Mi Ailin (1896— 1953) is a famous popular science writer, engineer and children's literature writer in the Soviet Union. Famous popular science works include 100,000 whys, What time is it now, black and white, the sun on the table, a trip in the atomic world, things around us and so on. "100,000 Why" is a comprehensive and vital name, which is taken from Ilya's works.
1907 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Joseph Rudyard Kipling's poem: "Where is 5,000? How about 7,000? Why 100,000?" This book was published in 1929, and was quickly translated and introduced to China in a short time, with many publishing units, which had a great influence on China's popular science creation. China's older generation of popular science writers and many popular science writers who grew up in 1950s benefited from Millin's works.
