First email copy mail topic: China's first email email is very good: cross the Great Wall, go to the world. This is China's first e-mail to the Global Science Network through a network connection between Beijing and Germany Karlsruhe. On August 8, 2003, China Internet Development Report was published in China, China Internet Development Report, China Internet Development Report, was published in China for the first time, China's first newspaper on China's first email. On August 19, the reporter turned to find one of the participants who sent the email at the time, he introduced the reporter to the reporter about many of the stories of this email. These for today's netizens may be a mysterious and valuable memory.
CNNIC investigation mystery email drops 16 years ago, send information in virtue
In the second half of last year, ANNMARIE, Chinese Internet Information Center, is entrustted by CNNIC, starting to find the drops of the first e-mail issued by China.
"At that time, the clues from China's first email were not very clear." Amalie has repeatedly requested the relevant departments and experts from the United States to the international long distance calls, check, but China's official information The information of a message has been eloquent, and Amalie only got the reply of "mail and Germany".
With the help of the Information Department of the South California, Amali finds from tens of millions of data information. "The message was first sent to the University of Carlsru, Germany." Immediately, Amalie rushed to Karsruhe the University.
At the University of Karlsruhe, Amali saw a member of the sender of the mail, and was told that "the email from China still reserves". After a short search, the first email issued from China is truly open. The mail copy shows that the message is "AcrossthegreatwallWecanreacheverycornerNerintheworld. (Crossing the Great Wall, going to the world)" is issued by the China Weapon Industrial Computer Application Institute at 20:55 (Beijing time) on September 20, 1987.
Amalie brought the mail in China to China and was stored in China's Internet Information Center.
The first email does not have a specific recipient's substantive content to greet the world.
With the printing of the first email, the reporter found Li Cheng, the old man of the Director of the China Weapon Industrial Computer Application Research Institute.
"That is a computer international network cooperation project of the China Weapon Industrial Computer Application Institute and the Si Deban Government. Sending the first e-mail is to complete the entire study group." Li Chengyu said that in addition to ourselves, the study group at the time Members also include Technical Consultant Wang Yunfeng (now the world), Teaching Professor, University of Carlsru, Germany, and other colleagues.
Since 1986, the research team began to design and experiment on a Siemens 7760 large computer. At that time, there was no member of the International Computer Data Communication Network CSNET, so the computer can only be connected to the international network through the "transfer" of the University of Carlsru, Germany. "And there is no internet concept, in terms of computer applications, developed countries have alert to us, intentionally set some 'barriers', compatible with computer hardware and software is very prominent." Until July 1987, Professor, from Germany, is compatible with compatible system software, and research institutes have technical conditions with international network interconnection and email.
On the evening of September 14, everyone gathered around "7760" and started the test sent by emails, and marked "Testing" in the mail. Li Chengyu proposed that the content of the mail is "crossed the Great Wall," Trend World ", he believes that" This is in line with China's actual development status. "Subsequently, Professor Benefits According to this, quickly knocked English email on the computer display. However, several times, both the computer displays the delivery failure. Experts have to reclaim the computer's system and hardware facilities, which takes the process for a week.
On September 20, 1987, the research team was ready to send an email to the International Computer Network "Crossing the Great Wall, Town to the World." "This is an email that does not have a specific recipient." Li Cheng said that the role of the email is equivalent to a "online paging", I hope the outside world has received the sound from China's computer network. At 20:55, as the keyboard is tapped, the last "Bar" is issued, the "send completion" is flashed on the computer screen.
Congratulations on emails from all over the world to successfully dialogue to improve China's network image
"This means that China will be able to communicate and exchange information from almost all universities and research centers in Europe and the United States and the Pacific region." Li Cheng said that after the success of email, the research institute continued to receive from France, Reply emails in the United States and other countries, including overseas Chinese overseas Chinese, referring to the company, also have good recommendations and Unicom's willingness to benefit foreign friends. Later, Professor Wang Yunfeng also won the Big Cross Medal issued by the German President.
After successful with the international computer network, China Weapon Industrial Computer Application Research Institute has become the only entrance to China's entrance to International Technology Network. Through this entrance, more than 20 higher colleges and research institutions such as Peking University, Zhejiang University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been logged in to the International Science and Technology Network and enjoy online resources and exchange information. Li Chengyu recalled: "The most beneficial I am afraid it is a national observatory, because the experts engaged in astronomical research needs more often to conduct academic exchanges with international peers."
Talking about these students, another retired expert, said: The first successful dialogue is actually an important international cooperative issue, which has changed the international image of China's computer development, and promotes network application technology. Offs important significance. And Amali's image called Wang Yunfeng and other experts called "taking the scriptures". She believes that they introduce network technology into China, so that China has achieved dialogue between international networks in relatively early period.
