At fifteen, he left Shanghai; at thirty-one, claimed the Nobel Prize; at forty-six, returned to his homeland. Through a lifetime of migration and pursuit, Tsung-Dao Lee wrote a pivotal chapter for Chinese science. From a youth born into a scholarly family, to a student traversing thousands of miles in exile; from a young scholar in offices across the ocean, to a dedicated contributor to China’s scientific and educational endeavors. His footsteps spanned the Eastern and Western hemispheres, yet his heart remained steadfastly tied to the land of China.
