Lee Tsung-dao and Yang Chenning were both the first Chinese Nobel Prize winners. In 1957, 31-year-old Lee Tsung-dao and 35-year-old Yang Chen-ning jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their "research on the law of non-conservation of parity (in weak interactions) and the resulting many discoveries about elementary particles."
