中国科学院上海植物生理研究所老科学家殷宏章主动辞去所长职务,推荐中年研究员沈允钢接替他的工作。现经中国科学院党组报请中央同意,沈允钢出任该所所长,殷宏章任名誉所长。殷宏章是我国著名的植物生理学家,我国光合作用研究的开拓者之一。他从事科学研究工作达半个世纪,为我国植物生理学研究作出了可贵的贡献。党的十一届三中全会后,他积极主张担任领导职务的年事已高、身体欠佳的科学家退居二线,让年富力强、有一定学术水平的优秀科技人才担任领导工作。1981年 Yin Hongzhang, an old scientist at the Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, volunteered to resign as director and recommended Shen Yungang, a middle-aged researcher, to take over his job. Now by the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported to the Central Committee for approval, Shen Yun Gang as director of the Institute, Yin Hongzhang as honorary director. Yin Hongzhang is one of the pioneers of the research on photosynthesis in China, a famous plant physiologist in our country. He engaged in scientific research for up to half a century, for our plant physiology made a valuable contribution. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, he actively advocated that the seniority of assuming leadership positions is high and the poor body scientists are relegated to the second line to make the outstanding scientific and technological talents who are young and have a certain academic standard take the lead. 1981
