Professor Pan Xiaoling has worked in the border areas with difficult conditions all the year round. He has traveled all over the oasis, desert and Gobi in Xinjiang for many years, and engaged in ecological teaching and scientific research in arid areas. She gave up the opportunity of high-paying employment and emigration in some well-known universities in the mainland, and unswervingly chose Xinjiang in the west of the motherland. With great love for the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang and this vast land, she silently dedicated her talents and youth to the cultivation of talents for the development of the western region, the management and improvement of the ecological environment, the progress of science and technology and the economic and social development of Xinjiang.
1996, Pan Xiaoling just got his doctorate from Sun Yat-sen University and returned to Xinjiang University as the deputy director of the "21/project" office. At that time, Xinjiang University was in the critical moment of applying for the project "2 1 1", but at this time, her lover had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital for rescue. Her daughter was born for more than ten days. When she arranged her infant daughter, rushed to the emergency room of the hospital to take care of her husband, and hurried to the preparatory work meeting of "2 1 1 project" in Xinjiang University, she could only silently wipe away the tears on her face. In 2005, for the sake of "loyalty and filial piety", she took back her father who had been suffering from cancer for 20 years and her mother who had been paralyzed for many years in Guangzhou, so that her ideals and family ties could be together and her career could be together with Xinjiang. In 2006, at the last moment of her life, Pan Xiaoling, suffering from cancer, her frail husband, tender daughter and elderly parents stuck to the land she loved most in Xinjiang, and realized the greatest value of her life where the motherland needed it most, and wrote a touching green poem with her life.
Second, strive to cultivate talents.
Professor Pan Xiaoling has worked in the front line of teaching for more than 20 years, and has undertaken the teaching of basic courses and degree courses for graduate students and undergraduates majoring in ecology. She has taught more than 10 courses for undergraduates and graduate students, and the teaching and research workload has exceeded the prescribed amount by more than three times over the years. The average annual teaching workload is nearly 500 hours, and the scientific research workload exceeds 1000 hours. With full enthusiasm for education and ardent expectations for students, she always strictly demands herself, shows a good moral image of teachers in front of students, and becomes a close friend and model of students. She inspires students with ideal light and philosopher's wisdom; Influence students with the personality charm of management democracy and teaching democracy; Inspire students with rigorous teaching and professionalism. Give full play to the power of a people's teacher to set an example.
In order to cultivate talents who are at the forefront of science and face the world, she cooperated with eight universities including Colorado State University, Michigan State University and Maryland University through extensive international scientific research cooperation, and created a new model of "double tutorial system" for postgraduate training, which greatly broadened students' scientific horizons and comprehensively improved the quality of personnel training. In order to form a mature team in the field of research in arid areas in a short time and seize the commanding heights of international competition, she reformed the mode and method of talent training, and creatively put forward a high-level talent training mode of "taking serving Xinjiang as the value criterion, cultivating creative talents with innovative research, and cultivating leading talents with cooperative concept and humanistic spirit". The dry land watered by her hard work and sweat has also produced fruitful results. Among the 32 postgraduates and 12 doctoral students she trained, some won the National Baosteel Excellent Postgraduate Award, Excellent Postgraduate Award and Excellent Thesis Award, and some were promoted to become advanced teachers and academic backbones.
Third, love your job and strive to climb the peak of science.
Professor Pan Xiaoling has been a friend of natural and arid areas for many years. He has a broad vision, keen scientific insight and active academic thoughts, and keeps a close eye on and grasps the latest developments in the field of international ecology. With unimaginable energy and painstaking efforts, she tried to change the color of the arid desert in northwest China. As a female natural science worker who is engaged in the study of ecological environment in arid areas, she has gone deep into the desert, climbed mountains and wandered grasslands countless times. From 1983 to 2006, she traveled all over the mountains and rivers in the arid areas of western China.
For more than ten years, she has presided over 16 national and provincial scientific research projects, with a total research funding of 39 million yuan. 1999 professor Pan Xiaoling, aged 36, was hired by the Ministry of science and technology as the chief scientist of the 973 national key basic research development plan, and became the youngest chief scientist of a major research project in China, with a grant of 34 million yuan. It is the first time to obtain such a major national scientific research project in Xinjiang and even in the west. It took her two years to apply for this important project, and she can't remember how many sleepless nights she spent with her colleagues and how many moments of hope and despair she experienced. After many troubles, she finally got what she wanted. She led nearly 100 Chinese and foreign scientists to study the ecological environment in the arid area of western China, and achieved a series of scientific research results, and published more than one paper 100 in important academic journals at home and abroad. Among them, SCI and EI collected 56 articles and published 4 monographs. The research results won 7 awards at or above the provincial and ministerial level. Relying on this project, more than 100 senior talents of master's degree and doctor's degree have been trained for the border areas where talents are scarce. She put forward the theory and method of oasis stable regulation in arid area, established the model of oasis stable, efficient and sustainable development, and constructed the theoretical framework of ecological environment evolution and regulation in arid area of western China.
Fourth, devote to discipline construction and cultivate academic teams.
Professor Pan Xiaoling devoted a lot of energy to the discipline construction and the cultivation of academic team. She put forward the discipline development strategy of "basing on advantages, strengthening characteristics and serving Xinjiang", reconfigured and combined disciplines, and determined the construction direction of key disciplines focusing on oasis ecology, resources and environment in arid areas.
In 2000, she combined resources, environmental science and economics and established the doctoral program of "Population, Resources and Environmental Economics", which was interdisciplinary and comprehensive. The doctoral program of "Physical Geography" that she took the lead in applying for got 93.7 points in the expert evaluation of the Ministry of Education, ranking first in the country, and took the lead in building the post-doctoral workstation of the project. In 2002, the ecology discipline with her as the leader passed the demonstration of the expert group of key disciplines in the autonomous region with excellent results and was established as the key discipline in the autonomous region. In the same year, she established the "International Research Center for Sustainable Development in Arid and Semi-arid Areas" in Xinjiang in conjunction with research institutions and universities in the United States, Japan and Central Asian countries, as well as international institutions such as the United Nations Environment Programme, FAO and the World Meteorological Organization. Up to now, Pan Xiaoling has made every effort to build an international working platform integrating scientific research, international cooperation and exchange and high-level personnel training in Xinjiang, as well as an academic team composed of Chinese and foreign scientists who are United and cooperative and have a rigorous style of study, which has made outstanding contributions to the development of ecological environment discipline and the construction of research bases in Xinjiang. With her efforts, she also established the key laboratory of the Ministry of Education-Oasis Ecological Laboratory. Thanks to the excellent performance of Professor Pan Xiaoling's team, China Association for Science and Technology established the first "overseas intelligence service base" in Xinjiang University.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) serves as a demonstration base for economic construction.
Professor Pan Xiaoling attaches great importance to the transformation of scientific research achievements into real productive forces. The Wusu ten thousand mu seabuckthorn eco-economic forest base designed and planned by her has achieved remarkable ecological and economic benefits and become a model of ecological environment construction in arid areas. The construction of "Science and Technology Demonstration Base for Desertification Control on the Northern Slope of Tianshan Mountain" and "Seabuckthorn Ecological Economic Forest Base on the Southern Margin of Junggar Basin" provides a realistic model for the sustainable development of Xinjiang, and provides a scientific basis and effective service for the decision-making consultation of regional economic and social development. The Party committee and government of the autonomous region attach great importance to and highly value this. 1999, she presided over the planning, design and construction of "10,000 mu ecological and economic forest base in Wusu City", and achieved remarkable economic and social benefits. She participated in the planning and design of the "Science and Technology Demonstration Base for Desertification Control on the North Slope of Tianshan Mountain" of the State Forestry Administration, and the construction of the base has achieved initial results; In 2003, she established an ecological mulberry forage base in Dushanzi, which provided an experimental demonstration for the ecological environment construction and ecological industry development on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. At the same time, according to the idea of "combining economic development with ecological protection, combining ecological benefits with economic benefits, and combining environmental construction with ecological industry", she established a 3,000-mu "Science and Technology Demonstration Park for Ecological Industry in Arid Areas" in fukang city, which has made important contributions to the ecological environment construction and economic development in Xinjiang.
During his tenure as vice president, he was responsible for scientific research and high-tech work, the construction of innovation incubation system in Xinjiang University High-tech Zone, focusing on the construction of pioneer parks and high-tech entrepreneurship centers, and promoting the commercialization and industrialization of high-tech achievements, and made significant progress. Overseas researchers from the International Research Center for Sustainable Development in Arid and Semi-arid Areas, headed by Professor Ren Zhongfang of Pan Xiaoling, applied for the Ministry of Education's 12 "Chunhui" project, and the 1 1 project was approved and funded, which made great achievements in scientific research and international cooperation.
Six, seriously ill, the heart is working.
At the beginning of February, 2004, Professor Pan Xiaoling had to be admitted to the hospital for examination, but the next day he rushed to Qitai County from the hospital to study with the leaders of the county government how scientific research can serve the local economic development. Because of her high enthusiasm for work and persistent pursuit of science, she neglected herself excessively, and bad luck came quietly by accident. As a result of the diagnosis, Professor Pan Xiaoling was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had metastasized to the liver. But she has been with the desert for many years, facing any setbacks and misfortunes with a broad mind like a wilderness and an evergreen mind like a pine tree. This fact, like a bolt from the blue, did not crush her. The inertia of work made her stick to her job during her treatment in Beijing, Urumqi and Guangzhou. Before she died, she kept in touch with the outside world at any time by email, telephone and fax, arranged work and handled various affairs. The national 973 project "Study on Ecological Environment Evolution and Regulation in Arid Areas of Western China", for which she is the chief scientist, has entered the last year. She once asked herself or did it herself, inspiring herself and the people around her with high fighting spirit and positive attitude. For the acceptance of topics and projects, regardless of her illness, she just took off her needle and held a meeting to arrange the inspection work. With amazing perseverance, she presided over the project acceptance for three consecutive days.
In the days of serious illness, she still cares about the growth of graduate students, such as the study of freshman, the opening and field trip of sophomore, the graduation thesis and defense of junior, and the progress of doctoral programs. The torture of illness didn't make her depressed, and she expected to have more time to do the work at hand. In the last days of the struggle against the disease, Pan Xiaoling still cared about her students, the cause of ecological environment construction, and Xinjiang, a hot spot where she devoted her efforts and feelings.
She has made outstanding achievements in teaching and educating people and won a series of awards and honors. 1992 was awarded the excellent class teacher of the autonomous region; 1997 and 2002 won the "National Baosteel Excellent Teacher Award" twice; 1998 won the "Fok Ying Tung Youth Fund Award of the Ministry of Education"; 1999 was rated as "the backbone teacher of the Ministry of Education" by the Ministry of Education, and was elected as the fourth "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Xinjiang" in the same year; In 2000, he won the third "Xinjiang May 4th Youth Medal" and the title of "Advanced Worker in Autonomous Region" in the same year. 200 1, in the same year, won the title of "China Youth Science and Technology Award" and "Outstanding Expert with Outstanding Contribution in Autonomous Region"; In 2002, he won the "Top Ten Outstanding Youth Nomination Award in China"; In 2003, he won the "First Xinjiang Youth Science and Technology Award"; In 2004, he was elected as "Top Ten Teachers' Morality Model in China"; In 2005, she was nominated for "Top Ten Outstanding Women in China" and "Top Ten Outstanding Women in Xinjiang".
Professor Pan Xiaoling, with his rigorous style of study and tireless teaching spirit, has become a model of teaching and educating people in Xinjiang University, which is deeply loved by students and praised by the school. She loves the motherland, actively participates in the frontier construction, works hard, struggles tenaciously, forge ahead, climbs the peak bravely, is terminally ill and does not change her original intention, which shows the sincerity of intellectuals in serving the motherland in the new period.
