作者 | 第一财经 钱童心 封图 | 新华社 跨越了两个世纪的物理学巨擘、诺贝尔奖获得者、中国科学院院士、清华大学教授杨振宁，因病于10月18日在北 京逝世，享年103岁。 杨振宁曾在30年前的一次访谈中说道："我一生最重要的贡献是帮助改变了中国人自己觉得不如人的心理作用，我 想我在科学工作的成就帮助中国人的自信心增加了，这个恐怕是我一生最重要的贡献。" 杨振宁影响了中国好几代科学家。中国科学院院士、中国科大常务副校长、著名量子物理学家潘建伟至今难忘杨振 宁说过的一番话，他曾说："我们这一辈人过去总是盼望着中国'天亮'，如今我们终于可以看到中国未来有无限可 能。" 2025.10. 19 本文字数：3154，阅读时长大约5分钟 物理学的"杰出设计师" 杨振宁的逝世震动了海内外科学界，海外媒体也纷纷报道了他逝世的消息。《纽约时报》还发表了关于杨振宁生平 事迹的长篇讣闻，并评价道："他的数学美感帮助人类揭示出自然界运行规律中一个出人意料的'扭结'。" 10月18日，清华大学已设立缅怀室，接受校内师生及社会相关人士吊唁。而此时杨振宁的出生地合肥四古巷旧居 也已亮起灯笼。 杨振宁1922年出生于安徽，1942年毕业于 ...

刚过完103岁生日的杨振宁先生，走了。 刷手机的时候，突然弹出来这么一条消息。那一瞬间，我感觉时间都停了一下。 斯人已逝，今天，我们更需要记住的，是这位科学巨擘对中国，以及对全人类的贡献。 杨老曾经说，自己最大的贡献可能是克服了中国人不如人的想法。 这话听起来可能有点谦虚，但你得知道，在很长一段时间里，世界主流物理学的桌子上基本没有华人，甚至出现过"中国人适不适合搞科研"这种论调。 而杨振宁，是第一个彻底破除这种偏见的人。他不仅证明了中国人能够做出顶级的科学发现，还直接改变了人类对物理学的认知。 而他的故事，要从20世纪初，战火纷飞的昆明说起。 1938年秋天，16岁的杨振宁考入西南联大物理系，在吴大猷、叶企孙这些大师的熏陶下，少年杨振宁打下了坚实的物理学基础。后来，他远赴美国芝加哥 大学，又师从"氢弹之父"泰勒，同时也深受费米的影响。 可以说，他集齐了当时物理学界最顶级的导师天团，属实是天才少年无疑。 而他之后的成就，也证明了他无愧于这份顶级传承。 我们现在一提到杨振宁，大部分人首先想到的可能是诺奖。 但其实，真正奠定他历史地位的并不止于此，一个在物理学圈内流传甚广的"八卦"是：宇称不守恒，只是杨先生"三流 ...
