Yesterday Gavin’s wife Wang Hua took me through the beautiful botanical garden on Minhang campus. The tree and plant varieties are posted, and there are so many beautiful pagodas with benches, flowers and trees.
We came upon tame ducks, swans, and rabbits, and fish in the large stream.
Then we went to lunch, then I read Foreign Affairs in the library, about how Deng Xiaopeng did so well to set up leadership and make small economy moves that improved the economy, like rewarding managers based on production.
Then Wang Hua took me to the museum/physics library built 5 years ago in memory of Lee Tsung-Dao who co-won the nobel prize in physics in 1957 at the age of 31.
These are letters he sent to his students.
This is an art piece suggesting his Superstring theory. Behind it is a red piece with the timeline of his life and papers and discoveries. It’s a beautiful building.
