Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, member of the Chinese Agricultural Workers ’Democratic Party, member of the Standing Committee of the 8th and 9th National Committee of the Chinese People ’s Political Consultative Conference, 10th, 11th, and 12th members of the Central Committee of the Chinese Agricultural Workers’ Democratic Party, model worker of the national education system, winner of the People ’s Teacher Medal, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University Professor Zhang Qianer passed away peacefully at 20:33 on May 3, 2020, at the age of 93.

　　On May 4, the official website of the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Xiamen University released the above news. At present, the website has been adjusted to black and white.

　　Public information shows that Zhang Qianer was the dean of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Xiamen University. In 1991, he was elected as a member (academician) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

　　In his early years, he studied with Professor Lu Jiaxi and laid a solid foundation for structural chemistry, and participated in the research of cultivating crystals in aqueous solutions and the development of cameras for powder diffractometers. In 1963, he participated in the seminar "Physical Structure" organized by Professor Tang Aoqing in the coordination field. A breakthrough was made in theoretical research. In 1982, the work won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award. Zhang Ganer began to study in the "Cultural Revolution", the Huckel matrix graphics method completed in the 1980s has been written in the textbook of "Structure Chemistry". His research group completed the "polyhedral molecular orbital" and other studies, and won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award in 1989. In the 1990s, he led the research team to carry out tough research on the programming of price key theory calculations, and at the turn of the century, he compiled the ab initio calculation program VB-XIAMEN99, which performed better than other international programs.

　　He once wrote that the future of technological development is young. When Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, he was only 26 years old, and Shockley invented the transistor when he was in his 30s. Planck was only 40 when he established quantum theory. The peak of scientists' innovations were between 30 and 40 years old. Young people are less burdened, dare to think and dare to work, and therefore have more innovative vitality and potential. As long as they work hard, be willing to be lonely, and concentrate on learning, they will surely achieve something in the new century. There is no shortcut to scientific research.

　　"Being not confined to tradition and being brave to challenge reality and life is a condition that a scientist should have. In fact, it is this attitude towards life that will also bring you the joy of life. I often think of being a teacher , I can be different from many people, I can do a lot of things I want to do, say what I want to say, this is the greatest value of a person alive. "Zhang Ganer said.

　　After the death of Zhang Qianer, there were 15 academicians in the two academies lost in the Republic this year.

　　In January this year, Jiang Hongde, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a well-known expert in impeller machinery and power engineering in China, Chi Zhiqiang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a famous neuropharmacologist, Fang Shouxian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a famous accelerator physicist, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a famous physicist Four people died.

　　In February, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, famous ecologist Sun Ruyong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, mechanical manufacturing and automation expert Duan Zhengcheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, famous pharmacist Zhou Tonghui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, famous highway engineering expert Sha Qinglin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Five famous agricultural engineering scientist Jiang Yiyuan died.

　　In March, Ning Jinsheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, famous geodeticist, and educator, Li Daozeng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, Zhou Jun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a famous plant resource and plant chemist, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Four people died of Lu Shibi.

　　In April, Yu Mingfang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and founder of China's chemical fiber field, passed away.
