He was the nephew of the China’s nuclear forefather Qian Xuesen(钱学森). It’s a century-old dream for Chinese people to claim the Nobel Prize. Unfortunately, the dream was never fulfilled. All the Chinese American noble laureates claimed the prize after they took US citizenship. Why couldn’t the scientists in China’s homeland win the Noble Prize? When will the dream come true? Who will the first Chinese Nobel Laureate?

I am sure countries in the West especially USA and European Union will not encourage the Nobel foundation to award any Nobel Prize to China. Instead these western countries will honour hypocrites such as former Japan PM Sato (who asked the US to bomb China with nuclear weapons) and Dalai Lama who instigated Tibetans to riot and kill civilians in China - these so-called Nobel prize winners for peace have violence in theirs hearts for Chinese people. And the Nobel Prize is NO LONGER an award to be coveted - they stand for hypocrisy.
