 | | If a mainland Chinese is ever to win a Nobel prize for science or academic works, the country must first initiate wide reforms in higher education, according to Yang Fujia, a physics expert from Shanghai and the current chancellor of Britain's University of Nottingham. |
 | | Yang, 65, who currently serves as director of the Shanghai Institute of Nuclear Research, had just returned home from Britain, where he presided over the annual meeting of the southern English university's board of directors. |
 | | In a century of Nobel awards, Yang noted that most prizewinners' discoveries and theories were made and developed during their youth, while they were involved in research at university. |
