On March 3, 2022, the 2021 Touching China Award ceremony aired on CCTV. Ten role models were on the list, and Yang Zhenning is one of them. When mentioning the greatest theoretical (理论的) physicists in the world, Yang Zhenning is a name never to be forgotten.

Yang Zhenning, a famous Nobel Prize-winning physicist, became the first Chinese- American scientist who managed to return to China after the US just lifted (解除) the ban (禁令) on visits to China in 1971. Yang also helped hundreds of Chinese students to have a further study in the US. These people later made a huge construction (贡献) for China.

Yang was born in 1922, in Hefei Anhui, China, and grew up in Tsinghua University. From a young age he had an interest in physics. At the age of 12, Yang showed his great goal to win a Nobel Prize after being attracted by a book about the unknowns of the universe.

With this goal in mind, Yang studied hard. After getting a master’s degree in Tsinghua University in 1944, Yang got the chance to further his studies in the United States. There he met another Chinese student, Tsung-dao Lee (李政道), who shared the same interests, and they often discussed the physics problems together. In 1957, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics. It let other Chinese people know that Chinese scientists could stand out in the global science community.

At the Nobel Banquet (宴会),Yang also expressed his pride. He was very proud of his Chinese background. No matter where he has been, Yang Zhenning has always had his motherland in mind.

In 2003, Yang returned to China and also taught at Tsinghua. Under his influence, many overseas Chinese also returned to China to make contributions, such as Turing Award winner Yao Qizhi, physicist Wu Xiaogang, and mathematician Zhang Shouwu.
