另一种抗战:抗战期间以秉志为核心的中国科学社同仁在上海

抗战期间,与大后方的学人相比,沦陷区一批保持民族气节、潜心向学的科学工作者,除生活困苦之外,还面临生命危险等更为严重的压力。秉志与刘咸、杨孝述等中国科学社核心成员,在沦陷区上海克服各种困难维持中国科学社社务,继续发刊《科学》、《科学画报》,坚持明复图书馆的开放,提供了科学交流的平台,记载了科学进步的历程,保存了中国科学发展的火种;千方百计坚持科学研究,并关注后辈学人的成长,为战后中国科学的发展奠定了坚实的基础;他们深知科学在抗战中的作用,毅然走出书斋,以自己之所长,通过《科学》、《科学画报》、《申报》等媒介发表言论,宣扬科学抗战报国、抗战救国、抗战建国。他们的对敌斗争与抗战期间的所作所为,与真枪实弹的正面战场、敌后游击战、沦陷区的谍报战一起,构成了中华民族反抗外敌入侵的壮丽画卷,展现了一代知识分子不畏强敌的崇高情怀与情操,是名副其实的另一种抗战。

Another War: A Study on Ping Chi and His Colleagues of the Science Society of China in Shanghai During the Anti-Japanese War

During the Anti-Japanese War,compared with those in"Free China",scientists in the enemy-occupied area who wished to continue their research yet retain their integrity faced extreme hardship,even risking their lives. Ping Chi,Liu Xian,Yang Xiaoshu and other members of the Science Society of China in Shanghai in 1937 ～ 1945 overcame all manner of difficulties to keep the Society active,continuing to publish the journals Science and Science Pictorial,and keeping open the Hu Tah Mingfu library. Their efforts to maintain scientific communication,promote and document research,and nurture young scholars helped to lay the foundations for post-war Chinese scientific development. Understanding the importance of science in the War of Resistance,they published numerous articles in Science,Science Pictorial,and Shun Pao promoting the ideals of serving,saving and building China with scientific knowledge. Their struggle against the enemy during the war dem- onstrates the lofty sentiments of a generation of intellectuals,and is worthy of being called"another war".
