Early in the morning of May 30, 1974, the Chairman unexpectedly asked to see a special person. This was rare in the later years of the Chairman. After all, the chairman is 81 years old, his health is not good, and his eye problems are even more worrying. But in the early morning, the chairman suddenly informed the people around him that he wanted to contact someone at the liaison office, and he must see him within an hour, and the location was set at the Juxiang Book House in Fengze Garden, Zhongnanhai. Who is this person?He is Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee, a Chinese scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Mr. Yang Chenning. This is Tsung-Dao Lee's second visit to China, and he did not ask to meet Chairman ***. However, ** showed unusual interest in him.

**The chairman was already seated on the large sofa and greeted Lee Tsung-dao and his party. At the first meeting, the chairman asked directly: "Shanghainese, have you ever been to the sea?"Such an unexpected question made Lee Tsung-dao a little stunned. ** Then explains: "Where there is Shanghai, there is the sea, symmetrical and asymmetrical, and it is disproportionate." The language is fluent and effortless, bringing the issue of symmetry into the subject of the conversation. His research focuses on Tsung-Dao Lee's research area, symmetry and asymmetry in physics. This seemingly casual conversation is actually a battle of experts in the professional field. Then move on: "Your theory doesn't make it clear. Without waiting for Lee Tsung-dao to answer, the chairman continued: "The theory comes from **?."
Starting from applied science, then guiding applied science. The chairman's remarks broke down the reason why he suddenly met Lee Tsung-do, that is, he was interested in physics problems. Not long ago, Prime Minister ** met with Lee Tsung-dao, who talked about the issue of cultivating scientific talents and put forward some suggestions. **Acknowledges this, but does not seem to fully agree with Dr. Lee's views. **'s philosophical perspective also prompted him to suddenly decide to meet the famous Chinese physicist. ** The interest and vitality surprised and delighted Lee Tsung-do. During the exchange, physical issues such as symmetry, equilibrium, electrons, and particles were discussed, which led to a professional in-depth. The talks were originally planned to last only a few dozen minutes, but they lasted for two hours.
For the chairman, who is already in his 80s, this kind of communication is not easy, but he still maintains an active mind and unique insights. This unforgettable meeting of Lee Tsung-dao became the only exchange with Chairman *** in his life, which left a deep impression.

In his reminiscences, he expressed his admiration for maintaining an active mind at an advanced age. **In his later years, the Chairman's attention to natural sciences and his spirit of intellectual curiosity are worthy of learning from future generations.
