Behind every successful man is a great woman. - Proverb
Looking at most successful people now, they can pour their time and energy into their careers, which is the key to their success, and this is naturally inseparable from the woman behind them. It was the woman behind them that allowed them to move forward without scruples.
Although many people choose to betray their wives after success, it is undeniable that there are still many people who choose to live peacefully with their other half after success. Men who have money to become bad is actually an illusion, it is due to the media report a large number of men after the success of the cheating things, which led to the impression that in fact, in real life, most men are still very grateful for their wives.
In fact, not only a successful man, but also a woman standing behind him, which is the same for women. There was once such a woman, behind her, there were four successful men, so who is such a legendary woman?
Her name is Jiang Ying, her father is the famous military theorist Jiang Baili, and her husband is the famous scientist Qian Xuesen, her cousin is the great poet Xu Zhimo, and her cousin is Jin Yong, the peak author of martial arts novels.
First, love music, brave pursuit
In 1919, Jiang Ying was born in Haining, Zhejiang, and her father was the famous Jiang Baili, who was very accomplished in military theory and had very outstanding achievements in military theory.
Jiang Ying ranked third in her family, born in such an excellent family, it is not difficult to imagine that Jiang Ying will be influenced by her family's excellent cultural traditions from an early age. Under the influence of Jiang Ying's father, Jiang Ying developed a very strong interest in music from an early age, and thanks to the wealth of her family, when Jiang Ying was still in primary school in the fifth and sixth grades, her father bought her a piano.
Jiang Ying, who got the piano, was very happy, she had to practice the piano every day for a very long time, and it was precisely because of this piano that Jiang Ying embarked on the road of music.
When Jiang Ying was 16 years old, Jiang Ying's parents visited Europe at that time, it was 1935, the Second World War had not yet begun, all countries in the world were in a period of peaceful development, the deep artistic atmosphere in Europe and China deeply touched Jiang Ying, she did not even want to return to China, because the artistic atmosphere of Europe made her deeply feel a sense of belonging.
Jiang Baili also deeply knew that China at this time was not very friendly to talents, and she wanted to leave Jiang Ying in Germany. So the father and daughter hit it off, and Jiang Ying entered a german aristocratic school to study, which is an aristocratic school, and only a rich man like Jiang Baili can afford to pay.
Jiang Ying was the first international student from the East at this school, so it also aroused her competitive mentality, and young people can always adapt to the surrounding environment quickly, and so does Jiang Ying.
She is learning the knowledge and skills of music here, Jiang Ying is definitely a good student, under the guidance of famous teachers, she has naturally made great progress. The daily relationship with the Germans also made her become meticulous, the Seriousness of the Germans was well-known in Europe, and how could Jiang Ying not be affected by the daily hearing.
Two years later, Jiang Yingcai received an offer of acceptance from the Berlin Academy of Music, and her artistic achievements deeply impressed the experts here.
During his time at the Berlin Conservatory, Jiang Ying immersed himself in art every day, but soon after the outbreak of war, the situation was extremely difficult, and even a rich child like Jiang Ying could only eat two potatoes a day. In 1941, she successfully graduated from the conservatory, but her father, Jiang Baili, also died at this time.
Faced with the death of his father and the outbreak of war in Europe, how will Jiang Ying choose?
Jiang Ying did not choose to return to China, because she remembered her father's words to her, and if she liked music, she should strive to pursue it. Eventually she continued her studies in Europe, her efforts were not in vain, and she eventually gained international recognition for her music.
In 1943, Jiang Ying won the international soprano competition. After earning enough face and fame for the whole of Asia in European music, the war in Europe had stopped, and Jiang Ying wanted to return to his homeland. At the end of 1946, Jiang Ying finally returned to China.
Jiang Ying has made great achievements in her career, so what about her life?
At the peak of her career, Jiang Ying suddenly chose to marry and married her brother Qian Xuesen, a news that caused a sensation among Chinese intellectuals at the time.
Second, the marriage between Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen
There is actually a very wonderful fate between Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen, Qian Xuesen always laughs and says that Jiang Ying is her child daughter-in-law, so to speak because Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen's parents once had an agreement.
The Jiang family and the Qian family have been friends for generations, Jiang Baili gave birth to 5 daughters at that time, and Qian Xuesen had only one son in the family. Once Qian Xuesen's father proposed that he wanted to bring the third eldest of the Jiang family, that is, Jiang Ying, back to his home to raise him, and Jiang Baili at that time agreed to her such a request.
Jiang Ying was only 4 years old when she succeeded to the Qian family, and she was renamed Qian Xueying at that time, but Jiang Ying's age was too young and too young for her to adapt to a new environment, so she kept crying in the Qian family. And at that time, Qian Xuesen was already 12 years old, and there was no possibility for the two of them to get along like brothers and sisters. At this time, Jiang Baili also regretted giving up her daughter, so she proposed to the Qian family that she wanted to get her daughter back.
Qian Xuesen's mother finally chose to compromise in the face of such a situation, but she made another request, she was still reluctant to be such a lovely girl as Jiang Ying, and she wanted to wait until Jiang Ying grew up to marry Qian Xuesen as her daughter-in-law. This time, Jiang Baili happily agreed.
This is also the reason why Jiang Ying called Qian Xuesen's brother, originally because Jiang Ying was in Europe, and Qian Xuesen was developing in the United States, the communication between the two was broken for a long time. However, later Jiang Ying returned to China, and Qian Xuesen, who heard the news, immediately rushed back to China from the United States, and the two were in a moment of great spirit, coupled with the delicate connection between them, and finally the two of them came together.
After the two married, they came to the United States to develop, when Qian Xuesen had already achieved great academic success, and he was the youngest tenured professor at MIT. In order to be with Qian Xuesen, Jiang Ying also made some setbacks in his music career.
But what she didn't expect was that Qian Xuesen was so ignorant of style, she spent most of her time on academic research, was a thoroughly scientific and engineering man, and sometimes even simply left Jiang Ying aside, which made her feel a little unhappy.
Speaking of it, in fact, I can only blame Qian Xuesen for being too attentive, she almost spent all her thoughts on research, sometimes studying too late, and even forgetting that Jiang Ying was still waiting for her. In those days of waiting for Qian Xuesen, I don't know what Jiang Ying has in mind, it is certain that she did not regret marrying Qian Xuesen.
Jiang Ying also played the role of a perfect wife in Qian Xuesen's social activities, and her generosity attracted unanimous praise from everyone. Everyone thinks that it is really incredible that Qian Xuesen can marry such a wife.
In fact, Jiang Ying is not willing to do this for a lifetime, she also has a plan for herself, she wants to continue to engage in her own music career after giving birth to two babies for Qian Xuesen. However, the sky did not go according to people's wishes, and what happened after that made Jiang Ying not expect it.
After the founding of New China in 1949, Qian Xuesen was bent on returning to China and supporting the development of the motherland, and the things behind him were also very familiar to everyone, Qian Xuesen was detained by the United States for a very long time, and he was also monitored by the Americans.
In such a difficult time, Jiang Ying and the children have been with Qian Xuesen's side and have not abandoned, and returning to China has long ceased to be Qian Xuesen's personal idea, and Jiang Ying also hopes to take the children back to the motherland. Qian Xuesen, who was under the surveillance and torture of the Americans, did not give in, and eventually returned to China with Jiang Ying under the intervention of the Chinese government and the personal intervention of Premier Zhou.
Qian Xuesen, who returned to China, soon devoted himself to the cause of scientific research. At this time, Jiang Ying fulfilled her wish in China, she continued to engage in her music career in China, she gave up the stage and turned to the backstage, she cultivated many musical talents for China. When Jiang Ying died in 2012, her protégé and her close friends came to see her off, and Jiang Ying's life came to an end.
brief summary
Jiang Ying is indeed an obscure woman behind Qian Xuesen, who once had the opportunity to develop her career, but had to make a certain compromise for Qian Xuesen. Jiang Ying has contributed greatly to the development of China's music industry, her life is legendary, just to her father and her husband, she should not be buried, her name should be remembered.
