In 1944, a young man carrying a bag filled with books knocked on the doors of Mr. Wu Dayou's house in Kunming. young man was there to ask Wu to let him study in the then National Southwest Associated University (NSAU/Xinan Lianda) , where Wu was a professor. (surprising) , just 13 years later, the seemingly common young man won the Nobel Prize in Physics. This man is none other than Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee.
During his years spent in NSAU, Lee quickly grew intellectually. He often (find) himself asking Wu after lessons for more work and would often search for (know) outside of the courses.
Lee entered the University of Chicago's Graduate School just 23 years old and began researching physics. In 1956, he became (young) full professor at Columbia University. One year later, he, along with Chen Ning Yang, won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
When Lee returned to China in the spring of 1979, he (invite) to teach two classes at the University of Science and Technology of China. He badly wanted more Chinese researchers (understand) the progress the world has made in the past decades. he established the CUSPEA program in 1979, which supported 915 Chinese students to study in the U. S.
Although he was living abroad. Lee remained connected to China. His legacy serves as an inspiration (激励) for future generations to pursue (they) dreams and make a positive difference to the world.
