The year 2019 marks the 90th Anniversary of the Palaeontological Society of China. On August 31, 1929,ten persons of China's first generation of palaeontologists, including Ding Wen-jiang, Li Si guang, Yang Zhongjian, Grabau A. W. of Peking University and a few others, met together to have the founding assembly of the Palaeontological Society of China in Beiping (i, e. Beijing), and elected Sun Yun-zhu as the first society president. On September 17 of the same year, the first academic symposium was held at the Geological Survey of Beiping. However, in the following two decades, because of the troubled times and the people even had no means of livelihood which resulted in the standstill of academic work. Until December 25,1947, palaeontologists in China held the Resurrection Conference of Palaeontological Society of China in Nanjing. The old China struggled with poverty, domestic strife and foreign aggression for several tens of years, in such difficult conditions from the founding assembly to the resurrection conference, Chinese palaeontologists pioneered a solid foundation for developing palaeontology in China with spirit of great perseverance.
