The "Guozihao" Museum has added a new member! May 30 is the eighth "National Science and Technology Workers Day". On this day, the China Museum of Science officially opened to the public and held its first exhibition series, which attracted widespread attention. The Chinese Scientists Museum is the world's first national museum established for a group of scientists in the name of the country, with the purpose of displaying the image of Chinese scientists, promoting the spirit of scientists, and creating a spiritual palace for scientific and technological workers.

From Li Siguang, Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang, Deng Jiaxian, to Chen Jingrun, Huang Danian, Nan Rendong... In the history of the development of New China, shining names have supported the backbone of science and technology. It is their efforts that enabled my country's scientific and technological development to achieve a leap from scratch, from weak to strong, and gave our country the confidence and strength to develop independently and innovate independently. Museums are carriers of historical memory. The establishment of a museum of scientists in the name of the country is a tribute to the vast number of scientific and technological workers and also demonstrates respect for the spirit of scientists.

The spirit of scientists is not an abstract word that cannot be seen or touched, but is reflected in vivid deeds of serving the country through science and strengthening the country through science. The preparation of the Chinese Scientists Museum began with the collection of data and was finally completed after years of accumulation. It is understood that the museum’s first exhibition includes 1 main exhibition and 5 special exhibitions. The main exhibition is divided into “The Backbone of the Republic—Exhibition of Fine Collections of the Chinese Scientists Museum” and “Long Collecting of Good Years and Fruitful Years—Collection of Academic Growth Materials of Old Scientists” The two major sections of the "Engineering Special Exhibition" are based on the first batch of research results of the "Old Scientists Academic Growth Data Collection Project". A total of more than 400 objects, more than 400 precious pictures of more than 190 scientists and 10 materials provided by relevant scientific research units are on display. The remaining large-scale exhibits. During this period, through cultural relics, documents and other precious historical materials, we have a more comprehensive understanding of the major events in the development of science and technology in China; looking at letters, manuscripts, and works, we can understand the academic growth process of scientists; following the lives of scientific research strivers Footprints, deep respect rises in our hearts.

The museum is just such a bridge, connecting history, present and future. People wander around and understand "where they come from and where they are going" from what they see and hear, and gain the strength to move toward the future. The history of the development of science and technology in our country is also a history of witnessing and writing of the spirit of scientists. From "two bombs and one satellite" to manned spaceflight, from "eyes in the sky" to ask questions about the sky to "dragons" to explore the sea, from long bridges to high-speed trains... Generations of scientific and technological workers have continued to work hard and have established a solid foundation on the land of the motherland. The monuments of scientific and technological innovation have been built one after another, and a unique spiritual temperament has also been created - the patriotic spirit of caring for the motherland and serving the people, the innovative spirit of bravely climbing to the top and daring to be the first, the realistic spirit of pursuing truth and rigorous scholarship, being indifferent to fame and fortune, and concentrating on The spirit of dedication to research, the collaborative spirit of pooling wisdom to tackle key problems, and the spirit of unity and cooperation, and the nurturing spirit of being willing to serve as a ladder for others and encouraging young students to learn. Scientific achievements are inseparable from spiritual support. In the new era and new journey, accelerating the construction of a scientific and technological power and achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance require vigorous promotion of the spirit of scientists.

A museum is like a university. To carry forward the spirit of scientists, we must make good use of museum resources. Give full play to the functions of the Chinese Scientists Museum in collecting historical materials, collecting historical materials, academic research, exhibitions, education and teaching, and cultural promotion, and make comprehensive use of modern scientific and technological means such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence to continuously improve the effect of display and communication; focus on the Scientists Museum System construction, through the establishment of the Chinese Scientists Museum Consortium, will lead to the formation of a joint effort among scientists’ spiritual education bases and related educational and scientific research institutions to tell scientists’ stories well and let the scientists’ spirit infiltrate the hearts of more people. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the completion and opening of the Chinese Scientists Museum, we will promote the formation of a strong atmosphere of respecting knowledge, advocating innovation, respecting talents, loving science, and dedicating ourselves to science in the whole society, give full play to the value orientation and demonstration and leadership role of advanced models, and inspire and motivate the broad masses of science and technology Workers strive to be the creators of major scientific research achievements, contributors to building a strong scientific and technological country, practitioners of lofty ideological and moral character, and leaders of good social trends.

Inherit the spiritual torch and bravely climb the peak of science. Turn the precious spiritual wealth of the scientist's spirit into the confidence and strength to move forward. We have every reason to believe that our country's scientific and technological talent team will continue to grow, and the development of our country's scientific and technological undertakings will continue to create new brilliance.
