When he joined the Party at the age of 72, Lao Guo wrote poems in praise.
1June, 962, Zhu Kezhen joined the party at the age of 72. Guo Moruo enthusiastically presented a poem:
Charcoal fire comes from snow,
Charcoal is red and as turbid as molten steel.
When you are old and strong,
A model of independence and self-improvement
Dongfeng gallops across the world,
The red flag is brilliant on three sides.
Later, since ancient times,
Can we be strong without trying?
In the history of meteorological cause in China in the 20th century, such a name-Zhu Kezhen was engraved. This doctor of meteorology who studied in the United States in his early years, with his strong patriotism and sense of responsibility, laid a solid foundation for China's own magnificent building of meteorological research and application. His rigorous style of study, tenacious perseverance and infinite love for the party and the people have become a model for the majority of scientific research workers.
all one's life
1928, he presided over the establishment of the first meteorological observatory managed by China people in Nanjing, which broke the monopoly of foreigners on China's meteorological cause.
When he was the president of Zhejiang University, he supported the patriotic and democratic movement of students. Kuomintang spies called Zhejiang University "the concession of the * * * production party".
He decided not to go to Taiwan Province province, but to stay in Shanghai and wait for liberation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the vice president of China Academy of Sciences, and joined the China * * * Production Party at the age of 72.
Zhu Kezhen, born in 1890, belongs to a grain merchant family in Dongguan Town, Shaoxing, Zhejiang. When he was young, he was smart and eager to learn. He began to study at the age of 2, and entered Shanghai Education School at the age of 15. He is thin and thin, and was ridiculed by his classmate Hu Shi that he would not live beyond 20 years old. After hearing this, Zhu Kezhen made up his mind to exercise rain or shine. Later, his body has been very healthy.
19 10, after Zhu Kezhen obtained the qualification of studying in the United States with excellent results, he thought that everything in China was based on agriculture and entered the Agricultural College of Illinois University. 19 13 After graduation, he went to the Geology Department of Harvard University to study meteorology, which he loved since he was a child. In the meantime, his father and eldest brother died one after another. Zhu Kezhen overcame financial difficulties and persisted in his studies until 19 18 returned to China after receiving his doctorate. He has taught meteorology and geography in Wuchang Normal School and Southeast University successively, and trained the first generation of geographers and meteorologists for China. General Theory of Geosciences is China's first modern geography book. 1920, he married the first woman in China, Zhang Xia Soul. 1928 was appointed as the director of the Central Meteorological Institute, and the first meteorological station managed by China people was established in Nanjing that year, which broke the monopoly of foreigners on the meteorological cause in China.
65438-0936, Zhu Kezhen became the president of Zhejiang University. During his tenure at 13 years, he devoted all his efforts to the construction of Zhejiang University and put forward the word "seeking truth" as the school motto. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Zhejiang University moved to a mountainous area to avoid falling into the hands of the Japanese invaders. Zhu Kezhen went out to choose a school site, and his wife Zhang Huihui and Zhu Heng died successively. Teachers and students of Zhejiang University were moved by the news. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhu Kezhen supported the patriotic movement of Zhejiang University teachers and students against dictatorship and for democracy, so the ideas of internal medicine, democracy and progress were always prevalent in the school, so that Kuomintang spies called Zhejiang University "the concession of the * * * production party". 1949 In April, when the People's Liberation Army was crossing the river, Zhu Kezhen refused the request of the Kuomintang to go to Taiwan Province Province and went to Shanghai to wait for liberation.
1In July, 949, Zhu Kezhen was invited to attend the preparatory meeting of the National Congress of Scientific Workers, and served as the vice president of China Academy of Sciences (Guo Moruo was the president). He first set out to organize and set up the Institute of Geography of China Academy of Sciences, and presided over the division of natural divisions in China and the formulation of the national land pattern. He also organized many large-scale comprehensive inspection activities covering all parts of the country. 1June, 962, joined the China * * * production party at the age of 72.
After 1950 settled in Beijing, Zhu Kezhen began to study phenology, and published the book Phenology in 1963, which made an important contribution to China's agricultural development. In his later years, he published "Preliminary Study on Climate Change in China in the Last Five Thousand Years", which is a collection of his life's research achievements and has caused a sensation in the world. 1974 On February 7th, Zhu Kezhen died in Beijing at the age of 83.
story
Mao Zedong was very happy after reading Zhu Kezhen's article and invited him to Zhongnanhai for an interview. He said humorously, "If we work together, we will manage the world!" "
Zhu Kezhen has established the ambition of "saving the country by science" since he was a teenager. After returning from studying abroad, he saw that China did not have its own weather station, and the weather forecast and data were actually controlled by various forces, so he wrote: "It is one thing for a government to make weather maps, and it is also shameful to work for foreign churches." In the ten years before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he tirelessly established more than 40 weather stations and 100 rainfall observation stations all over the country, and initially established his own meteorological observation network in China.
During this period, the domestic new warlords were fighting endlessly, and the Nanjing government and the provincial government didn't have much thoughts on construction, while Zhu Kezhen was running in the war. The difficulty of establishing a weather station is beyond people's imagination in peacetime. In this process, he waged an indomitable struggle against the imperialist control plan. Zhu Kezhen insisted that all meteorological telegrams in China should be broadcast centrally by the Central Meteorological Observatory, and changed the original English records stipulated by the British colonists into international common standards. 1937, Zhu Kezhen went to Hongkong to attend the Far East Meteorological Conference. When the Governor arranged the dinner, he even put the representative of China at the bottom. Zhu Keji thought that this was a deliberate damage to China's national dignity and could not be tolerated, so he left angrily with two other representatives from China in protest.
After the national liberation, Zhu Kezhen attached great importance to agricultural production in China, and made use of meteorological knowledge to do everything possible to increase grain production. From 65438 to 0964, he wrote an important paper "On the Characteristics of Climate in China and Its Relationship with Grain Production", in which he analyzed the effects of light, temperature and rain on grain and put forward many ideas for developing agricultural production. Mao Zedong was very happy to see this article. He specially invited Zhu Kezhen to interview Zhongnanhai and said to him, "Your article is well written! We have an agricultural physique (soil, fertilizer, water, planting, density, security, industry, management) and only care about land. Your article takes care of the sky and makes up for the lack of eight-character physique. " Zhu Kezhen replied: "There are unexpected events in the sky, which is not easy to manage!" Mao Zedong said humorously, "If we work together, we will manage the world!"
The existing diary of Zhu Kezhen, from 1936 to 1974 on February 6th, has more than 8 million words for 38 consecutive years. The day before his death, he also recorded the temperature and wind of the day with trembling notes.
