Academician Zhu Guangya's 100th anniversary of birth marked
Experts and officials from the Chinese Academy of Engineering proposed on Wednesday to inherit the outstanding tradition established by pioneer Zhu Guangya, who was highly knowledgeable and of exemplary conduct among the older generation of scientists.
Li Xiaohong, secretary of the Party Committee and president of the CAE said that Zhu's academic foundation, practical experience, and personal character have laid the foundation for the CAE to vigorously promote various aspects of China's engineering science and technology development over the past 30 years.
It marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Academician Zhu. Zhu was one of the main pioneers of China's nuclear science industry, a recipient of the medal for "Two Bombs, One Satellite," and also the first president of the CAE.
"We commemorate Zhu to learn from his loyalty to the Party and his dedication to the motherland," he said.
Li said that CAE must learn from his rigorous pursuit of truth and his scientific spirit of scaling new heights, engaging in the main battlefield of scientific and technological innovation, grasping the strategic opportunities of the new round of technological revolution, industrial transformation and accelerating breakthroughs in key core technologies.
