BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — A memorial service for Li Zhengdao was held in Beijing on August 11, where representatives from China’s academic community gathered at the High Energy Physics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to pay tribute to the great scientist for his outstanding contributions to China’s science and technology development.
Li Zhengdao, a renowned physicist and Nobel laureate in physics, has long been dedicated to advancing China’s high-energy physics and cultivating a generation of outstanding talents in basic research and applied sciences. At the event, Wei Zhixiang, the deputy director of the Frontier Sciences and Basic Research Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, noted that Li Zhengdao has shown great attention and support for the basic research work of the Academy, promoting the development of talent in basic research not only within the Academy but also nationwide, and laying a solid foundation for international cooperation in basic research between China and the United States.
At the memorial service, Gao Yuanning, the president of the Physics Institute of Peking University, mentioned that Li Zhengdao has provided far-sighted planning and personal guidance for the development of the physics department at Peking University, contributing significantly to the high-level talent cultivation, frontier interdisciplinary research, and international exchange and cooperation in physics and related fields.
Zhou Shanggui, the director of the Theoretical Physics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that the institute’s development has benefited from several projects initiated by Li Zhengdao, including the CUSPEA (Chinese-American Joint Physicists Exchange Program) for joint admissions of physics graduate students to the United States, the postdoctoral station system, and the National Natural Science Foundation. The institute will carry forward and promote Li Zhengdao’s scientific spirit and patriotic feelings, aiming to continuously innovate and advance in response to national needs and the cutting edge of world science and technology.
In his memorial report, Wang Yi’an, the director of the High Energy Physics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, comprehensively reviewed Li Zhengdao’s academic career and his extraordinary contributions to China’s high-energy physics, education, and talent cultivation. Wang emphasized that Li Zhengdao not only brought China’s high-energy physics to the international forefront but also cultivated a large number of后备 talents for China’s basic research and applied sciences.
In a written speech, Li Zhengdao’s eldest son, Professor Li Zhongqing, expressed his father’s wish to remain forever connected with his family. The memorial service was jointly organized by the High Energy Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Key Laboratory of Modern Physics, attracting over 30 universities and research institutions, over 300 participants including academicians, faculty representatives, family members, friends, former colleagues, and members of the public.
Li Zhengdao passed away at his home in San Francisco, USA, on the morning of August 4, 2024, at the age of 97. His passing is a great loss to China’s scientific community, but his scientific spirit and unfinished cause will continue to inspire future generations.
