Features: The world has entered the knowledge economy era, and the innovation and accumulation of knowledge have become the most revolutionary driving force for economic development and social progress. To guide scientific and technological work, accumulate valuable scientific and technological history, and promote the scientific spirit and noble character of Chinese scientists, our press has planned the "Series of Chinese Academicians." We sincerely dedicate this series to the great cause of China's "rejuvenation through science and education." This series consists of 17 volumes, with each volume dedicated to one of the 17 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. They are primarily born in the 1920s, have achieved significant results and received major awards. The main content of each volume generally includes three parts: academic thought, academic papers, and monographs or excerpts from monographs, encompassing the authors' representative works from various periods (with a focus on recent works). Additionally, each volume includes a "Biographical Sketch" that describes the authors' lives and academic careers, allowing us to trace their journey to becoming scientists, admire their intellectual style and personal strength, and understand their motivations. The sections are generally arranged in chronological order of publication. Due to the long time span, physical units and symbols are retained as originally published. The format is consistent across all volumes, and foreign-language works are kept in their original language.
