Hawking, one of the world's greatest scientists today, is known as the "King of the Universe" for his great contributions to science and the study of the universe. Such a scientist not only has a huge contribution to the study of cosmic space, but also has an extraordinary understanding of the search and search of extraterrestrial organisms. However, Hawking, who was so great and recognized by the world, fate played a joke on him. At the age of 21, Hawking was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and sentenced by doctors to "only two years of life", after which Hawking stubbornly survived, but was forever confined to a wheelchair, and finally could not even move his mouth. Under such circumstances, what kind of touching love does this scientist with well-known scientific research achievements have? Hawking had three children at first, and with a total disability, how did Hawking "create" these three children?
Hawking
In 1942, on the day of the 300-year death of the famous scientist Galileo Galilei, who did the famous gravity experiment, in Oxford, England, a lovely boy fell to the ground, and this boy was Hawking. The parents in this family are typical high-achieving students, although they hope that their son will be like himself and achieve academic success, but hawking when he was a child, he did not "obsessed" with learning. Hawking is very fond of toys with complex structures, and he often takes them apart in the process of playing with them, and then carefully studies the structure inside. Over time, Hawking could even use the materials in his hand to assemble computers that were not popular at that time.

In this way, Hawking, who was quite creative in thinking, successfully entered Oxford University and became an "alumnus" of his father's youth. He himself had a keen interest in science, so he earned a first-class honorary degree in less time than any other student, and for the rest of his life he devoted himself to the study of cosmology. However, when Hawking was 21 years old, hawking was sentenced to "death" by fate.
At the age of 21, Hawking was walking on the road, clearly conscious, but suddenly fell to the ground. Unbeknownst to him, he went to the hospital for treatment, but was told that it was sunny and thunderous:
"You have a rare muscular dystrophy that can't be cured, and you only have two years left."
The thunderbolt on a sunny day caught Hawking off guard. He never expected that his life would face such a dilemma. However, the optimistic thinking he had developed since childhood told him that he could not just fall like this, and he would continue to engage in cosmic research.
Perhaps it is this belief that makes the disease quietly retreat. Two years later, the 23-year-old Hawking not only did not fall, but also continued to pursue a career in scientific research. This year, Hawking earned his PhD and stayed at Cambridge University to continue his favorite scientific research work. At this time, Hawking has ushered in a new turning point in life.
In 1963, Hawking attended a gathering of friends, and it was there that Hawking met his lifelong partner. Jane Wilde, a student at the University of London, had just turned nineteen that year, still with the fresh smile of a girl on her face and an elegant temperament. At the party, Jane Wilde is attracted by a funny and humorous conversation, and a handsome blond Hawking, and Hawking also notices this beautiful and confident girl. In this way, the 21-year-old teenager and the 19-year-old girl fell in love in the summer of 1963.
They looked up at the stars on the grass together, discussing the interesting things of the universe, and they also had dinner together, tasting the delicious and luxurious under the candlelight. When the two people fell in love, hawking's "frostbite" news suddenly came, which was not only a blow to Hawking, but also a blow to Jane Wilde. Hawking once wanted to give up the relationship because he didn't want to drag Jane Wilde down, nor did he want the girl he loved to see how sick he looked. At this time, however, Jane Wilde made an incredible decision:
"I'm going to marry you, Hawking. Nothing can stop my love for you. Let's get married. ”
This marriage, of course, will not have the consent of the two relatives, Jane Wilde's parents, are very worried about their daughter. But the firmness of the two overcame all gossip, and in the second year of love, the two held a wedding in their hometown. With the support of marriage and love and a lover, Hawking regained his confidence in life and ambition for scientific research. In the first few years of marriage, Hawking only had some numbness in his legs and feet, but relying on crutches, he could walk freely and would not affect his daily life. Seeing her husband in such a state, Jane Wilde was also deeply pleased, and she said to Hawking:
"Even if you are paralyzed, I will wash your clothes, feed you, wipe your body, clean up the housework, and you will always be the man I love the most." 」
Hawking was deeply moved, and at the same time, he also thought: the two people did not have children. If you have limited mobility in the next few years, it must be difficult to think about having a child at that time, and in Jane Wilde's life, there is also a need for the healing and companionship of children. Although Hawking was already suffering from illness, muscular dystrophy only affected the rest of the body's muscles, while the reproductive system was not affected for several years. Because of this, the two gave birth to their eldest son, Robert. Three years later, the two had another daughter, Lucy. By the 1970s, Hawking was paralyzed, but he could still live as a couple, and a few years later, his youngest son was born. How will this happiness of a happy family continue?
A family of five is a very happy family, but this happy atmosphere is very difficult in the deterioration of Hawking's condition. After the birth of his youngest son, Hawking began to speak slurredly, could not control the wheelchair freely, could not laugh and play with the child, and could only watch the child running on the grass from a distance. Because he could no longer take care of himself in his own life, Hawking often needed to rely on Jane Wilde's help when speaking, and when he ate, he also needed Jane Wilde to feed him spoon by spoon. Sometimes, Jane Wilde was really tired, because in addition to taking care of Hawking, she also needed to take care of all the housework in the family, so she asked her eldest son, who was only ten years old, to help her with the housework.
In this case, Jane Wilde often wept alone, overwhelmed, because he felt sorry for his eldest son and two young daughters and younger sons who helped. And what constantly invaded her was not only illness, but also endless loneliness. Because Hawking's scientific research career is very heavy, Hawking is often immersed in the world of science, and has no leisure to communicate with his wife and children. For this situation, Jane Wilde not only felt lonely herself, but also worried about Hawking. Many times, as long as Hawking says from Hawking's mouth, "I have solved this problem", for Jane Wilde, it is a supreme relief and comfort.
A young girl, she accompanied Hawking, walked through the difficult years of no name, walked through the lonely time of fighting against the disease, walked through the testimony of great love, and walked through the sweet and romantic youth. Jane Wilde gave without complaint, for Hawking, but also for the whole family. But how long can such a life last?
Under pressure and loneliness year after year, Jane Wilde suffered from depression. She began to feel really tired from the marriage. She still had no complaints, still no resentment toward Hawking and these people, and she was even very grateful for her life now, but she was tired. At this time, Hawking, in the international "World War I fame", his "A Brief History of Time" was released, this book, so that readers around the world, to recognize the mystery of the universe, but also to recognize the charm of Hawking as a scientist; and at home, Hawking and Jane Wilde are gradually drifting apart.
It was when Hawking fell ill with pneumonia that Jane Wilde's non-abandonment saved Hawking's life; it was Hawking's international fame that made his humble life look good again. However, the marriage that lasted for 25 years also came to an end. Jane Wilde takes the child and breaks up peacefully with Hawking, who also expresses understanding of her choice. After the divorce, the two did not stop interacting with each other from then on, but contacted each other from time to time and let the children visit Hawking at hawking's house. So, what kind of talents will the children who leave their fathers grow into?
Of Hawking's three children, the most famous is the second daughter, Lucy. Inheriting her father's high IQ and hard-working and optimistic attitude towards learning, Lucy also graduated from her father's alma mater, Oxford University. Lucy, who studied languages during college, stumbled upon herself to be talented in literature, and after graduating from college. He made a career out of writing and became a writer. One of Lucy's most famous works today is a book she worked with her father, George's Universe. Also known as the children's edition of A Brief History of Time, the book has been translated into more than thirty languages and has been widely praised around the world.
And Hawking's eldest son, Robert, the child who once shared the burden of the family for his mother, has become an engineer at Microsoft. Although Robert is not familiar with the world compared to his father, robert is also a rare talent in his field. He lived up to his father's expectations and became an expert in computing.
The youngest son, Timothy, the most handsome of the three children, is now a manager at LEGO. Regarding meetings with his father, Timothy often recalled gently:
"When I was a child, I used to play in my father's wheelchair and use it as a four-wheel drive, and my father would explain a lot of mechanical knowledge to me."
In 2018, Hawking passed away and went to the universe for which he had struggled all his life. "I have a lifelong pursuit of ideals, I have my loved relatives and friends who love me; yes, I also have a grateful heart." 」 Throughout his life, Hawking expounded to the world what is the ultimate theory of the universe, and at the same time the ultimate life, showing us what is love, what is a wonderful and brilliant life.
