Legendary old man John B. Goodenough won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at the age of 97 and became the oldest winner in the history.


Compared with many academicians at the age of 90 or above in Zhejiang Province, Tu Youyou was 89 years old a few months later when she won the Nobel Prize. She is younger.


In terms of Nobel Prize, let’s talk about the extraordinary life of these scientists at the age of 90 or above in Zhejiang.


Chen Ziyuan

China's first academician of nuclear agriculture

Nuclear technology has made great contributions to agriculture in China. China is the largest country in the world which uses nuclear technology for mutation breeding, accounting for 1/4 of the world's mutation breeding with nuclear technology. According to the evaluation of the International Atomic Energy Agency, China's nuclear agriculture is leading in the world. It is all related to Chen Ziyuan.


In the research on "mutation breeding by radiation of plants" supported by Chen Ziyuan, more than 20 mutant plant varieties have been successfully cultivated in the Nuclear Agriculture Institute. Among them, "Zhefu 802" is the mutation-induced rice variety with the largest promotion area in the world. Since its appearance, the accumulative promotion area has reached more than 200 million mu. 40 kilograms of rice per mu is harvested more than ordinary rice. The economic benefit is more than RMB2 billion.


Mr. Chen thinks that honor is not important. He said: "I am just an ordinary teacher. Everything is attributed to the party, the people and the collective."


Wang Yousheng

China's first doctoral supervisor of power electronics technology

He is China's first doctoral supervisor of power electronics technology, and one of the first batch of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was the first to create double-water internal cooling technology of motor in the world. He successfully developed China's first 100KW/1,000Hz medium-frequency thyristor induction heating power supply. He won the National Scientific Conference Award, the first prize of National Prize for Progress in Science and Technology, Science and Technology Achievement Award of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the title of the National Model Worker...This is Wang Yousheng, a legendary professor at Zhejiang University.


Besides teaching in classes and making scientific research, Professor Wang is also fond of drinking yellow rice wine and writing poems. He is also nicknamed "academician of yellow wine". In his 80s, he still drinks yellow rice wine every day. Of course, Mr. Wang's also good at telling cold jokes. He said that for him the key to longevity was not exercising, not smoking, not going out and not living regularly.


"Never regret for making efforts. Make the country beautiful with youth." Professor Wang evaluated himself and technical personnel who followed him to be engaged in research work for decades.


Zheng Zhemin

The pioneer of "explosion mechanics" in China

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the 1950s, Zheng Zhemin broke through many obstacles to return to China from the United States and devoted himself to the establishment of the mechanics research work of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He initiated "explosion mechanics", and manufactured high-precision satellite rocket components, which solved the important problem in China's space industry at that time.


"Explosion mechanics" are applied in every aspect, and Zheng Zhemin's efforts for explosion mechanics have been widely recognized in the mechanics circle at home and aboard. In 1993, he was awarded the foreign academician status by the National Academy of Engineering of the United States.


From the old days, Zheng Zhemin shows his patriotism all his life. He said: "From the past to the present, I have no clear route. But I am sure that I have the desire to make our country rich and make people powerful."
