He loves the motherland, science and the Party. Zhu had a strong patriotism in his youth. As early as 19 15, the teachers and students of Fidi Middle School jointly organized and published China Magazine. He used to be a domestic product investigator and wrote in the first issue of the magazine: boycott Japanese goods. "Otherwise, at this critical juncture, people can't try their best to remedy it, regardless of the overall situation and wait for success or failure. What's the difference? " This is the lofty spirit of Zhu, a patriotic young man, who took the world as his duty and mobilized to save the country and the people in old China, where the national fortune was declining. From 65438 to 0935, after the "North China Incident", under the guise of "Japan-China support", Japan paid special attention to some famous professors in China at that time. Zhu Ziran became the target of their attempt to hunt. /kloc-in the summer of 0/936, a Japanese from Shanghai Asian Literature Museum sent Zhu an "invitation", asking him to attend the annual meeting of the Japanese Zoological Society, inviting him to give lectures in Japan for free sightseeing and enjoying "special treatment". Zhu arrived late with the other party's invitation, and the next semester's course was full of excuses and refused the other party's "hospitality." The following year, an "invitation" was issued several months in advance, but this time it was simply rejected, showing the firm national integrity and integrity of a China scholar.
He studied at Soochow University and taught at St John's University, both of which were missionary schools. Pastors often visit to promote Christianity and induce them to join the church. However, Zhu, who has lived in this environment for nearly 30 years, has never joined the church. He believes that the theory of God's creation is incompatible with the basic scientific principles of biological evolution. This is the ideological logic of an honest scientist.
During the period of 1958, Premier Zhou convened a symposium in some universities in Shanghai, and cordially encouraged him to do a better job in aquatic education and scientific research. Premier Zhou said: "The Party needs intellectuals", and Zhu was deeply moved to answer: "The Party needs intellectuals, and intellectuals need the Party even more!" He repaid the care and love of the party by working hard.
He is rigorous in his studies, meticulous and striving for perfection. When People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, it had been more than half a century. He will do his best and practice everything. When studying fish, he did experiments repeatedly, and he was not careless at all. Wearing reading glasses and holding a magnifying glass, he repeatedly compared, verified and corrected every sentence and picture on the record with the real thing until it was completely correct. After entering the 80-year-old age, leg muscles atrophy and hands tremble, making the operation quite difficult. But he persevered and looked at the specimens under the dissecting mirror at home. Because there is no swivel chair, he can only stand and watch until he is too tired to rest, and then stand up and watch. In order to use an academic term or a person's name or place name correctly, we have to look through many reference books and think twice. A paper is usually easy to read and its draft is impeccable. For example, when studying the lateral tube system of cartilaginous fish, in order to find out the perforation of dorsal branch and ventral branch of glossopharyngeal tube of rays, he repeatedly consulted materials, observed anatomical specimens, and even thought about it when eating, walking and resting until he fully understood the context. Many foreign visiting scholars were moved and admired by his advanced age, high-yield scientific research achievements and high-quality works. A scholar from Kyoto University in Japan said: "It is extremely rare for such an old person to study science in Japan!"
He carefully cultivated and promoted talents and was willing to be a ladder. He pays attention to teaching and training his assistants. For young scientists who have just joined the work, he personally formulated a set of plans and measures to cultivate basic skills and advocated perseverance and perseverance in scientific research. Careful guidance, strict requirements, no matter who's academic papers, he personally read, repeatedly scrutinized, even a punctuation mark, almost every article was returned and revised by him more than once, until he felt impeccable, it was recognized. If you find your assistant reluctant, say seriously, "This is a long-term plan, and he is responsible for future generations!" " If you have any achievements and progress, you will be warmly encouraged. On several occasions, he suggested putting his name at the back and young comrades at the front, and sometimes he simply suggested not putting his name at the back. He has trained a large number of young and middle-aged talents in ichthyology and aquatic science and technology for the country, and some of them have been promoted to associate researcher, researcher, associate professor and professor. Zhu repeatedly said to his assistant earnestly, "My life is running out. I have to hurry to pave the way for you, which is my last contribution to the country! "
Zhu is good at learning from the essence of western science, never worships foreign things and flatters foreign things, takes his own way academically, brings forth the new and forms his own unique style, leaving an extremely rich and precious academic legacy for future generations, as well as the noble demeanor of an impressive scholar.
