, "I want to discuss it with you. We went to see Mr. Cai together and showed his old man this report card. I want him to know how badly the Geology Department of Peking University has done. Do you think he won't blame me for interfering in Peking University? I said,' Mr. Cai certainly welcomes your criticism and will never blame you.' "。 " Later, we went to see Mr. Cai. After listening to Jae Jun's criticism of the Geology Department, Mr. Cai saw a zero score report card. Not only was he not angry, but he also humbly asked Jae Jun to teach him how to rectify and improve his methods. In that conversation, I remember two things. First, hire Mr. Li Siguang (Zhong Yi) as a professor in the Department of Geology of Peking University; The second is that Peking University and the Geological Survey jointly invited Mr. Glip, an American paleontologist, to come to China: he taught paleontology in Peking University and also presided over the paleontology research work of the Geological Survey. "Later, President Cai Yuanpei accepted Ding Wenjiang's suggestion. One is to invite Mr. Li Siguang to be a professor in the Department of Geology of Peking University, giving lectures on petrology and other courses. Secondly, Peking University and the Geological Survey jointly invited Mr. Glip, an American paleontologist, to come to China: while teaching paleontology in Peking University, he also presided over the paleontology research work of the Geological Survey (consultant technician, later director of the paleontology research office).

That autumn, Ding (the fourth brother of Ding Wenjiang) was entrusted by his brother Ding Wenjiang to go to London with Ding to look for Li Siguang. At this time, Li Siguang is working in Cornwall, a famous tin mining area in the east of England. They came to Cornwall, a tin mine in the east of England, looking for Li Siguang. After meeting with Li Siguang, they talked about asking Li Siguang to return to China to teach.

After Cai Yuanpei entered Peking University, he attached great importance to the construction of teaching staff in Peking University. Therefore, he tried his best to explore in many aspects. For those who have real talent and practical learning, he always hires him to teach at Peking University and entrusts Hu Shi to know about overseas personnel. So since last year, Hu Shi has often sent overseas friends to find new teachers for Peking University. Tao and Ren Hongjuan went abroad last year, and Hu Ceng asked them to care about it. Therefore, they wrote many times to report the situation of visiting talents. For example, Tao wrote a letter to Hu Shixin from Europe, which said: "There are students here who are specialized geologists. Li Jun Siguang once worked as a teaching assistant in Birmingham. If it can be extended to our school, they will be competent. Ding Lin, who is only 24 years old, works as a physics teaching assistant in London. I hope I can discuss it with the principal. It would be great if we could let two gentlemen come to our school. " Dow recommended Li Siguang and Ding to study in Britain. At this time, Hu Shi knew something about Li Siguang and Ding who were studying in Britain and recommended them to President Cai Yuanpei.

President Cai Yuanpei immediately hired Li Siguang and Ding to teach in Peking University.

In late autumn, Li Siguang mainly visited some typical geological phenomena and studied German in some areas. Received an employment telegram from London from Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University.

Li Siguang wrote a letter in German to Fu Sinian who just graduated from Peking University and studied in London, England, asking about Peking University. Fu mentioned this in a letter to President Cai. The letter said, "Needless to say, I tried my best to persuade him (referring to Li Siguang) to go (referring to applying for Peking University)," and said that "He Dingjun (Ding, 1920 also applied for a professor of physics at Peking University) are' two scientists' in the English academic circle, which not only makes everyone admire him, but also makes everyone admire him. The science they have learned can truly break away from the mechanical state of mind and enter the artistic state of mind. " "Li Jun's life is not only a scholar, but also a man of chivalry. There are many praises from the study abroad community here. " "Li Jun doesn't want to be hired by Peking University (if he wants to be in the southwest). I think Mr. Li still tries his best to hire him. Being hired by Peking University has many benefits."

Li Siguang learned from Fu Sinian's reply that President Cai Yuanpei had rectified Peking University.

Li Siguang returned to Birmingham University in England after an investigation in Germany. His graduation thesis passed the defense of Birmingham University and was awarded a master's degree in natural science. At this time, his teacher, Professor Baldwin, wanted to keep Li Siguang for further study because he was diligent and clever, and said to him, "You can stay with me to continue your research and strive for a doctorate, and the funds will be provided by me." Seeing that Li Siguang didn't answer, Baldwin and several other professors said to Li Siguang, "If you want to do some practical work, we can introduce you to India (then India was a British colony) and work as a geological engineer in a mine run by the British. As an employee of our British government, your social status and salary will be very rich. " There are three ways out for him: one is to study for a doctorate, which is funded by Professor Baldwin; Second, go to India as a geological engineer and enjoy preferential treatment; Third, return to China. Li Siguang politely declined Professor Baldwin's kindness and insisted on returning to China. In order to gain some extensive practical geological knowledge before returning to China, he went to Cornwall, a famous tin mine in eastern England, to work for a period of time.

Li Siguang came to London with his luggage from Birmingham, where he joined Ding (employed by the Physics Department of Peking University) and Wang Shijie (employed by the Law Department of Peking University) and planned to return to China together. At this time, Li Siguang was invited by the Work-study Students' Union in France to give a speech, and Li Siguang accepted it, and went to Paris in time to start preparing the speech. One night when I was preparing for my speech, I went back to China and thought about the domestic situation, thinking a lot. After studying hard abroad for nearly seven years, he is about to return to his miserable motherland. He knows that China's road ahead is rugged, steep and difficult ... Passion touched his favorite violin music, so he decided to start writing, and wrote a violin song called "Difficult to Walk" on staff paper with eight lines of 12-China's first violin solo was born! The tune of this piece corresponds to its title. Its deep theme is accompanied by high-pitched strong voice, and its ups and downs are accompanied by unrestrained and upward melody, which clearly expresses his firm confidence and difficult course in fulfilling Mr. Ding Wenjiang's entrustment that it is urgent to train geological talents in the dark social environment of old China.

On February 28th, 1920, he went to China to give a speech entitled "Modern Prosperity and Charcoal". He talked about the relationship between prosperity (industrial development) and carbon (energy) and China's rich coal resources and new energy sources and their development from the following three aspects: First, music (culture) in Europe and America, he said: "We see that many people in the world often take things in the world as normal. Even when talking about academics, everyone unconsciously parrots what others say. I'm afraid this is a big reason why human progress is very slow. If you want to get rid of this habit and this bondage, you must first have a spirit. It is natural and admirable that you take the trouble to study in Europe. But the spirit I said is a little different from this meaning. I mean, we should encourage each other and guard against each other. Whenever we meet new sights and theories, we must never be dominated or enslaved by them. We must analyze it and see what it really is. That is to say, in the academic field, the mind is small and courageous, and the brain has the final say (the law of thought-logique). Even in a chaotic world, the doctrine of God's truth can't scare us. Once upon a time in China, Confucius was asked, and he denounced it as heresy. There is no such thing as a lecture now. You can rest assured. Although, you must not deliberately make trouble with others, or show your prejudice, stubbornness and pride, or like to talk about strange ideas and gain fame and reputation. That kind of crazy behavior is not the right way to be brave and diligent, but it is really a mental illness; Far from being on the right track of free lectures. The true spirit of giving lectures can be summed up in one sentence, that is, fighting for the truth. " Then I talked about the relationship between energy and prosperity. He clearly pointed out that the evidence of western prosperity is energy, coal and oil are the main energy sources, and coal is much larger than oil reserves and is the most important energy source. Secondly, the distribution of China coal plants (combined with the needs of geological principles), analyzes the causes and distribution of coal, and then lists the reserves and development of known coal mines in China provinces. Finally, he said that China is rich in coal reserves. He said that before the European war, the world burned about 65,438+million tons of coal every year. If this figure can be the average amount of coal consumed by the world in the future, China's coal can be used by the world for 1000 years. At that time, he estimated that the coal reserves in China were 65.438+0 trillion tons, which was consistent with the economic recoverable reserves predicted by China coalfield geological research department. It was no accident! This is the result of Li Siguang's solid geological knowledge, especially his concern, understanding and research on China with coal resources as its main energy source for many years. He went on to say, "But the more prosperous the place, the more coal consumption increases year by year." It is hard to say that it will increase to dozens of times in the future. Look at China. The coal will burn out soon. Coal around the world will also perish together. Even if it is inexhaustible, the rest will be deep underground. Either it cannot be mined or it is not suitable for mining. However, from our current perspective, what can replace coal to maintain human prosperity? "This is the problem of sustainable development that he has been thinking about and how to develop it. With this problem, the problem of "saving coal and comprehensive utilization of coal" is put forward. Third, taking advantage of the opportunity of future natural forces, he said: "This topic is too big to be discussed in one breath. Modern science is still in its infancy; There is no real solution to this problem. Therefore, what we are discussing here must be not to leak. It is doubtful how valuable the mentioned methods are. Don't worry; Because our purpose today is not to seek several complete solutions. Our aim is, first of all, to let everyone know that it is necessary to study this problem. Second, what paths can be studied? "Then the article is divided into the following parts from the origin: (1) originated from celestial bodies (celestial bodies rotate, such as tidal force). (2) those that have exploded from atoms (atomic fission). (He proposed "atomic fission" as one of natural gas energy sources, almost at the same time that British physicist Rutherford began to study nuclear reactions in 19 19. Since then, Li Siguang has done a lot of work in uranium geological research and uranium exploration, and contributed to the development of nuclear energy in China. (3) the force from the sun (including direct solar radiation energy and indirect water power and wind power, etc.). ) has been discussed extensively and systematically. In a word, he used the importance of energy (mainly coal at that time) to national prosperity and China's abundant coal resources to encourage students studying in France to work and study, and make contributions to the prosperity of the motherland at an early date. It can be seen that Li Siguang attached importance to China's energy development in the early 1920s of 19, so as soon as he returned to China, he started his work in combination with coal exploration, which reflected Li Siguang's urgent desire to refuse foreign welfare, return to the suffering motherland, teach and educate people, develop energy, and make the country rich and strong (Modern Prosperity and Charcoal, Volume 2, No.7, Pacific Ocean, 19202).

In late spring, together with students Ding and Wang Shijie from Birmingham University, they returned to Beijing from London, England via Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Moscow and Siberia. Carry out Mr. Ding Wenjiang's instructions and return to teach at Peking University. He, Ding, Wang Shijie and Yan Shutang share a dormitory with * * * in the East Jixiang Hutong in Di 'anmen.

Li Siguang has been teaching in Peking University. Ding Wenjiang saw that the school salary was low and the life was poor, but Li Siguang still worked hard to teach. Therefore, Li Siguang was repeatedly suggested as the deputy director of Shi Jing Library, but Li Siguang refused to accept it. Finally (at the end of 1922), it was persuaded to accept it. (When Li Siguang first arrived at the library, the National Library Committee of Shi Jing passed a bill, which decided that the salary of the deputy curator would be 500 yuan per month. At that time, Li Siguang explained to the Chairman of the Committee many times: "My personal life is simple and I don't need that amount. But this matter has been decided, and the deputy curator is part of the organization. I may not be the deputy curator forever. It is not convenient to change the resolution immediately without formal procedures, which will affect the overall plan. So at that time, I thought of a way to donate half of it and buy some books for the library and formally write to the Committee ").

Fu Sinian in the article "I know Mr. Ding Wenjiang" (independent comment No. 188): ... He (referring to Ding Wenjiang) planned for a friend, and arranged step by step from beginning to end, including how to get married and have children. According to Mr. Li, you have arranged it for him like this, but Zhong Kui didn't do it exactly according to his method. ...

/kloc-at the beginning of 0/927, shortly after Ding Wenjiang left the general's office of Sun Songhu Commercial Port, the Northern Expeditionary Army pursued Sun and others, involving Ding Wenjiang. Ding Wenjiang came to Beijing and lived in Li Siguang at that time. Later, he went to Dalian for a period of time, and his life was relatively tight. As you can see, his letter to Hu Shi at that time:

Ask for three volumes of contributions, thank you. The writing is excellent, but you are a little too flattering to Yan Xizhai. This is your democratic prejudice-because he is a child in the countryside, he is respected. In fact, he is a rural pedant in disguise, an old fool in the north.

My wife is lonely here. I want to buy some new novels to read, and I have been alienated from the publishing industry recently. Can you recommend some?

Gu came and asked Weng Yongni to fill the vacancy of director Jingsheng, saying that Paimei was very supportive. I have written to Ren Zhi and told him about Gu Lin's proposal. Please explain it to Guo Bingwen.

When can you come? Please make a decision early.

This problem

Almost good

Jiangkou March 6

Uncle Yong Ru has arrived in Shanghai. Please tell him when Li will come and when his house in Beijing can be vacated.

Ding Wenjiang came to Beijing from Dalian and still lives in Li Siguang's home. See Shi Jiuyuan's letter "Yizhi" to Mr. Hu Shi;

We haven't seen each other for years. How are you getting along in Shanghai? I heard that you have been in poor health recently! Is it still the same problem? I also heard that your son is often unwell and feverish now. I think the child is ill. Let him relax a little in his lessons and rest, and his illness will be easy to recover. what do you think?

Jun came to Pingping from Hankou with many novels you gave me last month. I'm glad to meet them. Thank you. It just makes you feel bad about spending more money

This spring, I heard in Dalian that you were invited to give a speech there in summer. We hoped you could come, but we were disappointed in the end. In September of the solar calendar, I came to Peiping from Lian and lived in Zhong Gu's house. Now it's back to June, because I can't put my books down and I have to move every day. The house hasn't been found yet, which is very troublesome.

It has snowed twice here, and the weather is not very cold. What about the south? Mrs. Hu, I won't write again. Please give my regards.

I wish you happiness and health!

Nineteen yuan December nineteenth

Ding Wenjiang returned to Peiping from Dalian and still lives in Li Siguang apartment. Regarding Ding's future plans, Ding Wenjiang wrote to Hu Shi on April 27th.

I have come to Beijing, and my health is very beneficial. I have recovered from insomnia. I still want to live in Beiping for the convenience of work. However, if I cancel the researcher's request and the library fails to pass the meeting, won't both sides fail? I don't think the north will change at all at this time. At that time, it was also a question whether I could live safely in Beiping. Please ask around and make a plan for me. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the story that Mr. Cai was wanted did not come true. Can you ask Caiyi? I hate leaving Beiping because Japan is too expensive and Dalian is too tasteless. My wife got better after she arrived in Beijing. At the beginning of July, I plan to spend the summer in succession, and then go back to Beijing after Xia Hou. (Hu Shi's Manuscripts and Secret Collection Letters, Volume 23, page 102 ~ 103)

1933 on June 8th, Yang Xingfo (Kuen Yeung), director-general of Academia Sinica, vice-president and director-general of China Civil Rights Protection League, was assassinated by secret agents in Abbott Road, Shanghai French Concession at 8 o'clock in the morning.

In July, Li Siguang, Ding, Zhou Ren and Ding Wenjiang jointly wrote to urge Ding Wenjiang to be the president of Academia Sinica:

Mr. Cai Yuanpei decided to ask his brother to be the director general, and we also want to take this opportunity to talk about our meaning. We saw your two telegrams, but didn't see your letter, so we wrote this letter. Since the death of Mr. Xing Buddha, we have mixed feelings and mixed feelings. Some people think that the cause is the most important, and the research institute cannot be demolished by us; Some people think that if you can't manage a lot, it's better to disperse in a hubbub and go their separate ways. However, after three weeks of reflection and discussion, we reached an agreement on the most important point, that is, no matter how you prove the results later, we should always support the current research institute. Mr. Cai thought of my brother, which is why. It is also for this reason that we are praising. A few points can be said separately.

1. It goes without saying that working under Teacher Cai is a kind of happiness, pleasure and glory. It goes without saying that Mr. Cai, a senior, is also respectful and will get used to the rules. Mr. Cai will hand over the responsibility to the Director-General, not to mention my brother.

Second, the institute's external affairs take asking for money as the first priority. However, this matter has become a natural procedure. There will be mountains and rivers in the future, and it seems that it will not be as difficult as it was then. Other external affairs, also need not too much. As long as you can stand on your feet academically, it is always convenient. The government didn't know that the geological survey was ignored because it was in a corner. If you are in Beijing and Shanghai, you are an idol. Brother tries not to lose his identity, but it takes time and is generous to the outside world.

3. As far as the institute itself is concerned, there are many things to rely on, including real estate worth two or three million yuan, hundreds of thousands of gold, and annual expenditure of1200,000. You can do whatever you want. And more than half of the hospitals have made great achievements, many of which are irreplaceable elsewhere. "Beiping is the center of China culture", whether right or wrong, Beiping has an academic atmosphere, but it is everywhere. Today, the situation in North China is unpredictable, and what country will the southeast material resources become if they are not cultural centers, that is, without academic atmosphere? Central University can do nothing about this responsibility, especially Pidgin. If you want to have it, you must be inspired by the institute. If all parts of the hospital can establish higher standards for certain disciplines, universities have to follow suit; If it becomes an environment for discussion and speech, it will not be unhealthy. However, the future of the institute is related to the future of the country.

Fourth, my brother is going to be fifty, but his career has no home, and some academic work is not over. The way to finish is to do it alone, which is really convenient in the hospital. Geology and history are built in the Arctic. The Institute of Geology can be completed by the end of the year, and the Institute of History and Language can be completed in early spring. There are many houses in Shiyu College. My brother can open several studios in it, and the reference materials and auxiliary staff are easy to access. The post of Director-General was naturally very busy when he first took office; In a few months, I will be able to spare a lot of time and work by myself. What we say according to facts is by no means empty talk.

Five, the status quo of the institute has its own difficulties, and it is easy to survive without cheering up. If we can't keep it, all the national money and hard money we used to spend will be in vain. Looking around the academia, no one has the courage. If you don't go to see righteousness, you won't be the so-called "big brother Ding".

Say it wholeheartedly, my brother will say it. On the orders of Mr. Cai, my brother won't refuse!

Visiting some European and American research institutions, especially Gesellschaft of Kaiser William, will be beneficial and look forward to your attention.

Ding Ding Xie Lin Li Siguang Zhou Ren Tang Yue Fu Sinian

1July 933

(According to the "Fu Sinian Archives" collected by the Institute of History and Linguistics of Academia Sinica, the file number is 3: 2 10. Quoted from: Pan Guangzhe: Ding Wenjiang and Institute of Historical Linguistics, The Road to New Learning, 38 1 ~ 383).

1934, Li Siguang was invited to give a lecture in England. In this issue, Mr. Ding Wenjiang is invited to guide the work of the Institute of Geology.

1935, the Peking University geological museum, which was built on Songgongfu Road, Beiping Beach, was completed with the donation of two professors, Li Siguang and Ding Wenjiang, Department of Geology, Peking University.

General situation of geological museum architecture: The architectural style of the museum is L-shaped. It covers an area of 79 1 square foot. Except for the cellar, there are three floors south and two floors north. Except for the roof of the building and the surrounding materials, the rest are made of bricks, designed by engineer Liang Sicheng and contracted by Wei Hua and Haijing Factory in Beiping. Construction started in May of 2003 and was completed in July of 2004, including civil engineering cost, heating and sanitation engineering, electrical and steam engineering and engineer design cost of more than 60,000 yuan. Other equipment costs more than 5,500 yuan and * * * 66,000 yuan. The funds are allocated by the special fund for cooperation between the school and the China Foundation and the regular funds of the school, and the salary is donated by Professor Li Siguang and Professor Ding Wenjiang from the Department of Geology of the school. Since this semester, all the geology departments in our school have moved into classes. The basement is used as grinding room, storage room, boiler room, etc. The first floor is used as classroom, paleontology showroom, geography and history showroom, darkroom, reading room, student research room, education room and staff studio. On the second floor, there are classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, microphotograph rooms, mineral practice rooms, mineral and rock showrooms and teachers' rooms. On the third floor are classrooms, geological showrooms and teachers' rooms. (according to Peking university archives, fondsNo. (1), catalog number 323 2 135).

Just as Li Siguang was sorting out and editing the manuscript of Geology of China (193665438+1early October), he learned the bad news that Ding Wenjiang died in Changsha Xiangya Hospital on June 5438+1October 5, so he added in the preface of Geology of China, which had just finished the manuscript: "Just as my manuscript was sorted out, If I take this opportunity to express my admiration for this person who is so devoted to the development of geological science in China, there may be nothing wrong with it. " Then I commissioned an English friend to publish Geology of China, and prepared to go to North America to investigate geology.

Soon (May 28th of that year), Li Siguang attended the Academic Affairs Meeting of Academia Sinica. At the meeting, Li Siguang supported and agreed to the Scholarship Regulations of Ding Wenjiang and Yang Xingfo, the late President of Academia Sinica. What commemorates Ding Wenjiang is natural science, and what commemorates Yang Xingfo is humanities. Each scholarship is limited to two thousand yuan and one person. The regulations will be held in turn. After the text is sorted out, it will be published by the national government and will begin next year.

Subsequently, at the 13th Geological Council of China held by Beiping Branch of China Geological Survey, Li Siguang was elected as a member of the Trusteeship Committee of Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund. Members of the Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund Committee are recommended by the geological society of china General Assembly and approved by the Council. Li Siguang, Zhang, Xie, Huang, Weng, Yin Zanxun and Yang make up the Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund Committee. And adopted the draft management rules and trusteeship of the Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund. According to the management rules of Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund, "those who have made special contributions to China's geological research will be awarded a commemorative bonus of 6,000 yuan every two years (odd years in the Republic of China). If there is any surplus, it will be donated to the Peking University Institute of Geology for investigation and research, but the maximum amount is 1000 yuan per year. "

On February 20th, 1937, geological society of china Council was held in Beiping Branch of Geological Survey. At the meeting, Li Siguang was elected as the chairman and Yin Zanxun as the secretary of the Trusteeship Committee of the Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund, which was approved by the Council.

1937 12 13. When Japanese imperialism captured Nanjing, Li Siguang led the staff of the Institute of Geology to temporarily transport important books and instruments from Nanjing to Jiangxi and finally to Guangxi. During my stay in Changsha, Hunan Province, I attended the meeting of geological society of china Council held at No.4 Liufangli (after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the meeting place of geological society of china was moved from Nanjing to Changsha, Hunan Province). This meeting was held during the war, and only five directors attended the meeting: Li Siguang, Yang, Huang, Feng Jinglan and Zhang Xiyou. Chairman Yang presided over the meeting. Resolution: date and place of the 14 annual meeting; Put forward 15 candidates for the next Council; Garev A. C. Licharew (Soviet Union), Sani B. Saahni (India) and Herridge F. Heritsch (Austria) are correspondence members.

Just after the meeting, Li Siguang met with Zhu Sen who came to Changsha in a hurry. Go to Zuo Jialong in Yuelu Mountain to see Ding Wenjiang Cemetery (the second anniversary of Ding Wenjiang's death) and meditate on silence.

March 5 1942 The candidates for the second Ding Wenjiang Memorial Award were recommended by major geological institutions and organizations in China, and then awarded to Mr. Li Siguang with unanimous approval of the members of the Fund Committee. On March 20th, the geological society of china18th Annual Conference and 20th Annual Academic Conference was held in the Auditorium of Central University, and the awarding ceremony of the second Ding Wenjiang Memorial Award was also held. The award was awarded to Li Siguang in recognition of his contribution to the cultivation of geological talents and the development of geological scientific research in China. On behalf of Li Siguang, Zhang Geng accepted the award and delivered a thank-you speech. Chairman Weng Wenhao delivered a speech. He said: "Mr. Li was very interested in revolutionary work in his early years. Later, he felt that he wanted to be a strong country, but he went to England to study pure science. After returning to China, he became a professor in Peking University, where he lived a hard life and made unremitting efforts in teaching. At that time, Mr. Ding Wenjiang felt that the income of Mr. Li's school was actually not great, but he advised Mr. Li to be the deputy director of Beiping Library, and then he was allowed. A few days later, he resigned because of harmful research. Later, I felt that the environment in the north was not good, and even Nan Kyoto was the director of the geological research office for more than ten years. All the energy is devoted to the development of pure scientific research ... The improvement of the spirit of geological science research in China is extremely powerful. " After Yang, Chairman of the Memorial Fund Committee, delivered the award speech, he said, "Mr. Li (Li Siguang): I am honored to present the second prize to Mr. Ding on behalf of the Ding Wenjiang Memorial Fund Committee in geological society of china. My colleagues all admire Mr. Li's achievements in the field of geology, so I don't need to elaborate. Mr. Li's contribution to the geological field is obvious. The winner of Teacher Ding's first prize is Teacher Tian Qi, a student of Miss Li. The person who presented the second prize on behalf of our association today is also a student of Miss Li. Among the members present, Mr. Li's students accounted for a large part. However, the main motivation for this association to award Mr. Li is his research. Scholarship is focused on three things: erudition, refinement and appointment. Mr. Li does everything. ..... When it comes to whether you can bear hardships, geological work is hard work. When he was old, Mr. Li was not afraid of the difficulty of traveling. He worked in the mountains with young people. Few geologists in China are so old and are still engaged in practical geological work. ..... So this time, Mr. Ding Memorial Fund Committee unanimously decided to award Mr. Li the second prize. Today, Mr. Li Can can't accept the prize in person, and Mr. Zhang Geng will take his place. I hope Mr. Zhang will convey his admiration to Mr. Li on behalf of our colleagues. We hope that Mr. Li will continue to work hard for the geological cause and achieve more brilliant results. I also hope that he will wish Mr. Li good health on behalf of his colleagues. "
