"ALMOST EVERY PROBLEM HE TOUCHED EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO GOLD"

The title is a quote from my "Yang's Pyramid" — published in the festschrift celebrating Professor Yang's 70th birthday, ≪Chen Ning Yang, a Great Physicist of the Twentieth Century≫. I likened the collection of his scientific works to a pyramid. As time goes on, hidden treasures continue to be discovered, adding to the well-known brilliant ones. This observation of mine continues to bear out in an impressive way. For the celebration of his 85th birthday, I will highlight recent developments of such remarkable achievements and make an attempt to identify the reasons for them, with the backdrop of my own perspectives.
