| Book Description | This book celebrates the accomplishments made by many of the notable scholars of Chinese descent, with 11 Nobel, 4 Lasker and 1 special feature Laureate with Wolf Prize in Physics. All these Laureates have made significant contributions in their respective field. The story began almost a century ago when the Boxer Indemnity Scholarships brought to the U.S. some of China's best and the brightest. Particle physics would not be the same. Biomedical science, fiber optics, and global warming would not be the same either. Not without the pioneering achievements of these scientists. Creativity requires bridging the intellectual divide between the humanities and sciences as in Nobel Prize for Literature. With Gao Xingjian and Mo Yan, their exhilarating inter-connected stories give us more than mere life of literature. They gave us the vehicle to explore the relationships among culture, economics, geopolitics, and innovation in the New Millennium. Like any prize subject to selection by a committee, some awards might have been subjected to their fair share of contradictions and controversies. The purpose of this book is to document the intellectual struggles and the triumphs of these scholars. By chronicling what they have gone through, we hope to inspire the next generation of scholars to emulate and to learn from these pioneers in their quests for the ultimate success. |
