During his lifetime, Nobel made a will in 1895, using most of his property of $9.2 million as a fund and his annual interest ($200,000 per year) to set up five prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace (the Swedish National Bank added an economics prize in 1969) to reward scholars who made the greatest contribution in the above fields that year. Starting from the year of 190 1, the bonus will be paid at 4: 30 pm every year when Nobel dies. He made generous donations to various humanitarian and scientific charities, entrusted most of his property to the trust, and established the Nobel Prize, which later became the highest international honor, namely the Nobel Peace Prize, Literature Prize, Physics Prize, Chemistry Prize, Physiology Prize or Medicine Prize (among which the Nobel Prize in Economics was added by the Swedish National Bank on 1968).
In the history of world science, there is such a great scientist: he not only devoted all his life to the cause of science, but also left a will behind him and donated all his legacy to the cause of science in order to repay future generations and strive to climb the peak of science. Today, the science prize named after him has become the highest science prize that attracts worldwide attention. His name, together with the achievements made by mankind in scientific exploration, will always remain in the history of civilization in the development of human society. This great scientist is the famous Swedish chemist Alfred bernhard Nobel.
