Wu Chongjun (192 1 ~ 1995), a sedimentologist, is one of the founders of sedimentary petrology in China. In the early 1950s, the first batch of petroleum geology laboratories were established and the first reference textbook of sedimentary petrology in petroleum university was compiled, which was a pioneer in the teaching and textbook construction of sedimentary petrology in China's petroleum university. She put forward and summarized the distribution, structure and sedimentary characteristics of Sarthou sandstone body in Daqing Oilfield, which provided reliable basic data for the exploration and development of Daqing Oilfield and was awarded the title of "Red Flag Bearer" by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry. His monograph Sedimentary Rock is the first monograph on sedimentary petrology in China. She founded the sedimentology of continental petroliferous basins in China, and the Sedimentology of China petroliferous basins edited by her is the first systematic monograph on sedimentology of continental petroliferous basins at home and abroad, which has important theoretical and applied value. It was published twice by Petroleum Industry Press and published in English. She has made indelible contributions to the development of petroleum industry and sedimentary petrology in China.

History of Geology Series 6

Wu Chongyun, a native of Jiangjin County, Sichuan Province. 1938 Nankai Middle School moved to Chongqing, and Wu Chongyun did not graduate from junior high school, that is, he applied for Nankai High School with the same academic qualifications and was admitted. 194 1 When graduating from high school, some famous universities registered for exams on different dates. Wu Chongyun applied for five universities: Chengdu West China Medical College, Department of Agricultural Economics of Jinling University, Chongqing University, The National SouthWest Associated University and Department of Geology of Central University. It has been published one after another, and all of them have been admitted. She likes physics and agriculture, but she thinks that the development and utilization of resources is the key to the prosperity of the country, not only for the "war of resistance", but also for future generations. My brother didn't trust her to travel to Kunming alone, and finally entered the Geology Department of Central University.

She is the only girl in the class of Geology Department of Central University. She studied so hard that the teachers in her department refused to let her go when she graduated. 1945 After graduation, he became Dean Zhang Geng and Professor Li Xueqing's teaching assistant. After the victory of "Anti-Japanese War", he went to Nanjing with Central University.

From 65438 to 0947, Wu Chongyun went to study in the Geology Department of Louisiana State University, USA, and studied micro-paleontology in sediments under the guidance of R.S.Russell, director of the department. He got his master's degree in the summer of 1949, and married Zhu, an international student at the same school, in August. 1950 1 went to the Department of Geology of the University of Wisconsin to study for a doctorate. Soon after, in response to the call of the new China, the couple returned to the motherland on the ship President Wilson in September 1950, and joined the General Administration of Petroleum of the Ministry of Fuel Industry in October 165438/KLOC-0. Wu Chongyun and his wife donated nearly 2000 dollars to the country.

195 1 year, 56 days after giving birth to her first child, she participated in the preparations for the first national oil exhibition. According to the exploration policy of "from west to east" put forward by Soviet experts after they came to China, the General Administration of Petroleum organized an exploration team. 1952 Shortly after the Spring Festival, she and several teachers took a group of young people out of Yumen Pass in the west. As the only woman and leader of the team, she went deep into the site to conduct geological exploration in Qingcaowan, Hongshuxia and Yinjigongtai, and then transferred to Yumen as the director of the laboratory to set up a new laboratory. 1953 In late spring, she went to Sichuan and Xi 'an on business again. In a year and a half, the first batch of petroleum exploration laboratories were established in Yumen, Chengdu and Xi 'an respectively.

From 65438 to 0954, he served as the director and associate professor of the mineral and rock teaching and research section of the newly established Beijing Petroleum Institute, teaching sedimentary petrology, general petrology, crystalline mineralogy, optical mineralogy and drilling geophysical petrology. At that time, Soviet textbooks were mainly used, which were not suitable for China's specific situation and should be rewritten. As the director of the teaching and research section, she organized the compilation of teaching materials while teaching and set up a laboratory.

In September, 1959, well songji 3 in Songliao basin produced oil by blowout. 12 February, accompanied by Soviet experts, Wu Chongjun weaned his third child who was just born for 4 months. The battle of Daqing began in the spring of 1960. In March, Wu Chongyun and a group of teachers and students from the Petroleum Institute went to Daqing, and the leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum named her to be responsible for setting up a geological laboratory. In July, he was transferred to the contrast brigade of the front-line headquarters as the captain of the Yan Xin team, specializing in the collection, collation and analysis of drilling cores, which was an important part of obtaining all accurate data at that time. The leaders of the headquarters, including the minister, have listened to her explain the geological knowledge, and have since been called Professor Wu. I didn't return to Beijing until the end of the year. 1962, I went to Daqing again and met Premier Zhou Enlai. During the development of Daqing Oilfield, she went to work in Daqing six times and was awarded the title of "Red Flag Bearer" by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.

1963, Wu Chongyun was a member of the Fourth China People's Political Consultative Conference. In February 65438, Premier Zhou announced at the fourth session of the Second National People's Congress that China was basically self-sufficient in oil. "The era when China people used foreign oil will be gone forever." She was excited by the gradual prosperity of the motherland when she listened to the report in the Great Hall of the People, and was glad that she could take part in some work.

1969, 1 1 In June, Wu Chongyun moved to Dongying, Shandong with Beijing Petroleum Institute. 1June, 970, he gave lectures to the first batch of workers, peasants and soldiers, took field practice, and taught students in accordance with their aptitude according to the uneven basic knowledge, which was well received.

She was seconded back to Beijing on 1974. At that time, many large oil fields in the world were discovered in carbonate rocks, and there were also large areas of carbonate deposits in southern China. The leader of the Ministry gave her this topic. Wu Chongyun translated and edited important international documents on carbonate rocks, made field trips and gave lectures on many courses and seminars on carbonate rocks.

From 65438 to 0977, Wu Chongyun was transferred to China Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute, where he served as deputy chief geologist from 65438 to 0978. He works in the deposition room and is the first doctoral supervisor of the Institute.

1985 "Long-term stable waterflooding development technology in the annual oilfield" won the national special prize for scientific and technological progress, with Wu Chongjun as the main participant. She is the first, second and third directors of China Petroleum Institute, the second and third directors of China Mineral and Rock Geochemistry Society, and the vice chairman of Sedimentary Society.

After 8 years, Wu Chongyun completed the book Sedimentology of Oil-bearing Basins in China. This book was published twice by Petroleum Industry Press 1992, and 1993 won the 7th China Book Award, and 1994 won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of China Oil and Gas Corporation. 1997 petroleum industry press published the English version of the book. At that time, Wu Chongjun died on August 7, 1995 at the age of 74.

First, the founder of the new China Petroleum Geology Laboratory.

Wu Chongyun was one of the earliest students who returned to the United States after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). At that time, the country was seriously short of oil, and the national leaders had noticed the importance of oil, and oil exploration became the top priority of the General Administration of Petroleum. According to the opinions of Soviet experts, Ganqing area is the focus. 1in the spring of 952, she and the exploration team went out of Yumenguan in the west and went deep into the northwest plateau for field geological exploration, and served as the team leader. We strengthened the field work and soon found that the laboratory work could not keep up. When Wu Chongyun was in Louisiana State University, his master's research topic was the study of micro-paleontology, which played a decisive role in the dating of sedimentary rocks. Most of the work is done in the laboratory. So, the General Administration transferred her back to Yumen as the director of the laboratory and set up a new laboratory. Under extremely difficult conditions at that time, she organized laboratories, deployed experimental equipment and trained talents. According to different experimental projects, she trained professionals in groups, which enabled the laboratory work to be carried out quickly and comprehensively, cooperated with field work, became the first petroleum geological laboratory in China, and quickly completed the comprehensive profile of Paleogene and Neogene rocks, which played a great role in the division of terrestrial Paleogene and Neogene strata lacking biological fossils, provided a basis for determining the drilling target horizon, created the research and application prospect of petroleum geological exploration rock and mineral work, and trained a group of young people.

With the continuous development of geological exploration, experimental analysis is becoming increasingly severe, and the popularization of experimental technology is imminent. 1953, she went to Sichuan to set up a laboratory. In the second half of the year, she set up a laboratory of the National Petroleum Geology Center in Xi 'an to train more young people. She was pregnant with a second child, but didn't tell her colleagues. Just bring a pair of boiled scissors and some gauze, just in case. When running in the wild, the road was bumpy, so she put her hand on the seat and sat on it to reduce the bumps.

In this way, the first batch of petroleum geology laboratories in New China were established, which provided a lot of rich basic data and analysis results for petroleum exploration, greatly improved the scientific level of oil and gas exploration and development, and promoted the development of petroleum industry. The people she trained in those years later became the backbone of this field.

/kloc-in the spring of 0/960, Wu Chongjun participated in the Daqing Battle, and the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum named her to be responsible for setting up the geological laboratory. Later, he went to the contrast brigade of the front-line headquarters as the captain of the Yan Xin team. Comparative analysis of drilling cores is an important aspect of identifying reservoirs, calculating reserves and making development plans, and it is also an important link of "taking 20 items of data and 72 kinds of data completely and accurately". However, drilling coring is troublesome and affects the footage, and the drilling team does not pay much attention to it. In order to improve the heart rate and ensure the quality of coring, she led the team members to the drilling team to eat, live and work with the workers, and at the same time preached the importance and significance of coring. With the support of leaders and workers at all levels, the heart rate has been greatly improved, and the heart rate and core quality of key wells have reached the requirements. At that time, the conditions of Daqing Battle were extremely difficult. She led the whole team to collect and carry the cores themselves, assembled a prefabricated house as a laboratory, and sorted, kept and analyzed the cores. According to the core data and other geological data, the underground palace in the production experimental area of Daqing Oilfield was built. It has made important contributions to the development of Daqing Oilfield.

Second, the pioneer of sedimentary petrology teaching and textbook construction in China Petroleum University.

From 65438 to 0954, Wu Chongyun was transferred to the newly established Beijing Petroleum Institute and was the first person to teach sedimentary petrology. At that time, the Ministry of Higher Education designated Soviet textbooks as the main ones, but they were not applicable. While undertaking heavy teaching tasks, she taught herself Russian. Two boxes of English books brought back from America can only be read at home. About 300,000 words of reference materials for sedimentary petrology were compiled, which greatly improved the teaching level of sedimentary petrology. This textbook, printed by Beijing Petroleum Institute, is the forerunner of sedimentary petrology textbooks in petroleum system universities in China. On the basis of this reference textbook, 1962, she edited the textbook Sedimentary Petrology of Petroleum University with 380,000 words, which was published by China Industry Press. This is the first officially published textbook of sedimentary petrology in China, and it is also the first textbook of sedimentary petrology written by China people themselves. Since then, the textbook has been adopted by almost all related majors in domestic universities, and its application scope far exceeds that of petroleum universities, with wide and far-reaching influence.

1963, Wu Chongyun organized experts from petroleum factories and mines, and cooperated with teachers from the Department of Rock and Minerals of Beijing Petroleum Institute to compile a 540,000-word monograph "Sedimentary Rock" in three years. Later, it was revised and edited and published by the press of the Ministry of Fuel Chemical Industry as 1977. This is the first monograph on sedimentary petrology published in China. After the Cultural Revolution, Wu Chongyun edited the book and took great risks with the editors. But once published, it was well received by geologists in universities, oil fields, exploration and other scientific research and production departments, and was widely used as a reference book.

After Wu Chongyun was transferred from Petroleum Institute at the end of 1970s, he still presided over Sedimentary Petrology 1982 and 1993 edited by East China Petroleum Institute, which played an important role in the finalization of the two books. These two textbooks are the continuation and expansion of the above textbooks and monographs. Among them, "Sedimentary Petrology" (2nd edition) published by Petroleum Industry Press 1993, with a word of1000000, won the third prize of excellent teaching materials in petroleum colleges of China National Petroleum Corporation, which is the crystallization of more than 40 years' teaching practice and teaching material construction of two generations of China Shiyou University headed by Wu Chongyun.

Third, the founder of sedimentology in China's continental petroliferous basin.

Most foreign oil fields are marine deposits, while more than 90% of China's crude oil reserves come from continental deposits or take continental deposits as source rocks, that is, source rocks. Therefore, the study of sedimentology in continental sedimentary basins is of great academic significance and practical application value for finding out the generation, accumulation and distribution of oil and gas, and is of great significance for the development of China's petroleum industry.

Since China discovered Daqing Oilfield and Shengli Oilfield, Wu Chongyun has been teaching sedimentary petrology and compiling teaching materials to study the continental sedimentary characteristics of China Oilfield. After 1977 was officially transferred to China Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute, she further systematically studied the characteristics and laws of continental oil-bearing basins in China and their relationship with oil fields, and went deep into oil fields many times. After decades of practice and research, she initiated the sedimentology of continental oil-bearing basins with China characteristics, and put forward the distribution law of Mesozoic and Cenozoic continental basins in China, lake classification and lake basin filling types, division of sedimentary environment in lakes, and types and classifications of lake basin sand bodies.

Wu Chongyun systematically and deeply studied the sedimentary characteristics and controlling factors of Mesozoic and Cenozoic lakes in China, and put forward three principles to classify lake basins: paleotectonic properties, paleogeographic location and paleoclimate environment. According to the comprehensive analysis results and the needs of practical application, the classification system of Mesozoic and Cenozoic lakes in China and 12 lake types are established, namely, offshore faulted freshwater lake, inland faulted freshwater lake, offshore depressed freshwater lake and inland depressed freshwater lake; Offshore fault transitional freshwater lake and inland fault transitional freshwater lake; Offshore faulted salt lakes and inland faulted salt lakes; Offshore Depression Salt Lake, Inland Depression Salt Lake, Offshore Fault Salt Lake, Inland Fault Salt Lake. She directed the research group to compile a series of sedimentary facies maps of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary basins in China, showing the sedimentary evolution history of various lake basins and the environment of oil and gas generation and accumulation, which laid a theoretical foundation for oil and gas resources evaluation and delineation of exploration fields.

Wu Chongyun deeply studied the sedimentary characteristics of ancient lakes, investigated and analyzed the shoreline changes, hydrodynamic conditions and the characteristics and distribution of corresponding sediments in modern lakes in detail, and put forward three interfaces: wave bottom, dry surface and flood surface as the basis for dividing the internal environment of lakes. These three interfaces control the distribution of source and reservoir; Good source rocks are distributed below the wave base level, and most reservoir sand bodies such as delta, fan delta and beach bar are distributed between the wave base level and flood surface. Turbidite sand position is below Apollo bottom. Taking three interfaces as the basis for dividing the internal environment of lakes has important theoretical significance and application value, and has been widely recognized and popularized.

Wu Chongyun systematically analyzed the sedimentary characteristics and genetic environment of various sand bodies developed from the near source area to the far source area of the lake basin, and put forward the principles and methods of division, identification marks and division system. The principle of division emphasizes that the lake basin should be considered as a whole, and the types of sand bodies should be divided according to the lake subfacies zone where the sand bodies are located, that is, water depth, slope, distance from source region, distance from shore zone and distance from estuary. The division method starts with the analysis of sedimentary facies, which not only studies the sedimentary characteristics of sand body itself, but also studies the sedimentary characteristics and environmental factors of surrounding rock of sand body. In fact, it is a comprehensive analysis method of sedimentary facies based on the principle of * * * facies combination, which improves the prediction ability and exploration foresight of sand bodies. Lake sand bodies are divided into five categories: delta, fan delta, underwater fan, beach bar and generalized turbidite sand bodies. For the identification marks of various sand bodies, the sedimentary environment, surrounding rock characteristics, sedimentation, sand body characteristics, main development stages, adjacent sand bodies and differences with similar sand bodies are comprehensively and systematically summarized.

On the basis of these studies, Wu Chongyun summarized the Mesozoic and Cenozoic lake basin sedimentary models in China, and expounded three lake basin sedimentary models and styles, source rocks and reservoir types and their distribution laws in the lake basin. She led the research group to systematically analyze and study the oil and gas potential of Cenozoic sedimentary basins on many continental shelves in the eastern, central, western and southeastern coastal areas of China. The eastern basin includes Songliao, Erlian, Bohai Bay, Nanxiang, Jianghan and northern Jiangsu. The central basin includes Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Sichuan, Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi and so on. The western region includes Jiuxi, Qaidam, Turpan, Junggar and Tarim. Coastal continental shelf areas include East China Sea, Pearl River Estuary, Yingqiong and Beibu Gulf. The geological structure, sedimentary environment, sedimentary facies types and evolution, diagenesis, oil and gas source-reservoir combination and distribution of the basin are comprehensively analyzed. The oil and gas potential and distribution law of various types of basins are revealed. It is pointed out that the Mesozoic-Cenozoic in China is dominated by river and lake deposits, and a small number of marine or transitional fossils have been found in a few strata in the east, indicating that these basins have been affected by transgression, but the period and scope of the influence are short-lived and partial, which is the characteristic of offshore basins and offshore lakes. It is further pointed out that the period affected by transgression is the development period of main source rocks. Through comprehensive analysis, it is judged that the direction of Paleogene transgression in eastern China is from south to north and from west to east.

Wu Chongyun's idea of sedimentology of continental petroliferous basins is ingenious and complete, which not only expounds the basic theory of lake basin sedimentation, but also describes the sedimentary characteristics and petroliferous properties of important petroliferous basins, and rises to a summary of the relationship between continental sedimentation and oil and gas generation, storage and accumulation. The main achievement is reflected in Sedimentology of Oil-bearing Basins in China, edited by her, which was brewed from 1983 to 65433. After she was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, she still insisted on completing the monograph. The paperback edition was published by Petroleum Industry Press on 1992, and the hardcover edition was reprinted on 1993. It has become an essential reference book for people engaged in basin geological research and oil exploration and development, and also an important teaching reference book for relevant institutions, which has attracted the attention of international peers. 1997 petroleum industry publishing house published the English version of this book, which appeared at the world petroleum congress held in Beijing, and its influence was more extensive and far-reaching. Academician Ye Lianjun called it "breadth, depth, originality and advanced level at home and abroad", which is the first comprehensive monograph on oil and gas sedimentology in China.

With the continuous development of oil and gas exploration in China, the reserves of lithologic and stratigraphic reservoirs are increasing, and sedimentology of continental oil and gas basins in China initiated by Wu Chongyun is playing an increasingly important role.

4. One of the founders of sedimentary petrology in China.

Sedimentary petrology is one of the important basic disciplines in earth science, and its principles and methods are of great guiding significance for finding sedimentary deposits, especially for oil and gas exploration and development.

Wu Chongyun has been engaged in teaching sedimentary petrology and compiling teaching materials since he was transferred to Beijing Petroleum Institute from 65438 to 0954. At that time, according to the needs of new China construction, geology developed rapidly, and universities of geology and petroleum were in urgent need of corresponding teaching materials. Wu Chongyun made great efforts to compile textbooks suitable for the actual situation in China. Sedimentary Petrology (published in 1962) and Sedimentary Rock (published in 1977) edited by her are the earliest published textbooks and monographs on sedimentary petrology written by China people.

Wu Chongyun's research on sedimentary petrology is closely related to China petroleum industry, which is combined with practice and serves the actual production. During her participation in the exploration and development of Daqing Oilfield, she proposed and summarized the distribution, structure and sedimentary characteristics of sandstone bodies in Sarthou area, which provided reliable basic data for the exploration and development of Daqing Oilfield. She studied different types of sedimentary facies models in the rift lake basin in eastern China, and wrote papers such as Lithofacies Palaeogeography of Oil Areas, Mesozoic Lake Basin Delta and Oil and Gas Distribution, and Turbidite in Rift Lake Basin, which enriched the content of sedimentology research in China and laid the foundation for oil exploration and development. The academic report "Tectonic Lake Basin Delta and Oil and Gas Distribution" made at the 1 1 Congress of Sedimentologists held in Canada from 65438 to 0982 aroused great interest and praise from the participating scholars.

In 1970s and 1980s, with the rapid development of oil and gas exploration and development in China, a variety of oil and gas reservoir sand bodies with rich and colorful sedimentary characteristics were found in various oil regions. Wu Chongyun grasped the forefront of international sedimentology research, led and organized the translation of the latest foreign papers on turbidity current and fan delta, and personally wrote a summary article.

In the mid-1980s, as a key project of the Ministry of Petroleum, oil and gas reservoir research not only achieved important results, but also faced the problem of further improving the research level. At this critical moment, Wu Chongyun put forward two important suggestions: one is to study and compile the lithofacies palaeogeographic map of China oil-bearing basin; The second is to establish a special laboratory to conduct flume tests and investigate modern lake sediments. Both suggestions were adopted. The flume laboratory is in charge of Jianghan Petroleum Institute, and Wu Chongyun is hired as a consultant. The person in charge is her student and has received her guidance many times. The laboratory started to run on 1998, and simulated the sedimentary system of river delta in Daqing Oilfield, sedimentary microfacies in Changqing Oilfield and formation mechanism of fan delta sand body in Liaohe Oilfield, and achieved good results. The compilation of National Lithofacies Paleogeographic Map was undertaken by China Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute, and1.4000 maps were compiled. Wu Chongjun led the research group to complete the sedimentary facies series of Mesozoic and Cenozoic petroliferous basins in China. It laid a foundation for the further study of oil exploration target layer, not only solved the problems raised in production, but also developed the research of basic disciplines.

During his stay in China Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute, although Wu Chongyun was a deputy chief geologist and professor-level senior engineer, he always worked in the sedimentary chamber. She learned from and absorbed China's new progress and research achievements in the fields of petroleum exploration and earth science, and summarized, compared and analyzed the unique lacustrine sedimentary characteristics and development experience of eastern China oilfield. She led the research group, made many in-depth oil field and field investigations, and carried out practical research on sedimentary petrology with China characteristics. After decades of scientific practice and dialectical thinking, she founded the sedimentology of continental oil-bearing basins in China, and put forward that lake basin types divided by paleostructure, paleoclimate and paleogeography are important sedimentology basis for evaluating the potential of oil and gas resources. The secondary environment in the lake is divided into three interfaces: wave base surface, dry surface and flood surface, and the hydrocarbon generation and accumulation environment of different types of lakes is pointed out. The genetic classification of lake basin sand bodies is the scientific basis for oil and gas reservoir evaluation and prediction, which opens up a new field for sedimentary petrology in China.

Journal of Sedimentology was founded in 1983, with Wu Chongyun as the deputy editor. She examined each issue of the manuscript carefully. This periodical has attracted the attention of colleagues at home and abroad. It was listed as "National Core Periodical of Natural Science" by 1992, and also rated as "Core Periodical" by Peking University Library Association and Peking University Library Periodical Research Association, and "Excellent Sci-tech Periodical" by Gansu Province.

Sedimentary petrology, sedimentary rocks and sedimentology in China petroliferous basin are three milestones of Wu Chongyun's lifelong teaching and research on sedimentary petrology, and also her indelible contribution to the establishment and development of sedimentary petrology in China.

5. Set an example, be indifferent to fame and fortune, and be the cornerstone.

Wu Chongyun spent a large part of his life in education. She attaches great importance to teaching and educating people and has a high sense of responsibility for students. The editor has often listened to her since she was a child, and she must never delay a student. In the early days of Beijing Petroleum Institute, she served as the teaching task of five courses, all of which had to compile teaching materials. At the same time, as the director of the teaching and research section, she has to set up a laboratory and arrange training for young people. The task is heavy. However, she refused to be careless at all. Each course should be tried out in the teaching and research section first, then told to the students, and then revised into a formal textbook. In addition to the teaching materials of sedimentary petrology, she also compiled the teaching materials of crystalline mineralogy, optical mineralogy and general petrology, all of which were printed by Beijing Petroleum Institute.

In addition to teaching, she also gave lectures in classes, training courses and seminars of petroleum system for many times, and explained geological knowledge to headquarters leaders including Minister Yu during Daqing Games. She is highly respected and called Professor Wu, and this title has been with her all her life.

1969165438+10 In October, Beijing Petroleum Institute moved to the location of Shengli Oilfield in Dongying, Shandong Province. 1970 recruited the first batch of college students of workers, peasants and soldiers, and Wu Chongyun gave them classes and took them to the field for internship. Some of these students are directly selected from oil fields and rural areas, with poor basic knowledge and uneven knowledge level. Wu Chongyun teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. He tried to make his lecture as simple as possible. He gave examples of teaching in oil fields and often made up lessons for some students with poor family foundation, which was well received. At that time, during the Cultural Revolution, someone pointed the finger at her without naming her. Wu Zhongyun, however, can hold her breath and say to her classmates who are worried about her: As long as I don't call my name directly, I will still go to class and go to the wild, and I won't delay you.

In the 1980s, when China Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute was approved by the state to recruit graduate students, Wu Chongyun was the first batch of tutors hired, and successively recruited 1 1 master students and doctoral students. She is very serious and responsible for the cultivation of graduate students, giving targeted lectures on sedimentology, taking students to the oil field for investigation and research, and reaching an agreement with the head of oil field technology on topics with academic research value, practical application significance and rich information. Instruct students to collect and study materials, carefully read the papers, and carefully read them word for word when finalizing the papers. One graduate student was very interested in the microstructure of sedimentary rocks and used it as a thesis, which deviated from the original theme and research content. Wu Chongyun seriously pointed out the shortcomings and postponed his defense, allowing him to rewrite the paper as required.

At the same time, Wu Chongyun respects the experience and achievements of grassroots workers in oil fields, factories and mines in practice. And when writing a book, she either adopts a cooperative way or carefully explains the source of information, so people in oil fields, factories and mines are willing to cooperate with her. The monographs "Sedimentary Rocks" (1977) and "Sedimentology of Oil-bearing Basins in China" (1993) edited by her were both completed by oilfield technicians.

Wu Zhongyun doesn't want to be an official. He just wants to be an ordinary scholar. She has always maintained the traditional Chinese virtues of rigorous scholarship, seeking truth from facts, respecting the achievements of others and not seeking fame.

1993, the Sedimentary Society (a secondary society led by geological society of china and China Mineral and Rock Geochemistry Society) recommended Wu Chongjun as a candidate for China Academy of Sciences, but he was unsuccessful at the following level. At the beginning of 1995, China Petroleum Institute (the first-class institute) recommended Wu Chongyun as an academician candidate of China Academy of Sciences, which was approved by China Petroleum and Natural Gas Corporation, but was not elected. The Dictionary of International Biography of the International Biography Center in Cambridge, England, and The Man in 1995 in the United States both wanted to be included, but she refused because they wanted to charge. In the 1990s, the state subsidized scientific and technical personnel who made special contributions, and China Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute listed her as one of those who enjoyed this subsidy. Soon, the state also gave subsidies to overseas students who returned to China in their early years. The college asked her to give up her post and only receive an early return allowance. She totally agrees. However, as an honor, she will enjoy the special contribution allowance of the government in the future, and there are various practical benefits in terms of professional title evaluation (academician) and housing allocation, but she has never complained.

After returning to China, Wu Chongyun has been engaged in teaching and educating people and basic scientific research. She herself said: for more than 40 years, teaching, taking graduate students and training young people accounted for a large proportion. It is also basic to do some practical work and research, and serve the overall goal of oil and gas exploration. I think this is the responsibility of an ordinary technician. "Coming from behind" and "shining on you" are the inevitable laws of scientific development, and I am very satisfied that they can become a step on the road of more young people's development.

Wu Chongyun is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is willing to knock on the door. It is her greatest comfort to hope that the motherland will be strong and the people will be rich.
