Yang Zhenning, who said at the age of 17 that love will affect his future, lost himself when he met Du Zhili, and changed his mouth to "must not believe in fate", how sweet can the love between the two scholars be?
On September 22, Mr. Yang Zhenning spent his 100th birthday, and Weng Fan was accompanied by him.
When it comes to Yang Zhenning, it is always impossible to avoid his wife Weng Fan, who is 54 years younger than him, and the world only knows their legendary marriage that can be called "grandfather and grandson love", but few people pay attention to Yang Zhenning's contribution to science and his equally famous ex-wife - Du Zhili.
Compared with the controversial love between young and old, the love of Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili is a beautiful love that is evenly matched and praised by the public.
Du Zhili is the real general, but also the most favored eldest daughter in the family, the father is the famous General Du Yuming, the mother is Cao Xiuqing, who coexists with appearance and beauty, the good genes of his parents, Du Zhili is also recognized as a beautiful girl in the school when he was studying.
Yang Zhenning is 5 years older than Du Zhili, born in Shuxiangmendi, with excellent grades from an early age, and was admitted to Southwest United University at the age of 14.
At the age of 17, Yang Zhenning, who had just opened his heart, had a good feeling for one of his father's female students, but he understood that if early love would affect his future, he still had to concentrate on study and work at this stage, so he consciously strangled the crush in the cradle.
It's just that this sanity and self-discipline have collapsed after meeting Du Zhili, and since then they have stepped into the sweetness of love.
In 1944, Yang Zhenning, who had just graduated from college, obtained the qualification to study in the United States, and his father introduced him to southwest university before going abroad, which could not only earn some living expenses, but also contact more contacts.
Sure enough, during his teaching at Southwest University, Yang Zhenning met many celebrity descendants, including Du Zhili, the daughter of Du Yuming.
In 1949, Du Yuming was captured, and Du Zhili was sent abroad to study, and she was only 22 years old.
In the same year, Hu Shi went to the United States, entrusted by Yang Zhenning's father, to bring a sentence to Yang Zhenning, who was studying for a doctorate at Princeton University: You are 27 years old, it is time to find a girlfriend.
Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili did not know that their fate had already begun.
On Christmas Eve of this year, Du Zhili went to a Chinese restaurant in Princeton alone to eat, where he met Yang Zhenning, a former math teacher.
He knew that the feelings of the two quickly warmed up, and Yang Zhenning described the reunion of the two as: you must not believe in the fate.
Yang Zhenning loved Du Zhili so much, why did he can't wait to marry Weng Fan home just one year after his wife died?
In 1950, the 23-year-old Du Zhili married 28-year-old Yang Zhenning, and at the best age they met the most beautiful love.
In the second year after marriage, the love crystal of the two was born, and Grandpa Yang Wuzhi named his grandson "Yang Guangnuo", hoping that he could win the Nobel Prize.
In order to let her husband work with peace of mind, Du Zhili gave up his career and returned to the family, Yang Zhenning can achieve those achievements, and his wife Du Zhili is indispensable in the credit book.
Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize at the age of 35, and Du Zhili accompanied him to the award ceremony to talk and laugh with the King of Sweden, which became another pride of Yang Zhenning in addition to the Nobel Prize.
With such a virtuous wife, Yang Zhenning often showed a happy smile, and these smiles disappeared after Du Zhili left, even if he married Weng Fan in the future, he could rarely see Yang Zhenning's heartfelt smile.
In 2003, Du Zhili was hospitalized due to illness, and Yang Zhenning's health was not good, but he could not rest assured that his wife insisted on accompanying him in the hospital.
Du Zhili's condition soon deteriorated, and he died not long after, leaving Yang Zhenning alone to mourn.
For a long time, Yang Zhenning could not get out of the pain of bereavement, until he met Weng Fan, and only then did he regain the motivation of life.
At a physics conference, Yang Zhenning, 74, met Weng Fan, 19.
Weng Fan's appearance was too similar to Du Zhili when he was young, and Yang Zhenning took the initiative to ask for Weng Fan's contact information.
In fact, this is not the first time they have met, as early as 1995, Weng Fan was selected by the school to receive Yang Zhenning and his wife, and the 3 people also left a century photo.
After Du Zhili's death, Weng Fan's appearance became the light to save Yang Zhenning.
At first, she and Yang Zhenning only wrote letters to exchange academics, and later developed into sharing feelings and lives, and they both moved their hearts to each other.
In October 2004, Yang Zhenning proposed to Weng Fan, and Weng Fan agreed without hesitation.
When they decided to spend their lives together, they thought of the storm of public opinion they were about to face.
The first attack of public opinion is, why did Yang Zhenning find a new joy when his wife's bones were not cold?
Then everyone wondered why the young Weng Fan would choose a man 54 years older than her to marry?
Is the marriage between the two really because of love?
28-year-old Weng Fan, married to 82-year-old Yang Zhenning without hesitation, is it really because of love? Weng Fan and Du Zhili are so similar, is Yang Zhenning really in love with Weng Fan, or has he found a stand-in for Du Zhili?
Originally a respected scientist, because a "love between old and young" was controversial and almost late, Yang Zhenning was once labeled as "wind flow".
In a wave of doubts, some people found that Weng Fan was very similar to Du Zhili when he was young, and could not help but guess that Yang Zhenning had found an original substitute?
For these speculations, Yang Zhenning replied like this: Weng Fan is the last gift god has given me.
And when Weng Fan was asked if he could distinguish between love and worship, he also answered without question: There is a man you admire, and when you express love or like to you, you can easily fall in love with him.
A few years ago, because Yang Zhenning gave all the inheritance to the child, only the right to use one house was given to Weng Fan, which caused netizens to question the marital status of the two.
In fact, the seemingly cold-blooded decision silently broke the rumor of "Weng Fan Tu Qian".
Now, more than 20 years later, Weng Fan has always accompanied Yang Zhenning, and most of the people who are not optimistic have also turned into blessings.
For whether to love Weng Fan in the end, Yang Zhenning's words can peep a hint, when he was young, he did not want Weng Fan to remarry, but when he was old, he hoped that she would remarry.
This is Yang Zhenning's love for Weng Fan, both unwilling and wanting to be perfect.
In the face of outside speculation that Weng Fan married Yang Zhenning, whether it is true love or another plan, Weng Fan has also given an explanation: enjoy the peace and stability of life, feel that he has been living in the ivory tower, like the current state, and thank Yang Zhenning for creating a pure world for himself.
Love and unlove, general mismatch, after all, is the speculation of outsiders about their marriage, and they enjoy it enough.
