When Chen Yu and his wife were considering where to buy a house, the list of Nobel Prize winners was announced as scheduled.
The recipients of the Medicine Prize, unsurprisingly, were Chen Yu and his wife, which is a rare occurrence in the history of the Nobel Prizes.
Typically, the Nobel Prize is only awarded to one individual; even in cases of joint awards, it is usually due to collaborative research or closely related projects.
Nevertheless, even under such circumstances, it is rare in Nobel history for the award to go to multiple people.
This time, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi were able to receive the award together due to their achievements in different research topics. In addition to political pressure from Russia and the United States, the key reason was that their research had significant implications for human medical progress, making them deserving of the honor.
