21世纪的第一天,中国科学院院士著名物理学家杨福家被聘为英国著名学府诺丁汉大学校长。这是中国人首次成为西方著名大学的最高长官。英国诺丁汉大学是所综合大学,教职员有5000人,其中教授200人。有1800多名来自世界各国的留学生。历来只有王室和有爵位的人才能担任校长。一向比较保守的英国这次聘请一个中国人杨福家当校长,是中国科学飞速发展改变他们对中国的看法,也是对杨福家在科学研究和教学成就的高度评价和认可。
On the first day of the 21st century, Yang Fujia, a famous physicist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was hired as the president of Nottingham University, a famous British institution. This is the first time that the Chinese have become top officials of prestigious Western universities. University of Nottingham is a comprehensive university with 5,000 faculty members, of whom 200 are professors. There are more than 1,800 international students from all over the world. Historically only the royal family and the knighthood can serve as principal. The relatively conservative Britain, employing principals like Yang Fu-chiah as a Chinese at this time, is the rapid development of science in China that has changed their view of China. It is also a high appraisal and recognition of Yang’s achievements in scientific research and teaching.
