On the afternoon of December 28, the school held a meeting in the water lecture hall"The People's Mathematician" micro-filmPremiere. Shu Gequn, Secretary of the Party Committee of the school, and Liu Jing, Director of the Anhui Branch and Secretary of the Party Group of Xinhua News Agency, attended the ceremony and delivered speeches. Wang Lei, member of the party group of Xinhua News Agency Anhui Branch, Xu Jinping, general manager of Xinhuanet Anhui Branch, the main creative team of micro films, school leaders, representatives of grassroots party organizations, teachers and students attended the ceremony. Deng Jiansong, deputy secretary of the party committee and director of the propaganda department of the party committee, presided over the ceremony.
In his speech, Shu Gequn said that Mr. Hua Luogeng is a famous mathematician and educator in China, and is known as the "father of modern mathematics in China". He has always practiced the original intention of "serving the people not for the individual", and applied mathematical research to the field of national economy and socialist construction, and was praised as a "people's mathematician". At the same time, Mr. Hua Luogeng is also one of the founding fathers of USTC, and presided over the establishment of the first "Department of Applied Mathematics and Computing Technology" in New China, making USTC the first new university in China to have a computer major. As the first dean and vice president of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computational Technology, Mr. Hua Luogeng has been working in the front line of teaching and scientific research for a long time, and has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents in the field of mathematics in China. The premiere ceremony of the micro-film "The People's Mathematician" was held to commemorate Mr. Hua Luogeng's life of struggle for the national scientific and educational causes, to commemorate his outstanding contributions to the establishment of USTC and the promotion of the development of the university, and to remember the scientist spirit and noble character he carried forward with his lifelong action of serving the country.
Shu Gequn emphasized that on the occasion of the 13th Party Congress of the university, USTC will be guided by the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the general secretary's series of important instructions on USTC, unite and lead the teachers and students to focus on the two core tasks of "concentrating on establishing morality and cultivating people, persistently tackling key problems and innovating", and further inherit and carry forward the spirit of Kang Da, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite" and the spirit of the older generation of scientists, and strive to open up and build Chinese characteristics. A new paradigm for a world-class university in the style of HKUST.
In her speech, Liu Jing said that this year marks the 65th anniversary of the founding of USTC. Over the past 65 years, USTC has always adhered to the school motto of "advancing with red specialties and blending theory and practice", has been brave in innovation and striving for first-class, has achieved a series of world-renowned scientific research achievements, and cultivated a group of masters who stand up to the sky. Over the past 65 years, USTC has catalyzed changes with innovation, and has made important contributions to the construction of major platforms, the development of emerging industries, and the supply of high-end talents. USTC has become a world-renowned "golden signboard" with the great sentiment of serving the motherland and promoting national self-reliance and self-reliance.
Liu Jing said that the planning of the "Spirit of Scientists" series of micro-films is to vigorously promote the patriotic spirit, innovative spirit, truth-seeking spirit, and dedication of scientists with the help of modern means of expression and expression, so that these precious spirits will not stop singing and passing on the torch. In the future, Xinhua News Agency will continue to work hand in hand with USTC to contribute to the construction of Anhui's "seven strong provinces" and play a leading role in Chinese-style modernization.
Xie Shenggang, a retired professor of the School of Mathematical Sciences, said that in his impression, Hua Lao was always strict with his juniors and enthusiastic to help, and tried his best to support him, and his lectures were clear and easy to understand without losing humor. Hua Lao often told them that "intelligence comes from learning, genius comes from accumulation", "reading should be from thin to thick, and then from thick to thin", encouraged them to "dare to take the axe in front of the class, dare to play a big knife in front of the public, do not be superstitious about authority", and warned them to "never leave the mouth, never leave the fist". Xie Shenggang hoped that the vast number of young scientific and technological workers could learn from Hua Lao's ardent patriotic feelings and rigorous academic spirit, jointly shoulder the heavy responsibility of strengthening the country with science and technology, and strive to realize Chinese-style modernization.
In 2009, USTC and the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences signed a contract to jointly build the Hua Luogeng Mathematical Science and Technology Talent Class, which is also the first science and technology talent class project built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. For more than 10 years, with the ultimate goal of cultivating elite talents in mathematics, they have designed a complete set of Hua Luogeng class training system and honor course system, cultivated a group of outstanding talents, and achieved excellent results in the Yau Chengtong Mathematics Competition and the National College Student Mathematics Competition, and more than 99% of the graduates have entered famous universities at home and abroad.
Zhu Gexuan, a student of Hua Luogeng's Mathematical Science and Technology Talent Class of the School of Mathematical Sciences, said that in the hearts of the students of the University of Science and Technology, Hua Lao is the belief in Chinese mathematics. This is not only because of his extensive research and outstanding achievements, but also because of his outstanding contributions to the Chinese people. After Hua Lao, generations of students who love mathematics have taken over this torch and used it to inject new impetus into the construction of the country. This is a very meaningful and extremely happy thing, and Zhu Gexuan firmly believes that more people will devote themselves to this noble cause.
At the scene, "The People's Mathematician" premiered. The film tells the glorious deeds of Mr. Hua Luogeng, and shows the people's feelings of the older generation of scientists of China University of Science and Technology represented by Hua Luogeng and others.
Since 2019, USTC has cooperated with Xinhuanet and Xinhua News Agency Anhui Branch to shoot a series of micro-films of "The Spirit of Older Generation Scientists", and has successively launched 5 works, including "Forever Cherishing the Original Heart", "The Moon is the Hometown Ming", "The Light of Science", "The Eternal East Wind" and "The Spring of Science". It is worth mentioning that these 5 micro-films have been screened in public welfare venues across the country. "The People's Mathematician", which premiered today, is the sixth in a series of micro-films.
This micro-film premiere is the 23rd centralized learning (on-site teaching) of the theoretical learning center group of the school party committee in 2023.
