在中国地质科学发展初期的20年代末,有一位出类拔萃的青年地质学家,人们赞誉他是“石炭纪地层论战的主将,葛利普老师的畏友”。他是谁?他就是过早罹难的地质学家赵亚曾先生。这位才华横溢的青年地质学家,于1929年11月25日在云南进行地质调查时,不幸突遭大股土匪行劫,被枪击毙命,死时年仅31岁。赵亚曾的遇难,一方面固然是我国地质界的巨大损失,而另一方面,遗下了一个孤儿寡妇的家庭,这在旧中国,他们的命运会是如何呢?半个世纪过去 At the beginning of the development of geosciences in China in the late 1920s, there was an outstanding young geologist who praised him as “the master of polemics in the Carboniferous strata, the fellow friend of Mr. Gelip.” Who is he?

In the old China, what was their fate? Half a century has passed
