China's highest titles for students are Academician, China Academy of Sciences or China Academy of Engineering. But you should know that there is such a person who really doesn't care about the title of academician. Because several of his students, even his students, are academicians and even voters in the selection of academicians. He is too lazy to let the students choose for themselves. From the beginning, he had already qualified as an academician. But he always said, "I don't have a few years to live. What can I choose?" So he never submitted a selection application. All those who know him say that there is no doubt about his membership.
Who is he? He is Professor Chen Dinghua, the founder of welding specialty in Harbin Institute of Technology.
Professor Chen Dinghua, 1924, a native of wuchang city, Hubei Province, was born in Jingmen, Hubei Province. 1946 graduated from department of mechanical engineering, the former Central University. 1953 graduated from the research class of Harbin Institute of Technology. He used to be the deputy director and director of the welding teaching and research department of Harbin Institute of Technology, and the first batch of doctoral supervisors in China. He used to be the deputy director of the preparatory office of Harbin Welding Research Institute, the deputy director of technology and the visiting professor of Osaka University in Japan. He has served as a member of CPPCC for many years, executive director of China Aviation Society, general manager of China Welding Society and chairman of Heilongjiang Welding Society. He has won the National Science Conference Award and the first prize of the Ministry of Electronic Industry. Honorary certificates of the Ministry of Space and the State Education Commission, certificates of experts with outstanding contributions from the Ministry of Space and certificates of special government allowances. He is one of the main founders of the first welding teaching and research section and welding research institute in China. Is the first person to introduce welding technology into China.
1953 under the guidance of professor pro Hohloff, a Soviet expert at that time, the influence of forced segregation on welding hot cracks was studied. Because of the innovative research results, the tutor gave a high evaluation. 1958 completed the defense when visiting the Soviet Union with the delegation of the Ministry of Machinery, and obtained the associate doctor's degree of the former Soviet Union. He is the first scholar in China who completed his thesis in China and obtained a doctorate in defense of the former Soviet Union. ………
Many of Chen Lao's disciples are now the heads of welding majors in well-known universities in China. As long as you carefully check the resumes of welding tough guys in Tsinghua, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other schools, you can know how many are from Harbin Institute of Technology!
About Chen Lao's students, there are Professor Yang, the last president of Harbin Institute of Technology, and Professor Wu Lin, the former party secretary of Harbin Institute of Technology. It should be noted that these two academic leaders in the field of welding in China are not academicians at present due to reasons well known to Harbin Institute of Technology. But this does not mean that there are any academic problems. This is known to all adults in Harbin Institute of Technology. Professor Wu Lin is currently the Secretary-General of China Welding Society, the Deputy Secretary-General of International Welding Society, and the Director of the State Key Laboratory of Modern Welding Production Technology of Harbin Institute of Technology ... Now Professor Chen Shanben, head of the welding department of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Wu, head of the welding department of Shandong University, are both students of Professor Wu Lin. In addition, Chen Lao also trained talents directly or indirectly, including academicians Lin, Xu and Guan Qiao of Harbin Welding Research Institute (headquarters of China Welding Society).
It is necessary to elaborate the "State Key Laboratory of Modern Welding Production Technology" of Harbin Institute of Technology. State key laboratory is a special title, which not only means advanced technology, but also means that the state gives a lot of money every year. Please remember, don't confuse "State Key Laboratory" with "State Key Laboratory"! Don't confuse him with the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, the Key Laboratory of the Science, Technology and Industry Committee for National Defense and the National Key Engineering Center.
At present, there are 9 state key laboratories in Tsinghua and 5 branches in Tsinghua, so it can be recorded as 14. Shanghai Jiaotong University has four "State Key Laboratories"; Huazhong University of Science and Technology has three national key laboratories (not counting the "Wuhan Optoelectronic National Laboratory" under construction and its two national professional laboratories); There are only four Harbin Institute of Technology.
The State Key Laboratory of Modern Welding Production Technology of Harbin Institute of Technology is the only State Key Laboratory in the field of welding in China. The welding department of Harbin Institute of Technology is also the only welding department in China since the reform of the new undergraduate professional catalogue.
There is only one thing to ask why, because Harbin was liberated (1945) years earlier, and Harbin is very close to the Soviet Union. Even the teaching buildings still in use at Harbin Institute of Technology were built by the Soviets. You can think about how the welding department of Harbin Institute of Technology came about. ! Frankly speaking, China's Shenzhou series spacecraft drew lessons from the experience of the Soviet Union. When Shenzhou I was designed, there was an old Soviet spaceship beside it.
Now many universities are preparing to celebrate their centenary. We all know that before liberation, few people in China University were engaged in natural science. Almost all of them are engaged in social sciences. Only Cai Yuan, Wen Yiduo, Li Dazhao and even Lu Xun accompanied Peking University (in fact, he was mainly in Beijing Women's Normal University, hehe! ) I am doing social science. There is hardly any natural science. China's natural science started completely after liberation. Therefore, Harbin was liberated early, and it was right in time and place!
A few years ago, the welding department of Tsinghua and the welding department of Harbin Institute of Technology tied for the first place in China (issued by the Ministry of Education), so I was puzzled. What strength does she have to rank first with the welding department of Harbin Institute of Technology? She may not even be as good as Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
