China News Service, Shanghai, July 18 (Reporter Chen Jing) Fudan University confirmed to reporters on the 18th that Yang Fujia, a professor of Fudan University and former president of Fudan University, passed away unfortunately in Shanghai due to illness at the age of 86.

　　It is reported that Yang Fujia, a native of Zhenhai, Zhejiang, was born in Shanghai in 1936. He is an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China, a famous nuclear physicist and educator, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (academician), an academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, an academician of the Academy of Sciences for Developing Countries, and a member of the Central Senior librarian of the Institute of Literature and History, member of the 9th and 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice-chairman of the 6th and 7th China Association for Science and Technology, and former chairman of Shanghai Association for Science and Technology.

　　Fudan University said that Yang Fujia has made outstanding contributions to the research of applied physics in China, and made outstanding contributions to higher education and international exchanges of education.

He promotes international exchanges in education between China and foreign countries. He is the first Chinese president of the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, and promotes the establishment of the University of Nottingham Ningbo. He actively promotes the construction of think tanks, and advocates and establishes the Fudan Development Research Institute.

He was a member of the National Education Advisory Committee, a member of the National Education Examination Steering Committee, the founding chairman of the China University Presidents Association, and an executive director of the International Association of University Presidents.

　　Fudan University told reporters that Yang Fujia has made outstanding contributions to the research of applied physics in China, and has made significant achievements in nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear decay analysis, ion beam research, etc., and has created the domestic ion beam analysis research field.

Yang Fujia has made outstanding contributions to higher education and international exchanges of education, attaches great importance to education and teaching, launched the plan of “Famous Professors Take Basic Courses”, actively advocated multiple evaluation systems, and encouraged research universities, general universities, vocational colleges and other institutions of higher learning. The coordinated development of the school promotes the international exchange of Chinese and foreign education.

　　It is understood that in September 1954, Yang Fujia was admitted to the Department of Physics of Fudan University with excellent grades, and since then he has forged a deep relationship with Fudan University and the discipline of physics.

In the fourth year of Yang Fujia's senior year, Lu Hefu, a first-level professor, opened a colorful nuclear theory course and served as the instructor of Yang Fujia's graduation thesis.

Yang Fujia experienced the splendid "beauty of physics", and he fell in love with it all his life and devoted himself to the field of nuclear physics.

　　In September 1963, Yang Fujia was selected as a visiting scholar at the Bohr Institute in Denmark to conduct research on nuclear reaction energy spectroscopy.

During the study period, Yang Fujia and more than 50 scholars from all over the world made important research results in just one year, which verified the prediction of a nuclear state of motion by two Nobel Prize scholars of the institute.

　　In 1978, Yang Fujia was appointed head of the Department of Nuclear Science at Fudan University.

Yang Fujia established a first-class laboratory in Fudan University and China - "Accelerator-based Atomic and Nuclear Physics Laboratory", and at the same time trained the first batch of doctoral students in experimental nuclear physics in China.

　　"Very rigorous!" Professor Chen Jianxin, who graduated from Fudan's nuclear physics major in July 1977 and stayed at the school to teach, used these four words to explain the academic attitude of his mentor Yang Fujia.

As a teacher, Yang Fujia is good at discovering the bright spots of students.

He told the students that it is more important to identify their strengths and strengths than to focus on the scores. "Recognize what you are good at and what you are not good at. Scores are appearances. Everyone has different characteristics. can fly."

　　In February 1993, Yang Fujia served as the fifth president of Fudan University in New China.

In life, Mr. Yang Fujia is amiable and amiable.

"He didn't show any air to us, and he often joked with everyone." Yang Liu, the secretary of President Yang Fu's family, recalled, "I feel very cordial to communicate with President Yang." The memory of Jin Xiaofeng, a professor in the Department of Physics at Fudan University Among them, the concept of "giving young people opportunities and caring for Fudan people" put forward by Yang Fujia gave young teachers like him an opportunity to emerge.

Yang Fujia actively promoted the construction of think tanks, promoted the establishment of Fudan Development Research Institute and served as the dean.

Yang Fujia invited young alumni to return to school, which is a great encouragement for young people.

　　In 2004, the University of Nottingham Ningbo China officially opened, and the nearly 70-year-old Yang Fujia became the first president. The preparation and establishment of this first Sino-foreign cooperatively-run university in China was inseparable from the planning and promotion of Yang Fujia.

In order to truly introduce the "authentic" British educational concept into China, Yang Fujia has played an important role as a bridge, actively communicating and coordinating between administrative departments, investors and foreign parties.

After the matchmaking of Yang Fu's family, Colin Campbell, the executive president of the University of Nottingham, UK, visited Ningbo. During the short two-hour visit, Yang Fu's family repeatedly recommended to the British side the advanced ideas of running academia and the sincerity of developing education. The efforts of the school-running team finally won the recognition of the British side.

　　Yang Fujia is an energetic and approachable scholar.

He also donated his personal savings to set up the "Dream Scholarship" to motivate students who show outstanding potential in the second class and other aspects.
