Dr. Tsung Dao lee,a famous Chinese American physicist, favors chopsticks. He said,“Such a simple pair of sticks show a marvelous utilization of the lever principle. Chopsticks are extensions of the fingers,able to do anything fingers do. They can be used in heat and freezing cold. They are wonderful”.
