Not only thatThe most outstanding female vocal educator in our countrywithWorld-renowned soprano singer, evenhas cultivated a number of outstanding singers such as Li Shuangjiang, Jiang Yong, and Fu Haijing.
It's a pity that Qian Lao and Jiang Ying passed away one after another more than ten years ago, soHow did the two godbrothers and sisters enter the palace of marriage, and how are their children doing now?
In 1919, Jiang Ying was born in a famous family in Zhejiang, it is not an exaggeration to say that famous families are famous:Great-grandfather Jiang GuangxuIt is famous in the late Qing DynastyBibliophile, built with"Don't fast".Father Jiang Bailiis **famousMilitary Educator。Even her family's relatives are not small: martial arts ** mastersJin Yong is her cousin, a famous poetXu Zhimo is her cousin
Born in such a family with excellent family members and relatives, how can Jiang Ying be sent to **? It may be that the inherited genes are good, and parents also attach importance to all aspects of their children's education and training, soWhen Jiang Ying was very young, the Jiang family found that she was extremely talented in **, so they focused on cultivating her ability in this area.
When she was about 6 years old, Jiang Ying was sent to a ** school for systematic study, and at the age of 16, she followed her family to Europe. At that time, Jiang Ying was fascinated by the strong artistic atmosphere in Europe, so with the consent of her family, she decided to stay in Germany**University of BerlinConduct the study.
During her studies, she was not lazy to study because of her high talent, on the contrary, she always went out earlier and returned late than others, which led to her grades always being much higher than her classmates. Before graduating, she was always invited to sing by the most famous local theater and became the most popular female singer in the theater.
But Jiang Ying felt that this was not enough, and decided to continue her studies in Switzerland. In 1943, a famous soprano teacher held a national soprano competition at the ** annual meeting. In order to fight for my country's face, Jiang Ying did not hesitate to participate in the competition, and all eyes were on itShe came in first, becoming the first East Asian winner of all timeThe foreigners present were amazed that there was such a powerful figure in China.
After her fame began, many famous European artists invited Jiang Ying to participate in singing, and she also got a lot of guidance. After completing her studies, Jiang Ying decided to return to China to dedicate herself, and after returning to China, she taught at *** College all year round, not only authored and translated a number of works, but also organized and guided large-scale ** conferences"Starlight"., dedicated to those who have silently contributed to the cause of the countryAstronauts
During this period, she also cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for the countryFu Haijing, Zhu Ailan, Li Shuangjiang, Zhao Dengying, etc. have all become internationally renowned vocalists.
Such an excellent Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen are married again, which can be described as a strong alliance and a match made in heaven. So how did the two of them meet and fall in love?
In fact, the two of them have known each other since they were children, and their fathers are close friends, so it can be regarded as a nomadSe Jiao。At that timeThe Jiang family has 5 daughters, but the Qian family only has 1 son, I don't have a daughter, so I want to get from the Jiang familyAdoptiveOne. In such a case,3-year-old Jiang Ying lived with her wet nurse to Qian's house, and she became a nominal godbrother and sister with Qian Xuesen.
After succeeding to the Qian family, the Qian family also gave her a new nameQian Xueying, it sounds more like a brother and sister to Qian Xuesen, and loves her like a biological child. At that time, Qian Xuesen was seven or eight years older than Jiang Ying, and his personality was more introverted, so the two did not communicate much. After a long time, Jiang Ying felt very lonely and clamored to go back to her home.
During that time, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also woke up, and they were reluctant to let their daughter be alone in the Qian family, so they wanted to bring their daughter back. Although the Qian family is not angry, they still have a little bit of complaints. At that time, Qian Mu half-jokingly:"It's okay to get my daughter back, but you have to make a deal with me, and when Jiang Ying grows up, she will still be my goddaughter, and she will have to be my daughter-in-law in the future. ”
The two families understood that it was a joke, and Jiang's mother half-pushed and half-said: Okay, well, Jiang Ying will be your daughter-in-law in the future! ”
Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen didn't have much communication here, let alone any youthful sprouts, but in 1935, things took a turn for the better. This year,23-year-old Qian Xuesen is going to study in the Department of Aeronautics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, the Jiang family took Jiang Ying to visit him.
Jiang Ying knew that he was lonely in a foreign country, and on the night before leaving, he played a special Mozart sonata for him. Qian Xuesen was fascinated by what he heard, and he also liked this sister who loves to talk and laugh now. After a song, Jiang Ying also gave him a copy of Tang poemsLet him be a solace when he feels lonely in a foreign land, whileQian Xuesen put it as a precious gift in the box he was traveling with.
Although Qian Xuesen was introverted at that time, he was still very moved by Jiang Ying's actions. With the hopes of the two families, Qian Xuesen embarked on a study journey, and at the same time, Jiang Ying also went abroad to study soon after**.
In 1946, Jiang Yingxian returned from school, and it was not until the following year that he met Qian Xuesen, who had already become a professor in Massachusetts. However, 36-year-old Qian Xuesen has not yet had a girlfriend, his family is very anxious, Jiang Ying knows many people and friends, so they ask Jiang Ying to introduce his son to a partner.
As soon as she heard that she wanted to be a matchmaker, Jiang Ying immediately became interested and immediately called a friend, but Qian Xuesen was not very embarrassed to look at other girls. Jiang Ying wondered, why was she still so introverted after staying abroad for so long? Besides, doesn't he see himself as quite generous? As everyone knows, Qian Xuesen just wants to be good with Jiang Ying at this time, and he just doesn't want to look at that girl, not daring.
So Qian Xuesen ran to Jiang's house every day under the pretext of visiting Jiang's mother, and asked Jiang Ying to go to the United States with him. It didn't take a few days for Jiang Ying to understand what Qian Xuesen really meant, considering that the two families were world friends, and they lived under the same roof when they were children, and now Jiang Ying also admires Qian Xuesen for becoming a professor at a young age, so after returning to ChinaThe two have been meeting for less than a month, so they tied the knot in Shanghai.
After marriage, in order to support Qian Xuesen's scientific research work,Jiang Ying gave up her career in China and went to the United States with him. After arriving in the United States, Jiang Yinggan became a housewife at home. Although she is a housewife, Jiang Ying is not good at cooking, and every time she waits for her husband to come home after he is busy, he cooks.
Even so, Qian Xuesen did not have any complaints, because Jiang Ying had already taken care of all other aspects at home, and it was not easy. Not long after, the two gave birth to a boy and a girlThe world of two became a family of fourLife is very warm.
When Qian Xuesen felt that he had studied almost the same in the United States, he was ready to quit his job and go back to building the country. At that time, New China had just been establishedThe aerospace industry is still in its infancy and requires a lot of talent, so Qian Xuesen was even more anxious to return to China. But because the United States does not want to give up Qian Xuesen's talent, justQian Xuesen was detained on trumped-up charges for 5 years.
InWhile in custody, Qian Xuesen also completed a world-famous masterpiece in prisonEngineering Cybernetics, which also makes the United States even more reluctant to let Qian Xuesen leave. They understand that detaining Qian Xuesen all the time is really a waste of talents, so again"promised" Qian Xuesen that he would not use his technology to engage in military research, and even threatened him with his wife and children.
However, Qian Xuesen has seen through the hidden heart behind the United States, and he also knows that the United States has no reason to treat his wife and children badly, so when his wife came to visit, he told her to reassure her and that he would find a way to get out. In 1955, Qian Xuesen wrote a letter to his family, with a letter for help to the motherland.
On October 8, 1955, Qian Xuesen's family finally returned to their hometown with the efforts of the motherland. As soon as he returned to China, Qian Xuesen immediately devoted himself to the construction of the motherland. For the sake of confidentiality and security,Even Jiang Ying didn't know what her husband was doing, but she never asked, because she knew that it was ***
It is precisely because of the efforts of Qian Xuesen and other scientists that China has been able to master the research and development capabilities of nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles in a very short period of time. It can be said thatWithout Qian Xuesen's contribution, China would not have become a recognized military power in the world so quicklyNor is it possible to gain a permanent seat in the United Nations.
At the same time, Jiang Ying regained her dream of being a singer and cultivated many talents for my country.
Unfortunately, Qian Lao and Jiang Ying passed away in 2009 and 2012 respectively. And among the two sons and daughters they left behind, the sonQian YonggangHe was hired one after anotherAdjunct professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Tsinghua University and other universities, very low-key after retirement; DaughterQian Yongzhenis engaged inAspectsand later moved to the United States.
Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen have made outstanding contributions to our country in their respective fields, and although they have passed away for many years, their spirit of dedication to the country will always be remembered.
