At the "20 19 Seeking Truth Award Ceremony" held in Tsinghua University, this year's "Seeking Truth for Life Achievement Award" was awarded to the Nobel Prize winner in physics, Yang Zhenning. The bonus is RMB 3 million. In the past history of the Foundation, there was only one winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, that is, Mr. Zhou, a senior consultant of the Foundation and the founder of "Two Bombs and One Satellite".
Yang Zhenning deserves such an award. He is a leader in physics, one of the greatest physicists in the past thousand years, and the only physicist on this list who thinks he is still alive. Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize for the non-conservation of the universe.
Yang Zhenning is recognized by foreign countries as a great theoretical physicist in the world, and the outside world only pays attention to his anecdote. He once wrote an article with a group of China scientists to defend the Diaoyu Islands.
He never forgot that he came from China. There may be other reasons for not returning to China before, but there is no denying his contribution to our country.
At the age of 95, Mr. Yang Zhenning resumed his nationality in China. Mr. Yang Zhenning assisted or directly established more than 60 domestic first-class physics laboratories, and raised about $2 billion in scientific research funds for Tsinghua University and Nankai University.
More than 30 SCI papers have been published in the name of Tsinghua University, which has improved the scientific research level of cold atoms and condensed matter physics for decades and won great honor for China in the world scientific community. Under his influence, Mr. Yang Zhenning recommended more than 65,438+0,200 young scholars to visit and further their studies abroad, and most of them returned to China to become the pillars of the scientific community. As an outstanding representative of Chinese in the world. Mr Lao Yang is enough to go down in history.
