Li Sizhong (Chinese: 李思忠; Wade–Giles: Li Sze-Chung; February 19, 1921 – January 11, 2009) was an ichthyologist with the Institute of Zoology (中国科学院动物研究所) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Throughout his research career, he made numerous discoveries of new fish species (or subspecies), and published many books[1] and research papers[2] describing the fauna and geographical distribution of fishes in China and beyond. He translated and helped publication of the Chinese editions of Fishes of the World (2nd edition, by Joseph S. Nelson) and Fish Migration (a popular science book by Russian zoologist Peter Schmidt). Li was the major author of two published volumes in the Fauna Sinica monograph series, systematically reviewing and describing orders of bony fishes that include flat fish, cod, silverside, pearlfish, killifish, flying fish, etc. in or near China.[3][4] He had written over 40 popular science articles about fish on Chinese newspapers and magazines, and been responsible for compiling and editing fish-related entries in several standard reference books (including Encyclopedia of China and Zhonghua Dadian). His works on freshwater ichthyofauna of China as well as other aspects of ichthyology are considered to be among some of the most notable in the Chinese ichthyology literature.[5][6][7]

Early life and Education

Li Sizhong was born in a Scholar-gentry family on February 19, 1921 in the city of Huixian. His father, Li Siming was a soldier in the National Revolutionary Army. He got his education in Bailong Xia Middle School and Liji County Normal School. During the Great Patriotic War of Resistance and Defense against Japanese Aggression, Li escaped to Chungking, where he worked at the National China Scientific Research Institute of the South West, a subdivision of the Academia Sinica. He got his education in National Southwestern Associated University, known also as Lianda. He got his passion of fish after a family trip to James Aquarium in Shanghai.[8][9] It was his time in Lianda where his first research came.

Career and research

From 1937 to 1940, he studied at Liji County Normal School in Henan Province; due to the war, he wandered and traveled in Yu County, Nanyang and other places on the south bank of the Yellow River. After graduation, he was admitted to the Fushengzhuang business personnel training class of the Agricultural Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ; and then worked as a grassroots staff member of Fushengzhuang in Hancheng and other places. In 1942, he entered the Museum Department of Northwest Normal University in Lanzhou to study. After graduating in 1946, he successively worked at Kaifeng Liming Middle School and Hebei Luanxian Normal School. After the summer of 1947, he went to Shenyang at the invitation of his friend Bo Yang. At that time, the National Changbai Normal University moved from Jilin to Shenyang due to the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and taught vertebrate zoology at the school[10].

In the summer of 1948, Changbai Normal University moved south to Beiping. He was admitted to the Graduate School of Beijing Normal University and served as a teaching assistant at the Normal University.[11] He studied under Professor Zhang Chunlin, a pioneer in Chinese ichthyology research. Graduated in May 1950, and initially worked in the Compilation and Translation Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (the predecessor of the Science Press) led by Yang Zhongjian; in October 1950, the Animal Specimen Collection Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (the predecessor of the Institute of Zoology) was established in Xijiao Park, Beijing, with Chen Zhen as the front man.

He was transferred to this committee and was responsible full-time for the sorting and integration of animal specimens from the former Jingsheng Biological Survey and the Institute of Zoology of the National Peking Academy, and participated in animal research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The establishment started in the early 1950s. After the establishment of the Zoological Laboratory and the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he successively served as assistant researcher, associate researcher, and researcher. Li Served as vice chairman of the Chinese Fish Society.

Right after finishing graduate studies in ichthyology in 1950, Li initially worked on Chinese nomenclature of vertebrates, specializing in fishes, within the publication office of the newly-formed Chinese Academy of Sciences. Later in the year, he joined a team of zoologists (including Tso-hsin Cheng) engaged in consolidating and sorting out zoological specimen inherited from Fan Memorial Institute of Biology and National Academy of Peiping, two predecessors of the Academy of Sciences, in preparation of the later formation of the Institute of Zoology.[12] Within five years, a standard reference on Chinese nomenclature of vertebrates was published, with a select group of Chinese zoologists as co-authors and contributors. Among them, Li and his mentor Tchang Chun-Lin, along with Chu Yuan-Ting, were responsible for standardization of fish nomenclature in the Chinese language.

Starting from the early 1950s, Li helped to initiate and participated in China's systematic surveys of marine fishes in Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and South China Sea, along China's coast. His scientific career, however, was interrupted in 1957 when he was labelled a "rightist" during the Anti-Rightist Movement. From then until the mid-1970s, while his research and publication capacity had been severely impacted by whims of political campaigns and turmoils, he managed to conduct surveys of freshwater fishes in the Yellow River,[13][12][14][15] Ou River and Ling River, as well as in endorheic regions such as Xinjiang[16] and Gansu provinces in Western China. While blacklisted as a "rightist" and assigned to work on aquaculture-related research in the early 1960s, he discovered a salmonid fish serendipitously in the vicinity of Qinling Mountains (considered to be a glacial refugium roughly in central part of China), which is later named Brachymystax tsinlingensis Li, 1966.[17] For a relatively tranquil period of about a year before the Cultural Revolution, he was allowed to publish research results related to the salmonid fish, fishes in the Yellow River,[13] and earlier surveys of marine fishes. But only until after rehabilitation in 1978, Li was able to resume normal research activities.

In his book Studies on zoogeographical divisions for fresh water fishes of China,[18] Li divided the fauna of freshwater fishes in China into five major regions based on characteristics of fish species distributions, geographic environments and geological histories of these regions. The five freshwater regions in China are: (1) Northern region containing upper reaches of rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean, as well as Amur River and its tributaries; (2) Western China region; (3) Mongolian Plateau; (4) Eastern China region; and (5) Southern China region. According to his method, the demarcation line between Holarctic and Indomalayan realms in China, as far as freshwater fishes are concerned, lies largely along the Himalayas and Nanling Mountains ranges, where the Southern China region is basically on the south side of the Nanling Mountains, a drainage divide between the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. This idea is close to those of Wallace and Mori, and contrasts with the prevalent view of demarcation line for terrestrial animals between Holarctic and Indomalaya regions along the Qinling Mountains (known as Qinling–Huaihe Line, though the Qinling Mountains does not extend into Eastern part of China).[18] Freshwater Ecoregions of the World (FEOW), a collaborative global biodiversity project partly sponsored by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), cites this book as a source of references in delineation of freshwater ecoregions of China.[19]

Two of his books are published posthumously.[4][12] In Fishes of the Yellow River and Beyond,[12] he described over 170 native fish species and the characteristics of fish distribution in the Yellow River and its tributaries; a collection of his papers and popular science articles, as well as a personal memoir, are also included in the posthumous book published in Taiwan; this book was re-published in the mainland in 2017.[14] Comparing fish species in the Yellow River in 2010–2015 and the survey results originally reported by Li in 1965[13] as part of his research on the book, two recent Chinese studies conclude that only about half of the native fishes in the Yellow River could still be found, due to anthropogenic environmental alterations and increased presence of introduced species over the past half-century.[20][21][22] Li was also the primary contributor to a volume of the Fauna Sinica series covering the orders of Atheriniformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Beloniformes, Ophidiiformes and Gadiformes, which was published posthumously in 2011.[4] Another volume of the Fauna Sinica series which he worked on during his last years, covering fish species in China within the orders of Beryciformes, Zeiformes, Lampriformes, Gasterosteiformes, Mugiliformes and Synbranchiformes (such as soldierfish, dory, opah, ribbonfish, stickleback, mullet, swamp eel, etc.), is yet to be published.[23]

Jonathan Chu Incident

Li Sizhong had an argument with another Ichthyologist, Jonathan Chu about how anthropogenic environmental alterations and how invading species could change the pheromone levels of Himalayic Waterborne animals and Qingming Animalaic Regions This debate caused Jonathan Chu to resign from Ichthyology studies in Peking University and Jonathan Chu moved to New Jersey, where what he is currently doing is known to be a Kumon teacher, in Mercer County, New Jersey.[24][25]

Cultural Revolution Struggle Session era

Li Sze-chung survived many Struggle sessions during the Cultural Revolution, such as one in the auditorium of Urumqi National Assembly Building, where over 2800 people attended. He was also ridiculed for studying fish instead of a respectable position as a Doctor or Red Guard[26]

Late Life

Li Sze-chung, lived peacefully in his last years, in a humble palace that costed over 20 million Yuan. The palace consisted of over 200 rooms, 45 bathrooms, and nothing else, really. Li sze-chung was given a honorific Worship Ceremony, on November, 2008. Li Sze-chung died in his sleep in January 11, 2009. His funeral procession had over 1500 people attending.
