Bole Xiong Qinglai of China Mathematics &; When people praise a swift horse, they always think of Bole who knows horses. China's scientific community will never forget his teacher, Xiong Qinglai, the pioneer of modern mathematics in China, when praising China. & Xiong Qinglai (1893- 1969), a native of Maitreya, Yunnan Province, was admitted to colleges and universities in Yunnan Province at the age of 18. At the age of 20, he went to Belgium to study mining, and then went to France to study and get a doctorate. He mainly engaged in the research of function theory, and defined an "infinite order function", which is called bear infinity internationally. & Xiong Qinglai loves education and has made outstanding contributions to the cultivation of scientific talents in China. 1930, when he was the head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, he found Hua's name from academic magazines. After learning about Hua's self-study experience and mathematical talent, he resolutely broke away from convention and invited Hua, who was only 19 years old and had a junior high school education, to Tsinghua University. Under the training of Xiong Qinglai, Hua later became a famous mathematician. Many famous scientists in our country are his students. When he was over 70 years old, although he was paralyzed, he was still ill and supervised two graduate students, namely young mathematicians Yang Le and Zhang Guanghou. & Xiong Qinglai's noble character of cherishing and cultivating talents is highly praised and admired by people. As early as 192 1, when he was a professor at Southeast University (the predecessor of Nantah), he found that a student named Guang Liu was very talented and often instructed him to study. Later, together with a professor who taught in Guang Liu, * * * sponsored Guang Liu from a poor family to go abroad for further study and sent him living expenses on time. On one occasion, Xiong Qinglai even sold his fur robe and sent money to Guang Liu. After Guang Liu became a famous physicist, he often mentioned the past fondly. He said, "It was ten years before I heard that the professor sold me fur robes. I was moved to tears at that time. I will never forget this incident. How much he cares about our generation and how much enthusiasm and love he has paid! "
