10月18日，世界物理学界迎来一位时代巨匠的谢幕：诺贝尔物理学奖获得者、华裔物理学家杨振宁在北京因病辞世，享年103岁。国际主流媒体纷纷给 予高度评价，称他不仅是20世纪基础物理学的重要推动者，更是中西科学文化交汇的桥梁与象征。 图片来源：英国《卫报》 纵观杨振宁的生命轨迹，从中国远赴美国，在普林斯顿与芝加哥求学，到后来回到中国推动教育与科研，其本身就是20世纪全球科学发展与人才流动的 缩影。他晚年的"归来"，更被外媒赋予了深远的象征意义。 杨振宁于1946年赴美，获得芝加哥大学奖学金，并于1948年获得博士学位。芝加哥大学教授、诺贝尔奖得主恩里科·费米对杨振宁的学术工作赞誉有 加，并将他推荐给当时的普林斯顿高等研究院院长、"原子弹之父"罗伯特·奥本海默。 应奥本海默邀请，杨振宁加入了普林斯顿高等研究院，并在那里工作了17年，其间与阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦、弗里曼·戴森等科学家有过深入交流。奥本海 默曾评价杨振宁的工作："展示了极大的想象力和基本概念的简洁性，并具备相当强的分析能力。更为突出的是，这一切在如此年轻的科学家身上表现得这 么出色。" 为便于在美国从事学术研究，杨振宁于1964年加入美国国籍。然而，他始终 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article commemorates the life and contributions of Yang Zhenning, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and academician, who passed away at the age of 103, highlighting his significant impact on physics and his dedication to promoting scientific exchange between China and the world [1][2]. Group 1: Academic Achievements - Yang Zhenning made substantial contributions to various fields of physics, including particle physics, field theory, statistical physics, and condensed matter physics, with notable works such as the Yang-Mills theory and the law of parity violation [2]. - His work led to the development of the Yang-Baxter equation, which opened new directions in both physics and mathematics [2]. Group 2: Influence on Chinese Science - Yang Zhenning played a pivotal role in fostering academic exchanges between China and the United States, being recognized as a key figure in this regard after his visit to China in 1971 [3]. - He renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2015 to become a full member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, reflecting his commitment to China's scientific development [3]. Group 3: Personal Reflections and Legacy - Yang Zhenning expressed a deep sense of connection to China and reflected on the significance of his life and work, emphasizing the beauty and structure of physics [2][3]. - In his later years, he focused on mentoring young students at Tsinghua University, aiming to establish a high-level research center and train future generations of scientists [3][4].
