Li Yongxin, an expert in mechanical engineering and scientific information. Dedicated to the research of mechanical science and technology information all his life. This paper puts forward the basic links of establishing information system with "source, canal, reservoir and flow", which promotes the establishment of information system in machinery industry. Participate in information policy research of machinery industry. Many achievements have been made in mechanical engineering, information science, publishing science and other fields. It has contributed to the development of science and technology information and publishing industry in China.
Li Yongxin was born in a peasant family in Zhu Village, Ninghe County, Hebei Province. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and his ancestors came from a peasant family, so he had high expectations. After he finished junior high school in Ninghe Middle School, he was admitted to Beiping Hebei High School on 1947. In this school, he was diligent and eager to learn, pursued progress, participated in the summer study group for college and middle school students sponsored by the Youth League Committee of Beiping at that time, gradually came into contact with revolutionary theories such as historical materialism and new democracy, and established a preliminary revolutionary outlook on life. 1In August, 949, he joined the New Democratic Youth League. 1February, 950 gloriously joined the China * * * production party.
1In August, 950, Li Yongxin was admitted to Tsinghua University Aeronautical Engineering Department with excellent results. 1952 In August, Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics was established, with Tsinghua University Department of Aeronautical Engineering as the main body, and he also transferred to the Engine Department of Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics to study. 1954 graduated from university. At this time, during the construction period of China's first five-year plan, all fronts are developing rapidly, and all walks of life are in urgent need of a large number of professional and technical talents with culture and knowledge. He took part in the work with patriotism. He used to be a technician in the second design section of the former technical department of the second Ministry of Machinery Industry. Here, he participated in planning and organizing the trial production of aero-engines, aviation spark plugs, electrical appliances, instruments, aviation guns, tanks, chariot engines and other projects. Frequent business trips to the trial production base, timely grasp the trial production progress, collect existing problems, put forward measures and suggestions, and organize the specific implementation of various programs. 195j, at the age of 26, independently undertook the investigation and analysis task of a certain aircraft landing gear fracture accident. He went to the scene to investigate and collect evidence for many times, consulted relevant technical data, and after repeated analysis and research, he wrote an investigation report on the cause of the accident and successfully completed the task.
At this time, although Li Yongxin was only in his twenties, his abilities and talents were beginning to show. However, 1958 was wrongly classified as a rightist because he was too straightforward and did not express indignation at the illegal behavior of individual leaders. It is an extremely unfair and cruel blow to this young man who pursues his career.
Adversity is often an opportunity to build a career. Although Li Yongxin has been wronged for 20 years, suffering is not necessarily a fortune. It is in these long years that he worked hard and diligently with his loyalty to the party and the motherland and his pursuit of his career, which laid a solid foundation for his knowledge and talents.
1958 In May, Li Yongxin came to work in the reference room of the Institute of Science and Technology Information of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry. He used the opportunity of sorting out books and materials every day to read a large number of domestic and foreign scientific and technological books and materials, and made great efforts to study Marxist classics such as Das Kapital and Dialectics of Nature. In this sea of knowledge, he benefited a lot from his admiration for English. In order to read more foreign language materials directly, he studies foreign languages hard, often staying out of the street for months, not having a haircut, and studying late into the night every night. At that time, learning a foreign language, not only did not have the motivation to go abroad, study abroad, foreign affairs activities, but also did not have any conditions such as TV and radio lectures and study remedial classes, and even took great risks. He just relied on the dictionary to attack word by word, and with tenacious perseverance, he continued to burn ointment and conquered five foreign languages: English, Japanese, Russian, German and French. In addition, he also thoroughly studied basic theories and scientific knowledge such as mathematics, modern physics, industrial chemistry, electronics, computer, laser science, mechanical product structure and technology, information theory and method, economics, organization and management.
From 65438 to 0962, Li Yongxin began to edit periodicals. From this year to 198 1, he successively edited foreign machinery industry, foreign machinery, foreign machinery reference and other publications, and served as the editor-in-chief of the Sino-US joint publication Western Technology and Management and the Sino-British joint publication Advanced Technology and Products. He made great efforts to run these publications well. During this period, he devoted himself to studying the development trend and experience of Chinese and foreign machinery industry; Continuously track, learn and introduce new technologies and products from foreign machinery industry; He has written more than 90 academic papers and works, such as "Lateral Trends and Trends of Foreign Machinery Industry" and "Review of Japan's Machinery Revitalization Law". Translated and published 9 books on science and technology management in Russia, Britain, Japan and Germany; Compile and draw 7 sets of wall charts and atlas of complete sets of equipment such as mining, mineral processing, blast furnace, steel rolling and chemical fertilizer; Publish books such as "Overview of Foreign Industrial Modernization" and "Basic Knowledge of Mechanical Workers"; He also served as the deputy editor-in-chief of the mechanical engineering history sub-volume of the mechanical engineering volume of the Encyclopedia of China, and wrote a series of "Modern Mechanical Engineering History" for the book. 198 1 year, entrusted by UNIDO, he wrote an 80,000-word paper on the development of China's machinery industry in English, which was adopted by UNIDO. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that most of these achievements were carried out and completed by him under the difficult conditions of adversity.
From 1958 to 1978, it was rehabilitated. He worked silently in the field of mechanical science and technology information and dedicated his knowledge to the motherland. Even in the most difficult days of the Cultural Revolution, his original intention has not changed. 1969 was sent to Henan Luoshan May 7th Cadre School. There, he created a soil "flat plate" for mapping farmland in his labor; It has undertaken technical work such as design and installation of water pump stations and pumps, installation, maintenance and operation of diesel generator sets. Although he later became a famous expert in scientific and technological information and mechanical engineering, when he filled in his resume, he still filled in the main technical work he had done in the May 7th Cadre School. Perhaps only he can really weigh the weight of this history in his life.
198 1 year, Li Yongxin took the leadership position of deputy director of the Information Institute of the Ministry of Machinery Industry; 1983, director and president of machinery industry publishing house. In addition to intense administrative work, he engaged in the research of mechanical science and technology information with a more selfless spirit, and successively published papers such as From Introduction and Grafting to Building a Country through Science and Technology, Integrating Theory with Practice to Carry out Information Academic Activities, Establishing a Chinese Retrieval System Adapting to China's National Conditions, and Preliminary Study on the Application of Computers in Publishing Industry. He also wrote an English paper "The Status of Cutting-edge Technology in Developing Countries", which was read at the Nairobi meeting of the World Federation of Engineers. In order to publicize the patriotism and dedication of the older generation of scientists, Shen Hongchuan co-authored and published in 1987.
Shortly after Li Yongxin became a director, he was found to have a heart attack, and his condition became more and more serious due to overwork. He has been rescued for myocardial infarction several times. However, regardless of his personal safety, he spared no effort to devote himself to the development and reform of his career. He put forward the concept of "high quality, high efficiency, enterprising and realistic", and he first practiced it. From the long-term construction planning of the institute to the implementation of specific scientific research projects, from the cultivation of young talents to the improvement of employees' housing welfare, he takes it seriously and works for more than ten hours every day. Even at lunch time, he often talks about his work with his colleagues. At home, he often makes do with instant noodles and leftover steamed bread and works until late at night. He constantly pursues the highest level in his career, but he is satisfied with leading an honest and clean life. He is very concerned about the growth of young researchers. He often talks with them about ideals, work and life, and tries his best to create working conditions and opportunities for young people to become talents. He was praised as a "mentor" by young comrades. He enjoys high prestige among the masses. From 1977 to 1982, he was repeatedly rated as an advanced worker in the Ministry and an excellent * * * party member. . 198j was rated as an advanced worker of national science and technology information system.
For a long time, Li Shuixin has made many achievements in mechanical engineering, information science, publishing science and other fields through unremitting efforts under the cultivation of the Party. He used to be the vice chairman of China Science and Technology Information Society, the chairman of Management Society, the vice chairman of China Petroleum and Petrochemical Equipment Research Association, the director of China Publishers Association and the member of the Technology Transfer Committee of the World Federation of Engineers. He is also employed as a master tutor and part-time professor of information major in Jilin University of Technology, Hefei University of Technology and School of Information Science, Technology and Industry of National Defense.
Regrettably, just as Li Yongxin was preparing to work harder for the Party with a new attitude, his illness took his life, at the age of 59, and he died young. The broad masses of workers still clearly remember that just one or two days before his departure, he was still widely aware of the development of various work, and was still talking with grassroots comrades and encouraging each other. He fought for the cause of the motherland and the people until the last moment of his life.
