Yangzhou will always be home. May Henry Lee, the renowned Chinese American forensic scientist, rest in peace. Our heartfelt condolences to his family. 🕊️
“Born in the Chinese mainland, he grew up in Taiwan and rose to fame in the US. But only in Yangzhou did we have a home, not a hotel.” The wife of renowned forensic scientist Henry Lee returned his ashes to Yangzhou on Oct 18.

German-backed Innomotics Standard Motors, based in Yizheng, a county-level city of Yangzhou, has been accredited as a Jiangsu provincial foreign-funded R&D center, becoming the second enterprise in the city to earn this recognition.
