Features: This book is a collection of personal growth journeys and reflections on the development of the times by eight senior academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. They all experienced the tumultuous changes in early 20th-century China, most of whom studied abroad in Europe and America, and ultimately became leaders in various disciplines of our country, achieving outstanding accomplishments. Many of the personal experiences narrated in the book, such as Tang Peisong's studies at Harvard University in the United States, Chen Mengxiong's adventures on the Yangtze River, and Shen Shanjiong's unjust detention by the United States in Japan during his return journey, are vivid chapters that only the participants themselves could describe.
