ABSTRACT
Earlier in 2019, a non-fiction biography titled Less Words but Earnestly Practice-My Father Chuangan Zhang was published in Beijing, China. The subject of the biography is Professor Chuangan Zhang, an old-generation petroleum geologist in China. The author is Professor Zhang’s youngest daughter, Mrs. Erping Zhang, a scholar who studies the history of Chinese geological sciences but has now retired. The book uses refined language to tell the story of Professor Zhang’s life, especially his experience of studying and looking for oil in the northwest during the turbulent World War II. It also tells the fate of intellectuals before and after the change of power in China, as well as the patriotism and ambitions, personal ups and downs, and various opportunities and hardships of Chinese intellectuals in the great era.
