  • The Persevering Spirits: the 2018 Tang Prize Laureates

    Providing scientific evidence to establish the reality of climate change, developing targeted therapies to combat cancer, renewing our understanding of the history and literature of the Tang and Song dynasties, and increasing our knowledge of the nature of law, these remarkable achievements of the 2018 Tang Prize recipients have earned universal recognition and applause. Nonetheless, none of these successes came overnight. Conducting in-depth interviews with each laureate, veteran journalist Yu-fang Liang then chronicled their decades-long endeavor in this biography, narrating the moving stories about how they refused to give up and how they persevered until crucial breakthroughs were made. Life is like a marathon race. It takes unshakable faith and persistence to reach and cross that finishing line, as demonstrated by the 2018 Tang Prize winners.

  • 2018 Tang Prize Photo Album

    From the editors:

    “This year, eight extraordinary people were named Tang Prize laureates across four fields: Sustainable Development, Biopharmaceutical Science, Sinology and Rule of Law. Each one of them addressed a topic that is as crucial to their field as it is to humanity as a whole: climate change, cancer therapy, cross-cultural communication, fundamental legal philosophy. The glory of the awarding, the fanfare of the events, and the depth of knowledge and discussion are nor produced out of nothing — each Tang Prize Week is only possible through the hard work of the employees and partners of the Foundation. This book is also a record of their daily effort. It ensures that the third awarding of the Tang Prize will be known to future generations."

  • 2016 Tang Prize Photo Album

    From the editors:

    “This book sitting before you tells the story of the second biennial Tang Prize activities, through pictures and text, in a language of feeling and thought.

    From the award ceremony and concert to the lecture series and exhibitions, we strove to capture the moments, both grand and quaint, that define Tang Prize Week—it is those moments that share with you here.

    We admit, looking back over the records, that there were simply too many great moments to include in their entirety. While we have included as much as was possible, there remain many unforgettable moments, and certainly many irreplaceable colleagues, that do not appear in the present volume. We offer our sincere thanks for everyone whose involvement was essential to the week’s success.”
