In my opinion, Academician Chen has two characteristics: First, he loves the motherland, devoted his life to the great cause of the development of the motherland, and contributed all his energy to China's realization of the Chinese dream until the last moment; Second, Academician Chen has always been known for his advanced strategic layout in the research field.
Why did Academician Chen love the motherland all his life? First of all, when he is about to graduate from high school and choose the direction of his future research career, China was constantly threatened by capitalist countries because of its weak national strength and underdeveloped science and technology. He gave up his favorite literature major, resolutely turned to science, and entered the radio and electronics major in Tsinghua University with excellent results. Secondly, during his research career, when he made strategic decisions and decided the research direction, he only considered the development of national science and technology, which had no influence on his personal future. This is worth learning by our successors! This is the common feature of the older generation of scientists. They are all willing to be poor and lonely, and only the great cause of national science and technology development is persistent.
Another feature of Academician Chen is the advanced strategic layout. On the one hand, Chen Lao has been paying close attention to the scientific research achievements of international related majors, and can keenly capture, learn from and use the development of related new technologies in my research field; On the other hand, Academician Chen is also good at distinguishing authenticity and extracting high-quality nutrients in the complicated information ocean, which has accelerated the scientific and technological development in the field of navigation guidance and control in China. Moreover, Academician Chen always has a forward-looking plan. Beaten for falling behind? Realize. In the upper-level planning and design of its research field, it not only focuses on the present, but also focuses on ten or twenty years later. Time has proved that the development plan formulated by Academician Chen many years ago is very prescient.
To sum up, the greatest feature of Academician Chen Dingchang is actually his love for the motherland. His love for the motherland prompted him to change the direction of his life pursuit; It is also a love for the motherland, which makes him always think about the development of his research field from the perspective of national science and technology development in his scientific research career; It was his love for the motherland that made him willing to be poor and lonely all his life and concentrate on scientific research until his later years when he refused to enjoy leisure. Academician Chen Dingchang's life is glorious and great, which deserves our admiration and study!
