Chen Ning Yang is a Chinese-American physicist who, along with Tsung-Dao Lee, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on the law of parity violation in weak nuclear interactions. His contributions to theoretical physics have had a profound impact on our understanding of particle physics and the fundamental forces of nature. Yang's work continues to influence the field of physics and his legacy is well-regarded in the scientific community.
"In the final analysis, the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within."
"I was later to receive an excellent first two years' graduate education in the same University and then again was able to pursue my studies in the U.S. on a fellowship from the aforementioned fund."
"I should like to say that I am as proud of my Chinese heritage and background as I am devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin, to which I have dedicated and I shall continue to dedicate my work."
