Original address: Qian xuesen last conversation system: University with innovative spirit (forward) author: http://News Dr Wang Fei. QQ.com November 05, 2009 people's network-people's daily, a famous Chinese scientist Qian xuesen (1911~2009). Gao Yanzhi Zhongguo photo finishing Note: after the death of the old money, a lot of people ask us: old money what words? and want our attendants to write an article "Qian xuesen last day" presentation. We have to tell you that money old at his death very serene, he has no last words. Because in the old some time before his death, he has been very difficult. We can provide, is money old one last time to talk to our system a consolidation of your artwork: old money on Science and technology innovation personnel training problem. It was at 301 hospital on March 29, 2005. Then old addressed this problem several times, including in some central leaders see him talk. It was all choppy, not a systematic and comprehensive. Today, we are in the safe storage of this conversation finish draft published for several years, it can be considered for a wide audience, to all those who admire, love money old one account. Come find you today, I want to tell you that I recently thought of a problem, that is talented. I would say that is not an ordinary cultivation of talent, but a question of technology innovation and personnel training. I think this is a big problem in our nation's long-term development. Today, the party and the country attaches great importance to technological innovation, investment and a lot of money doing what "innovation project", "innovative programs", and so on, it is necessary. But I think it is more important to have the creative talent. The problem is that China, there is not a model of the University in accordance with the culture of science and technology innovation talent go to school, is conform, and generalize, do not have their own unique creative things, under the influence of feudal ideas has always been this way. I can see, this is a big problem in China. I recently read the reference messages, see above about United States California Institute, reminds me of me in the United States, California Institute of education. I am in the 30 's of the last century to the United States, beginning at the Massachusetts Institute of learning. MIT is also very famous at the time, but I don't feel anything, took a master's degree a year, is also top-notch. In fact, this year did not learn what innovative things, is very general. Then I go to the California Institute of technology, will feel it at once and MIT are very different, innovative atmosphere pervades the campus as a whole, it can be said that a spirit for the entire school is innovation. In this case, you must think of something someone else didn't think, that others do not have said in the past. Many top-notch talent, I had to race with them, to run in the forefront. Innovation is not here is General, small step can not, you will soon be over. You might think, do, to a large row higher than the others. Very strong academic atmosphere, Symposium is quite lively and inspire each other, mutual promotion. We now DAO Hao, Symposium on technology and privacy to each other, mutual blockade, this is not a scientific style of development. You really have the ability, not afraid of others catch up. I remember at a symposium, von Karman said my teacher had a very good academic thought that Americans call "goodidea", which is very important in scientific work. There is no innovation, first of all depends on you if there is a "good idea". So as soon as someone said, "Professor Carmen, you speak so well thought out, not afraid of others more than you?," Kamen said: "I am not afraid, he caught up with this idea, I ran to the front of the way to go. "So I went to the California Institute of technology, suddenly started opening her mind, I've never thought of, was talking about here, tells the contents of the forefront of scientific development, make me an eye-opener. I did graduate students of the Department of Aeronautics, my teachers encouraged me to learn a variety of useful knowledge. I went to the Department of Physics Lecture, tells of the frontiers of physics, theory of atoms, atomic nuclei, nuclear technology, even the atomic bomb is mentioned. Department of biology have the broad authority of Morgan, about genetics, our Chinese geneticists Tan Jiazhen is Morgan's students. Department of chemistry, of course I also went to listen to, Director of the Department of chemistry, l �� Pauling stresses in structural chemistry, chemistry frontier. His work on structural chemistry Nobel Prize in chemistry. We previously Professor Lu, President of the Academy of Sciences in the Department of chemistry, California Institute of continuing education. L �� Pauling for my graduate students of the Department of Aeronautics to listen to his lectures, participate in Department of chemistry Colloquium, is not at all exclusive. His teenage years older than me, and we became good friends. He later thought was taking large doses of vitamin of bio-medical sector generally opposed, but he still sticks to the point, and even the entire debate not only in the medical field. He every day taking large doses of vitamins, lived 93 years. California Institute of technology, there are many of these masters and the Kooks, no crowd, daring to want others dare not think, do what others can't do. We all say things, in his view, there is nothing. Without this spirit, get creative! Caltech to these scholars, professors, but also to the younger students, graduate students provide ample academic authority and democratic atmosphere. Different schools, different positions can be fully released. Students can fully express their different academic insights, challenges to the authority. Caltech in the past I've been told I when you graduate and some authority debate, in fact, this Institute is a very common thing in California. At that time, those of us engaged in applied mechanics, is to use math to solve complex engineering problems. People call us applied mathematicians. Department of mathematics, but of those who engage in pure mathematics happened to look down on those of us engaged in engineering mathematics. Two schools are often in debates. In one case, Department of mathematics, rightWei has put up a poster in the school Bulletin Board, said that he said at the time where theoretical mathematics, welcomes you to the lecture. My teacher von Karman, immediately put up a poster, where he said at the same time speaking of engineering mathematics, also welcome you to listen to. Results both lectures were very popular. This is the academic atmosphere of Caltech, democracy and active. Those of us young people studying here is really great lessons, an eye-opening experience. Today we can do what a university like that? you are polite, active academic discussion up. How can this training creative talents? let alone a world-class talent. What's interesting is, California Institute of technology also encourages the arts literacy for students of science and engineering. Our rockets team leader f. j. Malina is research rocket, painting, and he later became the West an abstract painter. I heard I knew the teacher von Karman painting, music, photography, these aspects of learning, were also United States absorbed as member of the Institute of Arts and Sciences, he was pleased, saying that you have these talents are important, you're better than me in this regard. Because he was a young boy not me such good conditions. My father Qian Junfu very good modern education, he not only helps me learn science, go technology powers way; the one hand, and sent me to study music, painting, art. I've not only interested in the sciences, is interested in art, read a lot of book on art theory, like Plekhanov of the theory of art, I studied at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University study. These artistic accomplishment will not only enhance my understanding of works of art on the poetic and profound understanding of the philosophy of life, has learned the art of long-span on macro images. I think these things for the edification of a man in scientific innovation is very important. innovations depend on strong logical thinking doesn't work in science, innovative ideas are often began with images, derived from the Association of long-span enlighten, and then be validated with the strict logic. School such as Caltech, China alone will produce many famous scientists. Qian Wei-Chang 's, Tan Jiazhen, Guo yonghuai etc, are all Caltech. Guo yonghuai is great, but he died early, many people don't know him. At the California Institute of technology, he is also a student of von Karman, very excellent. We work in an Office, often to discuss things. I found that he was so smart. If you talk to him about some general questions, he was not satisfied with cross-examines deep concepts. After graduation he is a professor at Cornell University. Because another brilliant student Carmen Sears at Cornell University to establish Aviation Academy, he understood the Guo yonghuai, invited him to work there. Guo yonghuai after returning from start served as Deputy Director of the mechanics, mechanical cause of China with us. Later, I found three of pursuing nuclear weapons, said participants of Atomic and hydrogen bombs in need of a mechanical, solve complex mechanical calculation problems, start he would ask me to. I say that Central is now entrusting me with missiles, many things, I have no energy to participate in the nuclear-weapon thing. But I can recommend someone, Guo yonghuai. Guo yonghuai later as Vice President, specializing in explosive areas such as mechanical computing problems. Atomic and hydrogen bombs he is standing on the issue in our country did a, but travel in a plane crash in sacrifice. At that time, this is a creative group of people in China of Atomic and hydrogen bombs, missiles, satellites, launch. Today we are running, there must be spirit of California Institute of technology and innovation, cultivating ideas, extraordinary creative talent. My home for so many years, there has been no such schools, are in General, anybody else said that, never said he will not dare to say that such training is not the top of a born Commander. Our country should solve this problem. you are the real innovations, it is daring to study other people not looked into the frontiers of science, rather than what others have already said, we know that, did not say anything, we don't know. what is outstanding students with innovative. Without innovation, rote, exam results, however good or excellent students. This is how I was accepted by the California Institute of education, this is what I feel most deeply. After the return, I feel that the State's I value, but needs more socialist construction of Qian xuesen, countries will have greater development. I said so much, just want to tell you that we have to learn from Caltech, learning of scientific innovation. We Chinese students to study in Caltech, returning later played a good role. All those who have studied the influence of the spirit of innovation, know creative can't. We do not conform, and this is not a scientific spirit, the spirit of science is the most important innovations. I have more than 90 years old this year, I think about China's long-term development, concern is this. (Yuan Gu Jihuan James Li Ming finishing) "Wang Fei's remarks: old lessons is that younger were ashamed! whether thrice blessed person to listen to you teach people how to think and what to do in the future, anyway, as a slow at the end I will forever remember their every word for Chinese education power of Ant, you are truly the Sage says" world State, State of health, to the Saint, following juexue, Jesus Christ opened Pacific ", wing for the people of our group's role model. elderly people go all the way. ��
