Many people attribute China's failure to win the Nobel Prize to China's humanistic environment. Is this reasonable?

The Nobel Prize has been established for more than one hundred years, and the Olympic dream of China people has been fulfilled for one hundred years, but the name of China people has never appeared on the Nobel Prize list. Faced with the announcement of the new Nobel Prize, China people with sour hearts have long been used to sorting out some comfort factors from the list as much as possible. Some China scholars put on a dismissive look, thinking that China people should not pay too much attention to the Nobel Prize in Economics, because it is a scientific evaluation activity centered on Europe.

In fact, China people have always been enthusiastic about the Nobel Prize. In recent years, news or gossip about the connection between China people and the Nobel Prize has never stopped. From Lu Xun to Wang Meng, and then to Anhui poet Ye Shibin, it seems that the Nobel Prize, especially the literary prize, always passes by the Chinese people. More importantly than the Nobel Prize, when the Nobel Prize is announced every year, China people are always lonely. Many people can't help asking: Why are all the winners from the West? How far are China people from the Nobel Prize? Why can't China people win the Nobel Prize?

? In the hearts of Chinese people, there seems to be a lingering "Nobel complex". Objectively speaking, the Nobel Prize does not fully reflect a country's scientific research level, but it is a unique symbol and represents the quality of a country's scientists. When we look back on previous Nobel Prize winners, we will be surprised to find that they not only have persistent scientific spirit of seeking truth, but also have broad feelings of caring for human destiny. This is something more important than the Nobel Prize itself, and it is easy to be ignored by the world.

According to Nobel's will, the only criterion for Nobel Prize selection is the size of achievement, that is, the contribution to the whole human civilization and progress. For example, in 2008, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to three scientists who discovered the viruses that caused AIDS and cervical cancer respectively. These landmark discoveries have undoubtedly brought dawn for mankind to conquer major diseases. In 2007, American scientist Mario and three other scientists made outstanding achievements in the field of gene therapy research, benefiting countless cancer patients, so they were worthy of this honor. History always seems to be full of drama. In front of the laurel of honor, you can't get what you want, you can't get it. Most Nobel Prize winners have no intention of winning the prize at all. These people have long been indifferent to fame and fortune and are willing to be lonely. In the forbidden zone of science, every step they take is unprecedented, so this kind of exploration also means a lifetime of futility and failure. What supports them is the great dream of benefiting mankind.
