She is a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, a Chinese female vocal educator and soprano singer; she is the cousin of the martial arts novel master Jin Yong and the cousin of the poet Xu Zhimo; she is also the wife of Mr. Qian Xuesen, an aerodynamic systems scientist in China and one of the founders of engineering cybernetics, and she is Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying has a stunning and beautiful appearance, but also a musician whose soul is as beautiful as her appearance, she not only turned her own life into a legend, but also had many influences on Qian Xuesen's scientific research career, and used her unswerving companionship to light up Qian Xuesen's direction in the dark.
Jiang Ying was originally Qian Xuesen's "sister" and "dry sister"
Jiang Ying was born in 1919, 8 years younger than Qian Xuesen, his father Jiang Baili was a famous military scientist at that time, when he was young, he and Qian Xuesen's father Qian Junfu met, the two have always had a good relationship, so after studying in Japan and returning to China, the two even if they started a family, they still maintain close contacts, can be regarded as very good friends.
After the two married and had children separately, the two families found a problem, Qian Junfu and his wife, who have always wanted a daughter, only gave birth to an only son, Qian Xuesen, while Jiang Baili and his wife gave birth to 5 daughters, Jiang Ying ranked third, after Jiang Ying was born, Qian Junfu and his wife went to Jiang Baili's home as a guest, saw Jiang Ying's beauty and moving, and proposed to raise Jiang Ying to them.
After all, the relationship between the two families is very good, so at that time, Jiang Baili and his wife also agreed to give Jiang Ying to Qian Junfu and his wife, just like that, Jiang Ying, who was only three years old at the time, became Qian Xuesen's "sister" and was named Qian Xueying, and from then on, there was more contact between Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen, and Qian Xuesen was 11 years old at that time, and he also took good care of this "sister".
If this situation continues, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen are unlikely to marry, but things have changed a little later. After Jiang Ying gave Qian Junfu and them, Jiang Baili and his wife would often visit their daughter at Qian's house, so the gatherings of the two families were very frequent.
With the fact that Jiang Baili and his wife later gave birth to two daughters, when the family was lively together, Jiang Baili's wife would always miss her daughter Jiang Ying, and driven by the power of this longing, in the end, Jiang Baili's wife still found Qian Junfu's wife and asked Jiang Ying to go home.
After all, everyone is a parent, and this feeling of missing children is completely understandable, so Qian Junfu also agreed to let Jiang Ying continue to return to Jiang Baili's home, but on the occasion of leaving, Qian Junfu's wife said a word to Jiang Baili's wife: "After Xiao San leaves us now, she is my dry daughter, and when she grows up, she will be my daughter-in-law."
Jiang Baili's wife was bent on taking the child home, for qian Jun's husband and wife's words, although she agreed, but did not think so, of course, from then on, Jiang Ying did become the dry daughter of Qian Junfu and his wife, and also became Qian Xuesen's "dry sister", as to whether she will become Qian Xuesen's wife when she grows up, in fact, no one knows.
We haven't seen each other in years
In 1935, when Qian Xuesen was about to go to the United States for further study, 16-year-old Jiang Ying went with his parents to Qian Junfu's home to bid farewell to Qian Xuesen, at this party, Jiang Ying played a Mozart D major for Qian Xuesen, Qian Xuesen listened to it like crazy, on the occasion of parting, Jiang Ying gave Qian Xuesen a book of Tang poems, Qian Xuesen put it in his rattan suitcase, and brought it to the United States, in fact, Qian Xuesen already had love for Jiang Ying at that time.
Unfortunately, the years are always merciless, in the second year of Qian Xuesen's study in the United States, Jiang Ying followed his father to europe and the United States to investigate the military, and was arranged by his father to study in Berlin, Germany, since then, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen have lost contact, and when they meet again, it is ten years later.
On the occasion of goodbye, Qian Xuesen is 36 years old, Jiang Ying is also a mature woman of 28 years old, when she returned to China, she held a personal concert at the Lyceum Theater in Shanghai, after the concert, Jiang Ying met Qian Xuesen, who also returned from school, and did not see him for many years.
Qian Xuesen's mother saw that her son was not yet married in his thirties, so she said to Jiang Ying's mother: "Does Xiao San have a boyfriend?" Jiang Ying's mother immediately replied: "More to go", although the mouth said so, but the fact that Jiang Ying was single, it could not be hidden.
After learning the truth, Qian Xuesen's mother and father began to work hard to match the two together, Qian Xuesen was originally interested in Jiang Ying, so he often went to Jiang Ying's home in Hangzhou to visit Jiang Ying, and sometimes deliberately found a reason to ask Jiang Ying to introduce his girlfriend, but after Jiang Ying really introduced the girl to him, Qian Xuesen ignored the love of others, but instead kept staring at Jiang Ying, and at that time Jiang Ying understood that something was wrong.
Later, as the two became more acquainted, Qian Xuesen directly said to Jiang Ying: "Come with me to the United States", Jiang Ying asked Qian Xuesen: "Why do you want to go to the United States with you, let's first understand each other", in the face of Jiang Ying's answer, Qian Xuesen did not say anything, repeatedly just a sentence "No, go now", at Qian Xuesen's insistence, without saying a few words, Jiang Ying "surrendered".
When Jiang Ying later recalled, he also said about Qian Xuesen's special way of confessing at that time, Jiang Ying said that Qian Xuesen was only 36 years old at the time, he was already a full professor, she was very impressed with Qian Xuesen, and thought that no one with knowledge would be a bad person, plus the two were considered to be green plum bamboo horses, so they quickly agreed to Qian Xuesen, and after marrying him, they went to the United States together.
Qian Xuesen has always accompanied Qian Xuesen in difficult times
In 1950, at the beginning of the founding of New China, Qian Xuesen planned to return to China to dedicate himself to the construction of the country, but because qian Xuesen's knowledge was profound, the United States did not want to let him return to China, so it deliberately stopped him and put him in prison, this time Qian Xuesen was imprisoned for 14 days, and finally the California Institute of Technology sent a bail of 15,000 US dollars to release him on bail.
Although Qian Xuesen was released on bail, but the United States has always monitored his every move, resolutely do not let Qian Xuesen return to China, since 1950, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying lived a gray life, in those difficult years, has been Jiang Ying's music accompanied Qian Xuesen, when Qian Xuesen felt confused, or Jiang Ying's music let him find the direction, in the later Qian Xuesen recalled, but also always said thank you Jiang Ying in his most difficult years to accompany himself, I am even more grateful to Jiang Ying for using music to point out the direction for herself, and at the same time to broaden her thinking, let herself think about problems and avoid the formation of mechanical thinking.
In 1955, after Zhou Enlai and the US Foreign Ministry continued to negotiate, finally reached an agreement to allow Qian Xuesen to return to China, on September 17, Qian Xuesen took his wife and a pair of young daughters to board the ship home, and on October 8, Qian Xuesen's family finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
The next thing we all know, under the leadership of Qian Xuesen, the scientific cause of new China continues to develop, Qian Xuesen has become a well-known scientist in Chinese, but when Qian Xuesen summarizes his successful experience, he will always mention the influence of Jiang Ying and Jiang Ying's music on himself, as he said, in his own difficult years, Jiang Ying gave him emotional sustenance, and Jiang Ying's music allowed Qian Xuesen to find another realm of life, which is the comprehensive impact of all this. Only then can Qian Xuesen become such a great person.
epilogue
Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen's life experience and husband and wife feelings, to our descendants to explain what is the real love and marriage, two people walk together, will not be because of the industry or research field in different and contradictory, but each other to find each other's excellent places, and from it to understand more, so that both sides become more excellent, presumably this is the best appearance of love and marriage!
