According to CCTV News on August 5, the famous Chinese physicist and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee, passed away at the age of 98.

In 2006, Tsung-Dao Lee gave a speech in Beijing on "Basic Scientific Research and How to Cultivate Talents."

Tsung-Dao Lee was born in 1926 in Shanghai, China, and his native place is Suzhou, Jiangsu. He is a full professor at Columbia University, a Chinese-American physicist, and a Nobel Prize winner in physics. He is famous for his contributions to parity non-conservation, the Lee model, relativistic heavy ion collision (RHIC) physics, and non-topological soliton field theory.

Tsung-Dao Lee has been engaged in physics research for a long time and has made a series of milestone works in the fields of particle physics theory, nuclear theory and statistical physics. In 1954, he proposed the "Lee model", which played an important role in exploring the basic problems of quantum field theory. In 1956, he and Chen-Ning Yang proposed the proposition that parity is not conserved in weak interactions. The following year, after experimental verification, they jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Einstein Science Award. In addition to the theory of parity non-conservation, Tsung-Dao Lee has made many important contributions in the field of particle physics. The Lee-Yang theory he proposed provided a new perspective and method for subsequent particle research. In addition, Tsung-Dao Lee has also made remarkable achievements in the fields of high-energy physics, quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. The relativistic fluid dynamics equations he and his collaborators developed have been widely used in nuclear physics and astrophysics research. In 1994, he was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As a Nobel Prize winner in physics, Tsung-Dao Lee's academic achievements are widely known. As a strategic educator, Tsung-Dao Lee's achievements in educating people are also quite fruitful. Among them, the establishment of the junior class has strengthened the training of basic scientific talents; in the China-US Physics Examination and Application (CUSPEA) joint training program for physics graduate students, some top scholars have long been among the first echelon of global innovation; there are far more than a thousand "political scholars", and some of the "political scholars" of that year have grown into today's "political tutors", and undergraduate students participating in scientific research has become a trend; the Science and Art Fund has built a bridge for cross-disciplinary innovation in natural sciences and humanities and arts; the Natural Science Fund has become one of the important indicators for the assessment and evaluation of various universities and research institutions.
