Yue-Liang Wu won the STATE NATURAL SCIENCE AWARD of CHINA for his work on “Theoretical Study of CP Symmetry Violation and Quark-lepton Flavor Physics”. The work has lead to a consistent theoretical prediction on direct CP violation in kaon decays which has been explored for about 40 years, the prediction has been turned out to be well agreement with the experimental measurements by two groups at CERN and Fermilab. Meanwhile, it has also provided a consistent explanation for the ΔI=1/2 isospin selection rule which has been a puzzle in particle physics for about 50 years. A type III two Higgs doublet model with spontaneous CP violation has consistently been established at first time, and some important new physics phenomena have been investigated systematically, it has been shown that the model not only provides the explanation for the origin of CP violation in the standard model, but also leads to rich new CP-violating sources.
