Who is Yang Zhenning?
Do you really dare to ask this sentence, are you afraid of being pissed when you go out? In China, how many old people have made such remarkable achievements?
Two bombs and one star-Mr. Deng knows that?
The father of rice ——Master Yuan knows that?
The father of astronautics-Mr. Qian, don't you know?
There are many more... Maybe you haven't heard of it, but you can enjoy today's happy life without these people you are not familiar with.
What we are going to say today is: Yang Zhenning, the world's first person in physics and a leader in China's scientific and technological construction.
Yang Zhenning, physicist, Chinese University of Hong Kong Bowen Chair Professor and theoretical Institute of Physics Director, Tsinghua University Institute for Advanced Study Honorary Dean and Professor, State University of New York at Stony Brook Professor Emeritus, Chinese Academy of Sciences academician, National Academy of Sciences foreign academician, Academia Sinica, Hong Kong Academy of Sciences honorary academician, Russian Academy of Sciences, foreign academician of the Royal Society, Nobel Physics in 1957 Scholarship .
At the same time, he has made milestone contributions in the fields of particle physics, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. In the 1950s, he cooperated with RL Mills to propose the non-Abelian gauge field theory; in 1956, he cooperated with and Li Zhengdao to propose the law of parity nonconservation in weak interaction; did a lot of pioneering work in particle physics and statistical physics , Put forward the Yang-Baxter equation, and open up new directions for the study of quantum integrable systems and many-body problems. Yang Zhenning also promoted the establishment of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Advanced Research Center of Tsinghua University, the Theoretical Physics Laboratory of Nankai University, and the Advanced Academic Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University.
The above are some of Yang Lao's achievements.
Speaking of today's topic, Mr. Yang delivered a classic talk on the theme of "I wish people a long time, a common journey for thousands of miles" at the seminar on the 22nd.
Old man Yang felt that everything he did was happy in his life. We are lucky that we younger generations can enjoy the peaceful and happy life of these decades under the shade of such an older generation.
The phrase "I hope that people will be long and travel together for thousands of miles" is from a letter written by Deng Jiaxian to Yang Lao, a collection of 50 years of memory and sentiment for setting sail. At that time, Mr. Yang was studying physics in the United States. When he learned that China had developed and detonated the first atomic bomb, he couldn't suppress his excitement. He wanted to return to China to find out whether it was researched by his own country. Return home.

After returning to China, Mr. Yang met with Mr. Deng after visiting his hospitalized father. However, under the social environment at that time, it was not suitable to ask such a question. Until the moment when he was going back to the United States, Mr. Yang could not help but ask it at the airport, but he did not get a positive answer from Mr. Deng. In the end, after receiving the affirmative reply from the organization, Mr. Deng wrote the letter of Mr. Yang today, “I hope people will be long and have a common journey for thousands of miles”. Time has passed by 50 years.
Yang Lao was also after this incident,Seeing China’s hope to set sail, after returning to China, Mr. Yang has been committed to the advancement of domestic scientific research. He mentioned his various suggestions to national leaders, established various scientific and technological universities and scientific research laboratories, and also appeared in various Teaching between colleges and setting up scholarship institutions at his own expense, Mr. Yang has dedicated everything he has to this new China. At the same time, Mr. Yang gave up his American citizenship in 2015 and officially returned to his Chinese citizenship, continuing to dedicate his life.
Compared to the big earthquake in the entertainment industry some time ago, Mr. Yang has no interest in understanding. Most of the young generation now has their goals of chasing stars, or becoming celebrities, and becoming Internet celebrities. Once upon a time, when we were sitting in a bright classroom with red scarves, the teacher asked us: What is your ideal? At that time, we were all scrambling to shout: I want to be a scientist, I want to be a doctor, I want to be an astronaut, I want to be a People’s Liberation Army, I want to be...
When I don’t know when to start, our ideal Lost, instead, the ones who appeared in front of us the most have become various traffic figures, and even some talents and celebrities who have abandoned their own country and turned to join other countries, and return to the motherland where you were born and raised to make money. Wow, it's not right, it shouldn't be your homeland anymore! Fortunately, the stifling of the state decree restored a little peace.
Yang Lao devoted himself to the prosperity and strength of our motherland all his life. We should also think deeply, what can we do?

I think we should educate our next generation while regulating ourselves. When our children are not thinking about chasing stars, becoming stars, becoming Internet celebrities, and wanting to be On the day of scientists, doctors, and astronauts, I believe that our motherland will be stronger and more prosperous, instead of Li Bai, Xiao Qiao and other characters that should have been exposed to in elementary school, and turned into powerful heroes. So, is it that decades later, when people mention Li Bai, they only know that he is a powerful hero rather than a true identity "poetry fairy"?
