Introduction: Academician is the highest honorary title in my country's scientific research community. Scholars who have become academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are top scientists in various industries and play a vital role in promoting the development of the industry.
Since the establishment of the academician system in our country, more than 1,000 academicians of the two academies have been born. For example, revolutionary pioneers such as Qian Xuesen, Deng Jiaxian, etc. who are very familiar to everyone, as well as Yuan Longping, Zhong Nanshan, etc. who are very familiar to everyone now, are all elected academicians of the two academies.
These academicians have conducted in-depth research in all walks of life in our country. They play an important role in promoting the development of national defense and the advancement of social science and technology, so they are respected by all walks of life.
my country’s two academicians are mainly located in universities and scientific research institutes across the country. In addition to completing academic research, they also lead scientific research teams to train more graduate students, and even give lectures to undergraduates, making their own contributions to the inheritance of academics.
Only scholars with outstanding scientific research achievements may eventually be elected as academicians. Therefore, the overall age of academicians of the two academies of my country is relatively older. The newly elected academicians of the two academies are basically over 55 years old. Only some talented academicians may be elected as academicians before the age of 50.
The age structure of academicians is relatively older, which means that the death of academicians will become more prominent. Many scholars are elected as academicians when they are nearly 65 years old, very close to retirement.
Sad! In 2022, 54 academicians of our country have passed away
Recently, news of the death of many university scholars has been heard from various places, especially the many obituaries published on the official website of Tsinghua University and Peking University, which have become the focus of media discussion. It is a pity that many academicians have not survived this special winter.
According to preliminary statistics from Ruanke, 54 academicians of the two academies have passed away in my country in 2022, and 15 academicians have passed away in my country in December alone. In the past two days, more than two academicians from prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University have passed away.
Judging from the geographical distribution structure, these deceased academicians are mainly concentrated in areas such as Beijing and Shanghai. Beijing occupies an absolute number, which is also a phenomenon worthy of attention.
Judging from the age structure distribution, more than 70% of the deceased academicians have reached 90 years old, and some academicians are even 101 years old. The death of these academicians can also be said to be a normal phenomenon in society.
Of course, some young academicians also died suddenly and unexpectedly, which is also very sad. For example, Jiang Hualiang, a famous pharmacologist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was only 57 years old, making him the youngest academician to die this year.
Judging from the average age of academicians in our country, if an academician is not over 70 years old, he will die early, which is a major loss for the entire scientific research community.
Among the more than 50 academicians who passed away this year, a large number of academicians can be said to have been the heroes of the two bombs, and they once concealed their names for the country's national defense cause. After retirement, he still chooses to use his spare energy in colleges and universities. Scientists in the older generation have always had a spirit of dedication, which is what people admire the most.
Winter is a very difficult season for the elderly, so the probability of death for the elderly in winter is higher than in previous seasons. Even academicians with better medical conditions find it difficult for their bodies to withstand such cold weather. Moreover, due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, medical resources have become more stretched, and it may be more difficult to receive treatment.
Judging from the current situation, only a few old academicians died due to symptoms after being infected with the new coronavirus. Most of the old academicians died normally, so we do not need to over-interpret the death phenomenon of old academicians.
Of course, if young academicians die frequently at this point in time, the country needs to pay attention.In fact, in addition to these top academicians, you will find that many young medical scholars have died frequently recently. This phenomenon also needs to attract social attention.
For example, Sun Yat-sen University three young medical scholars died unexpectedly recently, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine another doctoral supervisor died unexpectedly, and he was only 48 years old . These overworked medical scholars are the ones we should be concerned about.
We all hope that these academicians who have made contributions to the country can go well all the way. I also hope that our current young scholars, especially those working in medical schools, will take good care of their bodies during this special time.
