5.4 Activities 
In late 70th and the beginning of 80th of last century, Chinese 
Society of Geodesy, Photogrammetry and Cartography 
(CSGPC) was authorized to be the adhering body to ISPRS, 
ICA, FIG, and IUGG/IAG. Since that time, CSGPC has 
participated in each delegate congress and academic meeting. 
Many members of CSPGS assume positions in these 
organizations. For instance, professor Jun CHEN was elected 
as the chairman of the 2nd Committee of ISPRS in the year 
2000-2004. The 2nd technology committee academic meeting 
of ISPRS was hold in Xi'an in August 2002. In 2000, 
Department of State granted the 21st delegate congress of 
ISPRS to be hold in Beijing. Professor Li LI, Kai YANG and 
Junyong CHEN take part in the activities of ICA, FIG and 
IUGGMAG. At the same time, some members of CSGPS are 
participating in activities in the domain of earth observing. 
Professor Deren LI and associate professor Liangming LIU as 
China representatives are participating in the activities of the 
international organizations such as CEOS, IGOS-P, or GEO. 
6. IN MEMORIAM 
We regret to announce the death of prof. Zhizhou WANG, in 
May 18, 2002, our honorable member of ISPRS, honorable
