Not long ago, Academician Yang Zhenning, a well-known academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, recorded a VCR for the 120th anniversary of Hefei No. 1 Middle School in Anhui Province.
Yang Zhenning expressed his blessings in **, and the words were beady, and what was even more rare was that his thinking was clear and clear, and there was no mud and water.
Many people began to wonder: "Is this old man really 101 years old?".”
Ge Molin, dean of the School of Physics at Beijing Institute of Technology, revealed that Yang Zhenning was able to maintain such a strong body thanks to the careful care of Weng Fan, a beautiful girl in the family.
The state after marriage can best reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the family atmosphere, but it can be seen from Yang Zhenning's mental state that they are not upset because of social prejudices.
The common pattern of forgetting the New Year in social interactions may cause misunderstandings in relationships.
As a result, the 54-year age difference between Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan has caused widespread criticism.
Netizens once commented on the marriage between the two, saying, "Weng Fan's love for Yang Zhenning is a ** investment, and he will run away after fishing, but he didn't expect Yang Zhenning to be physically tough, and it turned out to be a long-term shareholding." However, is this really the case?
01: Knowledgeable and smooth sailing
Yang Zhenning was born in 1922 into a family of writers, he inherited the high IQ of his parents, and showed a high level of academic understanding.
He was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent grades in the college entrance examination, and he published a series of physics research** in his campus life, and also found time to successfully obtain a master's degree.
In 1947, Yang Zhenning got the opportunity to study in the United States and became one of the first Chinese students to study abroad.
At that time, China was suffering from World War II and civil war, and its international status was not prominent. Foreigners regard themselves as high and contemptuous of Chinese, but Yang Zhenning has become the only exception.
During his study abroad, he showed knowledge and ability that shocked everyone, not only integrated into the physics research community of the university, but also successfully entered the field of physics and was elected as the best scholar.
At that time, he was at ease in his career, and even when he was of marriageable age, he did not have time to think about lifelong affairs, but concentrated on the study of physics.
02: The love is just beginning, and we know each other
In 1949, at the Princeton Chinese restaurant, Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili met.
Du Zhili was born into a military family, and her father was Du Yuming, a lieutenant general of the National Revolutionary Army. Because of his father's courage and skill, and his repeated military exploits, their family became the guest of honor at the banquet between Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling.
Du Zhili's proper cultivation and excellent knowledge deeply attracted Song Meiling, so she also personally introduced Du Zhili to study in a girls' school in the United States.
The reason why she met Yang Zhenning was that Du Yuming was captured by the People's Liberation Army in the Huaihai Campaign, and Du Zhili, as the eldest daughter, had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.
In order to work and study, she had to work at a Chinese restaurant in Princeton.
The fate of Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili is not limited to this, as early as 1944, Yang Zhenning went to teach in Du Zhili's high school.
Du Zhili fell in love with the young, handsome and talented Yang Zhenning when she first met him that year, she didn't dare to imagine it before, but when they met again after five years, she had more courage in her heart.
Yang Zhenning also had the same thoughts about Du Zhili, and then, he often frequented the Chinese restaurant, and the two often discussed academic issues together, and gradually showed their sincerity to each other.
03: A double harvest of career and love
They were married at Princeton Church in 1950, and Du's blessing made Yang's career more and more successful.
The following year, he received a high-paying offer from the University of Chicago, but he flatly declined. Du Zhili was puzzled by this, but she didn't question him, because she believed that Yang Zhenning had his own plans.
Soon after, Du also found a job related to education, and both of them achieved success in their respective fields.
Yang Zhenning is a serious worker, he often works until he forgets to sleep and eat, which leads to frequent physical problems, but fortunately, Du Zhili takes care of him meticulously.
Du Zhili allowed Yang Zhenning to concentrate on physics research, thanks to his rare and virtuous help.
In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "theory of non-conservation of the universe" proposed by Lee Tsung-dao, becoming the first Chinese scientist to receive this honor.
After Yang Zhenning won the trophy, his dependence on Du Zhili became deeper, and he even hoped to be able to walk with her when participating in any activities, and the two also became the Condor Heroes in the academic world.
After Yang Zhenning's career stabilized, he raised two sons and two daughters, and he became a happy person with a bumper harvest in his career and family.
04: A fateful encounter
Born in 1976, Weng Fan is in an ordinary family in Chaoshan, Guangdong. She has been slim since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been very good, and she is even more proficient in various talents.
When Weng Fan grew up, he also fulfilled everyone's expectations and was successfully admitted to Shantou University.
In 1997, the World Chinese Physics Exchange Conference was held in Shantou, in which Weng Fan's school became one of the hosts.
Mr. and Mrs. Yang Zhenning were invited to participate in the exchange meeting, which was an honor. Due to the shortage of manpower, Weng Fan was also elected by teachers and students as the hostess of the exchange meeting.
Weng Fan coincidentally became Du Zhili's exclusive guide, because she could get close to Yang Zhenning, so she felt Yang Zhenning's talent and gentleness more intuitively.
Weng Fan is very serious about his work, which makes Du Zhili deeply appreciated. Therefore, after the exchange meeting, the two also left each other's ***
The two often kept in close contact after that, and Du Zhili also enthusiastically made suggestions and analyses for Weng Fan's future, and she advocated for Weng Fan to continue his studies, but Weng Fan ignored it.
05: The pain of first hiding love
Due to her family's circumstances, she joined a company in Shantou after graduation and soon moved to a golf club in Shenzhen.
Here she met the "true love" in her mind, and Weng Fan, who had never experienced love, was conquered by this ordinary Hong Kong man.
Weng Fan married the head of the brain who fell in love quickly, but after marriage, the contradictions between the two continued to intensify in all aspects, which eventually led to their divorce.
Weng Fan wasted 2 years in this marriage, and she regretted it very much, but when she emailed Du Zhili again, she never got a reply.
She later saw the news of Du Zhili's death on a news item and was very sad. At this time, she thought of Yang Zhenning, and could imagine how much of a blow Du Zhili's death had dealt to Yang Zhenning.
After sorting out her emotions, she began to feel pity for Yang Zhenning and sent him a condolence email.
Although Yang Zhenning had received a lot of comfort before, he was still deeply moved when he really saw Weng Fan's letter, because the two only had one side after all.
06: Love over time, break the world
The correspondence between the two gradually increased, and Weng Fan was full of yearning for the future under the guidance of Yang Zhenning, and she developed endless respect and love for Yang Zhenning.
At the same time, Yang Zhenning also has a subtle emotion for this straightforward, enterprising, and intelligent girl.
After a year of correspondence, Weng Fan gradually realized that his feelings for Yang Zhenning had surpassed friendship. She finally mustered up the courage to send a love letter to Yang Zhenning. After Yang Zhenning received it, he was very excited at first, then very surprised, and finally was in a tangled state.
He had already had love for Weng Fan, but he was worried that he was 54 years older than her, and he was afraid that this age difference would hurt her, so he hesitated.
Weng Fan didn't care about those worldly eyes at that time, she pursued Yang Zhenning wholeheartedly, and through hard work, she finally won Yang Zhenning's love response.
After Yang Zhenning confirmed his relationship with Weng Fan, he applied to return to China for development. He bought a villa, and then took Weng Fan into the villa under the pretext of "incompetent nanny".
The news of the two living together immediately attracted the attention of **, and many** began to report widely about their situation. Eventually, under the pressure of **, the two made their romance public.
According to reports, it is reported that after Weng Fan's father learned that his daughter was in love with a man older than himself, he only confirmed two problems with them, and this relationship was agreed by his father.
Did Weng Fan really think it through?On the other hand, we also have to ask Yang Zhenning if she can take care of her, pamper her, and bring her happiness.
Obviously, Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning's relationship was well thought out, but no one believed these words at the time.
After the news of "marriage", the reputation of the two was completely damaged, Weng Fan was considered a woman who coveted vanity, and Yang Zhenning was also labeled as disrespecting elders.
Although they were insulted by bad words, they still firmly chose to come together.
They chose a low-key married life, and they ignored the rumors from the outside world, Weng Fan conscientiously fulfilled his responsibilities as a wife and took good care of Yang Zhenning.
Zhang Zhenning's dependence on his little wife is becoming more and more serious, whether it is participating in activities or academic discussions, he will take her with him, from big to academic ** to small to food, clothing, housing and transportation, he can do everything to the extreme.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two can hardly find any signs of "not love", and when they are surrounded by love, they naturally can't hear any negative sounds.
07: Is the bamboo basket empty?
However, although not being heard does not mean that it does not exist, the misunderstanding of Yang Zhenning and his wife has persisted until 2017.
*'s will states that all his property will go to Du Zhili's children, and Weng Fan will only get the right to use the villa in Beijing.
Please note that Weng Fan does not have the right to sell the villa for cash, this is what the right of use means.
As soon as this news came out, ** immediately leaned towards Weng Fan's side, and there was sympathy for her everywhere. Many people think that Yang Zhenning is scheming, and Weng Fan suffered a big loss in this turmoil.
Some netizens claimed that "Weng Fan's ** investment failed this time, and the result was completely ** firm, and he could only hold it for a long time", and the comments on the Internet were even more mean at that time.
Weng Fan saw these misunderstandings expanding, and she had to clarify, saying that "we really don't have money".
However, everyone does not believe this statement, because after all, Yang Zhenning's social status is well known, and Yang Zhenning's monthly salary of one million has also been verified, how can there be no money?
Since 1997, he has donated all his money to education, first to fund the establishment of the Center for Advanced Study at Tsinghua University, and then to spend money and energy to recruit contacts.
Since 1981, he has established 12 scholarship programs to sponsor 80 talented students. Beneficiaries include Ge Molin, Director of the Theoretical Research Office of Nankai University, Gu Chaohao, President of the University of Science and Technology of China, and Chen Jiaer, President of Peking University.
These students told me that Yang Zhenning really invested most of his wealth in education, keeping only a small part for him and Weng Fan's living expenses.
Come to think of it, it is. Every time I see Yang Zhenning and his wife dressed up when they participate in the event, I can feel that they are more down-to-earth and dressed very plainly.
Weng Fan's explanation is further supported by the clarification of academics, so the credibility of the matter remains high.
After experiencing this "testamentary incident", people's love for them has changed dramatically.
08: Mutual Giving Love
Yang Zhenning's 100th birthday was on September 22, 2021, and although the couple has been keeping a low profile, they still held a birthday banquet on this day.
Celebrities and celebrities in the academic world were invited to participate in the birthday banquet, and Yang Zhenning walked slowly under the support of Weng Fan, full of energy.
Weng Fan's best praise is Yang Zhenning's attitude.
In order to take care of Yang Zhenning's health, she will accompany him to do Tai Chi every day, and at the same time, she will let herself go to bed before 21 o'clock, so that Yang Zhenning can have more time to rest.
Yang Zhenning saw it in his eyes, and his dedication to Weng Fan was also obvious to all. He took Weng Fan's situation into account and understood that she should not be bothered by family matters, so he encouraged her to pursue a doctorate.
With the support of Yang Zhenning, Weng Fan successfully obtained a doctorate degree from Tsinghua University.
Yang Zhenning not only considered Weng Fan's problem as a mother, but also insisted that she freeze her eggsIn addition, he never stopped Weng Fan from leaving to pursue his own happiness.
09: Epilogue
The love between Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan transcends the limits of age and shows the true power of love. If there's a regret, it's"I was not born, and I was old"Right?
The joy of spending every day in the world, being able to accompany you in your life, can be regarded as making up for 54 years.
The two think that the view of "** investment overturning" speculated by netizens is ridiculous, because they believe that love should not be limited by age and identity, and that love can be flat across mountains and seas.
