May 11, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of Richard Feynman's birth.
I first saw this news early this morning in an article titled "Commemorating Feynman | Feynman's Ten Great Contributions" on the "Jingshi Physics" public account. I consider myself a Feynman fan, though I can never remember birthdays or zodiac information; what sticks with me are Feynman's stories, both scientific and personal.
I own most of Feynman's works, and I previously wrote "I am a Feynman Fan." Of course, I haven't understood most of them, but I remain fascinated by his theories and stories. I have read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" several times through. They are funny, deep, and to some extent, have influenced my own values.
A true "scientific Little Flying Man" (scientific Peter Pan) not only produces admirable achievements but also leaves behind a life story that provides endless food for thought.
