These old objects tell people about the efforts of Zhong Zhaolin, the father of generator (发电机) and professor of Xian Jiaotong University, and also show the development of higher education in western China.
Zhong Zhaolin was born in 1901 and taught at Shanghai Jiaotong University. In 1933, he led the students to design the first generator in China.

However. it was very difficult for him to move to school in 1957. At that time, he was older and his wife was in poor health. He could have stayed in Shanghai. But he said, "I must not break faith with the northwest people!"
In this way he left his sick wife in Shanghai to her daughter to take care of, leaving his two sons in the north. He simply brought some daily necessities, and set foot on the train to the west alone.
