Qian Weichang is the father of modern Chinese mechanics, a world-famous scientist, educator, outstanding social activist, and an outstanding leader of the China Democratic League. Academician Qian Weichang is also a director of applied mathematics, physics, and Chinese informatics, and has published a lot of books—especially in the fields of elastic mechanics, variational principle, perturbation methods, etc. The creator of the world's singular perturbation theory formulated the first 12-year scientific plan for New China and published China's first monograph on "Elastic Mechanics".

Ba Jin (1904 11 25—, formerly known as Li Yaotang, the word Fu Gan. From 1927 to 1928, he studied in France and began to write literature, and in 1929, "Perdition" was published and caused a sensation, which officially set him on the road of literary creation. After 1949, he successively served as a member of the Standing Committee and Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association, and Chairman of the Shanghai Branch of the Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Writers Association.

His works have undergone several changes, such as the long ** "Love Trilogy" "Fog", "Rain" and "Electricity" published in the 30s of the last century, and the "Torrent Trilogy" "Home", "Spring" and "Autumn", which poured out his hatred for the unreasonable society and the persistent pursuit of the ideal society with intense emotional eruptions. Later, he had a deeper understanding of reality, began to pay attention to the survival tragedy of the little people, and published works with more feelings and deeper thoughts such as "Ci Yuan" and "Cold Night", which were more respected by the later research community.

After the Cultural Revolution, Caprice, which tortured himself and the soul of modern Chinese intellectuals, won the National Honorary Award for Outstanding Prose (Collection) and Essay (Collection) in 1989. In 1982, he was awarded the "Dante International Prize" in Italy. In 1983, he was awarded the "Legion of Honor" by France.

In 1990, he was awarded the Order of People's Friendship of the Soviet Union and the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize Special Prize of Japan.

In the 70s of the 20th century, he founded the professional group of rational mechanics and mathematical methods in mechanics of the Chinese Society of Mechanics. In 1980, he founded the earliest academic journal "Applied Mathematics and Mechanics" in China, which promoted the international academic exchange of mechanics research results. It has made important contributions to the cause of mechanics in China and the development of the Chinese Mechanics Society.

His scientific division of labor is very careful, and he does any work. (Qian Xuesen's comment).

Mr. Qian has made great contributions to mechanics, he is one of the founders of mechanics, he is very concerned about the younger generations, he is very concerned about the education of China, as the president of Shanghai University, he is very concerned about the development of education. He attached great importance to basic science. (Gu Chaohao's comment).

Mr. Qian Wei is a very good educator, and although he is so old, he is still dedicated to exploring higher education in China. Shanghai University is also a model of China's higher education model. (Rao Zi and comment).

In terms of being a person, he set a very good example for his younger generations with his humble attitude. (Wu Shuqing's comment).

From righteousness to physics, from solid to fluid, alternating between good and bad, unbothered, honors and disgraces, old and strong, this is the perfect mechanics of his life! No name, no profit, no regrets, affection, righteousness, and the motherland. (2010 Moving China Award Speech).

Qian Weichang (male, Han nationality, native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, member of the Democratic League, graduated from the Department of Applied Mathematics of the University of Toronto, Canada, Ph.D., researcher, professor, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a young man, Qian Weichang studied in the Department of Physics and the Graduate School of Tsinghua University from 1 9 3 1 to 3 7, and joined the "Vanguard of the Liberation of the Chinese Nation" in 1 9 3 6. From 1940 to 42, he studied at the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Greater Toronto, where he received his Ph.D. degree.

Member of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Vice Chairman of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Deputy to the 1st and 4th National People's Congress. He passed away in Shanghai on the morning of July 30, 2010.

Qian Weichang, born on October 9, 1912, is a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, a famous mechanist, applied mathematician, educator and social activist; He is one of the founders of modern mechanics and applied mathematics in China. He also specializes in applied mathematics, physics, and Chinese informatics, and has published extensively. In particular, he has made important achievements in the fields of elastic mechanics, variational principle, perturbation method, etc.

He has successively served as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the president of Shanghai University, the honorary president of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the honorary president of Yew Wah Middle School. Vice Chairman of the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth National Committees of the Chinese National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman and Honorary Chairman of the Democratic League. He passed away at 6 a.m. on July 30, 2010 in Shanghai at the age of 98. Together with Qian Xuesen and Qian Sanqiang, it is called "three money", so far, China's "three money" has all perished.

On September 2, 1939, when 22 students from the seventh batch of Sino-British students arrived in Hong Kong, the Second World War unfortunately broke out. He used differential geometry expressed by Gaussian coordinate tensors to represent the innovative idea of deformation and stress analysis, and proposed a new unified intrinsic theory.

Arriving at the University of Toronto in Canada in mid-September 1940, Qian Weichang had the first interview with his mentor, Professor Xin Ji, and found that both of them were studying the plate and shell theory. Singh argues that although the quantities and symbols used in the two theories are different, their essence is the same. Professor Singh proposed to combine the two theories, and Qian Weichang wrote an article "The Intrinsic Theory of Elastic Plate and Shell", which was published in Professor von Kármán's birthday collection.

Einstein looked at it and said, "This young Chinese man has solved a problem that has plagued me for many years. ”
