Features: Members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering are outstanding representatives of intellectuals in the fields of science, technology, and engineering education. They are the highest academic honors bestowed by the state in the areas of science and technology and engineering, carrying profound honor and academic authority. The Autobiographies of Renowned Academicians feature written recollections by these distinguished academicians of valuable events and figures passed down to posterity. They may reflect on their entire lives, or on specific periods, events, or individuals; recount their middle school and university years, their time studying abroad, teaching, and conducting research; trace the establishment and development of certain institutions, such as universities, disciplines, research institutes, or scientific societies; recall their mentors; or reminisce about their peers. As the academicians personally recount their own firsthand experiences, the accounts are not only authentic and detailed but also filled with passion, making them even more engaging to read. This book includes the recollections of nine renowned academicians: Qiu Weijing, Ren Meie, Zhang Disheng, Zheng Guochang, Chen Shupeng, Lu Baolin, Zhang Guangdou, Chen Bingcong, and Chen Taiyi.
