Research on the path of practicing and spreading the spirit of scientists from Bingzhi who is the first generation scientist in China
As a pioneering scientist in China, Bingzhi confronted the prevalent issues of work style and academic atmosphere in the scientific community during the 1930s and 1940s. He distilled the essence of the scientist's spirit, deeply embracing and disseminating it. Bingzhi steadfastly upheld the belief in saving the nation through science. In his mission to save the nation and promote national rejuvenation, he remained devoted to the scientific cause, immersing himself in research, while also shouldering social responsibilities by advancing science education and nurturing biological professionals. His pioneering contributions include exploring the institutionalization of modern biology in China. This article highlighted representative events from Bingzhi's life, summarized the similarities between his scientific spirit and that of scientists in the new era, and delved into his perspectives on scientists' responsibility in popularizing science. It posits that Bingzhi serves as an exemplary role model for scientists and is suitable as an ideal case study for promoting the spirit of scientists in contemporary efforts.
