1. Hard life of studying abroad:
Studying abroad is not easy. In order to maintain the rising tuition, Li Siguang went to work in the mine during the holidays. During his six years in Birmingham University, he not only achieved excellent academic results, but also mastered English, and obtained a bachelor's degree and a doctor's degree successively. After graduation, he politely refused a well-paid employment in a mine, accepted the invitation of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, returned to the motherland, and became a professor in the Geology Department of Peking University.
2. The discovery of Quaternary glaciers:
Since19th century, geologists from Germany, America, France, Sweden and other countries have been coming to China to explore minerals and investigate geology. However, none of them have found glaciers in China. Therefore, in the field of geology, "China has no Quaternary glaciers" has become a conclusion. However, in the process of studying arachnids, Li Siguang found some rocks that looked like glacier stripes at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. He continued to investigate in Datong basin and became more and more convinced of his own judgment. So he boldly put forward the view that there are Quaternary glaciers in China at the third general meeting of the general membership in geological society of china. An Tesheng, a Swedish geologist and consultant of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, laughed scornfully and denied it.
In order to make people accept this fact, he continued to look for more glacial remains. 10 years later, he not only concluded that there were a large number of glacial remains in Lushan Mountain, but also believed that the Quaternary glaciers in China were mainly valley glaciers, which could be divided into three glacial periods.
1936, Li Siguang visited Huangshan again and wrote a paper on Quaternary Glacier Phenomenon in Huangshan, Anhui. This article and several photos of glacier phenomenon have attracted the attention of some Chinese and foreign scholars. Felsmann, a German geology professor, praised him after returning to Huangshan Mountain: "This is an earth-shattering discovery." Li Siguang's efforts for more than ten years were publicly recognized by foreign scientists for the first time.
3. Cai Ying presided over the preparatory work for the Institute of Geology;
From 65438 to 0927, at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, Li Siguang left Beijing for the south to take charge of the preparation of the Institute of Geology. 1928 1 Institute of Geology was established with Li Siguang as its director. Geological research often requires eating and drinking, and the conditions are very difficult. Moreover, the newly established research institute lacks funds, equipment and even a fixed address. Li Siguang and his institute suffered a lot during the eight-year Anti-Japanese War. At that time, he smoked papyrus cigarettes and wore homespun clothes, and his life was very poor. However, he and his colleagues never gave up geological research. Due to the hardship of life and the fatigue of work, he suffered from angina pectoris and tuberculosis.
4. Earthquake prediction
1966 After the Xingtai earthquake, Li Siguang "taught us" to pay attention to Hejian and Cangzhou in Hebei; Pay attention to Bohai Sea; Pay attention to Yunnan Tonghai; Pay attention to Sichuan Luhuo; Pay attention to Yiliangguan, Yunnan; Pay attention to Songpan; Tangshan deserves attention ... Li Siguang was right along the way. At that time, many scientists thought that earthquakes were unpredictable. Li Siguang said categorically that earthquakes can be predicted.
Premier Zhou once said: "Li Siguang promotes public opinion and believes that earthquakes can be predicted." This paper uses a series of "notes". This special expression has played an important role and left a deep impression on me.

The story of famous people reading at home and abroad?
Wang Yanan sleeps in a three-legged bed.
CCTV International July 2, 2003117: 21
When Wang Yanan was a child, he was ambitious and loved reading.
When he was in middle school, in order to gain more time to study, he deliberately sawed off one foot of his wooden bed and turned it into a three-legged bed. I read until late at night every day. I went to bed when I was tired, and then I turned over in a daze. The bed leans in the direction of short feet. He woke up suddenly, got out of bed at once and read at night. Every day, without interruption. As a result, he achieved excellent results every year and was praised as one of the "three outstanding figures" in his class.
Because he studied hard as a teenager, he eventually became an outstanding economist in China.
How did Chairman Mao study?
Special hobby
For decades, Chairman Mao has been very busy, but he always finds time, even a minute, to study. His former residence in Zhongnanhai is a sea of books. Books are everywhere on the bookcase, desk, dining table and coffee table in the bedroom. All the beds are occupied by books except the place where one person lies.
In order to study, Chairman Mao spent all available time. A few minutes before swimming, I sometimes have to read some famous poems. After swimming, I forgot to rest, so I picked up the book again. He never wastes even a few minutes in the toilet. The book Selected Works of Zhaoming, the second edition of Song Xichun, and some other books and periodicals were completed intermittently by this time. Read a little today and a little tomorrow.
Chairman Mao often takes a box of books with him when he goes out for meetings or inspections. The train shook and bumped on the way, and he completely ignored it. He always keeps reading with a magnifying glass in one hand and a page in the other. In other places, like Beijing, there are books on the bed, desk, coffee table and dining table, which seem to be free.
Although Chairman Mao was seriously ill in his later years, he still insisted on studying. He reread a set of hardcover Complete Works of Lu Xun and many other books and periodicals published before liberation and brought to Beijing from Yan 'an.
On one occasion, Chairman Mao had a fever of over 39 degrees, and the doctor forbade him to read books. He said sadly, I have loved reading all my life, and now you don't let me study, and you make me lie here all day eating and sleeping. You know how hard it is for me! The staff had to put the books they had taken next to him, and he smiled happily.
Study hard and read again and again
Chairman Mao has never opposed the reading method that only seeks quick results. When he read the complete works of Han Changli's poems, except for a few chapters, he carefully pondered and studied them one by one, from vocabulary, sentence reading, chapters to the meaning of the full text. He can recite most of Han Ji's poems fluently through repeated reading and reciting. He read novels such as Journey to the West, Dream of Red Mansions, Outlaws of the Marsh and Romance of the Three Kingdoms in primary school and reread them in the 1960s. He has seen more than ten different versions of A Dream of Red Mansions. In the fifties, sixties and seventies, he read Selected Works of Zhaoming several times at school. There are three extant versions of his annotation.
He has read some books about Marxism-Leninism and philosophy many times. He has read Li Da's History of the United Front and Outline of Sociology for ten times each. He has studied Manifesto of the Productive Party, Das Kapital, Selected Works of Lenin and so on. Many chapters and paragraphs also have notes and sketches.
No pen and ink, no books.
For decades, every time Chairman Mao read a book or an article, he drew circles, bars, dots and other symbols in important places, and wrote a lot of comments in the eyebrows and blanks. Some also extract appropriate places in books and texts or write down reading notes or experiences at any time. Many of Chairman Mao's books are Zhu Mo, with symbols such as annotations, circles, sketches, straight lines, curves, double lines, three straight lines, double circles, three circles, triangles and forks everywhere.
Read everything
Chairman Mao's interest in reading is very extensive, and he reads books on philosophy, politics, economy, history, literature, military and other social sciences as well as some natural sciences.
Many of the books he has read are about history. Chairman Mao likes reading all kinds of Chinese and foreign historical books, especially those of China. From twenty-four histories, history as a mirror and historical records to various unofficial history, official history and historical romances. He has always advocated "making the past serve the present" and attached great importance to historical experience. In his works and speeches, he often quoted historical allusions from Chinese and foreign history books to vividly explain profound truth, and he often used historical experience and lessons to guide and treat today's revolutionary cause.
Chairman Mao also read many books about China literature. He is a real reader.
Lu Xun chewed pepper to drive away the cold.
Mr. Lu Xun studied hard since he was a child. When I was a teenager, I attended Jiangnan Naval Academy and got excellent results in the first semester. The school awarded him a gold medal. He immediately took it to the street of Nanjing Gulou and sold it. Then he bought some books and a bunch of red peppers. Whenever it's cold at night and he can't stand reading at night, he picks a pepper and chews it in his mouth, making his forehead sweat. In this way, he insisted on studying. After studying hard, he finally became a famous writer in China.
A child who picks up shells.
/kloc-Rousseau, a French enlightenment thinker in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, has always opposed excessive reading.
At that time, some people in society never stopped after learning one knowledge to catch up with another. They only spend time learning other people's ideas, but have no time to exercise their own. As a result, knowledge has been learned, but intelligence has rarely increased.
Rousseau didn't like it very much. In his book Emile, he said that such a person "is like a child picking up shells on the beach. At first, he picked up some shells, but when he saw other shells, he wanted to pick them up again. As a result, he threw some and picked up some, and even picked up many shells. When he didn't know which one to choose, he had to throw them all away and go back empty-handed. "
King or study?
Macaulay, a famous historian, once wrote to a little girl that if someone wanted me to be the greatest king, living in a palace all my life, with gardens, delicious food, fine wine, a carriage, gorgeous clothes and hundreds of servants, I would never be king.
I would rather be a poor man and live in an attic with many books than an illiterate king.
The growth stories of Chinese and foreign celebrities;
Sima Guang taught his son to be frugal. ※。
Sima Guang paid great attention to educating children not to be extravagant and wasteful, but to use them carefully. In Answering Liu Mengshu, he said that he "dare to act and stand after seeing the ground". In order to complete this great historical work, he not only hired Fan Zuyu, Liu Shu and Mclynn Killman Liu as assistants, but also let his son Sima Kang take part in the work.
Seeing his son scraping the pages with his nails, he was very angry and taught him the experience and methods of caring for books seriously: before reading, clean the desk and spread the tablecloth; Sit up straight when reading; When turning a page, you should first lift the edge of the page with the thumb side of your right hand, and then gently cover it with your index finger to turn a page.
He warned his son that businessmen should save more capital and scholars should take good care of books. In order to realize the ideal of writing books and learning from the classics to govern the country, he worked tirelessly at 15, often working with illness. His relatives and friends advised him to "save trouble", and he replied: "The king said that life is better than death." This life-and-death work lifestyle has deeply inspired my son and colleagues.
Madame Curie taught her son moral character. ※。
Cultivate their frugality, simplicity and wealth. Her love for her daughter is manifested as a restrained love and a rational love. She strictly controls her daughter's life and asks them to "save money to support their ambitions". She educated her daughter and said, "Being poor is inconvenient, and being too rich is not necessarily a good thing. We must make a living on our own. "
Cultivate their unrealistic and practical style. She warned her two daughters, "We shouldn't waste our lives".
Cultivate them to be brave, strong, optimistic and overcome difficulties. She often encourages children: "You must have perseverance, especially self-confidence."
Teach them that they must love their motherland. Madame Curie not only taught them Polish, but also infected Elena and Eve with her efforts to help the students of the motherland and Poland develop scientifically. What they can't forget is that their mother named the new element "polonium" after her native Poland, which showed her childlike feelings.
Lao She's adopted son is very ordinary. ※。
Mr. Lao She wrote in his article: "I have three children. Unless they are willing and willing to work hard, I will never encourage them to become writers, because I think they are equally meaningful as carpenters, masons or writers, and there is no distinction between high and low."
When talking about the hope for children, Mr. Lao She wrote in the letter, "I don't think they need to go to college." I hope my children can make a living by sweating. An honest coachman or worker must be better than a corrupt official, don't you think? "
Children should play more. Mr. Lao She especially cherishes the innocence of children, which is the most precious thing in the world and must not be stifled. He advocates that children play more, most afraid of seeing "little adults", "little old men" and "teenagers mature"
Mr. Lao She said: "Modern couples teach children aged three or four to read, and they perform when they come. They treat children as playthings, but forget that children's physical and mental education is very slow and cannot be encouraged. "
Treat children like good friends. Mr. Lao She advocates treating children with equality and respecting them as good friends. In this respect, he is pragmatic. He loves to write letters to children, often jokes with humorous words in his letters, and even quietly announces his writing plan to children. The writing outline of the third part of Four Generations under One roof was first disclosed in a letter to Bing Xin's eldest daughter, a middle school student. In front of him, children can speak freely, and he hopes that all parents in the world have such an attitude and mind.
Mr. Lao She likes watching children write big characters, which he thinks is a great pleasure. "Painting backwards, creating with faith, and painting with addition and subtraction are unprecedented, and there is no one who comes later, that is, thick eyebrows and black eyes, and ink spots are all over the body, which is also watertight." This is his description of the children and praises their creativity.

Studying in Tao Hongjing vegetable garden. In ancient times, people had many misunderstandings about nature. People believe that the snail's victory is an absurd legend. It turns the moth into their own son, and they also call their son "the moth". Tao Hongjing expressed doubts about this. He found a nest of grubs in the vegetable field near the village, and squatted in the vegetable field and observed it with rapt attention all day. Tao Hongjing found that they had a man and a woman. After many days of careful observation, Tao Hongjing finally exposed the secret of grubs: grubs have their own offspring, and grubs are taken to the nest to feed their larvae. There is no such thing as a grub seme! From then on, Tao Hongjing thought it best to observe everything personally, and never follow the trend.

300-word composition "The Story of a Celebrity"
I have read many famous stories, but one always impresses me.
That is an old story about Confucius. Confucius said that when he was 30 years old, he was already a famous teacher, but he was not complacent and still felt that he was not knowledgeable. So he rushed to Luoyang from his hometown Qufu to visit Laozi. I slept all the way, day and night, but I never gave up. Finally, I went to Luoyang to meet my long-cherished Laozi and quickly worshipped him as a teacher. Lao Tzu saw his sincerity and accepted him as a disciple, and Confucius always sought advice from Lao Tzu.
After reading this story, I deeply feel that Confucius is an excellent scholar and an official, which shows that his attitude towards learning is complacent and tireless. As for Laozi, he was also moved by Confucius' sincere heart and gave everything to others without reservation, which is also what future generations are happy to see.
Yes, we should be as modest and studious as Confucius. In order to learn more knowledge, we would rather suffer than regret. Only in this way can we achieve fruitful results in our study.

Engels' reading method
One of Engels' reading methods is to pay attention to reading the original text, and generally do not use second-hand and third-hand materials easily.
1On June 6th, 884, Georg Henrich Vollmar, a German social Democrat, wrote a letter to Engels, saying that a lady was interested in socialism and planned to study social sciences, but she didn't know which college to attend. Engels replied that this question is difficult to answer, because every science, especially economics, has been badly spoiled in universities. The key is to learn by yourself and master effective methods of self-study.
Engels said in his letter: "Learn from truly classic books, not from the most unpopular German economics summary reading or its author's speech." "The most important thing is to seriously study classical economics from the physiocratic school to schools such as Smith and Ricardo, as well as the works of utopian socialism Saint-Simon, Fourier and Owen, as well as Marx's works, and at the same time, we should constantly strive to draw our own opinions." In other words, we should read the original work systematically, because "studying the original work itself will not lead some brief reading materials and other second-hand materials astray."
Judging from the bibliography he has read, although he has read many popular brochures, newspapers and periodicals, etc. , is the classic original that spends the most time and reads the most. He believes that reading the original works systematically is the correct reading method for research. In this way, we can understand the process of the emergence, development and perfection of a theory, not only comprehensively and systematically grasp the basic principles, but also grasp its development process and understand the whole picture of this theory.
Jack London's "Hungry Wolf" Reading Method
Jack London, an American writer, has been tempered by hardships and cherished reading opportunities. When he came across a book, he didn't pry it open with a sleigh and steal some things inside. Instead, he put his teeth into the book's throat like a hungry wolf, sucking its blood, swallowing its meat and biting its bones violently! Until all the fibers and muscles in that book became a part of him.

Einstein was very playful when he was a child. His mother often worries about this and warns him what to do many times, but he always goes in one ear and out the other. In this way, until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was fishing by the river and told him a story that changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:
"Yesterday," Einstein's father said, "Uncle Jack and I, our neighbors, cleaned a big chimney in the southern factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still in front and I was still behind him. Later, when I came out of the chimney, I found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, but I didn't even have any soot on me. " Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack and thought I must be dirty like a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash and wash." And your uncle Jack, seeing me clean when I came out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he washed his hands and went straight to the street. As a result, everyone in the street laughed and hurt their stomachs. They think your uncle Jack is crazy. "
Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. When his father finished laughing, he solemnly said to him, "In fact, no one else can be your mirror. Only you are your own mirror. Taking others as a mirror, an idiot may also turn himself into a genius. "
Hearing this, Einstein suddenly looked ashamed.
Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.
