中新社北京8月11日电 (记者 孙自法)著名华人物理学家、诺贝尔物理学奖获得者李政道先生于当地时间8月4日凌晨在美国旧金山家中辞世，享年97岁。8月11日，中国学界在科学院高能物理研究所(高能所)举行追思会，缅怀李政道先生对中国科技发展作出的卓越贡献。
李政道先生长期关心和支持中国科学院的基础研究工作，推动该院乃至全国的基础研究人才实现跨越式发展。他不仅积极推动中美基础研究国际合作的良好局面，还亲自参与中美系列学术活动，为中美两国在基础研究领域的合作打下坚实基础。
在追思会上，中国科学院前沿科学与基础研究局副局长魏志祥表示，李政道先生对中科院的基础研究工作给予了极大关注和支持，他的贡献为该院乃至全国的基础研究人才发展奠定了坚实基础。
北京大学物理学院院长高原宁院士在会上指出，李政道先生对北大物理学科的建设和发展做出了深远的前瞻规划，并亲自推动北大物理及相关学科的高层次人才培养和国际交流合作。
中国科学院理论物理研究所所长周善贵也提到，该所的发展得益于李政道先生推动设立的中美联合培养物理类研究生计划(CUSPEA)等重要项目，并一直得到李先生的无私帮助。
中国科学院高能所所长王贻芳院士在纪念报告中全面回顾了李政道先生对中国高能物理事业、科教事业、人才培养等领域的贡献。他表示，李政道先生不仅使中国高能物理事业走到国际前沿，还为中国基础研究和应用科学的发展培养了大批后备人才。
李政道长子李中清在书面致辞中透露，父亲在生命的最后几天里表达了对家人的深厚情感。追思会上，来自中国30余所高校和科研单位的院士专家及师生代表、李政道家属代表、亲友、生前同事和社会各界人士等330余人参加了此次活动，共同缅怀这位科学巨匠。
李政道先生的逝世是中国科技界的巨大损失，他的科学精神和未竟的事业将继续激励着后辈科学家。他的贡献将被永远铭记，他的精神将永远激励着中国的科技工作者不断前进。

BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — Li Zhengdao, a renowned Chinese physicist and Nobel laureate in physics, passed away at his home in San Francisco, California, on the early morning of August 4, at the age of 97. On August 11, the academic community in China held a memorial service at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) to pay tribute to Li Zhengdao’s outstanding contributions to China’s scientific development.
Li Zhengdao had long been concerned about and supported the basic research work of the CAS, driving the rapid development of basic research talents both within the institute and nationwide. He not only actively promoted the good situation of Sino-U.S. basic research international cooperation but also personally participated in a series of academic events between the two countries, laying a solid foundation for their cooperation in the field of basic research.
At the memorial service, Wei Zhixiang, deputy director of the CAS’s Bureau of Frontier Sciences and Basic Research, stated that Li Zhengdao had shown great attention and support for the CAS’s basic research work, laying a solid foundation for the development of basic research talents within the institute and across the country.
Professor Gao Yuanning, the director of the College of Physics at Peking University, pointed out that Li Zhengdao had made profound and forward-looking plans for the construction and development of the physics department at Peking University and had personally promoted the cultivation of high-level physics and related disciplines talents as well as international academic exchange and cooperation.
Zhou Shanggui, the director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the CAS, also mentioned that the development of his institute benefited from important projects such as the Sino-U.S. Joint Program for Ph.D. Training in Physics (CUSPEA) initiated by Li Zhengdao and had continued to receive his selfless assistance.
Wang Yi’fang, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the CAS, gave a comprehensive review of Li Zhengdao’s contributions to China’s high-energy physics, scientific education, and talent cultivation in his memorial report. He stated that Li Zhengdao not only brought China’s high-energy physics to the international forefront but also cultivated a large number of reserve talents for China’s basic research and applied science.
In a written speech, Li Zhengdao’s eldest son, Li Zhongqing, revealed that in his final days, his father expressed deep feelings for his family. The memorial service was attended by more than 330 people, including experts, students, representatives from Li Zhengdao’s family, friends, former colleagues, and members of the public from over 30 universities and research institutions. They came together to pay their respects to this great scientist.
The loss of Li Zhengdao to China’s scientific community is a tremendous blow. His scientific spirit and unfinished career will continue to inspire future generations of scientists. His contributions will be forever remembered, and his spirit will continue to motivate China’s scientific workers to move forward.
