Master is gone, and Pan Jiluan, the "strongest welder", has been doing these three things all his life.

On April 9, 2022, internationally renowned welding engineering educator Pan Jiluan died in Beijing at the age of 95.

"Academician Pan Jiluan devoted his life to welding technology and education in China," Tsinghua University said in his obituary.

"I have mainly done three things in my life. The first thing is that I founded the first welding major in China. The second thing is that I founded Nanchang University. The third thing is that I have done a lot of work for China's industrial economy for decades. " Pan Jiluan once described his life like this.

He has multiple identities: academician of China Academy of Sciences, former president of Nanchang University, internationally renowned welding engineering educator and welding engineering expert, and Professor department of mechanical engineering of Tsinghua University.

1927 65438+On February 24th, Pan Jiluan was born in Ruichang, Jiangxi. 1944 was admitted to the Mechanical Department of National Southwest Associated University as the top scholar in Yunnan. 1948 Graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Tsinghua University, and stayed as a teacher. 1980, Pan Jiluan was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences.

Pan Jiluan's main research fields are welding technology, welding automation, welding power supply and weldability. He is one of the founders of domestic welding discipline, participated in the establishment of the first batch of welding majors in China universities such as Harbin Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University Welding Specialty, and trained a large number of bachelor, master and doctor of welding specialty. He once proudly said in an interview, "Now all the welding fields in China are my students, or students' students. "

Pan Jiluan participated in solving a number of major domestic engineering problems, making the high-speed rail "seamless" and the nuclear power plant "airtight", and the economic value of its scientific research results was as high as 1000 billion yuan.

From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, Pan Jiluan led a team to successfully weld the aluminum shell of the first experimental nuclear reactor in Tsinghua University, and cooperated with enterprises to develop the first vacuum electron beam welder in China.

Pan Jiluan is also the rail welding consultant for the first high-speed rail in China and Qinshan Nuclear Power Station, the first self-built nuclear power station in China. In 2008, he led the team to complete the first high-speed rail welding quality control project in China.

The photo of Pan Jiluan and his wife, Li Shiyu, riding horses on the campus of Tsinghua at the age of 90 attracted the envy and touch of countless netizens. Li Shiyu is a professor in Peking University, and the couple met when they were young.

When she was young, Li Shiyu's colleagues laughed at her: "Your boyfriend is a tin welder". Pan Jiluan answered very briefly, "This is useful."

"Welding, for the construction of nuclear power plants, is too important. This is not only a matter for China, but also for the whole world. Once something like Fukushima happens, how do you explain it? "

1987, in order to solve the welding problems reported by French experts, Pan Jiluan was entrusted by the State Council as the welding technical consultant of Qinshan Nuclear Power Station. Qinshan Nuclear Power Station is the first nuclear power station independently developed, designed and built in China.

During his work in Qinshan Nuclear Power Station, Pan Jiluan found many welding problems in the project. After consulting with Academician Ouyang Yu, then Vice Minister of Nuclear Industry, he decided to stop the project immediately and tear down all defective welded structures to ensure the quality of the project.

199 1 At the end of the year, Qinshan Nuclear Power Station was connected to the grid for power generation. So far, there are no problems with the main welding structure.

Up to now, Pan Jiluan's team is still conducting research on welded rotors of steam turbines in megawatt nuclear power plants and ultra-supercritical thermal power plants.

In 2005, Pan Jiluan was awarded "China Welding Lifetime Achievement Award" by China Welding Society and China Welding Association.

33687 is the student number of Pan Jiluan, a graduate student of National Southwest Associated University. "China Xingye must be outstanding." The dedication in the school song of Southwest Associated University carried through his life. "I study engineering. As long as there is a need in the project, I am willing to solve it. It is my pleasure to contribute to the country no matter what position I am in. "

It has always been his ideal to continue to contribute to the country. "As long as there is a need for national development, no matter how difficult the project is, it must be undertaken and completed." In his work, his requirements for students and teams are: unity and cooperation, courage to climb, just seeking contribution, indifferent to fame and fortune.

In academic research, he stressed that "I am opposed to doing research for the purpose of writing a paper. Whether you do this job is useful to the country is the key. " Advocate for the country and work hard for the rise and fall of the nation. "

From 20 1 1, Pan Jiluan is the president of Beijing Alumni Association of National Southwest Associated University. From National Southwest Associated University, he also has his own views on education. "First of all, we should cultivate children's personality, emotional intelligence and living habits. The statement' Don't lose at the starting line' is very wrong. "

Having fled all his life, Pan Jiluan has never forgotten his hometown. In the early 1990s, higher education in Jiangxi Province was in a state of "three noes": no key universities, no teaching staff and no doctoral programs. At that time, Nanchang University was merged from Jiangxi University and Jiangxi University of Science and Technology.

1In April, 1993, 66-year-old Pan Jiluan returned to his hometown of Jiangxi from Tsinghua Campus and became the president and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Nanchang University.

At the beginning of Pan Jiluan's plan to take office, the relevant leaders of Jiangxi Province told him that in order not to affect his academic activities and health, he would not do it even if he hung the name of the principal. His answer is: "If you don't go, you have to have a good reputation."

At the beginning of the reform, some people wrote to the Ministry of Education and the provincial party committee, saying that "Pan Jiluan came to Jiangxi to fuck around", which caused great resistance to the reform. With the support of Wu Guanzheng, then governor, Pan Jiluan carried out drastic reforms in Nanchang University.

Pan Jiluan decided to start with reversing the style of study and learn from the academic experience of National Southwest United University, and began to implement the "three systems" for students-the credit system (students who have completed credits can graduate ahead of time, and those who have not completed credits on time but study hard can prolong their life), the rolling competition system (transferring scholarships from backward public students to excellent self-funded students) and the elimination system (students who fail the examination will be expelled).

In his first year in office, the school expelled more than 40 people, and students never dared to be careless again. A year later, the school spirit was positive.

Pan Jiluan said, "Since the reform and opening up, I have been impetuous, but I pay attention to' reality' in engineering and doing things, not emptiness and form." After a series of reforms, Nanchang University has entered the ranks of 2 1 1 engineering universities.

After leaving office for more than ten years, the campus of Qianhu Campus of Nanchang University has left traces of "International Academy" and "International Road". Pan Jiluan has been honorary president of Nanchang University since 2002.
