Ren Hong-jun was one of the principal founders and leaders of the Science Society of China and had long been in charge of the journal Science (Ke Xue) . In August,2002,the impressive book ,with 800 thousand words,was published. Today,as reading it once again,I am even more deeply moved and have the greatest esteem for the founders of the Science Society of China. In the present paper,five topics as follows are reviewed: (1) To be aware of what science is, (2) To understand the method of science, (3) To comprehend the spirit of science, (4) To take science as a national policy,and (5) To expound science and education, in order to interpret the tremendous efforts of Ren Hong-jun and his colleagues who worked on arousing the awareness about science in Chinese people,as well as to congratulate the Science Society of China on its hundredth birthday.%任鸿隽是中国科学社最主要的发起人和领导者之一，并长期担任《科学》杂志负责人。2002年8月，洋洋80万言的《科学救国之梦——任鸿隽文存》（樊洪业、张久春选编，上海科技教育出版社、上海科学技术出版社）面世。如今中华民族伟大复兴之梦深入人心，重读《科学救国之梦》亦令人分外感念百年前中国科学社的始建者们。本文就知晓科学为何物、了解科学之方法、领悟科学之精神、把科学当作国策、阐释科学与教育这五个方面，分述任鸿隽等前辈学人为唤起国人科学意识所作的努力，兼庆中国科学社百年华诞。
