How to evaluate Yang Zhenning and Yao Qizhi who gave up their foreign nationality and became academicians of China Academy of Sciences?

Many people are saying, Yang Zhenning, why didn't you come back when the country was in trouble? Now that the national conditions are good, you will come back? You are not welcome! Although I don't agree with this statement, it at least shows one thing: the country has indeed become better and the sense of national identity is stronger.

There is a saying: what did you do for the place where you were raised?

In fact, as long as you open Baidu, you will know what Yang Zhenning did.

Let's see what he did!

From 65438 to 0986, Yang Zhenning founded the theoretical physics laboratory of the Institute of Mathematics of Nankai University, and carried out a series of research work in the spirit of "based on Nankai, facing the whole country and looking at the world".

1992, Yang Zhenning raised $20,000 for an international conference hosted by Nankai. Considering that it is difficult for the mainland to change hundred-dollar bills, he specially changed them to those from 20 yuan and 50 yuan and brought them in a bag. The first computer and laser printer of Nankai Institute of Mathematics was also purchased by Yang Zhenning from Hong Kong and shipped to Tianjin. He also assigned his secretary to be responsible for typing. He even considered the habit of foreign guests drinking coffee and planned to bring his own coffee pot.

Yang Zhenning modeled the Tsinghua Advanced Academic Research Center, which was founded by Princeton Advanced Research Center in the United States. The scale is small and the number of people is small, but the personnel and research projects must be first-class.

On April 2, 2005, Yang Zhenning donated money to set up the "Yang Zhenning Scholarship for Outstanding Poor Students" in Haida University, which is used to help 20 poor students with excellent academic performance successfully complete their studies every year. "

The above items alone have refuted the doubts of netizens.

Some netizens mentioned Deng Jiaxian, Qian Xuesen and other two meritorious figures. But you may not know that Yang Zhenning once saved Deng Jiaxian's life.

Some netizens directly call Yang Zhenning a traitor, which is a bit excessive!

Of course, some netizens complained for Yang Zhenning: foreigners said people were unpatriotic and gave up foreigners and said people came back to make money. Weibo: When can the IQ of a scientist be improved?

In fact, it is not a big deal to give academician Yang Zhenning the status. Some people say that he is 95 years old and can no longer contribute. I think this statement is wrong.

Why is it a good thing for Yang Zhenning to give up American citizenship and become an academician of China?

One: China is an open China, not a closed China. If the United States wants to engage in anti-globalization, China should engage in globalization and deepen its integration with the international community. In particular, science and technology should be in line with international standards.

Yang Zhenning is a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a professor at Tsinghua University, an emeritus professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, a foreign academician of the China Academy of Sciences, a member of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, a member of the Academia Sinica of Taiwan Province Province, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a member of the Royal Society. Because his concept of "parity non-conservation" was proved by experiments, he won the 1957 Nobel Prize in physics. Yang Zhenning's social circle is certainly inferior to that of any professor. This time, Yao Qizhi, an academician with him, was invited to Tsinghua by Yang Zhenning with 1997. Professor Yao Qizhi was born in Shanghai, but grew up in Taiwan Province.

Second, granting them academician status is a signal in itself. What kind of signal does it send? All rivers flow into the sea! China's present role is to play the former role of the United States. The United States itself is an immigrant country, and its prosperity also stems from the introduction of multiculturalism and diverse talents. After Trump took office, it was an opportunity for us to promote the immigration ban. Take outstanding talents from other countries for their own use.

People like Taiwan Province Province and Chinese Americans can obtain China nationality and academician status. This signal is very important in itself. Even both of them are willing to give up their American citizenship in China, which is of great significance in itself. Just as Qilu left Microsoft to join Baidu, Baidu itself sent a signal of change.

Third, doing scientific research in China is promising. Especially when the foreign economy is depressed and the domestic development momentum can continue for several years, many scientific research projects may turn to look for funds and laboratories in China, and once they cooperate, there will be a foundation for cultivating local talents in China.

Therefore, before swearing, you should think clearly that most keyboard men's lifetime contributions may not be as good as Yang Zhenning's for several years. It's really petty to seize other people's tiny moral defects and lash out at them. Let's stop being keyboard men.
