2004-12-18
BEIJING - An 82-year-old Nobel Prize-winning physicist plans to marry a 28-year-old Chinese graduate student next month, a news report said Friday.Chinese-born Franklin Chen Ning Yang spent most of his career in the United States before returning to China last year following the death of his first wife. Chen plans to marry Weng Fan, a student of foreign trade at Guangdong University in southern China, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. It cited an unidentified official at Tsinghua University in Beijing, where Chen teaches. Yang announced his marriage plans in an e-mail to friends that included a poem he wrote in English about his fiancee, Taiwan's United Daily News reported. The poem read, in part: ``Oh, sweet angel, truthfully you are/ God's benevolent last gift/ To give my old soul/ A joyous rejuvenating lift,'' the paper said. Yang shared the 1957 Nobel with colleague Lee Tsung-dao. He became a U.S. citizen in 1964 and held professorships at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, according to Brittanica.com. A biography on the Nobel Prize Web site described Yang as ``a quiet, modest, and affable physicist.'' On the Net: http://nobelprize.org
