The Life of Characters in Hu Huanyong's Works

Hu Huanyong lost his father since childhood and his family was poor. 19 12 years, he was in high school. At that time, high school students had already started taking English classes. Lu, an English teacher, helped him read Fifty Interesting Stories about Middle School Students' Tessie after class, which laid the foundation for him to learn many western languages in the future. 19 15, Hu Huanyong was admitted to Jiangsu No.5 Middle School (now Changzhou Middle School). Here, the hard life inspired his studious spirit, and the tireless spirit of teachers left him an example of being a teacher and influenced his life.

When Hu Huanyong graduated from high school, it was the climax of the May 4th Movement. This is an era of violent social unrest and uncertain future of the country, and it is an era that appeals to young people to care about the future of the country and the world situation. In this context, young Hu Huanyong is determined to embark on the road of geography and geography education. Hu Huanyong made many contributions to geography. All these contributions are made in the post of teacher. Therefore, he is a geography educator first. His long-term teaching career, first in the Department of Geography of Central University, then in the Department of Geography of East China Normal University in Shanghai.

Modern geography education in China began in the Department of Geography of National Southeast University (later the Department of Geography of Central University). It was Zhu Kezhen who founded this department. It was Hu Huanyong who inherited the cause initiated by Zhu Kezhen. 19 19 was admitted to the Department of Literature, History and Geography of Nanjing Normal University. 1923, Hu Huanyong graduated from Nangao and became a history geography teacher in Jiangsu No.8 Middle School (now Yangzhou Middle School). /kloc-in the spring of 0/926, he returned to Nanjing to make up the credits of Dongda University and obtained a bachelor's degree in East Dali. At that time, he went to France by boat and studied at the University of Paris and the College de France. When Hu Huanyong was still studying in France (1927), Zhu Kezhen had two burdens on his shoulders: the director of the Institute of Meteorology of Academia Sinica and the head of the Earth Science Department of Central University (then known as the Fourth Sun Yat-sen University, 1929 renamed Central University). 1September, 928, Hu Huanyong returned from France, became a professor in the Department of Geology of Central University and a researcher in the Institute of Meteorology, and became Zhu Kezhen's right-hand man in these two units.

From 1930, Zhu Kezhen ceased to be a professor at Central University. Zhu Kezhen left behind the teaching tasks of physical geography and climatology, almost all of which were undertaken by Hu Huanyong. From 65438 to 0930, the Department of Geography of Central University was divided into the Department of Geography and the Department of Geology, with Hu Huanyong as the head of the Department of Geography. In this way, all the tasks of cultivating geographical talents undertaken by Zhu Kezhen in those years were transferred to Hu Huanyong. From 1927 to 1937, the Department of Geography of Central University (including the former Department of Geography) flourished. In the year of 10, especially in the seven years after 1930, Hu Huanyong played a great role in cultivating geographical talents. He has undertaken almost all the teaching tasks of climatology and physical geography, including general theory of earth science, climatology, weather forecast, map projection, and physical geography of Asia and Europe. In addition, he is also engaged in the basic construction of geography teaching, such as compiling teaching materials, drawing up wall charts, establishing China Geography Education Research Association, and developing geography education.

While Hu Huanyong and the Department of Geography of Central University were making progress, Japanese imperialism launched the July 7th Incident. After the war spread to Shanghai, the school decided to move the school to Chongqing.

The difficulty of running a school in Chongqing is the indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes. 1940 One evening in the summer, enemy planes dropped bombs, which seriously damaged several houses in the Department of Geography.

194 1 year, the department of geography research was established in the research institute of central university, with Hu Huanyong as the director, and three first-time graduate students were enrolled in that year. After that, he recruited graduate students every year until he went to the United States for inspection after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. 1947 When he came back from America, it was the time of victory in the War of Liberation. On the eve of Nanking's liberation, he refused to fly to Taiwan Province and expressed his determination to pursue political progress. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he studied in the Institute of Politics of North China Revolutionary University 1 year and worked in the Technical Committee of Huaihe River Governance Committee for 3 years. From 65438 to 0953, he was transferred to the Geography Department of East China Normal University in Shanghai and began his teaching and research career in Shanghai for more than 40 years. From then on, until the establishment of the Population Institute of East China Normal University, except during the Cultural Revolution, he mainly engaged in the teaching and research of world geography. In teaching, he has served as the director of the teaching and research section of physical geography on all continents, held research classes on physical geography on all continents, and recruited graduate students of world geography for many times. Before 1956, I personally taught Asian physical geography and European physical geography courses for undergraduates. Although this period of time is not long, he still wrote relevant monographs seriously.

198 1 year later, Hu huanyong, as the director of the population research institute of east China normal university, mainly engaged in the training of graduate students in population geography. Recruit doctoral students from 1984; Since 1985, he has served as a guidance professor in Post-Doctoral Research Center. 1989 After retiring in March, he still returned to his post and served as honorary director of the Population Research Institute.

Hu Huanyong galloped in the forefront of geography education for more than 60 years and formed his own teaching style. His lecture is unconventional, but first puts forward the central question and then makes a detailed analysis, which is beautiful and fascinating. The content of one of his classes, although the main points are only a few words, combined with a map or a table, is a colorful class and has received good teaching results. Today, there are many talented people in China's geography field, and his contribution is indelible.
