During the early stage of China's particle physics, as the construction of high-energy accelerator lagged behind China could only ‘talk on paper’ in theoretical research, and ‘depend on Heaven for food to eat’ in cosmic ray research or ‘find shelter under other's roof’ in international cooperation. The establishment of the Multinational Joint Nuclear Research Institute in Dubna created a good opportunity for the development of high energy physics in China. The discovery of anti-sigma negative hyperon left a thick and colorful mark in the history of physics in China. The series of scientific achievements by Chinese scholars in Dubna laid an important knowledge and talent foundation for the development of subatomic physics in China.
