82-year-old Nobel laureate to wed 3 times younger student
Pakistan Times Monitoring Desk

BEIJING (China): An 82-year-old Chinese Nobel physicist has popped the question to a 28-year-old student whom he described as his last gift from God, the Beijing Morning Post said on Saturday.

Dr. Chen Ning Yang, known in China as Yang Zhenning, would marry student Wong Fan in January, the paper said.

Yang won the physics Nobel Prize in 1957 jointly with Lee Tsung-dao for their investigation of the parity laws, which led to important discoveries about elementary particles.

'Last Gift'

Yang, whose wife died last year, is a professor at Tsinghua University. He and his wife met Wong in 1995, the newspaper said.

"She has very good English and she is nice and not calculated," the paper quoted Yang as saying. "She is my last gift bestowed by God."

Tsinghua Reax


A graduate student at Tsinghua said Yang had bags of energy.

"His heart is very young," she said. "I and my friends all sent our best wishes on the Internet. Because he has made such a great contribution to science, we all respect him very much."●
