Many so-called successful people are eager to become American citizens, but Yang Zhenning chose to give up. what do you think?

The scientist who won the Nobel Prize very early. More people know Yang Zhenning, probably because of his spoony marriage. At the age of 82, he married Weng Fan, a 28-year-old schoolgirl. As soon as this news came out, many netizens were pessimistic, and the highest comment was this: Yang Zhenning's contribution to the United States is far greater than that of China. This American, who was loyal to and served the United States, returned to China with the honor of the Nobel Prize in his later years and enjoyed the treatment he had never had in the United States. In return, he gave the people of China an anesthetic ... He, a senior reporter of China Youth Daily.

From the meaning of this sentence, we can easily see the suspicion of Yang Zhenning. Many people think that this is just a face-saving project, which has no outstanding positive value for China. Many people also joked that China won another Nobel Prize. So, why did Yang choose China nationality? According to media reports in the evening, Yang Zhenning explained the reason.

Yang Zhenning said: I became an American citizen on March 23rd, 1964. At that time, I thought about this decision for a long time. It was a very painful decision. 1983 in a book, I once said that my father would never forgive me for giving up China nationality until his death.

This matter mentioned by Yang Zhenning is actually well known. Many people blame this on Yang Zhenning, and compare him with patriotic scientists such as Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian, and belittle Yang Zhenning.

He went on to say that I gave up my American citizenship on April 20 15 1 5, which was not a simple decision. The United States is a beautiful country, which gives me a very good opportunity to do scientific research. I thank America. Moreover, I know that many American friends will not approve of my giving up American citizenship. From this perspective, Yang Zhenning still loves the United States very much, which is the fundamental reason why he has never given up his American citizenship.

Finally, Yang Zhenning said, how does it feel for me to return? Xiong Bingming, a close friend, once said that although your father is gone, his blood still circulates in your body. I said, yes, my father's blood circulates in my body, which is the blood of China culture. It seems that Yang Zhenning finally chose to return to China to realize his father's wish. Yang Zhenning's father is Yang Wuzhi, a mathematician in China, who has made great contributions to modern mathematics in China. Unlike Yang Zhenning, Yang Wuzhi has extremely warm patriotic feelings. The following are Yang Zhenning's memories:

I remember we lived in Route de Florissant 1962. One night, my father said that the new China really made China people stand up: in the past, even a needle could not be made, but today cars and planes can be made (at that time, the atomic bomb had not been made, and my father did not know that China was developing an atomic bomb). There used to be floods and droughts, and millions of people could die at any time. Today, not anymore. In the past, illiteracy was everywhere, but today at least all the children in the city can go to school. Once upon a time, today.

While he was chatting happily, his mother interrupted him and said, "Don't pay attention to these things. I get up in the dark to buy tofu. I stood in line for three hours and only got two irregular ones. What are the benefits? " The father was very angry and said that she was holding him back and giving his son the wrong impression. He was so angry that he went into the bedroom and slammed the door. Yang Zhenning also recalled:

My father was a professor of mathematics in Beijing and Shanghai until 1973. He received a doctorate from the University of Chicago. He has been to many places. But I know that until my death, he never forgave me for giving up my hometown in the corner of my heart. In other words, Yang Wuzhi is well-informed and talented, but he still chooses to make contributions in China, which is plain. This spirit is really touching. I'm afraid this is also the fundamental reason why he blamed Yang Zhenning on death.

From the Yang Zhenning incident, we can draw the conclusion that patriotism is still the core value of China people and will not be destroyed by time and history.
