Hui1, Yong3-zheng4, the deputy director of Chinese State Science Commission 
(Gao1 jia1 ke1 wei4), will lead a delegation to visit US this month. He is 
scheduled to meet Chinese scholars and professionals in NY Chinese Consulate 
Sci. & Tech. Group on 8/29 Sat. 10:00am. The agenda is to introduce the 
recent new reform trend in China, to listen to CSS' opinions on various 
issues and to have a lunch together. According to Mr. Gu, Shenxing, NYC 
Science councilor, this meeting "marks a starting point of new policy for 
overseas CSS". Mr. Hui is not a CCP member. :-) 

Since this is an open meeting, any CSS is welcome to attend, especially 
those who has obtained degrees here. The NYC Consulate Sci. & Tech. Group 
will send an invitation to those who send in their names and addresses.

This symposium will provide a forum for VLSI designers and manufacturing 
engineers as well as academics to present new research and development and 
share technical experiences.  Tutorial sessions on topics of current interest 
by eminent speakers are planned on the first day of the conference.  In 
addition, an industrial exhibition will be held in conjunction with regular 
sessions for paper presentations on the second and third day.  Suggested 
topics include, but are not limited to the following:

A. VLSI TECHNOLOGY - Submicron Technology - GaAs Devices - Testing
- Yield enhancement - Process Simulation - Device Physics and Modelling 
- New process and Materials - Reliability and Quality Control - Failure

3. Celebration of the Great Family of Chinese Physicists .................82

The meeting was sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese 
Association of Science and Technology Association, based on a suggestion by 
Professor T.D. Lee of Columbia University. He and the China Center for 
Advancement in Science and Technology (CCAST) were closely involved in the 
planning and execution of the meeting. 

The meeting was held on May 31 in the Fangfei Garden of the Diaoyutai State 
Guest House. It started in the late afternoon at about 4:20. The long summer 
day allowed us enough time to have a pleasant gethering and it was also late 
enough in the day to have a relaxed atmosphere.

First, let me briefly mention the participants. On the Chinese side, it was 
a Who's Who in Physics. Many of the active and well-known physicists in 
China were there. I was happy to see, among others, Gao Zhongshou who is a 
professor of theoretical physics at Beijing University. 

There were some interesting statistics about this meeting: the age 
distribution of the 300 participants ranged from 29 to 92 years old and this 
year marked the occasion of three significant birthdays: Professor Zhou 
Peiyuan and Professor Zhao Zhongyao 90, Professor C.S. Wu 80, and Professor 
C.N. Yang 70. This year also marked the sixtieth anniversary of the Chinese 
Physical Society. 

There were also a number of physicists from Taiwan, Canada and the US. The 
ones I recognized were: Wu Ta-you and Wu Maw-Kuen from Taiwan; H.C. Lee from 
Canada; Paul Chu, Y.S. Gu, T.D. Lee, C.C. Lin, C.K. Ren, Hai-cang Ren, 
Xiao-gang Wen, C.S. Wu, C.N. Yang, Luke Yuan, Shou-cheng Zhang, and myself 
from the US. Some came with their wives. I apologize for any names I may 
have missed. 

The meeting was divided into three successive sessions. The first half of 
the first session involved opening speeches and congratulatory messages. The 
congratulatory messages were sent by Professor Qian Xuesen, Dr. Wen 
Xiaogang, and OCPA. Dr. Wen is an assistant Professor at MIT, representing 
the youngest generation of Chinese Physicists. The opening speeches were 
delivered by Professor Yan Jici and Prof. Zhu Guangya. Professor Zhu, 
President of the Chinese Association of Science and Technology, was the 
session Chairman. Professor Yan Jici was the most senior physicist presented 
in the meeting. He is one of the founders of the Chinese Physical Society. 

The second half of the first session consisted of on-the-spot interviews 
conducted by Professor T.D. Lee. I believe that no one being interviewed at 
the podium was younger than 80 years old. Facing the audience, Professor 
C.S. Wu sat just to the left of Professor Lee, and seated further left, in 
order, omitting their titles, were Wang Ganchang, Wu Ta-You, Zhou Paiyuan, 
Yan Jici, Zhao Zhongyao, Wang Dezhou, and C.K. Ren. Some talked about their 
experiences as pioneering physics students and physicists in China, some 
were asked about their research accomplishments, and some reminisced about 
their studies and their Chinese contemporaries during their studies in the 
West. It was very touching to listen to the interviews, giving the younger 
physicists in the audience a glimpse into and a feel for what the earliest 
period of Chinese physics was like. 

The second session was a photo session. Four top leaders in the Chinese 
government attended and some of you may have seen a portion of the 
photograph in the People's Daily in the early June. 

After the photo session a buffet dinner was held, giving the participants an 
opportunity to mix in a relaxed atmosphere. After dinner, speeches were 
delivered by Professor Wang Fusong, vice president of the Chinese Academy 
of Sciences, on behalf of President Zhou Guangzhou who was unable to attend, 
and by Professor Yang Guozhen, Director of the Institute of Physics, Chinese 
Academy of Sciences, a premier condensed matter research institute in China. 

In conclusion, I would like to mention that this was a unique gathering, a 
first in the history of Chinese physics. It allowed scientific links to be 
established among Chinese physicists past, present and future, and human 
experiences to be passed on from one generation of physicists to the next. 
Looking at the physicists seated at the podium during the first session gave 
me a sense of the origin and development of modern physics in China. Despite 
having achieved one of the earliest science and technologies in history, 
China's modern physics has had a lonesome beginning, and since then has to 
travel an arduous road leading it to what it has become today. This meeting 
enabled the participants to gain a sense of unity and continuity, to find 
the roots of modern physics in China and to learn its history.

As a general impression of this trip, I felt a sense of dynamic vitality in 
the changes occuring in China today. Professor C.N. Yang's recent speech 
given at a New York City luncheon meeting, as reported in some of the 
Chinese language newspapers, commented on the tremendous potential stored in 
the sciences and technologies in China. I share Professor Yang's optimistic 
view.
