On April 28, 2022, the 40th anniversary commemorative event of Zhejiang University's fluid transmission and control discipline and the 58th anniversary symposium of Academician Lu Yongxiang's teaching were held in conference rooms 212 and 211 of Shaoke Building, Yuquan Campus. The meeting summed up the development achievements of fluid transmission and control over the past 40 years, talked about the outstanding contributions of Academician Lu Yongxiang, who cared about his country and country, pioneered and innovative, and the spirit of seeking truth from facts, rigorous and down-to-earth scholarship, inspiring teachers and students to forge ahead bravely and open up new opportunities.

The fluid transmission and control discipline of Zhejiang University was established in 1982. Over the years, the discipline has been serving the country as its highest pursuit. It has built major platforms such as the State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Electromechanical Systems, breaking through tunneling equipment and electro-hydraulic systems, ultra-high pressure and large flow Key technologies such as electro-hydraulic control components, deep-sea three-dimensional detection electromechanical systems, and lithography machine immersion systems have successfully provided technical support for major projects and major equipment in many countries, and made important contributions to the field of fluid power and electromechanical systems in my country. .

Academician Lu Yongxiang, the pioneer and founder of the discipline, successively established a fluid transmission and control laboratory and research institute in Zhejiang University, founded the Hangzhou International Conference on Fluid Transmission and Control, promoted the fluid transmission and control discipline to be rated as a national key discipline, and trained a large number of Outstanding people. During his tenure as president of Zhejiang University, he took a series of measures to deepen talent training and educational reform, and promoted the school to achieve leapfrog development.

The opening ceremony was presided over by Professor Xu Bing, Director of the Department of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering. He first introduced the guests and thanked them for their long-term care, support, guidance and assistance to the discipline. Ren Shaobo, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhejiang University, delivered a speech first. He emphasized that in the past 40 years, with the personal promotion and care and support of Academician Lu Yongxiang, the discipline of fluid transmission and control has built a high-intensity radiation social service network across the country, and created an international exchange and achievement transformation platform. , made an important contribution to serving the "bigger of the country". The school will continue to draw wisdom and strength from Academician Lu Yongxiang’s school-running strategy and school-governing philosophy, and strive to cultivate more newcomers of the era who are worthy of the great task of national rejuvenation, and make due contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Academician Yang Huayong, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, read out the letter from Academician Lu Yongxiang. Academician Lu Yongxiang wrote in his letter that in the face of new opportunities and new challenges brought about by new technologies and industrial changes, we must persist in forging ahead, unite and cooperate, and continue to make progress in design and development, achievement transformation, manufacturing services, and innovation and entrepreneurship. New achievements have been made, making positive contributions to the improvement and development of China's strong manufacturing base. It is hoped that young comrades will continue to work hard to improve the awareness, confidence and ability of independent innovation and development, strive to gather global innovation resources, adhere to the close integration of production, education, research and application, and further enhance the innovation ability and application level of my country's fluid transmission and control technology, providing innovation for enterprises and society. First-class quality products, craftsmanship, technology and services lead the century, and make unremitting efforts to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Then, enter the meeting report. The first speaker of the report was Academician Yang Huayong, who reviewed and summarized the development history and achievements of Zhejiang University's Mechanical and Electronic Engineering Discipline and State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Electromechanical Systems. The report revisited that under the leadership and guidance of Academician Lu Yongxiang, the fluid transmission and control discipline of Zhejiang University (now renamed the Mechatronics Engineering discipline) and the State Heavy Industry Laboratory promoted each other and developed together. During its glorious historical period, it has achieved fruitful results in various aspects such as scientific research and academic, teaching and educating people, thinking about party building, and social services. In the future, under the guidance of the founder and academic leader, Academician Lu Yongxiang, the discipline will continue to strive to achieve more brilliant achievements in the field of fluid power basic parts and electromechanical systems.

The speaker of the second conference report was Professor Jiao Zongxia, Director of the Fluid Power Transmission and Control Branch of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society. He gave a detailed introduction to the three important development stages of the China Fluid Power Transmission and Control Branch and the discipline. From the holding of domestic academic activities, to leading "Made in China 2025" with "innovative design", to the continuous improvement of international influence, all these are inseparable from the continuous efforts of generations of members of the society. Professor Jiao Zongxia pointed out that under the guidance of the older generation of scientists such as Academician Lu Yongxiang, the Society will continue to serve as a bridge between production, education and research, provide good services, and become a real home for scientific researchers.
