2009 Nobel Laureate Gao Kun: I'm a man of the world

"The Nobel Prize is an international prize. It aims to commend those achievements and contributions which benefit mankind. Currently, there are only a few Nobel Laureates of Chinese ethnicity. Now another member has been added to the list. It goes without saying that the Chinese people around the world are exhilarated and proud to hear the good news."

After winning the Nobel Prize in Physics on October 6, Gao Kun, "father of optical fibers," have been fully aware of all the Chinese people's excitement, though he is away in the US.
