There has always been a saying on the Internet: "As long as there is love, height is not a distance, age is not a problem", so there are many trends, what teacher-student love, grandfather and grandson love, and for some talented women, they pay more attention to talent rather than age, such as Tian Xiaofei, a talented woman from Peking University.

Many people may not be particularly familiar with Tian Xiaofei, but her reputation at Peking University is quite high, she is not just a talented girl, but a little prodigy of Peking University, she was admitted to Peking University at the age of 13, and the 13-year-old child has just entered junior high school, so why would such an excellent Tian Xiaofei choose a person who is over half a hundred years old?Tian Xiaofei, born in Harbin in 1971, grew up in Tianjin with her parents since she was a child, although she had excellent grades when she was a child, she liked poetry very much, and what she liked was not ancient poetry, but Haizi's poems, Haizi's life elements and the main will had a great influence on Tian Xiaofei.

She published a poem in "Tianjin**" when she was four years old, and published 5 poetry collections in a row, although it did not attract too much attention, but it seems to be related to poetry, she began to create poetry many times, at the age of 13, Tian Xiaofei just studied in Tianjin 13 Middle School, but in the poetry creation won the award and was admitted to the Department of Western Languages of Peking University to study English and American literature, she went to Peking University to study at a young age. At that time, Haizi was also at Peking University, in her sophomore year, she finally met Haizi, she found Haizi with her poems, and showed him it, Haizi told her that if you can persevere, you will become a great poet, 16 years old, coinciding with the 90th anniversary of the founding of Peking University, Tian Xiaofei wrote "Thirteen-year-old Encounter", at this time she was already a three-year old student in college.

However, Tian Xiaofei persevered on the road of poetry, and in 1989 Haizi committed suicide, I don't know if Haizi had an influence on her, or if she found another interest, she went to the United States and chose a mainstream major in another direction, and Haizi became the last poet. After receiving her master's degree from the University of Nebraska, she went to Harvard for a Ph.D., where she studied under Stephen Irving, chair of the Department of Language and Civilization.

Owen has a deep knowledge of Tang poetry, the two can be said to be harmonious, he has a deep study of ancient literature, and he has never been married, because before he became a professor, ancient literature could not support him, he had a feeling for Tian Xiaofei, but he didn't know what it was.

But the two kept their distance, until Tian Xiaofei graduated with a doctorate, Tian Xiaofei began to take the initiative to contact the mentor to express his intentions, but Owen refused for the first time, he was too old, more than 20 years older than her, and he was a teacher and student, and the combination of the two had a great impact on Tian Xiaofei's future.

But Tian Xiaofei invited him out many times, once and again to express his intentions, even if Owen was hard-hearted, they held a wedding in the United States on New Year's Day in 1999, and now both of them are teaching at Harvard, Tian Xiaofei occasionally returns to China to give lectures and impart some ancient knowledge.
