Per Wikipedia, Luke Chia-Liu Yuan (Simplified Chinese: ???; Traditional Chinese: ???; Pinyin: Yuán Ji?liú; Wade-Giles: Yüan Chia-Liu; 1912 -2003) Was A Chinese-American Physicist. He Was The Husband Of The Famous Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, Who Disproved The Conservation Of Parity. Born In Anyang, Henan, Yuan Was The Grandson Of Yuan Shikai, The Second President Of The Republic Of China, Via His Third Korean Concubine Lady Kimedia .Luke Studied In Anyang Then At Age 13, He Went To Nankai High School In Tianjin For A Month, But Then Transferred To The Academy Of Modern Learning, Run By A London-Based Missionary. Luke Received A Rather Good Science Education There, With A Cambridge University Educated Dr. Hart Teaching Physics, And His Maternal Uncle Teaching Mathematics. Luke Matriculated At The College Of Industry And Commerce In 1928 As A Major In Engineering. He Transferred To Yenching University In 1930, Where The Chinese Theoretical Physicist Xie Yu-Ming Was A Professor. Luke's Interest In Radio Led To Radio Communications As A Serious Hobby. He Graduated In 1932, Stayed In The Graduate School For Two More Years, And Received A Master's Degree. It Was After Graduation That Luke Worked In Tangshan Coal Mine For One Year. The President Of Yenching University And Later Us Ambassador To China, Leighton Stuart, Was Also A Radio Communications Hobbyist, And Befriended Luke. Stuart Knew Of The Scholarship At Uc Berkeley And Asked Luke If He Was Interested. After Yuan Attended Yenching University In Beijing He Would Go To The University Of California At Berkeley And The California Institute Of Technology To Study Physics. He Began Living In The United States In 1936. That Same Year, He Attended The University Of California, Berkeley And Met Renowned Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, Whom He Married In 1942.[4]: 259 They Were Married At The Home Of Yuan's Advisor Robert A. Millikan And His Wife, With A Caltech Instructor And Priest Officiating The Wedding. Since The Physics Department Head Raymond Birge Would Not Provide Full Scholarship Grants To Yuan And Wu, Yuan Transferred To Caltech, Where He Did His Doctoral Training Under The Nobel Laureate Millikan. Wu Frequently Teased Yuan Since Her Parents Were Rebel Leaders Who Fought Yuan Shikai In The Early Days Of The Republic.[7] She Took Part In The Manhattan Project And Found A Solution On Xenon-135 That Allowed The B Reactor To Operate In Order To Build The Atomic Bomb. Wu Also Conducted The Wu Experiment Which Got Her The Wolf Prize In Physics. Yuan Worked At Rca Laboratories And Then Brookhaven National Laboratory As A Senior Physicist And Science Educator.
