Famous physicist Yang Zhenning
Yang Zhenning is a world-famous physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. But there are some controversies about Yang Zhenning, one of which is his nationality.
Today, Mr. Yang Zhenning has changed back to China citizenship, and when he was young, he also joined American citizenship. In fact, we can't unilaterally regard this as an unpatriotic performance. There is a lot of helplessness about Yang Zhenning's nationality.
At that time, Yang Zhenning, who had obtained a doctorate in the United States, already wanted to return to China with his family. However, science and engineering students of China origin were not allowed to return to China after obtaining their doctorates in the United States. Therefore, Yang Zhenning failed to return to China with his family.
In the next time, Yang Zhenning can only stay in the United States for a few years. Later, in order to continue his scientific research, he also became an American citizen. This incident has always worried Yang Zhenning's father and complained to him.
This incident once brought their father-son relationship to a freezing point. Yang Zhenning respected his father very much since he was a child, and the issue of nationality became a barrier between them.
Yang Zhenning's father is a professor of mathematics in Tsinghua University and studied in the United States. Yang Zhenning spent eight years in Tsinghua campus. My father has always had a great influence on Yang Zhenning. Although Yang Zhenning is in America, his father always reminds him not to forget his roots. Although Yang Zhenning has lived in America for many years, he is also a patriotic scientist.
Yang Zhenning's contribution to world physics can be compared with Einstein's. Although he has been in the United States for many years, he has been paying attention to the development of domestic science.
