He actively promotes Sino-US cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the Chinese and American people, and has made great contributions to promoting diplomatic relations between China and the United States, talent exchanges and scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States.
Yang Zhenning graduated from the National Southwest United University in 1942; received a master's degree from Tsinghua University in 1944; received a Mu Ouchu scholarship in 1945 and went to the United States to study; received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Chicago in 1948, and later served as a lecturer at the University of Chicago and a researcher at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies; in 1955, he served as a professor at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies; in 1966, he served as a chair professor at the State University of New York and director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the State University of New York; in 1986, he served as a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong; in 1993, he served as a director of the Institute of Mathematics and Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong; in 1998, he served as a professor at the Tsinghua University.
Scientific research achievements: Yang Zhenning made landmark contributions in the fields of particle physics, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. In the 1950s, Yang Zhenning and R.L. Mills collaborated to propose the non-Abelian gauge field theory; in 1956, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao jointly proposed the law of parity non-conservation in weak interactions; a lot of pioneering work was done in particle physics and statistical physics, proposing the Yang-Baxter equation, and opening up new directions for research on quantum integrable systems and multi-body problems.
Phase Transformation Theory: Statistical Mechanics is one of Yang Zhenning's main research directions. His characteristic in statistical mechanics is the strict solution and analysis of universal models rooted in physical reality, so as to beautifully grasp the essence and essence of the problem.
Boson multibody problem: Yang Zhenning published or completed a series of papers on thin boson multibody systems with his collaborators around 1957.
Yang-Baxter equation:In the 1960s, attempts to find models with non-diagonal long programs directed Yang Zhenning to the strict solution of quantum statistical models.
1 The strict solution of bosons in finite temperature in delta function repulsion potential: 1969, Yang Zhenning and Yang Zhenping advanced the boson problem in 1-dimensional delta function repulsion potential to finite temperature. This is the first time in history that a strict solution to the interacting quantum statistical model at finite temperature (T0). This model and results are also experimentally implemented and verified in cold atomic systems.
Theoretical explanation of superconductor flux quantization: In 1961, through close communication with the Fairbank experimental group, Yang Zhenning and Byers theoretically explained the superconductor flux quantization discovered by the experimental group, proving that electron pairing can lead to observed phenomena, clarifying the need to introduce new basic principles about electromagnetic fields, and correcting London's errors in reasoning.
Non-diagonal long program: In 1962, Yang Zhenning proposed the concept of "off-diagonal long program (off-diagonallong-rangeorder)", thereby unifying the essence of supercurrent and superconducting, and also deeply explored the root causes of magnetic flux quantization.
Parential non-conservation in weak interactions: Yang Zhenning's many contributions to particle physics show his expertise in symmetry analysis. Yang Zhenning is known as the "Lordof Symmetry". It is worth mentioning that Wu Jianxiong decided to do one of the several types of experiments they pointed out about 60Coβ decay.In January of the following year, the experimental group he led proved through this experiment that parity was indeed not conserved in weak interactions, causing great shocks in the entire physics community. Because of this work, Yang Zhenning and Lee Zhengdao won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
Three discrete symmetry: time inversion, charge conjugation and parity: The paper preprint questioning whether parity is conserved in weak interactions caused Oehme to write a letter to Yang Zhenning in August 1956 to raise the question of the relationship between the three discrete symmetry of parity (P), charge conjugation (C), and time inversion (T) in weak interactions.
Theoretical discussion on the high-energy neutrino experiment: In 1960, in order to obtain more weak interaction experimental information, using the ideas of experimental physicist Schwartz, Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning theoretically explored the importance of high-energy neutrino experiments.
CP imaginary framework: 1964, after the experiment discovered that CP was not conserved, it caused many articles that randomly guessed its root cause.
Yang-Mills gauge field theory: 1954, Yang-Mills gauge field theory (i.e., non-Abelian gauge field theory). This theory, which was not valued by the physics community at that time, developed into today's standard model through the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking introduced by many scholars from the 1960s to the 1970s. This is generally considered to be the overall achievement of basic physics in the second half of the 20th century. Yang-Mills theory has the lofty status of "creating the world", and its success is a revolution in the history of physics.
Integral field theory: Yang-Mills theory also pushes the relationship between physics and mathematics to a new level. Around 1970, Yang Zhenning was committed to studying the integral form of gauge field theory, and discovered the importance of the non-integer phase factor, thus realizing that the gauge field has profound geometric significance.
The correspondence between gauge field theory and fiber clump theory: In 1975, Yang Zhenning and Wu Dajun published a paper 75c, using the concept of non-integer phase factor to give the overall description of electromagnetic and Yang-Mills field theory, discuss the Aharonov-Bohm effect and magnetic monopole problem, revealing the geometrical correspondence of the gauge field on the fiber clump.
Character evaluation: Yang Zhenning's wonderful taste in mathematics shines on all his work. It makes his less important work a fine work of art, making his esoteric speculation a masterpiece. This made him see the mysterious structure of nature more profound than others. (Evaluation of the famous physicist Dyson)
Yang Zhenning is a man with a very mathematical mind, but due to his early education, he was very interested in experimental details. He likes to talk to experimentalists and appreciates beautiful experiments very much. (Former director of Brockhaven National Laboratory and evaluation by experimental physicist Saos)
Yang Zhenning is the third "physics omnipotent" who has comprehensive knowledge and talents after Einstein and Fermi in the 20th century. He is one of the most well-known contemporary scientists among the Chinese. "Yang Zhenning is a mathematical man, but because of his early education, he is very interested in experimental details. He likes to talk to experimentalists and appreciates beautiful experiments." American physicist and Nobel Prize winner E. Segre praised Yang Zhenning as "one of the three theoretical physicists in the world who can be regarded as versatile for decades." (NetEase Review)

Character introduction: Pearl Buck, an American writer, human rights and feminist activist. In October 1892, four months after his birth, Pearl Buck was brought to China by his parents as a missionary. He spent his childhood and youth in Zhenjiang, and entered his youth, which lasted for 18 years. Pearl Buck has lived in China for nearly 40 years. She calls Chinese the "first language" and Zhenjiang the "hometown of China". Especially on Fengmiao Mountain in Zhenjiang, she studied in Chongshi Girls' Middle School, which still exists now. At the same time, under the west wall of the North Park of the Gulou Campus of Nanjing University, a three-story Western-style building stands. It is also where Pearl Buck lived and worked. As an American female writer with Chinese language, she wrote a novel "The Good Earth" describing the life of Chinese farmers here. In 1932, she won the Pulitzer Novel Award for Novel for her novel, and in 1938, she won the third Nobel Prize for Literature in American history. In 1934, Pearl Buck bid farewell to China and returned to settle in China.
Pearl Buck calls Zhenjiang her "hometown of China". She spent most of her childhood there, first learning Chinese and getting used to Chinese customs, and then her mother taught her English. In 1900, due to the Boxer Movement in northern China, Pearl Buck returned to his hometown in the United States for the first time. Returned to Zhenjiang, China in 1902. On May 13, 1917, he married John Losing Booker, an American young agronomist. After marriage, he moved to Suzhou, Anhui.
Pearl Buck teaches in the Department of Foreign Languages, Jinling University, and has successively taught education, English and other classes in universities such as National Central University.Xu Zhimo, Mei Lanfang , Hu Shi , Lin Yutang , Lao She and others were all guests of her family. Since Pearl Buck had both Chinese and American nationality when he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, according to the internationally common "Nationality Law of Place of Birth", Pearl Buck can indeed be regarded as a Chinese.
Literary Achievement: Pearl Buck once won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1938. She is a lady. The winning works are the Chinese themes of "The Earth Trilogy", "Singular Fire" and "East Wind·West Wind". The Nobel Prize Committee commented on her: "There is a rich and authentic epic description of the lives of Chinese farmers and has outstanding works in biographies."
Character evaluation: Among the Western writers who have had a huge impact on describing Chinese themes, Marco Polo ranked first, and Pearl Buck. In 1938, Pearl Buck won the Nobel Prize in Literature for writing a novel about the Chinese (and two biographies). The Nobel Prize Awards praised: "For its rich and realistic epic description of the lives of Chinese farmers... it opens a way for the Western world, allowing Westerners to use deeper humanity and insight to understand a strange and distant world." She is Pearl Buck, the first female writer in the United States to win this honor.
Pearl Buck has been in China for nearly 35 years, and has personally experienced the tremendous changes in Chinese society at the beginning of the last century. She was the first to translate "Water Margin" to the West, and also promoted a group of Chinese writers such as Lin Yutang and Lao She to the Western world. The themes of her life's writing are closely related to China. According to commenters, in the 1930s and 1940s, the "Chinese image" she created profoundly influenced a generation of Americans.
Pearl Buck became the youngest winner in history at that time. Pearl Buck's thanks at the Royal Swedish Academy was full of affection: "The life of the Chinese people has been my life for many years." As the Japanese invaders rage on the land of China, she did not forget to emphasize: "I know China is inconquering!"
Pearl Buck also translated "Water Margin" into the English version of "Brothers in the World" and is famous all over the world. During the Chinese anti-Japanese period, it publicly published the famous political commentary "Japan Will Defeat". At the invitation of Soong Ching Ling, she served as an honorary committee member of the "All to Defend China", called on the American cultural and press circles to establish the "American China Relief Federation", and persuaded the President's wife Roosevelt to serve as the honorary chairman of the association and raised a large amount of funds for aiding China.

After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the official website of the Nobel Prize extracted the chapter "Song of Garlic Sprouts in Paradise" as an introduction to Mo Yan's works.
In December 2016, he was elected as Vice Chairman of the Ninth National Committee of the Chinese Writers Association. In November 2017, Mo Yan received an honorary doctorate in literature from Hong Kong Baptist University in China.
On June 12, 2019, the Regent Park College of Oxford University in the UK awarded the title of honorary academician of Chinese writer Mo Yan and announced the establishment of an international writing center named after Mo Yan.
On July 30, 2019, Mo Yan was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the Catholic University of Peru in Lima, the capital of Peru.
Character evaluation: To be honest, I have never read most of Mo Yan's novels, but I clearly remember that in 1985, Mo Yan published a novella called "Explosion" in the magazine "People's Literature". I was very excited after reading it. I told people everywhere that I was just over 50 years old at that time, and I never felt that I had been old, but after reading this novel by Mo Yan, I had to admit that I was old. ——The award speech given to Mo Yan by the famous writer Wang Meng
The Nobel Prize in Literature is the most inappropriate thing in history. The word "magic" eliminates half of Mo Yan's achievements! The most suitable positioning should be called "calling". The praise given to Mo Yan by the West is actually not the same as the achievements. ——Yan Lianke

10. Gao Xingjian (won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000)
character introduction: Gao Xingjian, a French Chinese playwright, novelist, translator, painter, director, and critic. Gao Xingjian's ancestral home is Taizhou, Jiangsu Province. He was born in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province in 1940. He graduated from the French major of Beijing Foreign Studies University in 1962, moved to France in 1987, and obtained French nationality in 1997.
Literary Achievement: won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000 and became the first Chinese writer to win the award. Until 2010, his works had been translated into 36 languages. His representative works include the novels "Lingshan", "One Man's Bible", the drama "Absolute Signal", "Station", etc.
Character evaluation : Gao Xingjian reveals another side of Chinese culture that is little-known - Liu Zaifu (Chinese writer)
Gao Xingjian is very amazing, because in addition to Chinese, Gao Xingjian can also use foreign languages (French) - Wang Shuo (Mainland Chinese writer)
Gao Xingjian is a "all-round writer" and the "most energetic soul - Wang Xiaohua (Chinese scholar)
A writer has a reader in his mind when he writes. He writes for the needs and interests of readers. Such a writer is not a truly excellent writer; only that Only those writers who write for themselves and are not influenced by readers have more unique value. Readers begin to know him and accept him, and even conquered him. In this way, writers who are "no readers" will create their own readership group, which can reflect the intrinsic value of literature. --Horas (Academician and Executive Secretary of the Swedish Academy of Literature)
Gao Xingjian's plays in the 1980s played a great role in promoting the modern transformation of Chinese drama. Gao Xingjian's award is a good thing, and he should be congratulated on him, which shows the close connection between Chinese culture and world culture. "-Yu Qiuyu (Chinese writer)
Gao Xingjian is a postmodern writer in the true sense. While most Chinese writers are still busy reflecting on China's political culture from the perspective of human relationships, he has begun to look at problems from an ecological perspective. In his works "The Wild Man" and "Lingshan", he shows his efforts to unify humanistic care with life care, ecological care, and cosmic care. This made him far surpass Bei Dao in terms of ideological height. --Wang Yao (Professor of Peking University)

character introduction: Kao, November 4, 1933 - September 23, 2018), was born in Jinshan County, Jiangsu Province (now Jinshan District, Shanghai), a Chinese physicist, educator, an expert in fiber communication and electrical engineering, and former president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has British and American nationalities and holds resident of Hong Kong, China. He is known as the "father of fiber optics", the "father of fiber optics communications" and the "godfather of broadband".
Kuo moved to Hong Kong, China in 1949, went to the UK to study electrical engineering in 1954, and received a bachelor's and doctoral degree from University College London in 1957 and 1965. He joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1970, preparing for the Department of Electronics, and served as the head of the department; he served as the third president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 1987 to 1996. He was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1990. He was elected as a member of the Central Academy of Sciences in 1992. He was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1996. He was elected as a member of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom in 1997. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009. He was awarded the Great Bauhinia Medal in 2010. He was elected as an honorary academician of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences in 2015. He died in Hong Kong on September 23, 2018 at the age of 84.
Scientific research achievements: Since 1957, Kao has been engaged in research on the use of optical fibers in the field of communications. In 1964, he proposed to replace current with light and fiberglass in telephone networks. In 1965, Kao and Hawkham concluded that the basic limit of glass light attenuation is below 20 dB/km (dB/km) which is a method of measuring signal attenuation over distances), which is the key threshold for optical communication. However, when this determination, the optical fibers usually exhibit optical loss up to 1000 decibels per kilometer or even more. This conclusion opens the mileage of finding low-loss materials and suitable fibers to achieve this standard.
1966, Kao published a paper entitled "Optical Frequency Dielectric Fiber Surface Waveguide", pioneeringly put forward the basic principles for the application of optical guide fibers in communication, describing the structural and material characteristics of insulating fibers required for long-range and high-information optical communication. As Kao's idea gradually became a reality, that is, optical fibers made of quartz glass are becoming more and more widely used, a revolution in optical fiber communication has been launched around the world.
Kao played a leading role in the early stages of optical communication engineering and commercial implementation. In 1969, Kao measured the inherent loss of molten silica at 4 decibels per kilometer, the first evidence of the effectiveness of ultra-transparent glass in transmission signals. Driven by his efforts, in 1971, the world's first 1-kilometer-long fiber was launched, and the first fiber optic communication system was also launched in 1981.
It is worth mentioning that in the mid-1970s, Kao conducted a pioneering study on the fatigue strength of glass fibers. When he was appointed as the first executive scientist of the International Telecommunications Corporation, Kao launched the "Terabit Technology" ("terabit Technology") program to solve the high-frequency limitations of signal processing, so Kao is also known as the "father of Terabit Technology's philosophy".
Character evaluation: "Your research has completely changed the world and promoted the development of the United States and the world economy. I am proud of you. The world owes you a great favor." (Reviewed by US President Obama)
"Your invention has changed the world's communication model and laid the foundation for the information highway. After combining light with glass, image transmission, telephone and computer have made great progress..." (Reviewed by Yale University President of the United States)
It is worth mentioning that Kao also invented a variety of methods to combine glass fiber and laser to transmit digital data. This technology laid the foundation for the development of the Internet. He used fiber optic technology to create a new era of human information and was known as the "godfather of broadband", "father of fiber optic" and "father of fiber optic communication". (Review of Science and Technology Daily)
Professor Kao’s scientific achievements have the common characteristics of all the greatest scientific discoveries: First, his fiber optic technology changed the world. Without his great discoveries, I think the world would be completely different from now; Second, his innovation is something that ordinary people would not imagine. 40 years ago, the fastest media for communication were metal wires. Kao’s amazing imagination is incredible to many people. (Information scientist and Turing Award winner Yao Qizhi review)
optical fiber can truly transmit signals from a long distance, and he is one of the founders. The original optical fiber transmission signal had a large loss and a short transmission distance. At that time, Kao proved in theory that the loss of optical fiber could be reduced very low, thereby realizing long-distance transmission signals. This is a pioneering task, and all technologies related to fiber optic communications are now inseparable from Kao's research work. (Liu Xu, Director of the Department of Information Science, Zhejiang University)
Professor Kao deserves his reputation, which is a testament to the world's praise for his contribution. His research is the crystallization of vision, creativity and precise calculations, and is a model for the world and inspiring. Professor Gao is easy-going and humble, and it is a great pleasure to be able to congratulate him with everyone. (Commentary by Morris, Nobel Prize winner in Economics)
Professor Gao is noble and kind, and is very serious in his work. During his tenure as President of CUHK, he emphasized the pursuit of "excellence" and strives to develop CUHK into a "local university in the world". "Pursuing excellence" has since become the goal direction of CUHK to carry forward the past and open up the future. (Justrated by Kim Yaoji, former president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong)
