记一位老工程师孙学坚

A Senior Engineer Sun Xuejian

孙学坚出生于清末,自幼赴德留学,归国后为报效祖国,在国民政府航空部任职,积极投身抗日战争。解放后,凭借过硬的技术功底,定居上海,转行焊接。不但培养了众多技术人才,还致力于技术革新。他的一生平凡却又见证了国家的发展。如今其后人将其部分遗物捐赠给上海市历史博物馆,这些平常的物件,折射出这一时代的知识分子敢于创新、甘于奉献的精神。

Born in the late Qing Dynasty, Sun Xuejian studied abroad in German since childhood and dedicated himself to the motherland when he returned, positively joining the antiJapanese War as a member of the Aviation Department of the National Government. After liberation, he settled down in Shanghai with excellent technical skills and switched to welding. Sun not only fostered numerous technical talents but also committed to technical innovation, living an ordinary life but meanwhile witnessing the development of the country. Today, his decedents have donated some of his legacies to Shanghai History Museum, which though common, reflect the spirit of innovation and dedication of the intellectuals of that era and also the little things during the development of New China.
