Description:

Even more shocking than the fact that Li Wei won the world's highest price in theoretical physics at such a young age was the fact that he was found dead at home the day before the award ceremony, having committed suicide at the age of 35.

In his letter to his student Jackie, he wrote: "All these year I have been doing crazy over one thing, Physics is my whole life. The day it ends, the darkness will engulf me."

Many years after the graduation, Zhang Man saw a love letter in her physics book signed by Li Wei, when she was sorting things out. After his suicide, she couldn't eat or sleep at night until she woke up and found herself back at the age of sixteen.

Later, Li Wei became the figurehead of the Physics again, said with an interview with global media: "There are two most important thing in my life, Physics and her. Physics gave me the ability to think in the dark, and she, gave me light."
