In 1976, Ding Zhaozhong won the Nobel Prize in Physics. There was a big controversy when the language of the speech was Chinese or English. The U.S. Ambassador to Sweden found Ding Zhaozhong: "Our relationship with China is very different. Well, your Chinese is wrong!" Ding Zhaozhong was speechless with a sentence.
Ding Zhaozhong was born in Michigan, USA in 1936, and his ancestral home is Shandong Rizhao. When he was 2 months old, he returned to China with his mother. At that time, China was in war, so Ding Zhaozhong spent his childhood in displacement. He first studied in Sichuan for two years in elementary school until he was 12 years old. The parents took it to Taiwan.
After finishing high school in Taiwan, Ding Zhaozhong went to the United States for further studies, and eventually received a doctorate in physics from the University of Michigan. Since then, Ding Zhaozhong has been engaged in high-energy physics research, has long been committed to finding new particles and new physical phenomena, and has made great pioneering achievements!
In 1976, 40-year-old Ding Zhaozhong ushered in the pinnacle of his life and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Ding Zhaozhong made a request that surprised everyone: to give a speech in Chinese. This has never happened in the 80-year history of the Nobel Prize. It was strongly opposed by the United States. The US ambassador to Sweden threatened Ding Zhaozhong: "Our relationship with China is very bad. It is wrong for you to use Chinese!"
Ding Zhaozhong responded to him: Chinese is one of the most important languages in the world, I just want to use Chinese, you can't control it!
The American ambassador was a little overwhelmed by Ding Zhaozhong's righteous words. He was speechless on the spot and never dared to object again!
In the end, facing hundreds of scholars and experts from all over the world, Ding Zhaozhong delivered his award-winning speech in fluent Chinese. The characters are round and sonorous. As one of the oldest languages in the world, Chinese, the first Once resounded in the Swedish auditorium!
A reporter asked Ding Zhaozhong, what should I do if the foreigners below do not understand Chinese?
Ding Zhaozhong said: It’s their business,I can't control it!
Later, in an interview, talking about this matter, Ding Zhaozhong said: I am Chinese, standing on the world stage to make a speech, I want everyone to realize that the Oriental Pearl is rising, and China must be a technological power in the future!
And as a Chinese physicist, Ding Zhaozhong also spares no effort to promote basic subject education. When he was an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, whenever there were important physical experiments in the world, he also tried his best Invite Chinese scientific research scholars to participate, in order to allow our physicists to have more exposure to cutting-edge technology.
As for the cultivation of physics talents, it can be said that it is the cornerstone of China's technological power. Without talents, everything is nothing.
Therefore, Ding Zhaozhong often went to various universities to give lectures, and said with his students: Let everyone put aside the halo of famous universities, do research, and do academics. Physics is endless and worthy of a lifetime to explore. You must settle down.
But the prerequisite is to cultivate a love and interest in physics. Only true love can guide you to keep going and achieve success.
Ding Zhaozhong recalled that his relationship with physics was when he was a child, he had heard about , Einstein and Madame Curie. In addition, there are many 2span comic books and so on. I have a great interest in physics. In the end, under the opposition of his family, he learned physics, which was not popular at the time, and can continue to cultivate in this field.
It can be seen that the enlightenment of interest in childhood has a vital influence on the growth of a person's life.
Many people are a little bit resistant to studying physics and chemistry, and they even think that they can do liberal arts in the future, and give up those brain-burning subjects. But everyone does not know that under the current education reform, the country has become more and more aware of the importance of these basic disciplines, such as physics and chemistry.
In the latest "Guidelines for Subject Selection for Undergraduate Enrollment in General Colleges and Universities",Beginning in 2021, a large proportion of required subjects will be added to physics and chemistry. Among the 92 subjects in colleges and universities, 65 subjects must choose physics, accounting for 71%, and 56 subjects are required to choose chemistry, accounting for 61%. Studying medicine and physical chemistry are required.
Nowadays, many hard science and technology in our country are elbowed by others, and the main reason is the lack of high-tech talents. In the future, whether it is 5G, new energy, or chips, these science talents are inseparable. Only by vigorously developing basic subject education and cultivating our own talents can we continue to tackle tough problems in science and truly realize a strong country through science and technology.
In fact, the enlightenment education of physics and chemistry in many families is almost blank. For this reason, CCTV "First Time" strongly recommends the book "This Is Physics" in the program as physics for children aged 3-15. Enlightenment reading.
This set of books was jointly reviewed and checked by the academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the famous physicist, Professor Zhou Liwei , and finally positioned as the best physics science books suitable for children to read.
As a set of children's science and education picture books, why is it so highly regarded?
The emergence of "This Is Physics" completely subverts the traditional education methods. There are no obscure principles and formulas. It explains various physical phenomena in life for children through comics + stories, adding fun and reading sex.
For children under 15 years old, comics are the best way of enlightenment. "This is Physics" obviously understands this principle. It depicts more than 100 common physical phenomena in life. For example:
How does the sound spread?
How does the rainbow appear?
Why can't sea water be drunk directly?
If children ask their parents, I think most parents can’t answer them accurately. Even if they read the popular science books, it’s difficult for children to understand such preaching explanations. In the end, they may be invisible. The exploration of the unknown world.
And if you show this funny comic book to children,It became clear all of a sudden, and the comics are very interesting, and can also cultivate children's interest in reading, but parents who have purchased it, the praise burst.
This is by no means an exaggeration. "This is Physics" is very popular in more than 100 countries around the world, and many parents use it for their children's enlightenment education! This kind of enlightenment method of embedding knowledge in the comics not only makes the children happy to accept it, but also the parents can save a lot of worry, and there is no need to stare at it all the time!
As an education book for children, "This is Physics" has a witty and humorous language, a clear and correct point of view, and is very suitable. Drink a few cups of milk tea and you can give it to your child. There may be unexpected gains.
