Gao Jiabao said that his father had a great influence on him. "My father told me that I am a poor man, but I am poor and dare not compliment. We have been scholars for generations. We must learn to eat according to our own talents, and we must never kiss up to others for official positions. " Perhaps it is his father's traditional thought that "poverty is the only way to protect himself, and wealth is the way to help the world", "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent" and the literati's spirit of paying attention to ethics that gave him the main enlightenment in personality development. Gao Jiabao pursued progress all his life, studied patriotism deeply, advocated education and paid attention to practice, and made great contributions to the cultivation of textile talents. Gao Jiabao devoted his life to textile education. 1947 After the summer vacation, under the initiative and planning of Tianjin alumni, the former Textile Department of Peking University Institute of Technology opened the Textile Department. At that time, there was only one class in sophomore year, and the professional teachers were only Professor Wu Wenlang and Assistant Professor An Ruifeng. At the beginning of 1948, Professor Wu Wenlang resigned, and Mr. Gao Jiabao came to the Textile Department of Beiyang University as an associate professor and acting director. In addition to teaching, he actively carried out the construction of textile department, made teaching plans, arranged courses and hired teachers. At that time, Beiyang Textile Department offered courses such as fabric structure, textile raw materials and weaving. In addition, the Textile Department has just been established for half a year, and everything is under construction. There is no experimental equipment and little money. Gao Jiabao contacted many parties to find a way to solve the books and experimental equipment needed for running a school. He worked hard with Tianjin alumni who graduated from the Textile Department of Peiping University to transfer the foreign periodicals collected by the Textile Department of the Institute of Technology of Peiping University to Beiyang University. Later, I learned that during the occupation by the Japanese invaders, the whole set of woolen dyeing machinery and equipment of the former textile engineering department of Beiping University was transported to Tianjin by the Japanese army to set up a woolen mill. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this woolen mill was owned by Tianjin Enterprise Company. He actively contacted and stated the importance of establishing textile education, cultivating textile talents and revitalizing national industries. At his appeal, Tianjin Enterprise Company agreed to transfer the woolen mill to the Textile Department of Beiyang University for free as an experimental base for students' internship. However, the school was afraid of mismanagement and economic losses, and proposed that it only needed plant machinery and equipment, and did not need workers. Finally, it failed to accept it. However, Gao Jiabao was not discouraged. He used his many years of relationship with various textile mills to allocate some looms, jacquard machines, experimental instruments and so on for the school's textile department free of charge by finding classmates and acquaintances. At the same time, he also asked the factory for some machine parts and semi-finished products of various processes, which initially solved the experimental problems, made the embryonic form of the textile department of Beiyang University, and played a great role in improving students' practical ability.
1In August, 949, Gao Jiabao was appointed as the professor of the Textile Department of Beiyang University, and Mr. Zhang Duoshan was appointed as the director of the Textile Department. After the founding of New China, Gao Jiabao organized relevant teachers to study the Soviet textile teaching plan and teaching materials, and combined with the actual situation in China to compile experimental teaching materials for textile materials, which promoted the standardized development of textile higher education in China. Gao Jiabao has served as the director of the teaching and research section of textile materials for a long time, attaching importance to the construction of professional basic courses and the construction of teaching staff. From 65438 to 0956, the Textile Laboratory of the Textile Department of Tianjin University became one of the key laboratories of Tianjin University, undertaking experimental teaching for international students from Indonesia, Nepal, Albania, Bulgaria, Vietnam, North Korea, the Soviet Union and other countries. At that time, the equipment level of the laboratory was in a leading position in the country. At that time, leaders from Zhu De, Chen Yi and other countries visited the laboratory. Teacher Gao Jiabao's teaching is rigorous and has obvious characteristics. First of all, he attaches importance to practice. He always takes students to do experiments himself, and his requirements are very strict. Second, he tirelessly teaches others. He always gives advice and answers to students in person.
Textile Materials Science is a practical course, and the experimental course occupies a large proportion in the class schedule. Gao Jiabao worked in the front line of textile education and production when he was young. He has rich practical experience and knows the importance of cultivating students' practical ability. In teaching, he attached great importance to experimental teaching and thought of many ways to improve the teaching quality of experimental courses. Mr. An Ruifeng recalled: "Mr. Gao Jiabao had an experimental preview class before each experimental class. If there are three hours of experimental classes tomorrow, he will organize students to do preview experiments in the laboratory one night in advance. Although there were experimenters at that time, as a professor, he always came to guide students to learn to write experimental reports, understand experimental items, experimental contents, experimental principles and how to operate them, and answer students' questions and questions at the same time. Wait until the next experiment class.
Gao Jiabao's counseling and answering questions is very famous in the school. Often a classmate asks, other students around are listening, and even students of other grades are standing around. His answers to questions are popular, incisive, easy to remember and easy to understand. With his rich experience as a technician and engineer in the factory for many years, his students can learn knowledge that books can't. In his decades of teaching work, Gao Jiabao has always insisted on answering students' extracurricular counseling questions, and always insisted on persuasion and patient guidance. Every night, I always wait for the students in the answering room of the teaching building early, often waiting until late at night, and finally the students have no time to leave.
Gao Jiabao attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' learning ability. He regularly reads students' lecture notes and encourages them to be complete and accurate and correct their mistakes in time. Similarly, he attaches great importance to the cultivation of young teachers' practical teaching. He should personally read and correct the speeches of young teachers, and he should personally listen to and teach the courses of young teachers. That's what Mr. Wang said and did. At that time, the textile laboratory did a very good job of integrating theory with practice. In 1950s, New China was a golden age of spring breeze. Gao Jiabao, a patriotic intellectual, has a sense of mission to work hard for the motherland construction of the new country, and he can't wait to use it for two days. At that time, the uniforms of the People's Liberation Army were all pure cotton, and the soldiers were quickly worn out in the wind and rain. In that era of insufficient materials, it is very important to improve the wear resistance and durability of military uniforms. Gao Jiabao and other teachers, together with Tianjin Textile Industry Research Institute and the Military Uniforms Research Institute of the General Logistics Department, jointly studied the "Research on the Fastness of Textile Machinery" project, aiming at improving the durability of cotton military fabrics. It takes very hard systematic work to complete this project. Starting from textile design, it is necessary to design yarns with different counts and twists to weave fabrics with different densities and structures, so it is necessary to arrange and combine them scientifically. According to the design, after spinning and weaving, it is necessary to carry out experimental analysis on the properties of various yarns and the fastness of different fabrics in order to explore reasonable product design and processing technology and obtain tough and strong military cloth. This is a very complicated and rigorous work, which requires a serious and responsible scientific attitude and meticulous work spirit. In order to finish this task after heavy teaching, Gao Jiabao and the members of the research group worked overtime day and night. He never claimed to be a professor. Whether the north wind is howling in winter, the cold is pressing, or the sun is scorching in summer, he insists on working in the laboratory, where he stays for a whole day. For example, the tensile strength experiment of fabric must be done standing, and the wear resistance experiment can't leave people for a moment. Heavy work will make the young man suffer from backache for a long time, but he keeps on. Young colleagues couldn't stand it anymore, so they said, all we have to do is record the experimental data. You don't need to come every day, but Gao Jiabao said with a smile: "I have worked in the factory for many years, and I can see the problem from the experiment process. Besides, I like being with you. " It is easy to catch up with work, and he also tells us stories of the past, which are vivid and harmonious. At that time, comrades who worked together in the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army all thought Mr. Gao was respectable and lovely. They said, "Mr. Gao can bear hardships more than us boys." Later, these PLA comrades became friends with him. They should visit Gao Jiabao as long as they have the opportunity to come to Tianjin. From 1959- 1962, Gao Jiabao and the staff of the research group worked hard for four seasons and finally completed the task as scheduled, which was praised by the army.
Gao Jiabao has always advocated the combination of scientific research and national production practice, which he said and did. He led the comrades in the Textile Teaching and Research Section to investigate and study at the grass-roots level many times, and solved some specific problems for many factories. At the same time, he brought the situation found in production into the classroom, raised it to the theoretical level through analysis, and compiled many handouts in combination with reality, which achieved good teaching results. From black hair to white hair, Gao Jiabao has devoted countless efforts and wisdom to the textile education he loves. During the "Cultural Revolution", Gao Jiabao was hit, but his infatuation did not change. After the Cultural Revolution, at the age of 70, he actively devoted himself to training high-level talents and became the first tutor to recruit graduate students in our school. In everyone's eyes, this fiery and elegant scholar is still elegant. You can hardly see any traces left by the "Cultural Revolution" years except a few strands of white hair that have been added to his temples by years.
Huang Shuzhen recalled: "Mr. Wang's greatest characteristic is broad-minded and forgiving the past. After smashing the Gang of Four, he devoted himself to the cultivation of textile graduate students with a high sense of responsibility for the country and the textile industry. " Yang Hong recalled: "Mr. Gao Jiabao was very responsible for the graduate students he took. Around 82 years ago, Cui, a graduate student he directed, was engaged in the heat treatment of knitwear and often went to the universal strength machine I was in charge of to do experiments. Mr. Gao often follows him. I remember that he has a wide range of knowledge, is very familiar with the new development of textile technology at home and abroad, and constantly shows T.R.J and J.T.I (British Textile Society and American Textile Magazine) to graduate students. At that time, the research and production of polyester stretch yarn was in the ascendant. Teacher Gao talked about the polyester low-elastic yarn and high-elastic yarn that just appeared at that time. He often explains it after 12 in the morning, and sometimes he can't finish explaining it after one o'clock in the afternoon, and often misses the time to eat. " Gao Jiabao believes that a graduate student should not only have extensive knowledge and professional technical skills, but also have a realistic attitude and rigorous work style, and give strict and meticulous guidance to graduate students. Sweat watered the flowers in the garden. Now, the graduate students led by Gao Jiabao have achieved something.
Gao Jiabao is a patriotic outstanding intellectual. He devoted his life to textile education and training textile talents. His simple and indifferent mind, honest and kind personality, serious work attitude and hard and simple life style left valuable spiritual wealth for the school.
