In the first week of June 2012, there were ten thousand people in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Amid the loud singing of "Ode to the Motherland", the biennial conference of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering kicked off in the Great Hall of the People.
Party and state leaders attended this meeting and delivered important speeches, affirming the important roles played by the two houses in science and technology and other fields, and putting forward higher requirements for the development of the two houses in the new historical period.
.
After the leader's speech, the meeting progressed to the process of adding new academicians of the two academies. 52 new academicians of the two academies walked to the main stage amidst warm applause in the auditorium of tens of thousands of people.
These 52 co-opted academicians represent the highest level of contemporary scientific and technological development in China. They are all top figures in domestic science and technology or major engineering projects and have made outstanding contributions to the country in different scientific fields.
The average age of the academicians elected this time is 68 years old, the oldest is 78 years old, and the youngest academician is only 34 years old. This is also the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences since the establishment of the bicameral system.
Standing among a group of gray-haired old men, Zhuang Rui was so conspicuous that almost half of the people in the venue focused their attention on him.
Although he is the youngest among the academicians elected this time, Zhuang Rui's election was the smoothest.
In the early stages of the selection, some people questioned Zhuang Rui's age, thinking that such a young scientist was not enough to convince the public. However, when Zhuang Rui's scientific examination results were revealed, all those who were skeptical shut their mouths.
The excavation of the tomb of the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the excavation of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, the successful salvage of a shipwreck from the Song Dynasty, and the reappearance of the Pekingese skull, a major discovery of Dunhuang culture. In the past few years, these discoveries have surprised the world again and again.
These are only Zhuang Rui's domestic scientific research achievements, but the discovery of Pirate Island, the restoration of Solomon's ruins in the African jungle, and the salvage of the gold fleet have made Zhuang Rui famous internationally, and he has become widely recognized as the most important person in contemporary times.
Outstanding explorer and scientific expedition expert.
Any one of these achievements is enough to be recorded in history. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as a scientific researcher can achieve one of these things, he can become an authority in the relevant field.
And when these achievements are concentrated in one person, it further determines Zhuang Rui's status as a leading figure in the contemporary scientific research community. During the academician selection, almost everyone unanimously passed the review of Zhuang Rui's deeds.
.
Compared with these scientific researches, the identities of Chengxi Zhuangrui's collectors and antique jade appraisal experts are also talked about.
Just one month before the meeting of the two houses, when Zhuang Rui firmly refused to accept the position of president of the Jade Association, the China Jade Association passed a resolution awarding Zhuang Rui the honorary lifelong president of the Jade Association.
Certificate, this is also the second lifetime honorary president of the Jade Association after Mr. Gu.
"My grandfather was a student of Mr. Li Siguang and a geologist. I am very excited to be standing here today. In the days to come, I will make new contributions to the country's scientific research.
!”
Zhuang Rui's brief speech made everyone in the venue stand up and thunderous. Zhuang Rui won his own glory with his achievements that shocked the world. In February 2013, he was only elected as one of the two
Eight months after becoming an academician of the Academy, Zhuang Rui led the Peking University archaeological team to unearth a large tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Anyang, Henan. This text was provided by Qihang Update Team Qishen
In this tomb from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of gold, silver, bronze, iron, jade, bone, lacquer, porcelain, glazed pottery, pottery and other artifacts were unearthed, as well as armor, swords, chains, chisels, etc.
There are more than 10,000 weapons in total.
What excited Zhuang Rui and others the most was the discovery of a male skeleton in the main chamber of the tomb, and a tombstone unearthed under the Putao in front of the main chamber, which stated that this was the tomb of Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After DNA identification of the bones in the tomb, the archaeological team finally announced to the outside world that this large tomb in Anyang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was the tomb of Cao Cao, which has been said to have seventy-two suspicious tombs for thousands of years.
This discovery caused a huge sensation in the domestic academic community. Although many people raised doubts, in the face of conclusive evidence, these skeptical voices disappeared one after another. Zhuang Rui also proved that his academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is
Well-deserved. In August 2015, Ouyang Gang passed away at the age of 103.
Although Zhuang Rui continued to use spiritual energy to comb the old man's body for a period of time before Ouyang Gang's death, Ouyang Gang's time had come and Zhuang Rui was unable to save his life and could only accept this fact.
After appeasing his mother, Zhuang Rui devoted himself to work. In the following years, he continued to unearth ancient celebrity tombs with great historical significance and rescued a large number of precious national cultural relics. In December 2016, a British family
A well-known media group has compiled statistics on the number of foreign tourists visiting museums around the world last year.
The Dingguang Museum in China received 10,000 foreign tourists, second only to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in the United States, and surpassed the British Museum and the Louvre in the United Kingdom, ranking second in the world. In June 2017, an authoritative museum in the United States
The data statistics company, after a series of surveys and statistics around the world, announced the ranking of world-famous comprehensive museums last year.
In this ranking, China's Dingguang Museum has successfully squeezed out Russia's State Hermitage Museum, ranking among the top four in the world for the first time after the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of America.
Among the ranks of major museums. In August 2017, Zhuang Rui took his family on a six-month round-the-world trip on the "Xuan Rui" and lived on the fully built "Xuan Rui Island"
for a while.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhuang Rui just went on a round-the-world trip, but no one knew that in the process, Zhuang Rui recorded the coordinates of all sunken ships on the seabed in detail. From 2018 to 2000, Zhuang Rui spent three years
In 2006, large-scale salvage operations were carried out in the Pacific and Atlantic waters, and a total of more than 60 sunken ships from the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain, Portugal and other countries were salvaged.
Although Zhuang Rui has never announced the total value of the items salvaged from the sunken ship, people have drawn a conclusion based on the newly opened exhibition hall of Dingguang Museum that Zhuang Rui's wealth salvaged this time is at least more than 20 billion US dollars.
This shipwreck salvage also solidified Zhuang Rui's reputation as the greatest explorer of the century. Everyone who has heard of Zhuang Rui's deeds talks about his experience of making a fortune. In 2022, Uncle De and Mr. Gu
In addition, three elderly professors, Professor Meng, passed away one after another, and Zhuang Rui held a disciple's ceremony for three days. The deaths of three mentors who were of great significance to his life made Zhuang Rui depressed for a long time.
However, remembering Professor Meng's instructions before his death, Zhuang Rui cheered up and led the elite archaeological team of Peking University to conduct comprehensive surveys and technical preparations for the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
In early 2025, after approval by relevant national departments, Zhuang Rui spent hundreds of millions of yuan and spent two years building a vacuum chamber that can be said to be the world's largest directly above Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. At the end of 2026, the excavation work of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum was officially launched.
Activated, the eternal emperor who had been buried underground for thousands of years finally appeared in the world.
Due to the perfection and fullness of the preliminary preparations, this mining operation did not cause any damage to the cultural relics unearthed in the mausoleum.
The excavation of Qin Shihuang's tomb can be called the pinnacle of world archaeological success and an extremely important turning point in the world's modern archaeological history. It is called the greatest scientific expedition event in human history!
More than 500,000 cultural relics were unearthed from the mausoleum, each of which is a priceless treasure. According to the "Historical Records of Qin Shihuang", "Collect the troops from all over the world, gather them in Xianyang, sell them as bell keys, and build twelve golden figures. Each of them weighs thousands of stones and places them in the palace."
." The discovery of the twelve golden statues shocked the whole world.
Zhuang Rui and relevant departments spent about three years and nearly 10 billion to transform the entire underground imperial tomb into a magnificent museum.
The shot of Zhuang Rui holding the golden statue has become an unsurpassed classic in the history of archeology. The excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang has eclipsed all the collections in the world. If you want to thoroughly study them, it may take dozens or even hundreds of years.
A hundred years of time.
Who knows that unforeseen circumstances can happen and people can have misfortunes and misfortunes. Just when Zhuang Rui's career reached its peak and he was immersed in his work, Ouyang Wan suddenly fell ill. After Zhuang Rui heard the news, he rushed from Xi'an.
When I arrived in Beijing, my mother had passed away.
Ouyang Wan's death made Zhuang Rui grieve and blame himself. After taking care of his mother's funeral, Zhuang Rui, who had known his destiny, held a press conference and made a decision that shocked the world's archaeological community: he
I decided to quit the scientific research community and spend more time with my family.
After the press conference, Zhuang Rui resigned as a professor at Peking University and all domestic positions, and handed over all domestic industries to his adult children to take care of. With his wife and the white lion who had already set a record for the longest life span of a dog,
And all the partners in the manor have disappeared from the country.
A year later, a bronze sculpture of Zhuang Rui was erected in front of the Dingba Museum and the Institute of Archeology of Peking University.
This was specially built by the state in recognition of Zhuang Rui's significant contribution to the archeology of the Middle Kingdom. He is also the only master-level figure alive who can enjoy such treatment.
But since then, Zhuang Rui has never appeared in any public place. As time goes by, people will only remember this greatest archaeologist in the century in front of the Dingguang Museum and the Beijing University Research Institute.
Home.
"Hey, Mu Mu, why don't you look older? Your skin is still so good, and so is Peng Fei. Is it because he was raised by the soil overseas?"
A group of guests were welcomed on Zhuang Rui's "Xuan Rui Island". It had been five years since he retired from the scientific research community. Zhuang Rui had only returned to the country once, but every year, old friends
I always come to his island for a little get-together.
Huangfu Yun and his wife, Liu Chuan and his wife, Zhou Rui and Peng Fei's family, four die-hard brothers from the university, Ouyang Jun who calls him "old-hearted" all day long, and Miao Feifei who has already solved the knot with Zhuang Rui.
, all took Zhuang Rui’s Xuan Rui Island as their gathering place.
However, time flies, and these people are all old men and women in their fifties. Time has left imprints on each of their faces. Everyone's temples are a little gray, but their bodies are all strong.
But Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing didn't seem to have changed much. Except for a few wrinkles inadvertently exposed at the corners of their eyes, no one could tell that they were still in their fifties.
"I allowed you to settle here a long time ago, and I couldn't let you go. Are you envious now?"
Zhuang Rui laughed loudly after hearing Liu Chuan's words. He sincerely hoped that all these old friends could come to Xuanrui Island to live, but at present, it seems that only Peng Fei and his wife can endure the loneliness and live with him.
In this paradise.
Of course, Peng Fei and his wife, who were often secretly groomed by Zhuang Rui with spiritual energy, looked much younger than others. Liu Chuan's statement was also true for Heng.
"Forget it, Leilei and I are still planning to travel around the world. When we get tired of playing outside, we will come back to live..."
Although life on Xuanrui Island is not boring, and it is not far from a prosperous city like the United States, "Liu" still didn't live long. He stayed for at most a month at a time before crying to go back.
"This is also your home, everyone is welcome to stay at any time,"
Zhuang Rui raised his glass with a smile. He was very satisfied with his current life and had become accustomed to the lazy sunshine in the Caribbean. Every day, he sat and basked in the sun with his old friend Bai Shi, who was no longer willing to move around.
One thing Rui Duo likes to do.
Time flies, and another twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. In a courtyard house in Beijing that is no longer in existence, a white-haired old woman is sitting under a big tree, holding a book in her hand, and reading quietly.
One day, a little boy of seven or eight years old who looked like a tiger-headed boy ran out of the house in the courtyard, naughtily snatched the book from his grandma's hand, and said: "Grandma, grandma, are you reading this book again? Give it to Xiao Ruirui.
Let’s talk about Grandpa Zhuang’s story again…” This text is provided by Qihang Update Team Qishen Qishen
"Didn't you meet Grandpa Zhuang last year?"
Lao Ji sat up with a smile on her face. Her thoughts flew to an island far away overseas. Because everyone was older, the gathering once a year became once every five years.
Liu Chuan's voice was still as loud as ever, and Weiwei still cracked harmless jokes. Brother Yue Jing, who had resigned from the post of secretary of a province, was ridiculed by everyone because of the little official dignity left on his face.
About to jump into the sea.
Fortunately, all the old friends are here, and there are more and more children. Every gathering is very lively, and Miao Feifei also has some thoughts of settling on Dong Rui Island.
"Grandma, grandma, why does Grandpa Zhuang look as young as Dad? I think we should call him uncle instead of Yecha..." The seven or eight-year-old child already had his own opinion. He pointed to the title page of the book in his hand and opened it.
The old woman's thoughts were interrupted.
"Silly boy, Grandpa Zhuang is different from ordinary people..." Miao Feifei laughed when she heard this, and the wrinkles on her face relaxed.
"Why is it different? Is it because his story was written into a book?" the child asked.
"Yes, that's wrong. You'll understand after you understand the story in the book." The old man smiled and touched the child's head.
