Abstract
Tao Xingzhi was the initiator of science education in China. He initiated the ‘marrying science with the public’ movement in 1931, which formed the starting point of modern science education in China. The two cores of the movement are science popularization and saving the nation through science education. Looking back at the history of nearly ninety years, China has been exploring and developing both of these cores. Today, the thought of Tao’s science education is still alive.Keywords
