From a perspective of history and philosophy of science, the study done by Chinese scholars on historical contributions of Francis Crick is interpreted in the paper. First of all, through literature research, the Chinese understanding and interpretation of Crick's scientific research achievements is revealed. A series of commemorative articles and DNA activities in science and technology museums reflect the academic community's memory of "Crick and Watson's intelligence contributions to humankind" and enhance Crick's recognition and popularity from the academic circle to the public's vision. It is pointed out that the Chinese versions of Crick's monographs, especially the translated versions of "Amazing Hypothesis", show the degree of Chinese scholars' preference for Crick's works, and the Crick's interactions with China demonstrate the cosmopolitan style of his scientific research.
