Tsinghua University, where he had worked for many years, issued an obituary calling him “one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century” and emphasizing his outstanding contributions to modern physics. Yang Zhenning’s academic career was filled with groundbreaking achievements. In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics. Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Beyond his scientific work, Yang Zhenning had a deep affection for his motherland. As early as 1971, when Sino-US relations were beginning to improve, he returned to China for a visit. This trip had a huge impact and encouraged many Chinese scholars living abroad to come back and serve the country. In 1999, he officially became a professor at Tsinghua University and later served as the honorary director of the university’s Institute for Advanced Study. Even in his 80s, he still taught undergraduate courses and worked hard to cultivate young physics talents. In 2021, Yang Zhenning donated more than 2,000 pieces of his collection, including books, manuscripts and images, to Tsinghua University, which set up a special “Yang Zhenning Resource Room” to preserve these precious materials. 1．Why did Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao win the Nobel Prize in Physics A．For developing the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. B．For proposing the idea of parity non-conservation. C．For establishing the Standard Model of particle physics. D．For donating precious materials to Tsinghua University. 2．What is the significance of the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory A．It won Yang Zhenning the Nobel Prize alone. B．It laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics. C．It changed people’s understanding of gravity. D．It was developed when Yang Zhenning worked at Tsinghua University. 3．What did Yang Zhenning do after 1999 A．He first returned to China for a visit. B．He put forward the Yang-Baxter Equation. C．He taught at Tsinghua University and cultivated talents. D．He won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 4．When did Yang Zhenning donate his collection to Tsinghua University A．In 1957. B．In 1999. C．In 2021. D．In 2025. Yang Zhenning’s passing is not just the loss of a scientist, but the end of an era. His life story, which spanned a century, is closely linked with the development of modern physics and the progress of his motherland. Many p ... ...
