Yang Zhenning
Yang Zhenning, male, 1922, from Hefei, Anhui. Yang Zhenning's father is a very famous mathematician and the first scholar in China to receive a doctorate in number theory. Yang Zhenning was influenced by his father since childhood and was very interested in mathematics. His father was his first teacher. 1945, Yang Zhenning went to study in the United States. He was admitted to the University of Chicago and received a doctorate.
After receiving his doctor's degree, Yang Zhenning didn't go back to work in China, but chose to work in Princeton University, where Yang Zhenning started his own physics research. It is also because of this institute that Yang Zhenning met Li Zhengdao. He and Li Zhengdao are like-minded, and they soon became good friends and did research together. Although they had great ambitions at that time, they never thought that they would win the Nobel Prize in the future.
1955, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao published a paper together, which caused quite a stir in physics at that time. Two years later, the two of them won the Nobel Prize in physics for putting forward the theory of parity non-conservation. Since then, everyone has noticed these two Chinese physicists. The Nobel Prize is an award that all scientists want to win. China is absolutely proud that Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao won this award. We will certainly develop better and better with them in China.
Everyone should be very familiar with Yang Zhenning, because he won the Nobel Prize. Yang Zhenning won this award at the age of 35. He is relatively young among all the scientists who won the Nobel Prize, and he still has greater potential. In the later research and exploration, Yang Zhenning achieved 13 scientific research achievements, all of which can be regarded as the Nobel Prize level. It can be seen that the Nobel Prize is not Yang Zhenning's highest achievement, but he still has higher achievements. Yang Zhenning had a great influence on physicists and was called the founder of the silver age of physics in the 20th century.
Returning to China in his later years
Yang Zhenning's return to China in his later years caused a lot of controversy. Some people think that when the motherland needed him most, he didn't choose to come back to serve the motherland, but stayed in the United States, which was a betrayal of the motherland. Others believe that Yang Zhenning is returning to China to support the elderly. Although Yang Zhenning has been restored to China citizenship, we will never forget that he has been naturalized in the United States. But why did Yang Zhenning become an American citizen? Why do you want to return to China in your later years?
In fact, Yang Zhenning's naturalization as an American citizen does not mean that he is unpatriotic. At that time, China's physical research was still relatively backward. If Yang Zhenning stays in China, he can't continue his research. At that time, the country was unable to support his research, so Yang Zhenning could only stay in the United States and continue to study his beloved career. As for joining American citizenship, it is inconvenient for him to follow up without American citizenship, and he can only join American citizenship because he has no access to a higher research environment.
The physics studied by Yang Zhenning is very profound. At that time, only the Washington laboratory in the United States could support him and let him continue his research. Moreover, Yang Zhenning studied theoretical knowledge, and even if he returned to China, it would not help the country much, so Yang Zhenning chose to stay in the United States. However, becoming an American citizen is just his way of doing things for his career, and he will always regard himself as a China person.
Yang Zhenning's parents still live in the mainland, which proves that Yang Zhenning will return to China one day. When he joined, he should also be thinking about returning to China in the future. Yang Zhenning returned to the motherland in 2003. He was very old, but he didn't come back for retirement. In 2003, the development of China was not particularly developed, and SARS, a major infectious disease, occurred the year before last. If Yang Zhenning wants to support the elderly, staying in the United States is a better choice. His children are doing well in America. If he wants to support his old age, he doesn't have to go back to China at all.
Yang Zhenning is an excellent physicist in America. Even if he is old, there will still be many people willing to hire Yang Zhenning at a high salary. Yang Zhenning will have better treatment in America. It can be seen that Yang Zhenning didn't return to China to support the elderly, he just wanted to do his bit for the motherland in his later years. Yang Zhenning wants to use his fame to recruit talents for China, cultivate more talents and make China develop faster.
Love one's country
After returning home, Yang Zhenning settled down in China. At that time, Yang Zhenning was almost 80 years old, but he still had no choice to retire. On the contrary, he often travels back and forth between Hong Kong and Beijing, constantly rushing about for science and education in China. He also used his influence among physicists to invite many foreign scientists to China, which greatly shortened the distance between China and the forefront of science and technology. Under the leadership of Yang Zhenning, key universities in China have also set up research institutes, and Yang Zhenning has trained a batch of talents, making the country develop better.
Yang Zhenning also donated $6 million to Tsinghua University in his own name. He is almost 80 years old, and he still insists on giving classes to college students for free. He volunteered to give lessons to his students. Yang Zhenning has made great contributions to our country and deserves our respect. Although he was naturalized in the United States before, he always considered himself a citizen of China. After finishing his career, he immediately returned to work in China. It is also because of Yang Zhenning that we can develop so well.
At the beginning, those who maliciously speculated about Yang Zhenning owed Yang Zhenning an apology. Yang Zhenning severely hit them in the face with his own actions. He returned to China not for pleasure, but to help China. What do you think of Yang Zhenning? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss it together.
