摘要：
On the 4th July, 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced the discovery of a particle consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson. As the CERN Director General Rolf Heuer put it: "We have reached a milestone in our understanding of Nature". The high-energy physics community has been much excited about it ever since. Why is it so? What is this long-sought Higgs boson? Where do we find it if existed at all? What has it told us and will tell us about Nature? In this colloquium, I would like to share a reminiscence about the developments of those most profound concepts in modern theoretical physics: the gauge theory and its spontaneous symmetry breaking, the Goldstone theorem, the Higgs mechanism, and the prediction for the Higgs boson as well as the associated new physics in the Tera scale, which have led the way to the largest scientific project in history, the LHC, and to the monumental achievement in understanding of Nature.
