Parity nonconservative paper
However, in many other papers jointly published by Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning, Yang Zhenning's name once again appeared in front of Li Zhengdao. According to later accounts, this was put forward by Yang Zhenning. Yang Zhenning's reason is that he is several years older than Li Zhengdao. According to China's practice, he should be at the front. . .
At first, Li Zhengdao reluctantly agreed, but this request was made too much. Li Zhengdao also has his own views. He said that we should follow international practice, so Li Zhengdao ranked first in the paper on parity non-conservation.
However, because this article became famous all over the world with the verification of experiments, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics the following year, Yang Zhenning once again asked the award ceremony to walk in front of the red carpet in the name of being older. Li Zhengdao finally reluctantly agreed. . . . Ok, gossip is over _(:D)∞)_
Two families that used to be very harmonious.
Let's talk about why Yang Zhenning is famous. In China, it is obviously because of his social activities and social contributions. Although in the early days, Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning were the first scholars to visit China, and later they maintained a similar relationship with China, in his later years, Yang Zhenning had shifted the whole focus of his life and work to China, making great contributions to the cultivation and introduction of domestic academic talents. There are many articles about Yang Zhenning's contribution to China on the Internet. You can find them yourself if you are interested.
Chairman Mao received Yang Zhenning, who is visiting China.

On the other hand, Li Zhengdao stayed abroad and didn't return to China. Therefore, Yang Zhenning's popularity and reputation in China are better than Li Zhengdao's. But now there are many rhythmic keyboard players on the Internet who discredit Yang Zhenning in various ways, including life, including not returning to China in his early years and so on. . . Anyway, no one can stop Keyboard Man from blacking out the rhythm. The most helpless thing is that some people who don't know the truth follow the trend after reading a few rhythmic online articles. Every time I see these people, I get angry and want to scold the street ... If you are one of the people reading this article, please find more positive articles. . .
In terms of scientific contribution, besides parity non-conservation, the more important theoretical contribution is to put forward Yang-Mills field theory. Although this theory also brought a foreigner's name: Mills, according to Mills' own later statement, Yang-Mills theory simply took him to fly, although it was not perfect when it was put forward, and was later perfected by others. So much so that Taylor, the teacher of Yang Zhenning, the father of the American hydrogen bomb, claimed that Yang Zhenning should win another Nobel Prize.
Jan-Mills theory
Look again, I really can't find out what his theoretical contribution can be compared with Yang-Mills' theory, even without parity conservation level. Therefore, Li Zhengdao's reputation at home and abroad is not as good as Yang Zhenning's.
