In today's society, women in Maotai, tobacco employees, even the chairman of Gold Group can be selected as "Academicians", but why did Li Aizhen, who has made outstanding contributions to China Semiconductor, fail to be elected many times?

1. Academic Journey

Li Aizhen was born in Fujian in 19three6, and her parents are people with cultural and knowledge backgrounds. In this family atmosphere, parents also attach great importance to Li Aizhen's education.

But at that time, China was in the war of resistance against Japan, and Li Aizhen's parents were contributing to the liberation of the motherland. They often told Li Aizhen: "Only when China becomes strong, can it not be bullied by other countries."

Such words were deeply imprinted in her heart, and with the guidance of her parents' words and deeds, she worked even harder to learn. She has been good at thinking since childhood and is passionate about exploring the field of science, which has laid a solid foundation for her future scientific career.

In 19fivefour, Li Aizhen was admitted to the chemistry major of Fudan University in Shanghai and has been the top student in her class. At that time, there was a significant difference from today. At that time, in order to make the best use of talent and resources, the government assigned jobs to college students after graduation.

Therefore, upon graduation, Li Aizhen was assigned to Shanghai Metallurgy Institute, which is related to her own specialty, and is mainly engaged in the research of rare metal chemical metallurgy.

At first, Li Aizhen was only a research intern in the Metallurgical Institute. With her serious and responsible working attitude, she gradually became an assistant researcher, an associate researcher, and finally a formal researcher. Her promotion is due to her outstanding abilities and performance in her work.

Although the work in the Metallurgical Institute was stable, it did not keep Li Aizhen working for too long, because since the 1980s, the western countries were afraid of the rapid development of China's semiconductor industry, so they deliberately implemented decades long Molecular-beam epitaxy equipment embargo policy against China.

This western policy has seriously hindered China's scientific research, so Li Aizhen had the idea of breaking this monopoly in the future.

At that time, the scientific research conditions were extremely difficult, and there were almost no decent instruments and equipment in the laboratory. Li Aizhen was not a semiconductor professional, but also a monk halfway, so naturally she would face many difficulties.

However, she was not discouraged. She decided to consult the literature by herself, immersed herself in reading whenever she had time, and discussed with others when encountering problems that she did not understand. Under the leadership of Li Aizhen, her team made a series of breakthroughs, constantly improving the speed and technical level of domestic scientific research, but there was still a big gap compared with foreign countries.

This also made China realize that building cars behind closed doors cannot achieve breakthroughs and achieve world leading positions. Faced with this dilemma, the country wants to send a group of technical personnel to study abroad.

At that time, Li Aizhen's teacher strongly recommended her, but Li Aizhen was questioned because many people were worried that Li Aizhen would not return once she went abroad. In addition, at that time, the United States was trying to recruit talents and give them generous treatment conditions.

More importantly, Li Aizhen's parents are Filipino overseas Chinese. If she really can't withstand the temptation of the United States, she will never return.

Later, the leader of the unit came forward and tried his best to ensure that Li Aizhen would go to the United States to study.

When she came to the United States, Li Aizhen followed Professor Milnas, who was famous in the semiconductor field at that time. As a foreigner, Li Aizhen was despised, but she did not pay attention to these things because she always remembered that she was here to learn.

threeReturning to China after completing studies

Through learning and exchange with foreign countries, Li Aizhen gained valuable experience and knowledge, which promoted China's progress in the semiconductor field.

Li Aizhen once said:For me, scientific research is not just a profession. If it were just a profession, I would only be able to commute on time and earn a salary, but scientific research has become an indispensable part of my life

With her love and pursuit for the semiconductor field, Li Aizhen founded the molecular and gaseous source beam epitaxy semiconductor laboratory in Shanghai after returning home, and began to independently research and develop equipment.

At that time, the West was still blocking the export of China's Molecular-beam epitaxy equipment. In addition, the existing domestic equipment was backward in price, which made it impossible for Li Aizhen to carry out many experiments smoothly.

But fortunately, the efforts paid off. In 1989, Li Aizhen broke the technical blockade through research and developed a Molecular-beam epitaxy device.

In fact, in 1999, Li Aizhen's students and supervisors suggested her to participate in the selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. With the support of everyone, Li Aizhen submitted her application and continued to work in the research room.

In this way, it depends on your usual interpersonal relationships, but Li Aizhen is a person who "doesn't hear about human affairs accidents, but only focuses on research", so she doesn't have such deep interpersonal relationships. It is said that there was only one person who recommended her at that time, but she was not selected because she couldn't find the remaining five academicians to recommend her.

After Li Aizhen learned the news, she even looked surprised. She immediately clarified that she hoped the media would not hype it.

However, Li Aizhen did not go to the United States and did not make any contribution to the United States. But this incident has also led many people to question the selection mechanism of Chinese academicians. Why can a person who has not been selected as an academician in China for many years be elected as a foreign academician in the United States?

In fact, the selection mechanism in the United States is different from that in China. The selection of academicians in the United States is far less complex than that in China, and only one person needs to recommend them to participate in the selection. Next, when the judges vote, more than half of the votes can be elected, while in China, it is different.

So in the end, Yuan Longping was not elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but was awarded the title of "academician of the CAE Member".

Ms. Tu Youyou, who won the Nobel Prize, was also repeatedly rejected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences because she did not have a doctor's degree or a thesis.

fiveConclusion

It is undeniable that China's rapid development in the field of science and technology is indeed inseparable from the efforts of the older generation. It is precisely scientific researchers who, under difficult conditions, silently strive and invest in scientific research work without any return.

They face difficulties and challenges, unwaveringly pursuing breakthroughs and innovations in knowledge, overcoming one scientific problem after another, and once again paying tribute to all scientific researchers.
