Because of his admiration for Professor Enrico Fermi, Yang Zhenning chose the University of Chicago, where he received his doctorate.
Professor Fermi appreciated his talent very much and invited him to stay and teach after graduation. Yang Zhenning readily accepted Professor Fermi's invitation. Not long after, a physics Daniel came to the University of Chicago. This man is Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer's speech completely convinced Yang Zhenning.
In any case, he decided to follow Oppenheimer for further study. After many inquiries, Yang Zhenning learned that Oppenheimer was the dean of the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton University.
It is not easy to enter this institute, at least it needs to be recommended by internationally renowned physicists, and Professor Fermi is absolutely capable.
On this day, Yang Zhenning found Professor Fermi and put forward his wish to enter the Institute of Advanced Studies. Professor Fermi wrote him a letter of recommendation very readily.
Before leaving, Professor Fermi kindly warned him: "It is good for advanced research institutes to engage in academics, but their ideas are too idealistic and somewhat divorced from reality, so it is best not to stay there for too long."
Yang Zhenning vowed to Professor Fermi: "Don't worry, I will only stay there for one year, and I will come back after one year."
The Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton University has gathered the world's top physics talents, including Einstein, the genius with the largest brain capacity in the world.
Yang Zhenning plunged into the ocean of physical knowledge. He is like a seed that absorbs nutrients madly, and gradually grows into a towering tree here.
A year passed quickly, and Oppenheimer invited this wonderful young man to stay here. Yang Zhenning signed a five-year contract with him without hesitation.
Yes, Yang Zhenning regretted it. What he said to Professor Fermi has long been forgotten by him. Yang Zhenning chose to stay here because he met her destiny takes a hand-Du Zhili in Princeton.
Du Zhili, 1927, a native of Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. It is said that Mizhi's mother-in-law and Suide's sweat show that this place has been rich in beautiful women since ancient times. Her mother Cao Xiuqing is a famous beauty in Mizhi, and so is Du Zhili.
His father was Du, a famous Kuomintang general. His father was very strict with Du Zhili since he was a child, and he also attached great importance to her education. However, Du spent many years abroad, and most of the time lived with his mother.
Under the influence of her mother, she was very independent since she was a child. In addition, she is beautiful and sensible, which can be said to be loved by everyone.
1944, Du Zhili studied in the middle school attached to The National SouthWest Associated University. It happened that Yang Zhenning, who had just been admitted by American students at public expense, worked as a temporary teacher here, so Yang Zhenning became a math teacher in Du Zhili.
Du Zhili, who is smart, beautiful and has excellent academic performance, stands out in the class, which naturally attracts Yang Zhenning's attention.
But at this time, Yang Zhenning is just Du Zhili's love for good students.
A year later, Yang Zhenning set foot on the road of American mathematics, and Du Zhili continued to study in China. It should be difficult for them to overlap again.
But fate is so wonderful.
1947, Du Zhili, who graduated from Fu Jen Catholic University, planned to study in the United States. At this time, her father Du was also ill, and Du was somewhat disheartened by the civil war launched by Chiang Kai-shek.
As soon as his parents discussed it, Du went to the United States to see a doctor, and he could take care of his daughter by the way. Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to let go of the Kuomintang minister of humerus, so he sent someone to stop Du who had boarded the plane.
Du Zhili had to go to the United States alone, and Du Zhili just turned 18 this year.
At that time, her younger brother Du Zhiren was studying in a middle school in Princeton, and Du Zhili often got together with his younger brother during holidays.
When she first arrived in the United States, Du Zhili entered the Wesleyan College arranged for her in Song Meiling. At that time, she was carefree, not to mention worrying about her livelihood.
Every day, she goes to her favorite coffee shop and enjoys a cup of afternoon tea. Every weekend, she either goes to see an interesting movie or goes to the bookstore to read quietly. Everything is so beautiful.
However, with the changes in the domestic situation, the quiet life has also been broken, especially after the Huaihai Campaign, her father Du was captured, and her living conditions plummeted.
Unable to pay the high tuition fees of Wesleyan College and unable to return to the motherland, Du Zhili was forced to transfer to Saint Vincent College in New York.
Here she is no longer the little princess in people's eyes. In order to make up the tuition, she had to find a part-time job and live a part-time life.
1949 On Christmas Eve, Du Zhili came to Princeton again to spend Christmas with Du Zhiren.
There is a Chinese restaurant called Tea Garden Restaurant in Princeton, which has almost become Du Zhili's kitchen. Every time she comes to Princeton, she will eat here because it is cheap and delicious.
On this day, Du Zhili came to this restaurant again, and authentic Chinese food made Du Zhili very happy.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into her ear. Du Zhili turned his attention away from the food and looked around the restaurant.
Finally, her eyes were fixed on the face of a young man at a nearby dining table. I don't know why, this man looks familiar, but I can't remember where I met him at the moment.
Quickly searching for this familiar face in my mind, Du Zhili's eyes couldn't help but stay on this man's body.
Maybe I feel someone staring at me. Yang Zhenning, who was eating, suddenly looked up. In an instant, two people's eyes met, and memories that had been dusty for five years followed.
"It's her (him)!" Two people mind a voice at the same time.
After the surprise, Yang Zhenning looked at Du Zhili. I haven't seen her for five years. This former girl has grown slim, with a beautiful face, gentle and lovely temperament, and exudes fatal attraction. Yang Zhenning's calm heart lake can't help but ripple.
Du Zhili also remembered the math teacher in middle school at this moment. When he met an old friend from another country, Du Zhili was also very happy and unconsciously put a smile on his face.
Yang Zhenning smiled and walked to Du Zhili slightly nervously: "Are you Du Zhili? Long time no see. "
"It's me, Miss Yang. I didn't expect to meet you in America. "
"Don't call the teacher. I was just a temporary guest at that time. We are not much different in age. Just call me by my name. "
In a strange place, they are all excited to meet familiar people. On this day, they talked a lot, and Du Zhili's happy laughter came from time to time in the restaurant.
Du Zhili was deeply impressed by Yang Zhenning's profound knowledge, diligent attitude and gentle temperament.
The meeting left a shadow of each other in their hearts. When they broke up, they left each other contact information and agreed to meet again another day.
From that day on, Yang Zhenning often called Du Zhili and invited her to dinner and shopping. Gradually, the two struck a spark of love.
It was in order to meet Du Zhili, who was studying in new york, that Yang Zhenning ignored his promise and chose to stay in Princeton.
I wonder if Professor Fermi would call him "the opposite sex is inhuman" if he knew the real reason why he stayed in the Institute of Advanced Studies.
In a foreign land, two lonely hearts quickly approached. 1950 On August 26th, the love between Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili finally came to fruition, and they entered the marriage hall hand in hand.
This year, Du Zhili was 23 years old and Yang Zhenning was 28 years old.
As Yang Zhenning once said, "I fell in love with her at first sight when I met her in Princeton, and I decided to marry her for the rest of my life." Their meeting was like destiny takes a hand. Sooner or later, both of them will pass by.
After marriage, in order to support Yang Zhenning's scientific research, Du Zhili chose to be a Chinese teacher at Shixi Branch of new york University. Because the working hours were easier, she had more time to take care of her husband's daily life.
Du Zhili's liveliness and enthusiasm are good neutralizers for Yang Zhenning's boring physical research.
The combination of two people can be said to be a match made in heaven, bringing out the best in each other.
195 1 year, their first child was born. Yang Zhenning's father, Yang Wuzhi, was very happy when he heard the news, and personally named his grandson Yang Guangnuo.
It can be seen from this name that the old man's expectation for his son Yang Zhenning is to win the Nobel Prize.
After having children, Du Zhili stayed at home most of the time. Yang Zhenning never has to worry about sending her children to school and taking them to see a doctor.
In fact, in a sense, Yang Zhenning is also equivalent to a child in Du Zhili, because taking care of him is not easier than taking care of a child.
When he is happy, Yang Zhenning will talk to Du Zhili about art and think about the future; Inspired by generate, Du Zhili will accompany him to use his imagination and discuss all kinds of unclear things; When Yang Zhenning was depressed when he encountered problems in scientific research, Du Zhili had to play the role of a psychologist to calm his mood.
Du Zhili made it easy to switch between various roles every day.
As Xu Yuanchong, a good friend of Yang Zhenning said, "Yang Zhenning is a scientist after all. He is busy day and night and has poor self-care ability. He can't say that daily affairs are barrier-free, and making friends is even more tiring. "
It can be seen that although Yang Zhenning has reached the point of prostration in the professional field, his living ability is also appalling.
Fortunately, there is a virtuous wife standing behind him. As long as you are in charge of scientific research, I will handle the rest for you.
It is because of Du Zhili's regret that Yang Zhenning can devote himself to scientific research, and get the highest honor as a physicist and the Nobel Prize in Physics six years later.
Yang Zhenning, who won the Nobel Prize, knows that Du Zhili has tried his best to support his scientific research for many years. Although he is not good at words, his gratitude to his wife has been buried deep in his heart.
This time, he will surprise his wife and thank Du Zhili for her tolerance and connivance in the past six years.
That is to take her to the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm.
1957 at the award ceremony, Du Zhili wore a light-colored cheongsam with a proud smile on her pretty face and walked slowly arm in arm with the Swedish king.
Her beauty is moving, natural and graceful stunning the whole venue, let the world see the great charm of oriental women.
In fact, Yang Zhenning also made great sacrifices for Du Zhili, the most painful of which was that he could not return to China.
After the founding of New China, he was invited many times, hoping that he could return to the motherland, but Yang Zhenning refused.
He doesn't want to come back? No, he didn't want to return to the embrace of the motherland in a foreign land, just because Yang Zhili's mother, Cao Xiuqing, was tricked into Taiwan Province Province by Chiang Kai-shek. Once he returns to the mainland, there is no doubt that he will send a message that Yang Zhenning's heart is * * *.
With their understanding of Chiang Kai-shek, at that time, Cao Xiuqing in Taiwan Province Province will definitely have an accident.
Yang Zhili watched her husband worry all day, knowing that it was all for her.
But what can she do? After all, men in Taiwan Province Province are their mothers.
After winning the Nobel Prize, Yang Zhenning's position on the international stage rose sharply, which gave Du Zhili hope. She suggested that Yang Zhenning put pressure on Taiwan Province Province as a Nobel Prize winner and asked Chiang Kai-shek to send Cao Xiuqing to the United States for medical treatment.
Chiang Kai-shek did not refuse this time. One, of course, is to estimate Yang Zhenning's international influence. Another idea is for Cao Xiuqing to persuade Yang Zhenning to go to Taiwan Province Province.
On this day, Cao Xiuqing, who was sending and receiving letters, was suddenly told that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to see her.
This is really weird. Since Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Taiwan Province Province, he has been indifferent to the Cao Xiuqing family. How can he be abnormal this time?
With uneasy feelings, Cao Xiuqing came to the presidential palace. I didn't expect Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek to be there.
The first speaker was Song Meiling: "Congratulations, Mrs. Du, your son-in-law Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize." In a word, Cao Xiuqing understood the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek summoned her today.
However, Cao Xiuqing is not prepared to give the former sister a good look. He just snorted, and then Chiang Kai-shek came over and asked, "Mrs. Du, how is your family?"
Speaking of family members, Cao Xiuqing is even more angry. He said coldly, "What's the good? My sons have committed suicide. "
It turned out that their eldest son Du Zhiren, because he couldn't afford the tuition, Chiang Kai-shek turned his back on people and committed suicide in the United States on 1956.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled awkwardly at Cao Xiuqing's words and said, "I hope you can go to the United States and persuade Yang Zhenning to come to Taiwan Province Province." Then he gave Cao Xiuqing a round-trip ticket to the United States.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek will not trust Cao Xiuqing easily. She is not allowed to bring her children to the United States this time, and it is only half a year. As a result, Cao Xiuqing returned his plane ticket as soon as he arrived in the United States, and the money he got was sent to the children in Taiwan Province Province.
Because she knew that as long as her daughter and son-in-law didn't fall into Chiang Kai-shek's hands, her children would be safe in Taiwan Province Province, and this time, it was also her only chance to leave Taiwan Province Province.
Cao Xiuqing was finally reunited with her daughter in the United States. With Yang Zhenning's help, Cao Xiuqing obtained long-term residency in the United States.
1959, Du was released from prison by amnesty. The first thing he did after he got out of prison was to write a letter to his American wife, hoping that she could go back to China and reunite with herself.
1963 10 With the help of Yang Zhenning, Cao Xiuqing finally returned to Beijing to reunite with her husband after a long absence of 14 years.
197 1 Sino-US relations eased. After 26 years, Yang Zhenning finally set foot on the land of the motherland again and met his father who missed him day and night.
Since then, Yang Zhenning has often returned to China and made great contributions to China's science and technology. His wife, Yang Zhiyuan, has always been inseparable from him. She was once called "a great woman behind a successful man" by the media.
No matter how unforgettable love is, it can't be separated from time. In 2003, Du Zhili, who spent 53 years with Yang Zhenning, passed away. Yang Zhenning is 8 1 year old.
Surprisingly, one year later, Yang Zhenning announced her engagement to Weng Fan, a 28-year-old student.
For a time, it caused an uproar. Some people say that Yang Zhenning's wife had a new love before her bones were cold, because she disrespected the old and became a teacher for nothing. Others say that Weng Fan betrayed himself for money and status.
In a word, the accusation of their love is far more than the blessing.
But is this really the case? If we compare the photos of Weng Fan with those of Du Zhili when she was young, we will be surprised to find that they are simply twin sisters.
In fact, Weng Fan and Du Zhili have met. 1995, Shantou university held a meeting of physicists, and Weng Fan was responsible for the reception. Both Mr. and Mrs. Yang Zhenning like this cheerful and beautiful student very much, and they also left contact information for each other.
At first, Weng Fan's contact with Yang Zhengning was limited to academic issues. It was not until Du Zhili died and Yang Zhenning returned to China to settle down that the contact between Weng Fan and Yang Zhengning became frequent, and it was during this period that they developed feelings.
Why did Weng Fan choose to marry Yang Zhenning, who is 54 years older than himself? Whether it's true love or not, we don't know, but it should be said that Yang Zhenning's talent and status really attract Weng Fan, 28.
While Yang Zhenning chose Weng Fan, there may be a large part of the reason, because she is too much like Yang Zhiyuan when she was young. Yang Zhenning saw the shadow of his wife in her, and this person is Du Zhili.
Now 18 years have passed, and their feelings remain the same. In an interview, 99-year-old Yang Zhenning said that after his death, Weng Fan was allowed to remarry.
Weng Fan was very angry with him at that time.
Yang Zhenning said, "Life is very complicated. There is no absolute right or wrong. I agree with you to get married in the future This is old Yang Zhenning and young Yang Zhenning. I hope you will never get married again. "
True love will not be influenced by secular eyes, and love that can be put down is even more valuable. I wish them to go hand in hand to the end and walk out of an unforgettable love fairy tale.
