Return to China of cancer researcher Wang Qianben reunites esteemed scientific family

The recent return to China of cancer researcher and professor Wang Qianben marks the reunion of a family of high-achieving Chinese scientists and the culmination of a decades-long journey for Wang Qi, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) researcher in Beijing.

In the 1970s, Wang Qi bestowed upon his two sons names laden with ambition – Wang Qianfei (“to fly forward”) and Wang Qianben (“to run forward”).

Now, both his children have returned home from the United States as distinguished scientists to lead major national research institutes in China after studying cutting-edge medicine at top American institutions, including Johns Hopkins, Duke and Harvard universities.

Their return to Beijing reunites Qianfei and Qianben with their father, himself an esteemed academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, to embody a unique dedication to both traditional Chinese wisdom and modern global science.
