However, Yang Zhenning donated all his income to Tsinghua University to build the Institute of Advanced Physics. In addition, Yang Zhenning sold his house in the United States and donated US$ 654.38+US$ 200,000 to Tsinghua University, totaling more than US$ 7.4 million (which proves that Yang Zhenning's statement of returning to China for retirement is absurd).

6. Yang Zhenning used his great influence, resources and connections in the scientific community to help China establish more than 60 first-class laboratories.
7. Raise $200 million for scientific research in Tsinghua University and Nankai University.
8. It directly promoted cold atoms and condensed the achievements of physical scientific research, and directly improved the level of physical research in China for decades.
