**Abstract**
[China Superhard Materials News] On April 16, 2013, the preparatory meeting for the Organizing Committee of the History of China's Superhard Materials Industry took place in Huangshan, Anhui. Over 100 participants, including representatives from the China Superhard Materials Association and senior industry experts from across the country, attended the event. Notable speakers at the meeting included Professors Wang Guangzu, Fang Xiaohu, and Shen Dongtong—renowned figures in the superhard materials sector. The gathering was chaired by Zhu Feng, the chairman of the Superhard Materials Association.
The meeting aimed to lay the groundwork for the publication of *Fifty Years of China’s Superhard Materials Industry*, a key celebration marking five decades of development in the field. This initiative was launched and organized by six national industry organizations and research institutions under the United Nations Superhard Materials Association. The event focused on three main objectives: reviewing the progress of the historical project, discussing its structure, and outlining the roles and responsibilities of the organizing committee.
Professor Wang Guangzu provided an overview of the preparation work for the book. He explained that the history would be divided into two parts: *China’s Superhard Materials Industry Fifty Years* and *Recalling the Past and the Years*. He noted that the first expert meeting was held on June 15, 2012, where 18 leaders and experts discussed and finalized an implementation plan and draft outline. Later, on August 27–28, 2012, more than 50 industry leaders and scholars gathered in Zhengzhou for a plenary session to develop detailed plans, including timelines, outlines, chapter structures, and writing assignments for both volumes. The goal was to ensure that the publication would stand the test of time and serve as a valuable reference for future development in the industry.
Professor Fang Xiaohu emphasized the importance of the project, calling it a rare and meaningful milestone for the industry. He encouraged all participants to contribute their efforts to make the work a success. He also expressed gratitude to the retired professionals, entrepreneurs, and R&D personnel who had played a crucial role in the preparation of the history.
Professor Shen Dongtong added that he hoped the book would not only document the achievements of the past but also reflect the spirit of unity and harmony that characterized the industry’s development. He believed that the work should inspire future generations and highlight the unique contributions of China’s superhard materials sector.
Zhu Feng, the association chairman, concluded the meeting by highlighting the remarkable achievements of the industry over the past 50 years. He noted that the superhard materials sector is one of the few in China with strong independent capabilities. He stressed that the purpose of the historical project was to review past experiences, analyze successes and challenges, and guide future growth. He called for collaboration and unity among all involved to ensure the success of the publication.
The editorial committee was composed of key members from the Superhard Materials Association, major sponsors, and veteran industry professionals. The selection process followed strict guidelines to avoid overlapping roles and ensure balanced representation. Members were responsible for organizing the writing team, securing funding, and coordinating the overall production of the history.
The meeting successfully concluded after completing all planned tasks, marking an important step forward in the realization of *Fifty Years of China’s Superhard Materials Industry*.
