Hmmmm

Apparently, the mid-life crisis (or late-life crisis) is not limited to the West:

BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Nobel Prize laureate Chen Ning Yang, 82, will marry a 28-year-old post-graduate from south China's Guangdong Province next month, an official with Beijing-based Tsinghua University announced here Friday.

As marriage is a private matter, the official hopes people in all social sectors will respect Yang's choice.

Yang's fiancee, named Weng Fan, is working for a master degree at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Foreign Trade. They are expected to get married in January 2005 at the end of Yang's current semester courses at Tsinghua University.
