What does the State Scientific and Technological Award mean? It means the State's recognition of the winners' unswerving dedication to their scientific research careers.
On Friday, two new names were added to the list of the country's top award winners in the science and technology field. They are 84-year-old neurosurgeon Wang Zhongcheng and 89-year-old chemist Xu Guangxian.
Like 12 of their predecessors, their old age confirms that scientific research requires whole-hearted devotion and perseverance.
