A few days ago, Mr. Yuan Longping left us, and the whole of China and even the whole world fell into grief, but under the news such as Weibo and other news about the news, there were some dazzling comments, these comments mentioned a person: Zhenning Yang . These comments roughly mean that Yang Zhenning does not deserve to be compared with Yuan Longping at all, that Yang Zhenning has little contribution to China, etc.
However, such a person has won almost all the top scientific awards in the world, and the theory developed by him is a kind of progress for the world. I don't know since when, many people have labelled him "no guarantee for the evening festival", "no patriotic ", "old cow eats tender grass". We can call him "God" for the three major achievements of , non-conservation of parity, , Young Mills theory, and Young Basque equation. So why does such a great Chinese man in world history attract black people? Today, let's take a brief look at the story of Mr. Yang Zhenning.
Zhenning Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui in 1992. There is an old Chinese saying that a tiger's father has no dog's son. The reason why Yang Zhenning has achieved such an achievement is inseparable from his father . Yang Zhenning's father is a famous Chinese mathematician and educator, Mr. Yang Wuzhi. Yang Wuzhi was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and what he saw and heard gave him the ideal of "saving the country through science". So at the age of 27, he went to the United States to study, first at Stanford University , and then at University of Chicago , and successfully obtained a Ph.D., which is the first doctor of mathematics in Chinese history.
After completing his studies, Yang Wuzhi returned to China without stopping to devote himself to the education of the motherland. He has served for a long time in Tsinghua University , Xiamen University , Southwest Associated University and other universities, laying a solid foundation for China's modern mathematics .
Yang Wuzhi's life has seen all the ups and downs in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and also witnessed the hardships and hardships of the new China. Therefore, Yang Wuzhi's patriotism and patriotism are extremely strong. Until his death, he was unwilling to forgive Yang Zhenning for one thing he had done - becoming an and citizen.
As the eldest son of Yang Zhenning, his father pays the highest attention to him and has the highest expectations. Yang Zhenning often said that it was his father's influence that gave him a strong interest in mathematics in his early years, which had a decisive influence on his later work in physics. Under the earnest teaching of Yang Wuzhi, Yang Zhenning showed his outstanding talents at an early age. At the age of 16, Yang Zhenning was admitted to the Southwest Associated University, and he was just a sophomore in high school at this time. Southwest Associated University has a very high reputation in history and was a temporary university during the Anti-Japanese War. Tsinghua Peking University and Nankai University are jointly formed, and the faculty is extremely strong. The history of Southwest Associated University is only eight years, but it has cultivated two Nobel Prize winners and five national highest science and technology awards. At first, Yang Zhenning studied chemistry. But slowly Yang Zhenyu became interested in physics, and he became very popular in the field of physics, so he quickly transferred to the Department of Physics and successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination.
In 1945, Yang Zhenning got the opportunity to study in at the public expense of . Perhaps out of admiration for his father, he chose to study philosophy at the University of Chicago. The year 1949 was a new year for China, and it was also a year that directly changed Yang Zhenning. This year, he changed from a student to a scholar and successfully entered the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he was engaged in theoretical research on physics.
For a long time, the scientific community believed in the "parity conservation theory", and even regarded the sub-theory as one of the central theories of physics.Until 1956, the "parity non-conservation theory" jointly published by Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao caused a sensation in the scientific community, and the two became famous. The following year, the two won the Nobel Prize for this theory, becoming the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize. (Li Zhengdao joined the US in 1962, Yang Zhenning joined the US in 1964)
has such an honor, but it has become Yang Zhenning's "black spot". The reason was that at that time, Yang Zhenning had to put his name first in all academic research reports in order to make himself more famous.
Yang Zhenning's two biggest "black spots" are being unpatriotic.
Around 1950, the new China was in need of talent. The government strongly calls on students who have studied abroad to return to serve the motherland. Qian Xuesen , Deng Jiaxian and other scientists did everything possible to return to China, but Yang Zhenning chose to stay in the United States and became an American citizen in 1964. Its image plummeted in the hearts of the public, and was dubbed "forgetting the country" and "destroying the country". There are rumors that Yang Wuzhi has persuaded and even ordered Yang Zhenning to return to China many times, but he has been rejected. This has always been the heart disease of Yang Zhenning's father.
But the truth is often not as simple as it seems. Yang Zhenning has never forgotten that he is a Chinese. The purpose of Yang Zhenning's admission to the United States is only to pursue the ultimate science. Because Yang Zhenning is a pure physics expert, research is equivalent to his "lifeblood". Moreover, in the 1950s, what the country needed was the scientists who had "learned" to return to China for construction. At this time, Zhenning Yang had just finished his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. There is no systematic and comprehensive contact with the advanced physical knowledge in the United States. Therefore, if Yang Zhenning returned to China at that time, the contribution he might make would not be so great.
Some facts that we cannot forget is that Yang Zhenning was the first Chinese who initiated the "Diaoyu Protection Movement" in 1971, and used his international influence to resolutely safeguard our country's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands .
In the summer of 1971, when the United States lifted the ban on visiting China, Yang Zhenning couldn't wait to fly to the embrace of the motherland and became the first overseas Chinese scientist to visit New China. At the same time, Yang Zhenning never gave up on promoting the normalization of Sino-US relations.
After the Sino-US relationship broke the ice, Yang Zhenning returned to China for many visits. Yang Zhenning was very interested in education and proposed to Deng Xiaoping to set up a junior class of HKUST to cultivate talents. For young students, the Kah Kee Youth Invention Award and Yilida were specially set up. Youth Invention Award and many other awards. In addition, Yang Zhenning founded the "American Chinese Association" to help international students studying in the United States to the greatest extent possible. In addition, Mr. Yang Zhenning also used his influence to "attract" leading scientists such as Lin Jiaqiao and Yao Qizhi to return to China and find good jobs for them in Tsinghua University. And raised 200 million US dollars in scientific research funds for Tsinghua University and Nankai University. The first batch of first-class physics laboratories in China were also composed of Mr. Yang Zhenning.
Later, Yang Zhenning gave up his American citizenship and returned to China. Countless people immediately began to attack him, saying that he was "old and not popular in the United States." He refused the high salary in the United States, insisted on returning to China, and taught in the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University in person.
On April 1, 2015, Yang Zhenning became a Chinese citizen. In February 2017, Mr. Yang Zhenning officially became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
