(许昌一中期中)Yang Zhenning, a great physicist, passed away on 18 October 2025, in Beijing at the age of 103. He was born in Anhui in 1922. As a child, he loved science. He studied at the National Southwest Associated University, a famous school that trained many good students during hard times. Later, he studied in the US at the University of Chicago. In 1957, Yang and Li Zhengdao won the Nobel Prize in Physics because of their important work on the parity nonconservation theory(宇称不守恒理论). This changed how scientists understood the universe. Also, Yang’s Yang-Mills gauge theory(杨-米尔斯规范场论) is a very important part of modern physics, just like Einstein’s theory of relativity(相对论).

Though he lived in the US for many years, Yang always loved China. In 1971, he was among the first Chinese-American scientists to visit China, helping China and the US have academic(学术的) talks again. He advised the Chinese government on improving the basic scientific research and helped nearly 100 Chinese students study in the US. At the age of 77, he came back to work at Tsinghua University, training young scientists and helping develop physics in China.
Yang loved science and his country. His motto(格言) was “Be honest rather than clever”, which inspires young people to seek truth in science and life.
