At 2:33 a.m. local time on August 4, world-renowned scientist, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, and Chinese-American physicist Tsung-Dao Lee died in his sleep at his home in San Francisco, USA, at the age of 98.

The next day, Sohu Technology visited an old acquaintance of Tsung-Dao Lee, He Zuoxiu, a researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, hoping to hear more stories about Tsung-Dao Lee from him.

When he first met He Zuoxiu, he acted very calm. In his opinion, the news did not come suddenly.

"He is only nine months older than me. How long do you think I can live now? You should have self-knowledge by now, right? I'm lucky enough to still be able to talk to you. All my friends are gone, none of them exists anymore. Everyone will die, there is no such thing as immortality." He Zuoxiu said self-deprecatingly.
