Their contributions are highly praised and considered as one of the milestones in physics. Although he has become an American citizen, he is also a "Chinese-American" and China people are proud of news. Yang Zhenning is also proud of being cultivated by China culture. When they accepted the Nobel Prize that year, he delivered a speech on their behalf. In the last paragraph, he said, "I am deeply aware of the fact that, in a broad sense, I am the product of China culture and western culture, and the product of harmony and conflict between the two sides.

He thought he "walked out of the ivory tower" and started over. People in the scientific community are full of expectations and optimism about the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize again.
