International Conference on Physics since Parity Symmetry Breaking : in memory of professor C.S. Wu : Nanjing, People's Republic of China 16-18 August 1997 / editorial board Ting-Yang Chen, Da-Hsuan Feng, Tan Lu, Kam-Biu Luk, Luke W. Mo, Benjamin C. Shen, Yung-Su Tsai and Fan Wang.

• Fundamental symmetry -- High energy physics -- General physics -- Reminiscence. 

• Madam Chien Shiung Wu, 20th-century physicist, passed away in February 1997. Born in 1912, she became a renowned scientific figure in the second half of the century. In August 1997, scientists from around the globe gathered in Nanjing, where Madam Wu spent much of her youth, to celebrate her achievements. This volume constitutes the proceedings of the conference. The main advances in fundamental symmetry, nuclear and particle physics since symmetry breaking and the prospects at the turn of the century are addressed. The historical developments of the beta-decay mechanism, vector current conservation, parity, charge conjugation and time reversal nonconservation are depicted by Madam Wu's close friends,
