Pengkunchi
Academician of China Academy of Sciences, former president of Shanxi University and former director of Institute of Optoelectronic Research, is the first batch of academicians trained in our province.
Born on August 25th, 1936, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, originally from Guangyuan, Sichuan. 1957, graduated from Chengdu No.2 Middle School and was admitted to the Physics Department of Sichuan University. Calm and rational, he always remembers his ideals and beliefs. As long as he has time, he will bury himself in reading and draw energy from the ocean of knowledge. Four years in college interested him in the physical world.
196 1 After graduating from college, Peng Kunchi responded to the call of the party and the state to "go where the motherland needs it most" and came to work in Shanxi University. Since then, 60 years have been deeply imprinted on the land of Sanjin.
A generation has the struggle of a generation, and an era has the responsibility of an era. Peng Kunchi, a 25-year-old graduate, chose to come to Shanxi University, a land he had never set foot in. Too late to appreciate the thick scenery of the Loess Plateau and adapt to the climate completely different from the south, he swaggered onto the podium and plunged into the factory.
He and his classmate Xie Changde, a lifelong lover, taught and tutored theoretical mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, optics and other courses, which were lively and popular with students. He was proficient in the processing technology of the workshop and made a solid technical reserve for the later development of solid-state lasers. After work, he didn't give up his major because he was diligent and eager to learn. He often immersed himself in exploring the physical world and used his precious time to accumulate strength for future scientific research.
I'm too old to forget my worries about my country. In his work and life, Peng Kunchi's patriotic spirit of caring for the motherland and serving the people, his innovative spirit of courageously climbing career heights and being the first, his realistic spirit of pursuing truth and rigorous scholarship, his dedication of being indifferent to fame and fortune and concentrating on research, and his educational spirit of being willing to be a ladder for others and repay others' learning fully reflect the great personality strength of a scientist who cares about the motherland and benefits the society.
It is with this strength that Peng Kunchi established a national important scientific research base in the field of quantum science and technology in Shanxi University, a local university located in an underdeveloped area in the central and western parts of the country, and cultivated an excellent national scientific research and innovation team.
