Spirit of Beijing Academy of Military Medical Sciences

Generation after generation of scientific and technological workers in the Academy of Military Medical Sciences have made silent contributions. While achieving more than 2,000 scientific research achievements, they also created the "grand prize spirit" with the connotation of "loving the party and patriotism, hard dedication, seeking truth from facts and innovation, and unity and cooperation".

(1) "Chua's District" named by the international medical community.

In the early 1920s, Cai Qiao, a Chinese doctor studying in the United States, discovered the anterior parietal nucleus, which is the central part of visual angle and eye movement function, while studying the neuroanatomy of American kangaroo brain. International medicine named this part "Chua's District". This is the name of China's surname in the limited organism in the 20th century, and it is also a symbol of human wisdom.

Cai Qiao didn't stay in America. He stepped on the waves of the Pacific Ocean and returned to his motherland. After the founding of New China, he gloriously joined the army, and later became the vice president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, becoming the "head coach" of military medical research in China.

(2) The only "academician couple" in the whole army.

1 949 65438+1October1,the rumbling salute of Tiananmen Square deeply shocked the hearts of a pair of overseas travelers on the other side of the ocean. Dr. Zhou Tingchong and Master Huang Cuifen, who lived in the United States, immediately applied to the US Immigration Service for returning to China after receiving a personal invitation letter from Gong Naiquan, who later became the first president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences. However, this just demand is unreasonably difficult, and the United States shows a daunting number of scholarship income tax claims.

1950 On a chilly spring morning in March, Zhou Tingchong and Huang Cuifen came to a cargo terminal on the west coast of the United States. Resolutely boarded a cargo ship without an immigrant visa and began a long voyage. When they drifted in the vast Pacific Ocean for 56 days, walked out of the deck and set foot on the sunny hometown land, the overseas wanderers who returned to the embrace of the motherland could not help but burst into tears.

"We have not shed blood in liberating the motherland, and we should do more in building the motherland." With such initial intention, Zhou Tingchong and Huang Cuifen worked hard in the garden of military medicine in New China, and watered out wonderful scientific research flowers with painstaking efforts and sweat. Zhou Tingchong and Huang Cuifen were successively awarded academicians of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering, becoming the only "academician couple" in the whole army who enjoyed the highest academic title in China.

(three) take the initiative to return the "academician application form".

In the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, there was an old professor named Song. As early as the 1940s, Song Lao was a professor at Shanghai Zhendan University, the predecessor of Fudan University, and was famous all over the country for his discovery of specific drugs for filariasis. Later, he obeyed the organizational arrangement and engaged in the research of chemical defense medicine. After 20 years of exploration, he led the research group to successfully develop anti-chemical drugs with the international advanced level at that time.

In view of Song Lao's outstanding contribution, the organization recommended him as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, when the application form for academician was sent to him, he thought and thought about the thick research results in the safe, so he could not write. Because his research topic is the core secret of military medicine. For the benefit of the country and the army, he voluntarily returned the application form and gave up the honor that should have belonged to him.

When someone asked Song, who had retired to the second line, "Are you willing to be buried forever?" At that time, Song Lao calmly replied: "Does a person have to be recognized by the society when he has done his work?" Farmers don't write their names on the rice they grow. All the coal used by everyone was burned, and I don't know which miner dug it. I really appreciate Einstein's words:' Don't try to be a success, but become a valuable person'. "

In the military medical research team, there are a large number of unsung heroes, Song Like Hong Qiang, who have lost their personal fame in the great cause of national defense scientific research.

(4) a new generation.

Wang Haitao, a 43-year-old researcher, went to the United States to do postdoctoral research in May 1989, and was later hired as a visiting professor by the University of Kentucky. During his stay in the United States, his work on AIDS research 10 was at the forefront of the subject. Among them, he used high technology to obtain an antibody, which has become the only unique antibody found in the whole field of immunology that can react with a high proportion of population-specific antibodies. He also put forward the hypothesis of "dominant cloning" which is of great significance to AIDS vaccine research for the first time, and obtained an American patent. With this patent alone, Wang Haitao can live a comfortable life in the United States. However, he refused the high-paying employment from the United States and returned to the motherland with his wife.

Accompanied by He Fuchu, Fan Ming, Liu Keliang, Gao and Pei. This is another generation.

From Cai Qiao, to Professor Zhou Tingchong and Professor Huang Cuifen, and then to Wang Haitao and He Fuchu, it embodies the "grand prize spirit" of several generations of military medical scientific workers, such as "loving the party and patriotism, hard dedication, seeking truth from facts and innovation, unity and cooperation".
