What is the relationship between physicist Yang Zhenning and his father? Is it a rumor to break off the relationship?

Zhu Bangfen, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and director of Tsinghua University Physics Department, published an article in September 20 17, listing a series of great contributions made by Yang Zhenning to the social development of China. Academician Zhu Bangfen refuted the rumor that "Yang Zhenning and his son broke off relations" as follows:

He wrote in the article "Father and I". I know that he (referring to Yang Zhenning's father) never forgave me for giving up my old country until my death? . Yang Zhenning and his father have always had deep feelings. Yang Wuzhi never said anything about Yang Zhenning becoming an American citizen, let alone writing anything. This sentence is just Yang Zhenning's own inner feelings.

Like Yang Zhenning and his son? Break off the relationship? This is obviously a rumor. But this rumor has not been widely clarified. According to a survey conducted by the World Wide Web, an article entitled "Tsinghua Fury" was the first to spread the rumor that Yang Zhenning and his son broke off relations, but the author was not from China, but a foreigner. Through technical means, it is found that the earliest article IP is in Taiwan Province Province, and it is a parallel text without nutrition. It was a well-known Japanese person, Keiichi Kato, who slandered the founder of the Institute of Advanced Studies of Tsinghua University in the name of China Youth Daily reporter He (He publicly clarified this matter in his Weibo, denying that he had written an article criticizing it). For example, rumors fabricated that Yang Zhenning's father Yang Wuzhi and Yang Zhenning "broke off relations". This kind of low-level rumor without any factual basis was reprinted by some media.

The original Tsinghua great anger said:

Unfilial: As an American citizen, Yang's father never forgave him until his death, which is regarded as unfilial. ?

The fact is:

Yang Zhenning has always had a good relationship with his father. According to public information, Yang Zhenning met his father three times at 1957- 1960. Under the care of Premier Zhou, he flew to Geneva with his mother to reunite with his family every summer after the 1960s. From Yang Zhenning's joining the United States to 197 1 years ago, their contact was never interrupted, and the father and son met at least 10 times (producer news network of China * * *: "Yang Zhenning's Four Visits to China Revealed Secret Meeting with His Father-in-law Du"). Where did some rumors come from? Break off the relationship? ? In 197 1, Yang Zhenning visited China and met his father. His father said happily to Premier Zhou. He listens to me. ? 1972 I went to see my sick father again. My father was very happy. Since then, the two have kept correspondence and met many times in many important public occasions. Until his father died, Yang Zhenning returned to China to attend the funeral, and all the witnesses and physical evidence were there.

So? Father never forgave me? What is the truth? According to Huang Qingqiao, a researcher in the history of science at Shanghai Jiaotong University, this sentence was first said by Yang Zhenning in his autobiography. This shows that Yang Zhenning is open-minded.

If Yang Zhenning doesn't say this sentence, others can't know about it, because:

In all biographies, news reports, personal letters, witnesses from relatives and friends and other people's accounts, Yang Zhenning's father never complained about Yang Zhenning's decision from beginning to end, but? Father didn't forgive me? This is Yang Zhenning's own psychological activity.

Yang Zhenning's father, of course, regrets that Yang Zhenning can't return to China after joining the United States, but breaking off relations with his son is an ulterior motive of overseas anti-China websites.

(Yang Wu's family took a group photo at 1960).

According to the description of relevant documents and testimonies, Yang Wuzhi and his wife reunited with Yang Zhenning in Europe in A.D. 1960. Luo, our mother, experienced a series of movements in the mainland and resolutely opposed her son's return to China. On the one hand, her father Yang Wuzhi wants him to return to China, and on the other hand, he is afraid of affecting his son's scientific research, which is both embarrassing and contradictory. Yang Zhenning's mother said to Yang Wuzhi. Don't mislead your son. I get up in the dark to buy tofu. After waiting in line for three hours, I can only buy two irregular ones. ? When Yang Wuzhi returned to China, he said to his children. Your mother objected to your eldest brother (Yang Zhenning) and his second brother returning to China, saying that not only would they not get the Nobel Prize, but they would also be hit. I think your mother is right, but I didn't say it directly. ? He added:? I am ambivalent now, and my family is in some disorder in all aspects. How can I persuade Yang Zhenning to return to China? How can he continue to do research when he returns to China? ?

Yang Zhenping, Yang Zhenning's second brother, was reunited with his parents in Geneva 1960 and 1962. He recalled: My father hoped to win his eldest brother, who had become famous in physics, back to China. Although Eldest Brother was willing to serve China, he felt that the situation in China at that time was not conducive to his personal academic progress. After returning, scientific research work is likely to stagnate. He is only 40 years old. If he continues to do research in the United States, I'm afraid it will be more effective for China's role and the future relationship between Chinese and American scientific circles. The father's view of his son also makes sense. So he has some psychological contradictions. ? (Source: Huang Qingqiao's Return of Yang Zhenning to China) But this is a fabrication? What is the author? , completely changed a taste, fabricated rumors of severance.

(Yang Zhenning 1980 started teaching at Lanzhou University, and the photo was taken at 198 1).

Let's go back and say, save money for hunger and raise children for old age? Filial piety for the elderly means that children and younger generations ensure the material life of their parents and elders. Caring for the health and longevity of the elderly does not mean political inclination and ideology, nor does it mean joining the nationality of a certain country. Is modern civilized society no longer18th century? I am a country, and I will rebel against my father when I go abroad? In the era of feudal autocracy and ignorance, free migration is the most basic human right of adult citizens, and individuals have the right to decide to settle in a certain country. Even Yang Zhenning's father only has the right to suggest, and he can't force his own will. Where to settle down and what is called? Unfilial? Eight poles don't fight together.

Zhu Bangfen, academician of China Academy of Sciences and director of Tsinghua University Physics Department, published an article in September 20 17, listing a series of great contributions made by Yang Zhenning to the social development of China. Academician Zhu Bangfen refuted the rumor that "Yang Zhenning and his son broke off relations" as follows:

He wrote in the article "Father and I". I know that he (referring to Yang Zhenning's father) never forgave me for giving up my old country until my death? . Yang Zhenning and his father have always had deep feelings. Yang Wuzhi never said anything about Yang Zhenning becoming an American citizen, let alone writing anything. This sentence is just Yang Zhenning's own inner feelings. I think only honest people will reveal their inner monologues that are detrimental to their image and unknown.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhenning has also made great contributions to China. According to the published data, Yang Zhenning is the founder of the Institute of Advanced Studies of Tsinghua University, which has made a number of important achievements in theoretical condensed matter physics, cold atomic physics, theoretical computer and other fields, and gathered many world-class scholars. He is also the founder of the theoretical physics laboratory of Nankai University and occupies a place in the world. According to Academician Zhou, at least 10 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and five university presidents have been trained for China.

He was the first Chinese-American scientist to visit China after the loosening of Sino-US relations in 197 1, and made great contributions to actively promoting Sino-US cultural exchanges and people's mutual understanding, and promoting the establishment of diplomatic relations, personnel exchanges and scientific and technological cooperation between China and the United States.

Yang Zhenning has made huge research funds for Tsinghua University, Nankai University and Fudan University, and personally recommended 1200 young scholars to go abroad for training. ? Help set up dozens of laboratories for free. Ge, academician of Nankai University, published dozens of SCI papers in the name of Tsinghua. Raise Tsinghua's three physical research fields to the first class in the world? (Wang Dazhong, President of Tsinghua University)? . Yang Zhenning also donated at least $740 to Tsinghua University to introduce talents.

Yang Zhenning also invited and arranged a large number of world-class scientists, including Lin Jiaqiao, Nie Huatong, Yao Qizhi and Zhang Shousheng, to work in China, among whom seven were foreign academicians of China Academy of Sciences. Yang Zhenning also contributed to the establishment of the Junior Class of the University of Science and Technology of China and the large-scale project of the fourth generation light source X-ray free electron laser test device settled in China. According to Li Xin, editor-in-chief of Sanlian, Yang Zhenning is also related to the resumption of the college entrance examination, which has changed the fate of many people.
