Chen-Ning Yang: A great physicist
(2026·南通市海门区期中)Chen-Ning Yang, who is considered one of the 20th century's g physicists, passed away at the age of 103. Born in China in 1922, he showed exceptional talent in mathematics and physics from his early years.
Yang received his early e in China during difficult times. He first studied at the National Southwestern Associated University, and then went to the United States in 1945 for f study. He worked very hard and finally obtained his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948.
The year 1957 brought Yang worldwide recognition. Together with his colleague Tsung-Dao Lee, Yang was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their theory of parity nonconservation in weak interaction. This m them the first Chinese scientists to receive this great honour.
B this remarkable achievement, Yang had previously worked with Robert Mills to develop the "Yang-Mills theory". His work with Robert Mills on the "Yang-Mills theory" laid the foundation for the standard model of particle physics and is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern physics, comparable in significance to Maxwell's equations and Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Although Yang spent many years working abroad, he always maintained a deep love for his c. His first visit to China in 1971 was especially meaningful. At a time when few overseas scholars visited their motherland, his trip helped build an academic b between China and other countries.
In 1999, Yang made the important d to return to China permanently. He came back to teach at Tsinghua University, where he devoted himself to training young scientists and improving China's education system. He worked tirelessly to help Chinese physics develop and grow.
Yang's extraordinary contributions to physics earned him a place among the greatest scientists in h. His work continues to influence modern physics and will always be remembered. His life story teaches us valuable lessons about the i of working hard, dedication to science, and love for one's country.
