Huang Peiyun's father often transfers his post at the customs, and the whole family is with him. So Huang Peiyun studied in Beijing at primary school, Yantai at junior high school and Suzhou at senior high school. But this did not affect his studies, but broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge. Because of his studious work, he was admitted to the Chemistry Department of Tsinghua University with the excellent result of 1934. 1935, in order to save the nation from peril, he resolutely participated in the "December 9" movement. 1937, the Japanese invaders invaded Beiping, and Tsinghua University moved to Changsha, where they formed the National Temporary University of Changsha with Peking University and Nankai University. Soon, he moved west to Kunming and founded Southwest United University. 1February, 938, Huang Peiyun participated in a hiking group led by Professor Wen Yiduo and served as the leader of the student group. It took more than two months to walk from Changsha to Kunming. This walk has a great influence on Huang Peiyun's life. When recalling this past, he said: "It not only exercised my body and mind, but more importantly, I went deep into the hinterland and learned about the actual situation and sufferings of many people, which brought me closer to progress and revolution." 1938 graduated from Huang Peiyun University in September, and worked as a teaching assistant in Tsinghua University Metallurgical Institute.

1940, Huang Peiyun was admitted as the fifth publicly-funded student in Tsinghua University to study in the United States. 194 1 arrived in the United States in the autumn of, and studied for a doctorate in the graduate school of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 65438 to 0945, after receiving the doctor of science degree, she continued to engage in postdoctoral research in the institute, and married Zhao Xinna, the second daughter of Zhao Yuanren, an internationally renowned linguist at Harvard University, in July of the same year.

Huang Peiyun's doctoral thesis is entitled "Study on the existing forms of copper in copper reflection slag". After the paper was published, it was highly valued by the mining and metallurgy engineering circles in the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and other countries. The book Physical Chemistry of Copper Smelting published in Britain gives a detailed introduction to this article. Professor M. cohen, Huang Peiyun's mentor and internationally renowned scholar, attaches great importance to him and wants to keep him in the United States. However, in order to revitalize the Chinese nation, Huang Peiyun resolutely returned to the motherland with his wife who had been naturalized in the United States at the end of 1946 to save the country through science. 1in the spring of 947, he was hired as a professor and head of the Department of Mining and Metallurgy of Wuhan University. /kloc-in the winter of 0/948, when the China People's Liberation Army was preparing to cross the river to the south, her parents-in-law in the United States were worried about the safety of Huang Peiyun and his wife, and they sent letters and calls urging them to work in the United States immediately, but they were all declined.
