Mrs. Gwen Kao looked quite cute. She dressed real casual for this occasion, in keeping with her husband's unassuming style all his life. Even as Chancellor of Chinese Universtiy in Hong Kong, Dr. Kao went around with windbreakers, T-shirts, and such. One time, he was mistaken for a student by another student there; another time, a caretaker thought he was an intruder.

Please go to "charanischiu" on YouTube and check out "Nobelprize Charles Kao-1." There are three in the series. There are brief footages of Dr. Kao receiving the Nobel Prize. Happy Viewing.

"诺贝尔物理学奖这次破天荒地授予作出如此重要贡献的应用物理学­家是完全合理

的，公平的。毫无疑义，高锟先生对现代有线通信技术作出的贡献是­划时代的，

是他，开启了光纤通信的新时代！因为他，信息社会才会如此快地成­为现实，世界

才会变得如此之小 ！高坤先生理应获得全世界的尊敬"！
