In 1996, when a reporter from the People's Daily interviewed Academician Wu Haoqing, who was over eighty years old at the time, he saw that there were many instruments and equipment in his home, and asked why, Academician Wu Haoqing smiled and said: "The instruments used for experiments are convenient to move to home. ”
It turned out that this was academician Wu Haoqing who moved the experimental instrument back home in order to get first-hand data on the charging and discharging of the new instrument. Because these data have to be recorded every hour, and they can't be interrupted at night, it is more convenient to record at home.
At that time, Academician Wu Haoqing was 82 years old, but he did not give such a basic job to assistants or students, and still insisted on measuring by himself, in order to obtain first-hand experimental data. This has been the norm in his teaching and research career for more than seventy years.
Wu Haoqing
Wu Haoqing is a well-known expert in the field of electrochemistry and analytical chemistry in China, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From teaching for more than 70 years, he has trained 3 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 49 masters, doctors and postdoctoral fellows, making indelible contributions to higher education in the field of chemistry in China.
This peach and plum fruit is inseparable from Academician Wu Haoqing's rigorous and pragmatic attitude towards learning.
Professor Yu Aishui of Fudan University is a student of Academician Wu Haoqing, Teacher Yu said that when he was studying with Academician Wu Haoqing, there was a classmate who planned to go abroad, but there was a course with only C in the test score, and Academician Wu Haoqing asked this classmate to retake it. Because in his view, strict requirements for students are really good for them, in his classroom, the C test is a manifestation of poor knowledge level, must be retaken.

Experiment is the cornerstone of chemistry, Academician Wu Haoqing not only requires students to actively do experiments, but also has long been rooted in the laboratory, even when he is more than ninety years old, he often goes to the laboratory to do experiments. He believes that if you don't do experiments yourself, you can't really effectively guide students to carry out research work.
His attitude towards scientific research is extremely rigorous and true, and he does not allow a trace of sloppiness in experiments. For the experimental data, he often has to repeat the experiment many times to ensure that the experimental results are true, accurate and reliable.
Wu Haoqing did experiments in the electrochemistry laboratory in October 1987
Looking back on his life, Elder Wu believes that he has done one thing in his life, that is, teaching, and he calls himself a happy teacher. He said that if there was an afterlife, he still wanted to be a teacher. He dedicated his life to the three-foot podium.
In April 2008, the elderly academician Wu Haoqing donated his savings to the Department of Chemistry of Fudan University and established the "Wu Haoqing Scholarship", which devoted himself to cultivating students and turning them into spring mud and more protective flowers.
In August 1978, he participated in the 29th International Annual Conference of Electrochemistry in Budapest (first from the right By Yang Wenzhi, second from the right by Wu Haoqing, third from the right, and Akitake from the right by Ota)
Academician Wu Haoqing taught his students his lifelong learning without reservation, always paying attention to their growth and development, and cultivating a large number of talents for the field of electrochemistry and analytical chemistry in China. The scientific research team led by Mr. Wu Haoqing has overcome many technical difficulties of lithium-ion batteries and made indelible contributions to the development of information and electronic technology in China.
His students have also achieved fruitful results in their own research fields, which has greatly promoted the development and progress of electrochemical research in China.
