Mr. Ding Wenjiang
I love watching celebrity biographies, and so do movies.
Last night, I watched a movie about the life of Ding Wenjiang, a scientific craftsman and cultural celebrity of the Republic of China.
Before I saw this movie, I really didn't know this person. Just as before Napoleon was not understood, nor did I know Corsica. Perhaps, this is a person's knowledge blind spot. You don't know, it doesn't have to be non-existent. You don't know, others don't necessarily don't know. Therefore, reading more books and watching more movies is a necessary way to broaden your horizons.
When we look at a person, the first thing to understand is this person, his education and experience, and his family. Second, we need to know, what did this person do? What is the contribution to this society?
If you don't understand it, you will be amazed when you understand it.

Mr. Ding Wenjiang, along with Hu Shi and Fu Sinian, were all contemporaries. He is a famous geologist and the founder of China's geological undertakings.
He was born in Huangqiao Town, Taixing, to a family of scholars. Since childhood, he has been famous for his prodigy. At that time, Long Zhang, the zhixian of Taixing County, Jiangsu Province, admired him very much. Order him to come and see you. When we met, we came out of the shanglian: May I smell Zizhi. Ding Wenjiang pondered for a moment and replied: I still read my book. Because of this meeting, Long Zhang decided to sponsor this child to study abroad. He said that this child will become a great instrument in the future. Therefore, the fourteen-year-old Ding Wenjiang went to Japan to study. Later, he went to England. Finally, graduated from the University of Glasgow in the UK.
He is good at learning and loves to learn. Not only do you understand geology, but also have unique research in history, archaeology, ethnography, geography, cartography and other aspects, and are called "encyclopedic" figures.
One of the things that I admired and touched the most was his younger brother Ding Wenyuan, who was studying in Germany. After graduating and returning to China, Ding Wenyuan served as the president of Tongji University. Both brothers are quite powerful, both are pillars of the country.
At the beginning of the movie, it is Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu, anxiously surrounding a phone. Because at this time, when Ding Wenjiang took some students to the Tanjiashan Coal Mine in Hunan to investigate, he accidentally got gas poisoned and sent to the local hospital for rescue.
And, the most important journey in his life is that he lies in the hospital bed, in the conversation with students and friends, little by little replay to show.
Through these replayed clips, we viewers will connect these memories together in our brains. In this way, you can fully understand his extraordinary life, his legendary life.
Unfortunately, at the age of forty-nine, he died young. Due to gas poisoning, the rescue was ineffective, and his life came to an abrupt end on that day of that year. Can't help but sigh, it is really jealous!
At this point, I suddenly remembered the poem of mr. Zang Kejia:
Some people live
He's dead;
Some people died
He's alive.

The end of the movie is also a before and after care. Mr. Hu Shi, in honor of the founder of geology, wrote a biography, namely "The Biography of Ding Wenjiang".
Biography written by Hu Shi
Now, in Mr. Ding Wenjiang's hometown, Taixing City, Jiangsu Province, there is a memorial to him. There, once the place where he lived. There is a Simple Friend of Taixing, you can go to see and write about this "Xu Xiake of the Republic of China". Perhaps, more on-the-spot, not as dry as I did.
The film was shot in 2018 and Ding Wenjiang is played by young actor Wu Junqing.
Although it is not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, it is more contrived and stiff to watch. But it is enough to show the magnificent life of a scholar.
