Shoichi Sakata(1911-1970) was an eminent Japanese theoretical physicist who studied nuclear physics and particle physics. He combined his scientific research with the materialist dialectics. His theory caught Mao Zedong’s attention in the 1960s. He proposed that even elementary particles were composed of constituent particles. This proposition was resonant with Mao’s thought that matter could be divided infinitely. Sakata dedicated himself to pushing forward the scientific communications between China and Japan. He visited China in 1956 and 1964. Based on archives and other historical materials, this article makes a special inquiry into the relationship between Sakata and Chinese scientists and leaders as well as Sakata’s contributions to promoting the friendship between China and Japan.This period of history shows the scientific exchanges and cooperation between China and the worldwide from a specific point of view. In addition to this, it also reflects that science doesn't different from countries, but the scientific exchanges and activities are closely related to society, philosophy, politics, diplomacy, etc. |
