On Chinese Nobel Prize Winners

Translated by DeepSeek V4 Pro. Translations can be inaccurate, please refer to the original post for important stuff.

I searched online for information regarding ethnic Chinese winning the Nobel Prize. A total of 10 (11) people have received the award:

Tsung-Dao Lee: Born 1926 in Shanghai, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 at the age of 31;
Chen-Ning Yang: Born 1922 in Anhui, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 at the age of 35;
Samuel C. C. Ting: Born 1936 in the USA, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976 at the age of 40;
Yuan T. Lee: Born 1936 in Taiwan, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1986 at the age of 50;
Steven Chu: Born 1948 in the USA, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 at the age of 49;
Daniel C. Tsui: Born 1939 in Henan, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1998 at the age of 59;
Dalai Lama: Born 1935 in Tibet, Chinese nationality, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 at the age of 54;
Gao Xingjian: Born 1948 in Jiangxi, joined French nationality in the same year as the award, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000 at the age of 52;
Roger Y. Tsien: Born 1952 in the USA, Chinese-American, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 at the age of 56;
Charles K. Kao: Born 1933 in Shanghai, holds British and American citizenship as well as Hong Kong permanent residency, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009 at the age of 76.

I hope to see more Chinese faces, and even more, I hope to see "pure" Chinese people appear. Regarding the Nobel Prize, China will certainly not remain silent forever!

Simple Introduction:

The first two are Chen-Ning Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee, 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Yang joined US citizenship in 1964, and Lee joined in 1962 (or 1965?).
Therefore, when they won the award, their status was still Chinese. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists them as "China".

The third is Samuel C. C. Ting, 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Born in the United States, he automatically obtained US citizenship. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "USA".

The fourth is Yuan T. Lee, 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
He joined US citizenship in 1974 and renounced it in 1994. He was an American at the time of the award. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "USA".

The fifth is the 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso), 1989 Nobel Peace Prize.
After the failed rebellion in 1959, he went into exile in India and established the Tibetan Government-in-Exile. However, India only provides aid to these exiled Tibetans and does not allow them to join Indian nationality. Therefore, technically, the Dalai Lama won the award with Chinese nationality, though there is no definitive information online about his nationality. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "Tibet", which should be categorized under China.

The sixth is Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Born in the United States, he automatically obtained US citizenship. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "USA".

The seventh is Daniel C. Tsui, 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics.
The exact time he joined US citizenship is unknown, but it was certainly before 1998. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "USA".

The eighth is Gao Xingjian, 2000 Nobel Prize in Literature.
He joined French nationality in 1997. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "France". He won for the novel Soul Mountain, which is a Chinese novel.

The ninth is Roger Y. Tsien, 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The nephew of Qian Xuesen, born in 1952 in New York, USA. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "USA".

The tenth is Charles K. Kao, 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Charles Kao holds British and American citizenship as well as Hong Kong permanent residency. The introduction on the Nobel Prize homepage lists him as "UK and Hong Kong, China".

Additionally, there is a figure named "Pearl S. Buck". She was not ethnically Chinese, but at the time she received the Nobel Prize, she held Chinese citizenship. In 1938, Pearl S. Buck (Pearl Sydenstricker Buck) won the prize for her work The Good Earth, cited for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China and for her biographical masterpieces. However, the introduction on the Nobel Prize website lists her as "USA".
