Pursuing excellence throughout his life, he encouraged young people to "find their own fire"

"Without hesitation and unrealistic pride", an excellent scientist ended his exploration of the micro -world.

Famous nuclear physicist and educator, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (academician), academician of the International Academy of Sciences of Eurasia, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences, former president of Fudan University, Yang Fujia, president of Ningbo University University, was in Shanghai on July 17th due to illness. He died at the age of 86.

Shanghai, who has just entered, is still sultry, but the world's nostalgia for him is endless.

"Pursuit of excellence" is his belief in his life. He stood at the forefront of physics and achieved significant results in atomic nuclear spectrology, nuclear decay analysis, and ion beam research. He created the field of domestic ion beam analysis research and made outstanding contributions to my country's application physics research.

He is the "firefire" of advanced education concepts. He has successively served as a well -known and foreign university president for many years and has made outstanding contributions to my country's higher education and international exchanges. During the president of Fudan University, he attached great importance to education and teaching, and launched a plan for "Famous Professor to take basic courses". He attached importance to young people and proposed "creating more opportunities for young people." Promote the founding of Ningbo Nottingham University and served as the first president. He continued to practice the educational concept of educational education from Fudan. In his eyes, each student was "the fire to be ignited". He actively advocates a variety of evaluation systems, encouraging research universities, general universities, vocational universities and other types of colleges and universities to develop coordinated development of colleges and universities, and promote international exchanges between Chinese and foreign education.

"Learn to ask questions, not learn to answer questions"

Yang Fu's family, ancestral native Zhejiang Zhenhai, Zhejiang, was born in Shanghai in 1936. In 1954, he graduated from Shanghai Gezhi Middle School and was admitted to the Department of Physics of Fudan University with excellent grades. Since then, he has been puzzled with Fudan University and the physics discipline.

In the admission of Fudan, Yang Fujia listened to the teachings of professors such as Wang Fushan and Zhou Tongqing, and also realized the tradition of Lao Fudan -the lifelong teaching of the basic class of famous teachers. In the first year of junior year, the atomic nuclear theoretical course set up by the first -level professor Lu Hezheng allowed Yang Fu's family to appreciate the gorgeous "physical beauty", and since then in the field of atomic nuclear physics.

In 1963, Yang Fu's family was selected to the Danish Bohr Institute to work as a visiting scholar to engage in research on nuclear reaction spectrum. For two years in the world's first -class laboratory, Yang Fujia, who is thinking about his country, looks forward to his "steelmaking stove", that is, a laboratory with an international standard in his land.

In 1978, Yang Fu's family was appointed as the director of the Department of Atomic Nuclear Sciences of Fudan University and was promoted to associate professors. In Fudan and China, the first -class laboratory- "atomic and nuclear physical laboratory based on accelerators", at the same time Cultivated the first batch of doctoral physics in the country. In 1980, Yang Fu's family was promoted to a professor. In 1981, he became the first doctoral supervisor in Fudan University, and then served as the president of the Graduate School.

"Oshi, think about it, and think about it." Yang Fu's family appreciates the second word in each sentence of Fudan's school motto. He believes that "learning and learning is to learn questions, not learning questions. You must ask questions if you want to improve. You must not create questions if there is no problem. Teachers must also encourage students to ask questions."

As a teacher, he is good at discovering students' flash points. "If you want to find your own fire, you will take off when you ignite." He said to the students that finding accurate advantages and specialties are more important than one -sided focusing on scores. Everyone's characteristics are different. Once you find your own fire and characteristics, you can take off. "

In a office of the Fudan Institute of Modern Physics, Yang Fu's family always worked with dim lighting cases and did not feel the flow of age. This scene that impressed many students and colleagues was because of the poor body of Yang Fu's family last summer and no longer came to this office, and there was a memory in memory.

"Create more opportunities for young people"

In February 1993, Yang Fujia became the president of Fudan University in New China. Yang Fu's family unforgettable in 1960 school "one -family personality" and appointed 24 -year -old as an atomic energy deputy director. After taking office, his first move was: "Create more opportunities for young people!"

Soon, Fudan appeared in the early 20s of professors, the dean of the secondary college in his early 30s and in his early 40s, and the director and deputy director of the National Key Laboratory. The average age of teachers and cadres of Fudan University was the youngest university at that time, and the campus showed a vibrant appearance.

In the memories of Jin Xiaofeng, a professor at the Department of Physics at Fudan University, the concept of "giving young people and caring for the Fudan" proposed by Yang Fu's family gave the opportunity to emerge at the same time as him at that time. At that time, Fudan opened a special channel for the development of young teachers, and at the same time, the older generation of teachers were given care protection.

In work, teaching, scientific research, and service are emphasizing the style advocated by Yang Fu's family, and it is also the idea of ​​his own practice. He asked the professor to take lessons for undergraduates and launch a plan for "Famous Professor's Basic Course". "First of all, how to be a person for teaching students" and other measures have also been introduced. The classroom of Yang Fujia himself was also popular with students. The textbook "Atomic Physics" was officially published in 1985. It has been revised 5 editions. It is still the only "standard" in the relevant professional textbooks in China.

After leaving the President of Fudan, Yang Fu's family, who was already in his 60s, still received an invitation and insisted on starting the lessons every week and taught an atomic physics course for an undergraduate student.

During the president of Yang Fu's family, Fudan University made a change in undergraduate teaching. From the perspective of Xu Lei, the vice president of Fudan University, this series of measures was "shocked by stone" in the 1990s. In 1998, Fudan University participated in the "Political Scholars" program set up by Mr. Li Zhengdao and began the scientific research plan of undergraduates. This is the first domestic scientific research plan in the undergraduate students with "a mentor with a student". The purpose is not to allow undergraduates to enter the graduate learning stage in advance, but to let students understand the way of thinking about scientific research and how to ask about scientific research and solve problems. On the basis of the "Political Science Scholar" program, Fudan University has developed projects such as "Wangdao" and "Xi Yuan" for undergraduate participation, and then improved the "FDUROP) system for" Fudan University's Academic Research Funding Program "(FDUROP) system. Based on scientific research and take into account applications. In 2007, the Ministry of Education established a national college student innovation and entrepreneurial plan for all universities. This step in Fudan has been walking early for nearly ten years.

In April 2014, the old president of Yang Fujia brought a group of Fudan's "Political Scholars" to Columbia University to visit Professor Li Zhengdao. Mr. Li had not received the guests for a long time because of his physical reasons. He talked with his classmates for three hours that day. Recalling the scene of the day, Xu Lei said with emotion: "President Yang used his keen vision and educational concept to promote Fudan to become the first university to implement the academic plan of undergraduate students."

As a scholar who has studied in Denmark and has a large number of academic exchanges with Europe and the United States, Yang Fujia has a prominent international perspective. He actively promoted the construction of think tanks, promoted the establishment of the Fudan Development Research Institute and served as the dean. He paid great attention to the contact work with his alumni, and took the initiative to invite outstanding alumni of various hospitals to return to his alma mater to give lectures to young teachers and students.

"Students' minds are not containers that are in full swing, but the fire species to be ignited."

Since 1996, Yang Fujia has been an executive director of the President of the World University. In 2001, Yang Fu's house, who stepped down from Fudan University for two years, officially served as the president of the University of Nottingham in the UK, and became the first Chinese to serve as a well -known university president in the UK.

In 2004, Ningbo University University started, and Yang Fu's family, who was nearly seventy years old, became the first principal. This first case of China and foreign cooperative universities in China is indispensable for the planning and promotion of Yang Fu's family.

On July 10, 2021, Yang Fujia, who had felt uncomfortable, insisted on presiding over the graduation ceremony of the University of Ningbo's University of Nottingham, which was the last time he spoke at the University of Ningbo's University of Nottingham. 85岁高龄的他冀望学生：“首先，你要相信自己，这个学校给予你们的知识是足够你们去做各种各样的工作。其次，不论去工作也好，或去深造也好，只要你们Working hard will definitely succeed. Finally, do anything, remember the four words, "pursue excellence '."

For many years of the president of well -known and foreign universities at home, Yang Fujia has deep insights on the development of higher education in China and talent training. He advocates the concept of Bo Ya education, and has actively made suggestions and texts on various occasions to promote China's higher education reform. He once said: "I have been fortunate to be the president of the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom for 12 years. I visited countless world universities and gradually understood what is Boya education. Naturally, I am also thinking about whether this excellent teaching system can be transplanted to China."

Ningbo University University was "born", inseparable from the background of reform and opening up and internationalization of education, and was inseparable from the personal efforts of Yang Fu's family. "I am from Shanghai Ningbo, and I have a certain relationship with Ningbo. Promoting the founding of Ningnuo is also to reward my hometown!" Yang Fu's family said.

Xu Yafen, chairman of Ningbo University University, recalled that before the school was founded, China had just joined the World Trade Organization and urgently needed talents with an international perspective. In order to introduce the "authentic" British education concept to China, the Yang Fu family played an important bridge role, and actively communicated and coordinated between the administrative department, investors and foreign parties.

"Students' minds are not containers to play knowledge, but to be ignited." Yang Fu's family shared his educational philosophy many times during his lifetime. At the University of Ningbo, he personally read and responded to the student's letter, let students go to the classroom podium, conduct group cooperation investigations, and encourage independent thinking ability. Xu Yafen introduced that there was a slogan "first -class academic creation talents" on the school reception hall. After the suggestion of Yang Fu's family, it was changed to "first -class academic achievements in first -class talents." Xu Yafen said that from the "creation" and "achievement", it is exactly the efforts of the model from the batch production graduates to providing students with a personalized growth stage. This is connected with the concept of "ignition fire".

In the eyes of Shen Wei, the vice president of the University of Nottingham Ningbo, Yang Fu's family was a vigorous and approachable scholar. He recalled that Yangfu's family, who was busy with affairs, often held work around the world. Often, a new meeting could be held as soon as possible, and the next step was clearly carried out. Whether facing managers, teachers, school workers or students, Yang Fu's family is always very kind. Yang Fujia also donated personal savings to set up a "Dream Scholarship" to inspire students who have shown excellent potential in the second class.

A week ago, Yang Fujia also told the 2022 graduate of Ningbo Nottingham University through the ceremony manual: "Classmates, now our world still faces many problems and challenges.Use your own fire to glow for this world. I sincerely hope that every Ningnuo student can ignite the fire species and realize our dreams. We together build the 'Chinese dream' of the Chinese nation together.
