Abstract

The true “awakening of a giant”1 in science and technology (S&T) started in the late 1970s, following the demise in 1976 of three Chinese political giants—Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Mao Zedong, marking the moment in time when the political pyramid of the People’s Republic of China was shaken in a fundamental way. Chinese history took a dramatic turn thereafter and China’s second-generation leadership, headed by Deng Xiaoping, orchestrated the more than decade-long process of restoring and reforming the national college education system. I am one of the Chinese scientists who benefited greatly from this process, being admitted into the Department of Chemistry at Jilin University in 1978.i
