The 2022 Future Science Prize, a privately funded science honor established by a group of famous scientists and entrepreneurs, called "China's Nobel Prize," was awarded on Sunday to three Chinese scholars for their outstanding achievement in basic scientific research, an exciting boost to encourage innovation in the country's basic science.

The Life Science Award, the Physical Science Award, and the Mathematics and Computer Science Award of the 2022 Future Science Prize respectively went to Li Wenhui, Yang Xueming, and Mok Ngai-ming, with each of them winning $ 1 million, the award organizer announced.

Lin Chao, chairman of the scientific committee of the 2022 Future Science Prize, said the winners' research has achieved great international influence. It is the spirit of exploration and continuous scientific research of these scientists that have broadened human beings' cognitive boundaries in the macro and micro world, and set the direction for an uncertain future.

The Future Science Prize aims at recognizing scientific successes and innovations in China with long-term significance to the world. Chinese research fellows generally believe the selection of famous scientists will play a positive role in encouraging innovation in basic science in China and inspire scientific eagerness among young people.

Liu Dingzhen, a professor from the College of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal University, said that on Sunday that encouraging China's basic science is of great significance, because basic science takes a long period of time to harvest achievements but it is one of the key factors for the country to resolve bottlenecks in technology, secure supply chains in global competition and achieve the goal of becoming a powerful nation in science and technology.

The prize committee, composed of 23 outstanding scientists, is at the core of the award selection. The award ceremony of the 2022 Future Science Prize is scheduled to be held in November.

Since 2016, 24 winners have been awarded the Future Science Prize, all of whom have been widely recognized both in scientific circles and in society.
