A geographer is a scientist who is trained in geography and whose purpose is to study the various natural and human phenomena in the geographical environment of the earth's surface and the relationship between them. Western geographers divide geography into two parts: physical geography and human geography, or three parts: physical geography, economic geography and human geography, and then divide it into sub-disciplines.

The 100 years of the 20th century were the 100 years of the transformation of Chinese geography from common sense to science. It is the 100 years that Chinese geography has changed from superficial description to deep understanding; It is also a 100 years when Chinese geography has been more integrated into national construction and economic development. The 20th century is the century of the rapid development of China's geographical science, in order to show the people and things in the development of China's geographical science.

Since 1985, the former Department of Geographical Knowledge has opened up a column of "Interviews with Contemporary Chinese Geographers" to interview and record the way of learning and the career of the older generation of geographers in China, and at the same time invite them to express their personal views on the future of geography, which is the unanimous high hope of the geographical community and a grand event in the history of national geography.

In view of the fact that "Geographical Knowledge" is a popular science magazine, which has the characteristics of large circulation and strong popularity, the text of the interview is also characterized by vividness, interest, and informal form, mainly talking about the life experiences of some geographers, plus the social background and personal experiences involved.
