Ye Peida （1915-2011） is referred to as Father of Optical Telecommunications in China by counterparts of international communications. He made remarkable contributions to the development of Chinese microwave communications and optical communications. In 1955, he hosted the research programon microwave communication; and in 1958, he conductedsuccessfully the research work on Metallic Circular Wave-guide H01 Transmission System with CAS. Histreatise Theory of Optical Fiber is the first academic monograph about optical fibers in China. Ye Peida is also a strategic scientist of communications. He suggested that a research theme on communication high-technology should be added in National 863 Plan of China, and was a group leader of experts in Informatization Leading Group of the State Council. Besides, Ye Peida is an educationist.As one of the founders of BUPT, he haslong stressed the idea of learning for practice and combining teaching and learning with scientific research. He attached importance to scientific exchanges, and built a bridge for international academic communications.
