Li Siguang's childhood story

Li Siguang, Chinese geologist, founder of geomechanics. In the 1920s, he first discovered the Quaternary glacial relics that existed in China and proposed the structural theory of geomechanics. He served as the Minister of Geology of the People's Republic of China and the Chairman of the China Association

Li Siguang is a native of Huanggang, Hubei Province, formerly known as Li Zhongkai. At the age of 14, he was sent to Japan to study because of his excellent academic performance. When filling out the passport of the country, he mistakenly entered the name "fourteen" in the name column. How to do? Li Zhongyi took the opportunity to add a few strokes to the word "Li". At first glance, the name is "Li Si", which is too tacky; and a "light" word is added at the back. Since then, he began to call "Li Siguang."

When Li Siguang was a child, his family was very poor, and his brothers and sisters were seven. His grandfather was bedridden. My father is a teacher, his income is meager, and his mother is farming. The days are very difficult. Li Siguang is the second child, very young, but very sensible. He usually sees his mother working alone, and he is saddened by his heart. He tries his best to help his mother work. When it was just dawn, he got up and filled the water tank; when he went up the mountain to cut wood, he always had to pick up the full house before returning home.

Li Siguang loved his brain from childhood. He helped his mother to glutinous rice, stepped on the pedals with his feet, and the small people couldn’t move. He used his rope to tie the pedals on the stone shovel. When the feet stepped down, he pulled the rope with his hands, so the stone shovel moved. It is. He and his children went to the lotus pond to pick up, and most of the friends were laughing and joking, playing and having fun. They could only take a few breaks and take them home for a long time. While Li Siguang is smart and capable, he first stepped on the sputum, and then carefully explored the direction of the sputum with his feet, and then grew on it.
