[Global Times Report Reporter Chen Zishuai] Yang Zhenning, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, academician of China Academy of Sciences, and famous physicist, died in Beijing on October 18 at the age of 103. In recent days, the international community has deeply cherished the memory of this world-renowned scientist.

"Yang Zhenning, with his keen perception of mathematical aesthetics, revealed the surprising subtleties in nature." The New York Times of the United States recalled that Yang Zhenning and Lee Zhengdao jointly proposed the law of parity non-conservation in 1956, and the two jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Famous physicist Freeman Dyson called Yang Zhenning an "outstanding designer" in the physics community of the 20th century, on the same footing as Einstein and Dirac. "He can transform humble calculations into miniature works of art and sublimate profound theoretical ideas into masterpieces."

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao said that academic circles now believe that Yang Zhenning's most important achievement is the "non-Abelian gauge field" theory he proposed with American physicist Mills in 1954. This work is regarded by the physics community as the peak achievement of theoretical physics in the second half of the 20th century. Lianhe Zaobao said that many people have suggested that Yang Zhenning should be awarded the Nobel Prize again, but because the Nobel Prize stipulates that everyone can only win one prize in the same field, this cannot be achieved.

According to Bloomberg News, during his further studies at the University of Chicago, Yang Zhenning was praised by Fermi, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, who recommended him to Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb". At Oppenheimer's invitation, Yang Zhenning worked at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton for 17 years and met Einstein, Dyson and other scientists. Oppenheimer commented that Yang Zhenning's research work "has extraordinary imagination, simplicity of basic concepts, and excellent analytical ability". "At the same time, he also has good taste, restraint, and critical judgment, which is rare for such a young scientist."

Yang Zhenning has been promoting the development of science and education in China and around the world. According to Singapore's Straits Times, the website of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore shows that Professor Yang Zhenning has always been a staunch supporter of the school's scientific research projects.

In 1986, Yang Zhenning initiated the establishment of the "Chen Jiageng Youth Invention Award" in Singapore. In memory of Professor Yang Zhenning, Chen Jiageng Foundation said that Professor Yang originally conceived the award to encourage young people to think critically, be brave in inventing and creating, and not be bound by the pressure of examinations. The foundation said in a statement on the 19th, "In the past 40 years, this award has benefited countless young people, sown the seeds of scientific exploration and ignited the kindling of innovation. His enthusiasm for education and far-sighted spirit will always inspire future generations."

China's major universities and research institutions have been mourning. Qingdao University's text reminded: "In the years of more than a century, Mr. Yang Xingning has achieved academic achievements, wrote a chapter on the world's achievements and the longevity of the country. He belongs to China, but also belongs to the world; he promotes the world to understand China, and further promote China to the world. "- West Lake University's article "Mr. Has entered the Star River" deeply commends that Yang Xingning "fired the confidence and courage to pursue science for countless generations."

The famous sculptor Wu Yuan in 2021 wrote memoirs of Yang Jingning¡¯s experience: ¡°In the early 1990s, I started a cultural project for China¡¯s outstanding figures. Of course, Mr. Yang Jingning is the object of my great hope to shape.¡± The article mentions the first experience for Yang Jingling: ¡°Mr. Yang Jingning smiled for a moment, was serious for a moment, meditated for a moment, and he even said, ¡®You can touch my head, you can feel.¡¯¡±
