1. Lu Xun
Lu Xun (September 25, 1881 - October 19, 1936), whose original name was Zhou Zhangshou, was later renamed Zhou Shuren. The pseudonym was Yushan, later changed to Hecai.

Lu Xun spent his life in literary creation, literary criticism, ideological research, literary history research, translation, introduction of art theory, and introduction of basic science. He has made significant contributions to many fields, including collation and research of ancient books.
He had a significant influence on the ideological and cultural development of Chinese society after the May 4th Movement. He is famous in the world of literature, especially in the ideological and cultural fields of South Korea and Japan. The writer who occupies the largest territory on the cultural map of East Asia.”

The first batch of outstanding scientists after the founding of New China and the heroes who made outstanding contributions to the development of New China. In 2009, he was elected as one of the 100 people who touched China since the founding of New China.
Li Siguang founded geomechanics and made important contributions to the development of China's petroleum industry. In his early years, he conducted exquisite research on the fossils of the family Nymphoides and their stratigraphic layering significance, and proposed the theory of Quaternary glaciers in eastern China. existence, established the concepts of new edge subjects "geomechanics" and "tectonic system", established the concept of "tectonic system", and created the school of geomechanics.
Proposed the understanding of the three subsidence zones of the New Cathaysian tectonic system with broad oil prospects, and created a way to predict earthquakes that combines active tectonic research with in-situ stress observation.
3. Zhang Heng
Zhang Heng (78-139), also known as Pingzi. Han nationality, a native of Xi'e, Nanyang (now Shiqiao Town, Nanyang City, Henan Province), one of the Five Sages of Nanyang, and together with Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, and Ban Gu, are known as the four great masters of Han Fu.
A great astronomer, mathematician, inventor, geographer, and writer during the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. He served successively as doctor, Taishi Ling, Shizhong, and Hejian Minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In his later years, he entered the court and served as minister due to illness. He died in the fourth year of Yonghe (139) at the age of sixty-two. In the Northern Song Dynasty, he was posthumously named Xi Hubei.
Zhang Heng's astronomical works include "Lingxian" and "Annotations on the Armillary Sphere", etc. His mathematical works include "Suan Wang Lun", and literary works are represented by "Er Jing Fu" and "Guitian Fu". . "Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" contains 14 volumes of "Zhang Heng Collection", which has been lost for a long time. Zhang Pu of Ming Dynasty compiled "Zhang Hejian Collection", which was included in "Collection of One Hundred and Three Masters of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties".
Zhang Heng made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese astronomy, mechanical technology, and seismology. He invented the armillary sphere and the seismograph. He was one of the representatives of the armillary theory in the middle Eastern Han Dynasty.
He is known as the "Sage of Wood" (Sage of Science) by later generations. Due to his outstanding contributions, the United Nations Astronomical Organization named a crater on the back of the moon "Zhangheng Crater", the 1802th asteroid in the solar system. Named "Zhang Hengxing". In order to commemorate Zhang Heng, later generations built the Zhang Heng Museum in Nanyang.
4. Zhenning Yang
Zhenning Yang, born on October 1, 1922 in Hefei, Anhui Province, is a world-renowned physicist. He is currently a chair professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a professor at Tsinghua University, and a professor at the State University of New York in the United States. Emeritus professor of Stony Brook University, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, academician of Taiwan's "Academia Sinica", academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and member of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom.
Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957; he was the first Chinese scientist to return to China to visit after the loosening of relations between China and the United States. He actively promoted Sino-US cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the Chinese and American people; in promoting China-U.S. He has made significant contributions to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, talent exchanges and scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States.
Zhenning Yang has made landmark contributions in the fields of particle physics, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. In the 1950s, he collaborated with R.L. Mills to propose the non-Abelian gauge field theory.
In 1956, he collaborated with Li Zhengdao to propose the law of non-conservation of parity in weak interactions; he did a lot of pioneering work in particle physics and statistical physics, proposed the Yang-Baxter equation, and opened up the field of quantum physics. New directions for research on integral systems and many-body problems.
In addition, Yang Zhenning promoted the establishment of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Advanced Research Center of Tsinghua University, the Theoretical Physics Laboratory of Nankai University, and the Advanced Academic Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University.
