Li Aizhen immigrated to the United States.

For scientists in China, it is undoubtedly a great honor to be named an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Many scientists have taken this as their lifelong goal, but few have really achieved it. Since 1955, there are less than 1000 scientists in China, and there are still about1000 foreign academicians.

For scientists, being awarded the title of academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences is a great affirmation of their professional level and a lifelong honor. But if you want to get this honor, the effort behind it is unimaginable for ordinary people.

In our country, some scientists are actually very strong, but so far they have not been evaluated as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even lost many elections.

The reason may be the lack of own strength, but there are also some problems in the selection mechanism in China. Some scientists even face an embarrassing situation, that is, they failed many times in domestic elections, but were elected as academicians by other countries, such as Ms. Li Aizhen, whom we are going to talk about today.

Li Aizhen has participated in the selection of academicians in China for many times. Although his research has yielded fruitful results, he failed every time. However, it is inevitable that the United States will decisively hire him as an academician.

Li Aizhen, 1936, from Shishi, Fujian. She has been fond of scientific research since she was a child, and she is always among the best in school. She was educated at Fudan University and was assigned to work in the Institute of Metallurgical Ceramics of China Academy of Sciences according to her hobbies and specialties.

Here, Li Aizhen gave full play to his abilities and talents. She has held several important positions, such as the director of semiconductor materials research office and the director of information functional materials research office.

Some terms sound very different to us, but Li Aizhen can feel at home in those fields, bringing great honor and international voice to the country. It is obvious to all that Li Aizhen participated in many key projects of Chinese Academy of Sciences and made brilliant achievements in many aspects. It not only fills the gaps in many fields in China, but also provides the necessary research foundation for other researchers.

In the research field of semiconductor materials, Li Aizhen has made remarkable achievements. You may not understand some terms, but the applications of these studies are mostly in areas closely related to us, such as environmental protection and medical care. Even in national defense, Li Aizhen's research has made a very important contribution.

It is worth mentioning that in 1980s, in order to suppress China, western countries banned the import of molecular beam epitaxy equipment to China. This restriction didn't scare our researchers. Li Aizhen led the research team to develop China's own molecular beam epitaxy equipment, which forced the western countries to retract their foreword and lift their repression of China.

Li Aizhen's move not only provided a foundation for China's research in this field, but also won great dignity and a strong right to speak internationally.

In addition, Li Aizhen led his team and made many outstanding contributions. For example, in the field of band semiconductor quantum cascade lasers, China started late, at least 20 years later than the United States, and its scientific research equipment is not as advanced as the United States.

But when the country handed this research to Li Aizhen, she just overcame many difficulties and pushed China to one of the few leaders in this field in the world. I don't know how many times Li Aizhen won glory for our country, but Li Aizhen failed many times in the selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Although Li Aizhen has won many national awards and honors, as a scientist, her biggest dream is to become an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, the top scientist applied four times, but was rejected four times, and she was brushed off the first batch every time, which is incomprehensible.

This is not to say that Li Aizhen is incompetent, because she was decisively elected as a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences by the United States, which is also a kind of recognition and affirmation. But compared with it, Li Aizhen certainly wants to be recognized by its own country. On the other hand, the talent mechanism in our country may need to be reformed in order to better retain talents.
