Tong (1935- 1997), male, Han nationality, from Ningxiang, Hunan. Archaeologist, science fiction writer. Member of Chinese Writers Association, majoring in archaeology. He was a professor at Emei Film Studio of Sichuan University and University of Pittsburgh. Standing Committee of Sichuan CPPCC, Chairman of China Science and Literature Committee. /kloc-published his first work in 0/957, and began to create science fiction and popular science in 0/960. His work "Dead Light on Coral Island" was appraised as the representative work of China's science fiction emphasizing literary genre. It won many awards, and was made into a film in the early1980s, becoming the first science fiction film in China. Tong Yu 1935 was born in Ningxiang, Hunan Province on August 27th. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, his father taught at Hunan University, while Tong entered Chengzhi Primary School.

1947, Tong was admitted to Changsha Yali Middle School. Naughty, he used to pretend to be scary, climbed onto the shoulders of his friends, covered with white sheets, and appeared on campus at night, scaring his classmates to the core. From 65438 to 0956, Tong's father was transferred to Chengdu Institute of Telecommunication Engineering, and his family moved to Chengdu. Tong was admitted to the history department of Sichuan University.

From 65438 to 0957, while studying in the history department of Sichuan University, Tong began to publish literary works and popular science works. 65438-0957 published his first novel My First Teacher in the 7th issue of the Red Scarf. 1959 wrote his first science fiction novel: guests 50,000 years ago, which was published in the third issue of Youth Literature and Art of 1960. /kloc-0 In the summer of 959, Tong followed Professor Feng, a famous archaeologist of Sichuan University, to inspect the Neolithic site in Xunjinggou, Zhongxian County, Sichuan Province.

1960 published the work of young college students "Fog in Ancient Gorge". As soon as this work was published, it was welcomed by young readers. The publication of Fog Out of the Ancient Gorge almost changed Tong's fate and made him embark on the road of professional literary workers.

196 1 year, graduated from Tongtong University. After graduation, I worked as a screenwriter in E Film Factory. After he went to work in E Film Factory, he began to adapt the script of Fog in the Ancient Gorge. Before the adaptation was completed, Sichuan University sent him back to school as a research assistant of Professor Feng. From then on, he began to roam freely in the fields of archaeology and literature, and lived the life of an "amphibious man" in two fields of work. From 65438 to 0967, Tong was not able to continue writing until the Gang of Four was crushed. People in the literary and art circles who completely broke off relations with him quickly extended a hand of friendship to him. Shanghai Children's Publishing House, China Children's Publishing House, People's Literature Publishing House ... Some want to reprint his past works, while others want him to write some new works. 1963 Ji Shen, who worked with him to adapt the film literary script Fog of the Ancient Gorge, just resumed his work at the Shanghai Film Studio and immediately wrote to encourage him to continue his film literary creation. 1May, 978, went to Shanghai to attend the national symposium on popular science creation, and met with popular science writers he admired, such as Zheng, Ye Yonglie, Xiao Jianheng, Liu Houyi, Zhou Guoxing, etc. When they met again after the robbery, he and the writers were very excited to see that * * * had contributed to the prosperity of China's scientific and literary creation. Tong picked up the pen again and devoted himself to creation with a stronger sense of responsibility than before. After finishing his teaching and scientific research, he rewrote Fog in the Ancient Gorge and Dead Light on Coral Island, which were adapted into screenplays with the help of Ji Shen. He also wrote science fiction novels, such as The Magic Flute in Snow Mountain, The Man Who Tracked the Dinosaur, The Return of the Astronaut and Hui Hui's Little Companion.

1963, Tong's sci-fi novel "The Dead Light on the Island of a Mountain Lake" was published in 1978, which caused a sensation in the whole country and won the first National Excellent Short Story Award, and immediately filmed the first sci-fi movie in China, which was applauded by orthodox literature and even the whole society, and warmly embraced with open arms. It is this work that has been appraised by senior sci-fi critics as the representative work of China's sci-fi emphasizing literary genre. Later, the novel was also adapted into a comic book and a radio play, which had a wide influence in society. Although, Tong Zhengen doesn't think highly of his novels. He believes that the main reason why this work is welcomed by the society is that the literary and art circles are blank after ten years of catastrophe. His interesting works just meet the people's needs to fill the spiritual gap, just like a person eating a bowl of tea when he is extremely hungry and making rice fragrant. But he was greatly encouraged and determined to create high-level works to repay those who loved him. The whole story of children's visit to the United States from 65438 to 0980. In the past, archaeologists often relied on experience and memory to piece together broken tortoise shells. Suppose we use some laws pieced together by Oracle Bone Inscriptions to make a program, make it into software, and input it into a computer, and the conjugation speed will be much faster. So Tong invited two friends who are engaged in computers, compiled a tortoise shell assembling program and entered it into the computer. The preliminary results are successful: the success rate of computer assembling tortoise shells is about 40%, which exceeds that of American professors. After the paper was published, it attracted the attention of professors across the ocean. So he invited Tong to visit the United States as soon as possible and learn from each other. It is the attention to physiology that leads to children's new discoveries. In his famous archaeological paper "On Early Steel Drum", Tong not only demonstrated that the early bronze drum originated from an agricultural nation of Puliao in the eastern Yunnan Plateau, but also denied the theory that the bronze drum originated from Vietnam, and made a scientific explanation of the mysterious function of the bronze drum. Because the rhythmic sound of the bronze drum has a mysterious stimulating effect, people in the areas where the bronze drum is popular have a worship psychology, and the bronze drum has become a symbol of authority, which is used in sacrifices and wars to shock and call on the masses. This is not superstition, because anthropologists have found that rhythmic drums with a certain frequency can cause abnormal emotions and behaviors of people attending festivals, such as narcissism, hallucinations, abnormal body distortion and even convulsions. Anthropologists have not yet answered why this drum sound causes abnormal feelings and movements. Tong noticed the research results of physiologists and answered this question. Facts have proved that physical reality has proved that rhythmic sound can stimulate the sensory center and motor center of the cerebral cortex. The average frequency of people's basic brain waves is eight to thirteen cycles per second, so when the drum frequency is 7 to 9 beats per second, people will obviously show abnormal movements. So the mysterious stimulation of drums is because the frequency of drums is consistent with the average frequency of human brain waves.

He dabbled in other scientific knowledge, observed and wrote in the society for a long time, and helped an archaeologist achieve something in his career. This is not an example or two in children's academic activities. Similarly, an archaeologist's rich practical activities help a popular science writer, which is not uncommon in children's amphibious life. For more than 20 years, Tong, like Xu Xiake whom he admired since childhood, has traveled all over the country. North and south of the great river, north and south of the great river, all left his footprints of seeking seclusion and visiting the ancient times. He crossed the most majestic Hengduan Mountains in southwest China twice, passing through the Dadu River, Yalong River, Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, and reached the Yarlung Zangbo River. Snow peaks and deep valleys are full of the charm of nature. The magnificence of the motherland's mountains and rivers and the glory of history make him deeply proud that he is a descendant of the Chinese nation. In the archaeological investigation and excavation, he had the opportunity to naturally contact with the masses, not to "experience" life, but to "participate" life. He has squatted by the fireplace countless times, drinking highland barley wine with his Tibetan compatriots, drinking our wine with his Qiang compatriots, and drinking corn wine with his Yi compatriots, and listening to them sing the myth of epoch-making, ancient legends, appalling sufferings in the old society, new oppression and hardships of life in the era of the Gang of Four. At this time, children felt their inner joys and sorrows, and realized their simple and sincere feelings. All these constitute an inexhaustible source of his creation. 199 1 year, Tong went to the United States to give lectures and then moved to the United States. During his stay in the United States, he served as a professor in many universities and became one of the famous professors in the United States. During this period, Tong returned to China many times to care about the scientific research and popular science creation of the motherland. Every time he returns to China, he will get together with Sichuan popular science writers, talking and laughing, which will make the participants never forget. He returned to China for the last time when he was alive, and spent two days with his brother En Wen and the author, and had a good talk. He said that he was trying to create detective science fiction, and he bought all kinds of weapons to experience the gunfight himself. Who knows, this has become forever. In April this year, Tong was hospitalized in the United States because of liver disease, and died suddenly because of the failure of liver replacement surgery.
