SEARCH ASIAWEEK A Question of Pride Asia's Nobel prizes celebrate reform, freedom and innovation By ALEJANDRO REYES ALSO: Inside the Soul Mountain: Gao Xingjian and the freedom to write In Gao Xingjian's play Bus Stop, frustrated commuters wait ten years for a vehicle that never pulls in. The victory bus finally arrived for Gao himself last week when he was named this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. The first Chinese writer to win the prestigious award, Paris-based Gao had been on the shortlist for some years, though the dissident writer's selection was still a big surprise. More prominent Chinese figures acceptable to Beijing had been considered better bets. Some of Gao's rivals were positively peeved. Red Sorghum author Mo Yan hung up when Asiaweek phoned for a reaction. He answered a second call with a "no comment." For the first time, Asia is celebrating three Nobel prizes in the same year. The trio was capped on Oct. 13 when the Nobel committee in Oslo announced that after 14 consecutive nominations, South Korean President Kim Dae Jung had finally won the peace prize for his commitment to democracy, human rights and reconciliation with the Communist North. With Gao, that put two anti-establishment figures on the Nobel honor roll, international recognition that reform and the defense of liberty have become Asia's new touchstones. The third laureate from the region was Shirakawa Hideki of Japan's University of Tsukuba who won the chemistry prize for his work on developing conductive plastics.

Hideki Shirakawa byl narozen v Tokyu 20. srpna 1936. Poté, co postupoval z Tokio institutu technologie s mírou v chemické technologii v roce 1961, on se zapsal do programu absolventa tam a pøijal jeho doktorát z inženýrství v roce 1966. On následovnì pracoval jako asistent v chemikálii laboratoø prostøedkù u jeho alma mater until 1976, když on šel do univerzity Pennsylvanie ve Spojených státech jako výzkumník. Tøi roky pozdìji on se vrátil do Japonska, se pøipojovat k fakultì univerzity Tsukuba jak docenta. V roce 1982 on se stal profesorem, a v dubnu 2000 on byl domluvený profesor vysloužilý. V roce 1983 on dostal ocenìní spoleènosti vìdy polymeru, Japonsko, pro jeho výzkum polyacetylene. Hideki Shirakawa, 64-rok-starý profesor vysloužilý u univerzity Tsukuba, byl jmenoval pøíjemce Nobelovy ceny v chemii pro rok 2000. Cena byla pøedstavována spoleènì k Shirakawa a dva ameriètí vìdci - Alan Heeger, 64, univerzity Kalifornie u Santy Barbara a Alan MacDiarmid, 73, univerzity Pennsylvanie - pro jejich objev a vývoj napomáhajících polymerù nebo plastù, které mohou pøenášet elektrický proud. Shirakawa je devátý Japonec se stát Nobelovým laureátem a první od Kenzaburo Oe, kdo získal cenu pro literaturu v roce 1994. On je druhý Japonec dostat chemickou cenu. První byl pozdní Ken'ichi Fukui, kdo vyhrál to v roce 1981.

EDUCATIONAL For the ten years from the third grade of elementary school to the end of high school, I lived in the small city of Takayama, a town of less than sixty thousand, located in the middle of Honshu, Japan. Even though it was far away from Japan's principal cities, Takayama has been called a "little Kyoto" because of the similarity of its landform to Kyoto, the city sits in a basin surrounded by mountains with a river flowing through it, and because of its long-established cultural heritage and tradition. In this small town, rich in natural beauty, I spent my days enthusiastically collecting insects and plants, and making radios. My affinity for science was awakened and grew during in these ten years. Long after I became a polymer scientist, I occasionally remembered a short composition I had written during my last year in junior high school. At that time students compiled a commemorative collection of compositions describing our future dreams. As I recalled, I wrote something about my wish to be a scientist in the future and to conduct research on plastics useful for ordinary people. I cannot be sure what I wrote exactly because I lost the book of essays during repeated moves afterwards. I had long regretted this loss because I wanted to know more about why and how a junior high school boy decided on a future research career in plastics. Much to my surprise, I found that the full composition I had lost was printed in every Japanese newspaper the day after the

Professor HIDEKI SHIRAKAWA is awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry, 2000. Prof. Shirakawa, at the Press Conference at the University Hall(Oct. 13, 2000) The Royal Swedish Academy of Science has announced that the Nobel Prize in chemistry, 2000, was awarded to Professor (Emeritus) Hideki Shirakawa (Institute of Materials Science, University of Tsukuba, Japan), who jointly shared with Professor Alan J. Heeger (University of California at Santa Barbara, USA) and Professor Alan G. MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania, USA) for the discovery and development of conductive polymers on Oct.10, 2000. Professor Shirakawa has been a faculty member of Institute of Materials Science, University of Tsukuba for more than 20 years and has dedicated his life to both his research and education. He explored a unprecedented new area of polymer science by leading insulating polyacetylene to electrically conducting one. This achievement was often said to be triggered by an accidental mistake a thousand fold too much catalyst was added during synthesis of polymer resulting in a beautiful silvery film which possess many superior properties to metals when he was a research associate of Chemical Resources Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology. When Professor Alan MacDiarmid heard about the film synthesized by Dr. Shirakawa, he invited him to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia as a post-doctral fellow. They worked together with Dr. Alan Heeger in order to understand the mechanisms of the appearance of conductivity in insulating polymers and finally came to a conclusion that it is possible to introduce carriers in polymers by doping: modifying polyacetylene by oxidation with halogen vapor.
