Article Abstract:

Several highly-educated Taiwanese are returning to their countries to spearhead the country's research and development efforts. The Taiwanese National Science Council and National Youth Commission's statistics showed that around 23,000 Chinese nationals went back to their homelands from 1990 to Sep. 1994, including renowned Nobel awardee Yuan Tseh Lee. Researchers such as Lee have made a difficult decision to return due to family considerations. However, Lee hopes that the Taiwanese government will provide housing and excellent education to the returnees' children.
