BY:

ILLUSTRATION ONE;
FIRST MEETING OF THE THIRD BOARD OF GOVERNORS
From 13
to
17 November,
1989,
the Chinese Society for the Somatic Sciences
held
its second All-China Academic Symposium
in Beijing.
Delegates from all
over China and friends invited from Japan and the United
States attended,
totalling
233 persons.
On 14 November,
the symposium held its opening ceremonies.
The vice
president
of
the society.
Comrade He Chongyan presided over the symposium and
welcomed
the delegates
from China and from foreign countries
on behalf
of
the
Society.
President Zhang Zhenyuan summarized the study and experiences,
and
the further determination
of
the philosophy
of Marxism as
the leading ideology
since
the founding
of
the society.
He summed up the application
of
the
advanced accomplishments
of modern science and technology and
the absorbing
of
the essence
of
China's ancient culture and
the dedicated spirit
of
those
working on
the field
of
somatic science.
These are the basic guarantees
of
the
success
in somatic science endeavors
in China.
With several years
of hard
work,
there has been several gratifying achievements
in academic construction
in somatic sciences,
and furthermore,
the research corps
in somatic sciences
is
gradually being expanded,
consolidated and improved.
A fair amount
of progress
has also been made
in organizational
construction.
At
the present
time the
society has already grown
to 245 members,
and as many as 53.5 percent
of
the
members are research workers with high
level
positions.
Such
a high quality
corps
is not
a simple
thing.
The serious academic attitude adopted by the
Chinese Society for the Somatic Sciences since its preparatory days has been
further perfected and fostered
in these past
few years,
and president Zhang
Zhenhuan's speech was
a great encouragement
to all
the delegates.
Academic exchanges began on the 14th.
The meetings were chaired by vice
president Xu
Lanxu
and standing president
Chen Shouliang.
Those reading their
papers were
in order:
Lin

emphasized
five basic points
in developing research
in somatic sciences:
1.
It,
is necessary
to firmly establish
the concept
of
the human body
as
an
open,
complex giant-scale
system.
2.
The question
of
methodology
is studying
this
open,
complex giant-scale system.
3.
We must continue
to probe deeper
into
our research into phenmenological questions.
4.
The determinant and non
determinant questions
in somatic science.
5.
Qigong
is
a stepping stone
to
success
in somatic science,
and electromagnetic waves may be
a
clue,
but.
they
are not
the basic nature.
Comrade
Chen Xin expressed his hopes
that
the
workers
in somatic science would strive
to improve
their own scientific levels,
and continue
to expand
their own
areas
of
knowledge,
that
they would give
full
play the greatest intelligence
of
the Chinese people
and dedicate themselves
to
science.
That
they would overcome
all obstacles,
triumph over
all
interference,
and unit
to further advance the study
of
somatic science.
Chairman
of
the Biology Department
of
the Natural
Science Foundation,
professor
Sheng Zujia took part
in
the symposium throughout
the agenda and took part
in
the team meetings.
At
the closing ceremonies he talked
about his
impressions
of
the symposium and was greatly inspiring
to those attending
the symposium.
China's famous scientists,
professors Zhao Zhongshao and Yang Longsheng
and
the
former secretary
of
the Secretariat
of

Committee on Scientific
Cooperation,

discussions.
Finally,

the wishes
of
one central
responsible comrade for
the successful
symposium.
He also
enthusiastically quoted
a line from a poem by Xue Lai,
"Winter
is here,
can
Spring be
far behind?"
to wish the early arrival
of
the Spring
of
somatic
science.
The symposium victoriously concluded amidst enthusiastic applause.
