Chen Ning Franklin YANG (楊振寧 pinyin: Yáng Zhènníng) (born September 22, 1922) is a Chinese American physicist, who worked on statistical mechanics and symmetry principles.
Yang is also well known for his collaboration with Robert Mills in developing a gauge theory of a new class.
At the age of 82, Yang became engaged to 28-year old Weng Fan who is studying for her masters at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, and married her in early 2005.

Professor Chen Ning Yang, Nobel Prize winner on Physics and famous physicist, said in his lecture at Nankai University Friday that China's sci-tech developed at an unimaginable speed in the 20th Century.
As regards the advancement of physics, Yang thought the study on physics at present and in the decades to come would be focused on the applied physics.
Yang's inspiring lecture was entitled "aesthetics and physics" in Nankai University on the invitation of Chen Xingshen, a world famous mathematician who has settled down in the University in Tianjin.

Chen Ning Yang is a Chinese-born American theoretical physicist who was a corecipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957 along with Tsung-Dao Lee for their work in the law of parity conservation.
Experiments conducted by Yang and Lee proved the existence of parity violations as well as the fact that the symmetry that existed between the particle and the antiparticle otherwise known as the charge conjugation symmetry could in fact be broken by weak decays.
During the 1970's, Yang maintained a position as member of the board of a number of institutions including Rockefellar University, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the Ben-Gurion University in Israel.
