The winner of this award must have dedicated his or her career to educating the public about science, research and technology, as well as promoting the importance of science and technology internationally. Nominations for the Prize are recommended by a dedicated international jury and approved by the Director-General of UNESCO.
The winner of this prize will receive £2,000 (or $20,000) and a silver Albert Einstein medal.
In later generations, Professor Li Xiangyi, director of the Huaguo Science and Technology Museum, director of the popularization department of the Huaguo Association for Science and Technology, and chairman of the Huaguo Natural Science Museum Association, became a Chinese who won this award.
Perhaps it is the role of his book "When Human Beings Begin to Look Up at the Starry Sky"? Lu Qiujian really can't think of any other reason, his book has been translated into dozens of languages and sold all over the world, and the sales volume has surpassed Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and "The Universe in the Shell", setting a sales record for popular science books, and playing a huge role in the popularization of scientific knowledge, so it is also appropriate to win this award.

"Yes, it's the UNESCO Prize! I've just been informed that you are the only laureate this year!" said excitedly, adding that in some years the Kalinga Prize has been awarded without or at the same time, and the honor of winning a single prize is undoubtedly higher.
In the history of this award, there are also scientists who have made outstanding contributions, such as the American scientist Warren Weaver, who pioneered molecular biology and mechanical translation, and later the British Wilkins, Crick and the American Watson won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their understanding of the three-dimensional molecular structure of DNA, announcing that biology has officially entered the era of molecular biology.
The founder of the hypothesis of the origin of life, the second scientific theory that established life on earth as a whole. Alexander Ivanovich Obarin, a biologist of the Red Empire, who is hailed as a pioneer in the study of the origin of life, whose trilogy on the origin of life is still remembered by the scientific community today.
Sir Fred Hoyle, President of the Royal Astronomical Society, who has contributed significantly to the elucidate of the composition of heavy elements in stars and created the steady-state model of the universe. At the same time, he also proposed the theory of elemental synthesis with the Burbitches and Fowler, which is the famous B2FH theory. The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Fowler in 1983, but he missed the prize because of tensions with certain institutions.
President of the Royal Academy in London, President of the British Chemical Society, President of the Faraday Society, Governing Member of the National Space Navigation Commission, and 1967 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry George Porter, who received the honor in 1976 along with Obarin for his dedication to children's education. For his famous quote, "Children are born scientists." They like to get to the bottom of things and are extremely imaginative. And this is precisely the necessary motivation and factor for a real scientist to engage in scientific research. Lu Qiujian also agreed.
In addition, there is Dennis Flanagan, the old editor-in-chief of one of the world's most influential popular science magazines, Science Mi Guoren. The German science popularizer Homar von Dietfurd, who wrote "Philosopher's Words: Man and Nature", and other well-known figures from all walks of life.
"Thank you very much for telling me the good news!" Lu Qiujian thanked him softly, I am afraid that the person who is happier than himself now is President Yuan Xinye of the Beijing Normal University Press! With this good news, it is estimated that the book "When Mankind Begins to Look Up at the Starry Sky" will be reprinted again, and then it will be a big hit!
"Also, UNESCO invites you to travel abroad for this ceremony. As he spoke, the other party began to introduce the time and place of the ceremony.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to this!"

You better arrange for someone else to accept the award on my behalf, and by the way, help me say sorry to the organizers and UNESCO!"
"That's a pity!" the other person's tone did not mean any regret. It seems that after saying this, it seems a little more relaxed, "Then I will arrange for my country's staff at UNESCO to accept the award on your behalf, and the medal will definitely be delivered to you as soon as possible after receiving the award!"
"Well, this matter will trouble you!" After speaking, Lu Qiujian hung up the phone, and at this time, the car also drove directly into the Beijing Railway Station, he entered his special train, and boarded the journey back to Chang'an.
Lu Qiujian doesn't care about this award, the media will not let go of this good opportunity for hype, although the popular science award cannot be compared with the Nobel Prize, but this is also the industry's No. 1 award. And it's approved by UNESCO, so it can definitely be used for a lot of hype.
After the news was published, the Internet became lively again because of Lu Qiujian, and some good people carefully counted the honors that Lu Qiujian had received. NCAA Champion and MOP, Chern Prize in Mathematics, First Class National Natural Science Award, Wolf Medal, Fields Medal, Nobel Prize. During this period, there are also Bundesliga champions, German Cup winners, Champions League winners, German Cup winners, European Cup winners, Club World Cup winners, Bundesliga, Champions League Golden Boot and best player, European Golden Boot awards, European Footballer of the Year, World Footballer of the Year, and then two gold medals in the Olympic Games!
"Hey, it's enough for an average cow to get any of these things to make everyone admire!, but it seems easy to put Professor Lu here?" someone sighed.
"How long has it been since so many awards have been collected, and these awards are in many different fields, has such a figure been born in the history of mankind?"
