In the summer of 197 1, Yang Zhenning visited New China. He was the first famous China scholar to visit New China. He has played a great role in Sino-American cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between Chinese and American people, and won the praise of President Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai.
1979 65438+1On October 30th, Yang Zhenning delivered a speech at the banquet hosted by the All-American Chinese Association, Chinese from all walks of life in the United States and the US-China Friendship Association to welcome Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping: On behalf of the All-American Chinese Association and Chinese from all walks of life in the United States, I warmly welcome you to this banquet!
Today, I spent a lot of time writing this short speech, and the papers were sent to the wastebasket one by one. This reminds me of a similar experience more than forty years ago. I was a junior high school student at Chongde Middle School in Beijing. I remember that I was very nervous at that time in order to participate in the junior high school students' speech contest in Zhongshan Park. I couldn't sleep for several nights. My topic is "The Responsibility of Middle School Students"-it was 1209 and 120 16 years ago.
Yang Zhenning couldn't restrain his inner excitement, and went on to say that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States and Vice Premier Deng's visit were watershed in modern history. A new era in international relations has begun. Academic, cultural, commercial and tourism exchanges between China and the United States will be greatly expanded. The chances of China families reuniting in the United States will also be greatly increased.
1978 In the summer, when the whole country was striding forward to the four modernization goals, Yang Zhenning visited New China again. On July 2 1, I flew over Namutaiwa Mountain on my way to Lhasa. This mountain is more than 7750 meters high. In Medog County, Tibet, the focus of the bend of the Yarlung Zangbo River is higher than any mountain range in Europe, Africa, the United States and Australia. Wonders unforgettable, I feel a poem:
Exquisite and shiny,
Snow casting, ridge ice sculpture, Sichuan;
Endless,
Deep and quiet for hundreds of millions of years,
The world has been turbulent for 200 generations,
Clouds, water, wind and thunder change rapidly;
If you ask about the future of that mountain,
Everything is fighting for time.
1977 became the first president of the All-American Chinese Association and did a lot of work to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States (1979). 198 1 established CEEG Award in Xishi Campus, and donated money from the United States and Hongkong to support China universities and scientific research institutions to be visiting scholars in Xishi. Up to now, more than 80 people have received this support, and most of them have returned to their original units.
1983 yang Zhenning founded the foundation of advanced academic research center of sun yat-sen university in hong kong and served as its chairman.
Since 1986, Yang Zhenning has been invited by Professor Chen Shengshen to set up a theoretical physics laboratory in the Institute of Mathematics of Nankai University, which has enjoyed a high reputation in the international mathematical physics field for several years.
Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize in Physics with 1957, the rumford Prize with 1980 and the National Science Medal with 1986. He holds several honorary degrees and is an honorary professor at many universities in China. Now lives in Tsinghua University. Party member, a famous architect, party member, a producer of China, is an academician of China Academy of Sciences.
190 1 Born in Tokyo, China, he is the eldest son of Liang Qichao, a famous figure in modern history. 19 12 Liang Sicheng returned from Japan with his parents. 1913-1915 studied in the primary school of chongde school, and my brother Liang Siyong also studied in chongde.
Liang Sicheng 1923 graduated from Tsinghua University, and 1927 graduated from Pengsheng University with a master's degree. From 65438 to 0928, he returned to China and founded the Department of Architecture of Northeastern University. 193 1 joined the China Architectural Society, an academic institution specializing in the study of ancient architecture in China. From 65438 to 0946, he founded the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and from 65438 to 0972, he served as the department head until his death.
1947 received an honorary doctorate in literature from Princeton University. After liberation, he was elected as the vice chairman of China Architecture Society. Liang Sicheng has been engaged in the education and research of the history of ancient architecture in China all his life. Since 1930s, I have presided over and participated in the investigation of more than 2,000 examples of ancient buildings. He has accumulated a large number of precious ancient architectural materials in China and made a systematic and in-depth study of ancient architecture and art in China.
In the mid-1940s, Liang Sicheng and our nation suffered from poverty and illness, and suffered setbacks again and again. At that time, some American universities and museums invited him to give lectures and visit in the United States, and some American friends also tried to persuade them to work and treat diseases in the United States. He immediately said: my motherland is in disaster, and I can't leave her; If I have to die under a bayonet or a bomb, I will die on the land of my motherland.
Fei Zhengqing, a famous American scholar, recalled that we met again in the west of China during World War II. They are all semi-disabled patients, but they are still desperate to devote themselves to academic research under extremely difficult conditions. In our hearts, they are lofty models who are not afraid of difficulties and devote themselves to science. ..... Neither illness nor hard life affected their enthusiasm for pioneering research. It was during this period that Liang Sicheng wrote the Architectural History of China. He wrote this book in English in order to introduce the treasures of China architecture and its structural principles to the world. This is because they are familiar with China's classical culture and foreign architecture as art and science. It also shows that they not only have a very high academic level, but also have lofty moral cultivation, which enables them to persist in self-sacrifice and make their own contributions to the people of China.
It was during this period that Liang Sicheng successfully conquered the gobbledygook "Architectural Style" and drew the sketches of the main chapters with modern engineering drawing methods.
During this period, Liang Sicheng completed the first architectural history of China in China. It has realized the long-cherished wish that the architectural history of China should be written by China people.
The compilation of architectural history of China was completed on 1943.
When he wrote "Architectural History of China", he often thought of the information about China architecture written by some foreign scholars when he first studied China architecture, and felt that there were too many fallacies. As a native of China, he has the responsibility to introduce the architecture of his motherland to foreign countries. However, there are many obscure technical terms in China's architecture, which are both difficult and boring for foreign readers, so he decided to write an English version of China's architectural history with simple words and all illustrations in English and Chinese. It is called "Architectural History of China". This book was completed on 1945. 1946, Liang Sicheng brought the manuscript to the United States for publication, but for various reasons, it was not published in MIT Press until 1984. At this time, Liang Sicheng died in 12.
After the book was published, it was highly praised in America. The famous American professor of China's cultural history and American experts and scholars in oriental art all expressed their high appreciation. People think that it has made the most valuable contribution to the understanding of China culture. It is not only China's narrative, but also an important historical document.
MIT Press also won the honor of 65438-0984 excellent American publishing house for publishing this book.
Mr. Chen Zhi, a famous architect, said: This masterpiece was written in English by China architects for the first time, and it is an authoritative brief history of China architecture. Let China architecture shine in the world.
During the period of 1947, Liang Sicheng was recommended by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the design consultant of the United Nations Building. In April of the same year, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Princeton University/KLOC-0, Liang Siwei was invited to give two academic reports, Sculpture in the Tang and Song Dynasties and Architectural Discovery, at the Far East Cultural and Social Seminar. He was the only one among all the scholars and experts who attended the meeting to give two academic reports. Princeton University awarded him an honorary doctorate in literature in recognition of his contribution to the study of architecture in China.
He said that after returning to China, Liang Sicheng was determined to build an architecture department that reached the highest international level? Quot An architect should have a wide range of knowledge, including philosopher's mind, sociologist's vision, engineer's precision and practice, psychologist's sensitivity and writer's insight ... The most essential thing is that he should be a comprehensive artist with cultural literacy.
As a student, Liang Sicheng not only studied well, but also had a wide range of interests, loved sports and was good at music and art. At that time, he was a famous football player at school. He won the first place in the high jump in the school sports meeting, and his skills in parallel bars and skipping rope are also amazing. Liang Sicheng recalled: I am very grateful to my alma mater for training me and strict physical training. I think, if I don't have a good body, how can I do field trips and parallel bars and rope climbing training at school, so that I can climb beams and columns freely when mapping ancient buildings.
After liberation, Liang Sicheng actively participated in the urban planning of the capital Beijing, presided over and participated in the design of the National Emblem of China and the Monument to the People's Heroes. The Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University led by him has trained a large number of outstanding architectural talents for New China.
Liang Sicheng studied in our school when he was a teenager. Today, reviewing the glorious life of Liang Sicheng's old alumni makes us feel cordial and encouraged. Famous geodesy and geophysicist. Born in 1904, party member, China, member of China Academy of Sciences.
When Liu Shuze, the old headmaster, led his classmates to visit Fang Jun, Fang Lao said excitedly: I was admitted to Chongde in the winter of 19 19. I stayed in the first year after school, took the second place in the second year, and skipped two classes two years later. I was admitted to Tangshan Jiaotong University on 1923 and studied in Chongde for three years. At that time, Chongde had a good style of study. I benefited from Chongde, and my school's English is outstanding. After two years of study, I can speak fluent English, and I am also good at English. School football is quite famous, and there is a rare swimming pool. I like this school very much. This school has also accepted many children of celebrities. Wang Shiquan in my class is the son of top scholar Shoupeng Wang. He studies very well. Since primary school, he has never won the second place. Haiyun Liu is the son of top scholar Liu Chunlin. Liang Sicheng and Liang Siyong, Liang Qichao's sons, are students of Chongde.
Professor Fang Jun is a famous geodesy and geophysicist at home and abroad, the founder of geodesy and geometry in China, the pioneer of solid tide research, and a scientist who has made outstanding achievements through hard self-study.
As early as the mid-1920s, due to his poor family, he had to drop out of Tangshan Jiaotong University and become an intern in the survey team of Tianjin Shunzhi Water Conservancy Commission. 193 1 year, he published his first translation, Projection Geometry. In 1930s, the first standard topographic wall chart in China came out, which broke the history of China copying foreign maps. Fang Jun is clearly written in the upper left corner of the original picture.
When the teachers and students of our school visited Fang Lao, Fang Lao personally? The huge picture album of Academician quot's elegant demeanor and the gift bottle presented by the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Military Commission of the Ministry of Space to congratulate him on his 90th birthday were transferred to his alma mater. In return for his good childhood education. The first thing Fang Lao said about his scientific experience was that people mainly rely on self-study. I always believe that diligence can make up for mistakes.
Academician Fang Jun's life is a life of hard study and constant climbing. Fang Lao's self-study spirit cultivated since childhood has provided valuable spiritual wealth for our school and set an example for us to learn forever.
1On May 5th, 998, Academician Fang Jun passed away in Beijing. Famous geophysicist, 19 15, from Anqiu, Shandong.
In May, when President Liu and his party came to the State Seismological Bureau to visit our old alumnus Qin Xinling, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and presented a flower basket to Qin Lao, Qin Lao said excitedly that at this moment, he brought an 80-year-old man back to his childhood and made him feel 60 years younger. I was as old as you when I was at school in Chongde. It was autumn in 1929 and I followed my parents.
From 65438 to 0937, Qin Xinling graduated from the Physics Department of Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree. Worked in the former (Central) Geological Survey. First, I studied seismic observation with the famous seismologist Li Shanbang at Jiu Feng Seismic Station in the western suburbs of Beijing, and engaged in geophysical exploration after the war. Lead-zinc ore, hematite, magnetite and placer gold ore have been discovered by gravity and magnetic methods in southwest provinces of China. 194 1 year, he first mapped three topographic maps of Panzhihua with Li Shanbang. The scale and distribution of iron ore in this area were discovered for the first time by magnetic method, and the iron ore samples were brought back to the laboratory for analysis for the first time, and were identified as ilmenite.
From 65438 to 0945, he went to United Geophysical Company, Slobodan Company and Jing Ling Company to study oil well seismic exploration and electrical survey. 1946 after returning to China, he engaged in electrical exploration tests and trial-produced radioactive exploration instruments. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, he was still engaged in geophysical exploration in the original geological survey, serving as a technician and technician.
1950- 12, associate researcher and researcher, Institute of Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 1956 to 1958, adjunct professor of radioactive prospecting in Beijing Institute of Geology. 1960 participated in the development of electronic instruments for meteorological rockets. 196 1 year 1 year to1June, 1966, and concurrently served as the director and professor of the Exploration Department of Geophysics Department of China University of Science and Technology. 1978, he served as the director of the Institute of Geophysics, State Seismological Bureau. Life member of geological society of china (since 1938), executive director of chinese geophysical society, director of the professional committee of instrument observation system of the institute, director of seismological society of china (the first session), honorary director of the second session and director of the International Earthquake Center. Member of the Earthquake Practice Committee of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior.
When telling teachers and students about his life course, Qin Lao urged his students to cultivate their hands-on ability from an early age. He said: I made a crystal receiver in junior high school, a vacuum tube shortwave radio in high school and an amateur radio station in college. The materials we use, such as thread ends, copper sheets, aluminum sheets, etc. Most of them are collected from garbage dumps. I think making a radio by myself can not only teach myself some radio knowledge, but also cultivate the spirit of thrift. When I was in Tsinghua, Mr. Sakamoto often told us: Theory alone is not enough. We must do it in practice to become a powerful country.
It is hoped that students will cultivate their practical ability from an early age and grow their talents in practice.
The student asked Qin Lao what his favorite motto was. Qin Lao raised his voice and said firmly: people are always happy with contentment, and they are happy without seeking wealth.
On October 28th, 20065438+01kloc-0, Qin Lao attended the celebration meeting of the 90th anniversary of Beijing No.31 Middle School. A famous physical organic chemist. 1980 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences. 19 1 1 was born in Beijing. 1923- 1925 studied in chongde middle school, 1934 graduated from the chemistry department of Tsinghua University, and stayed as a teaching assistant. 194 1 went to the United States to do organic chemistry research. 1946 graduated from the graduate school of Harvard University with a doctorate, and returned to China as a professor at Nankai University in the same year.
Gao Zhenheng specializes in physical organic chemistry and organic chemistry, and has been the leader of the Department of Chemistry of Nankai University for a long time, making contributions to the construction and development of the Department of Chemistry of Nankai University. Participated in China 12 year science plan, and has been the organizer of Chinese physical organic chemistry since 1962. He once served as the head of chinese chemical society Physical Organic Branch, and was praised as an old-timer in the field of physical organic in China. At that time, there was an opportunity to go abroad, and it was fashionable to take a few big pieces home. When Gao came back from abroad, he bought some scientific research instruments and put them at hand. The instruments and equipment brought back by Professor Gao from America are still treasured in the Chemistry Department of Nankai University.
He has published nearly 40 academic papers in China Science and Journal of Chemistry. Professor Gao has been blocking the teaching of organic chemistry, organic structure theory and physical organic chemistry, and has written four books, all of which are the first editions of this subject in China. His books are professional courses for college students and graduate teaching materials, which have considerable influence in China. Decades of educational career have trained many educational and scientific research talents for our country, and trained more than 20 doctoral and master students, many of whom have been sent abroad for further study or degree study.
Professor Gao Zhenheng left us on June 5438+0989 65438+1October 14 due to hypertension.
Many young experts and scholars active in the field of organic chemistry studied under Gao Zhenheng. To commemorate Professor Gao's academic spirit, they said: We can't forget that in the experiment, whenever our operation doesn't meet the requirements, he helps us correct it. He told us to form good scientific habits. Through these strict and serious requirements and training, we have cultivated our scientific literacy and benefited us for life. We can't forget that he often urges us to make accurate experimental records, and we can't let go of any phenomenon ... These requirements have a great impact on our future work. Although we lost our people, we have been in love for thousands of years. 1982 alumni.
