When Xiong was in Wuhan, Zhejiang University had moved to Taihe. One day, he saw the notice from the Chinese and British board of directors and learned that the government had temporarily suspended the official fee examination for studying in the UK because of the unstable situation. The Sino-British Geng Fund is used to fund the research of China scientists. At that time, before he had a job, he applied for the Sino-British Geng Fund and published two papers. A few months later, he learned in Chongqing that his application was approved. At that time, Zhejiang University moved to Yishan, Guangxi to resume classes. So he accepted the Sino-British Geng Fund and came to Yishan to engage in research with Sue.
When Xiong arrived in Yishan on March 1939, Su sent his family back to their hometown in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province, but they had not yet arrived at school. Chen He, a professor of civil engineering, has no family to share a big room. There is a small room in front of the gate, which is unoccupied. He rented it and lived there. They took turns cooking porridge for three mornings and bought some steamed buns for breakfast in a nearby restaurant. The bear slowly learned this. He misses this unforgettable experience: "Teacher Chen and Teacher Chen get up early every day. On the day when it was my turn to cook porridge, I had to get up early to cook porridge for them. At that time, I was very young and liked to go to bed early. It is difficult for me to get up early, but I have no choice but to obey the majority. "
Soon, Sue came to Yishan and wanted to live with Chen and others, but there was no room, so he and the bear were crowded in that small room. The bear was overjoyed. In the bear's mind, the scene at that time often haunted him: "Teacher Su gets up early every morning and never urges me to get up early. He also participated in our dinner organization. On the recommendation of Mr. Chen, I am responsible for booking lunch and dinner and all the accounts for the four of us. Mr. Chen drinks one or two glasses of Shaoxing wine every meal. I always order a side dish (such as boiled chicken, a famous dish of Guangdong and Guangxi) to serve him wine. When the four of us wanted to talk, we were in Mr. Chen's big room and talked about everything. Teacher Chen and Teacher Su rest assured that I won't take a message, so they often discuss the administration of the Department of Mathematics in front of me. "
Japanese planes bombed Yishan once, and people evaded the alarm every day. After living here for more than a year, the research work of bears has never been interrupted. He stayed with Sue day and night and asked him for advice at any time, so the research results were remarkable. In Yishan, Xiong wrote five papers.
Due to the war, contacts and exchanges with foreign countries were almost completely cut off. Academic research is like building a car behind closed doors, and it is difficult to go out. At the beginning of 0940, the China Cultural Foundation announced that it would still fund scientists to engage in research abroad (at that time, they could only go to the United States, not Europe). Xiong wants to apply to the University of Chicago to work with Professor E.P. Lane (a famous American projective differential geometer). Su He wrote a letter of recommendation. One day, Zhu Kezhen, president of Zhejiang University, came back from a meeting in Chongqing and told Su that he had met Mr. Jiang Lifu in Chongqing. Mr. Jiang is interested in Xiong's application, but thinks he should go to Princeton University instead of Chicago University. Zhu Kezhen immediately said that he should go back to Sue for advice. Sue and Xiong both thought it was better to go to Princeton University, so they asked Zhu Kezhen to convey this opinion to Jiang Lifu. When Bear, Zhu Kezhen and Sue are happy, who knows?
Nanning was captured by the Japanese, and Liuzhou was in a hurry. Yishan and Liuzhou are close at hand and are in danger. In the spring of 0940, Zhejiang University moved from Yishan to Zunyi, Guizhou. The situation here is relatively stable. Su continued to teach projective differential geometry, and instructed Xiong, Zhang Sucheng, Bai Zhengguo and Wu Zuji to engage in scientific research. The atmosphere was quite warm. Later, the school authorities felt that this place was too small for the development of the school. 38660 . 6868686866 1
Bear enjoys Sino-British Geng grant. After studying in Zhejiang University for two years, Chen and Su transferred him to Zhejiang University as a lecturer, and two years later he was promoted to associate professor. This position was quickly approved by the Ministry of Education.
During the Anti-Japanese War, professors (including associate professors) were not allowed to go abroad unless invited by foreign countries. One day in Meitan, Zhu Kezhen told Su that Zhejiang University had established a cultural exchange relationship with India, and wanted to send bears to India to study for a year or two, and asked Su to ask the bears for advice. Although Indian research conditions are better than China's, Xiong has always wanted to go to the United States to do research. It may be more difficult to go to the United States from India than directly from China. So he decided not to go to India. Sue Qing Bu wrote to Professor N Weiner at MIT and asked him for help. Unfortunately, MIT has no chance. Xiong wrote letters to Professor Ryan of the University of Chicago and Professor V.G. Grove of Michigan State University. Grove has made considerable contributions to projective differential geometry. He studied for his doctorate with Professor E.J.Wilczynski at the University of Chicago. At that time, all the papers published by Xiong in Mathematical Review were written by Grove. Shortly after the letter was sent, Grove wrote back to offer Xiong a research assistant scholarship with a monthly salary of $75 and exemption from all tuition and fees. The bear was so excited that Sue and Zhu Kezhen agreed. It was 1943. Bear's wife, Ms. Yu, also wants to study in America together. In his reply to Grove, the bear asked him for help. Soon, Grove gave Yu a tuition-free scholarship certificate.
1in the spring of 944, Xiong left Meitan for Chongqing to go abroad. First, it must be approved by the Ministry of Education, and then he applies for a passport and foreign exchange from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance respectively. At that time, the government temporarily banned professors from going abroad, and it was difficult to relax the restrictions. Moreover, the government often changes people, so it has been used for more than a year. I didn't get my passport and foreign exchange until 1945 when Japan surrendered. There was the last passenger plane from Chongqing to Kolkata, India. If I don't take this plane, I will wait for half a year, and then take a boat from Shanghai to San Francisco after sailing between China and the United States. However, after I arrive in Calcutta, I may have to wait a long time to reach the United States. The bear has been waiting in Chongqing for too long. After a long time, he got bored and finally decided to go to America via India.
