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, engineering, and education. They are the highest academic honors bestowed by the state in the areas of science and technology and engineering, carrying great prestige and scholarly authority. The Autobiographies of Distinguished Academicians features written recollections by these senior academicians of valuable events and figures passed down to the world. 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 universities, departments (specialties), research institutes, or scientific organizations; recall their mentors; or reminisce about their peers, among other topics. Since the academicians personally pen their own firsthand experiences, the accounts are not only authentic and detailed but also filled with passion, making them even more engaging to read.
