0. Prof. Yang Chen-ning was the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, for his discovery of parity nonconservation, which was instrumental to the development of elementary particle physics in the following decades.
In 1964, he was invited by CUHK to give a lecture on his work on parity. The lecture, to an overflowing audience in the then newly opened City Hall, was a sensation. In 1982, Professor Yang was made an Honorary Professor at CUHK, and then in 1986 graciously accepted a special Chair as Distinguished Professor-at-Large.
Prof Yang is currently Distinguished Professor-at-Large and Director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His association with this university and with Hong Kong dates back to 1964, when he accepted the university's invitation to give a public lecture on his work on parity.
Prof. Yang was conferred the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa, by CUHK in 1997. In 1999, he made a generous donation of his papers, correspondence, manuscripts and publications, as well as his medals, including the Nobel medal, to the University.
During the late 1970s and 1980s, Professor Yang came to CUHK more frequently to give lectures. He has been an Honorary Professor since 1983 and a Distinguished Professor-at-Large since 1986. He has also given numerous physics lectures and public speeches, including "Physics and Symmetry" in 1982 and "Forty Years as a Student and a Teacher" in 1983.
