The combination of scientists and artists may sound very beautiful. But a habitual use of pure rational thinking to think and solve problems, with rational thinking to face feelings, face everything. Artists, on the other hand, are often fanatical, and they are accustomed to facing everything with emotional thinking. When pure reason and pure sensibility collide, it is a disaster.
But in the last century, there was such a combination of scientists and artists that the whole world envied. The two of them are Mr. Qian Xuesen and Ms. Jiang Ying. They are actually brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters who have been placed on the banquet. At that time, the parents of the two were family friends, and the Jiang family had five golden flowers, but the Qian family only had one son.
The Qian family's parents very much hoped to have a daughter, and begged the Jiang family if they could inherit a daughter to them. So Jiang Ying, who was the third golden flower of the Jiang family at that time, was thus passed over to the Qian family and has since been renamed "Qian Xueying". This year Jiang Ying was 8 years old, while Qian Xuesen was 13 years old. Two people two small no guess, green plum bamboo horse.
But after all, it was a piece of meat that fell from the body, and the Jiang family missed their daughter very much after the succession, so they still took Jiang Ying back. However, at this time, Qian Xuesen's mother had already cultivated feelings with Jiang Ying, and she was quite reluctant to do so, but in the end she still cared about her own mother's feelings and sent Jiang Ying back. However, she made an agreement with Jiang Ying's mother, that is, Jiang Ying must be her daughter-in-law, and she must also be her daughter-in-law. In this way, even if it is not now, Jiang Ying will still be a member of the Qian family when he grows up.
Later, the two went to school one after another, and both went abroad to study for a new type of education. But one was studying MIT at the cutting-edge technology of the time, aerospace, and one was studying music at the Berlin University of Music in Germany. They hadn't seen each other for nearly 12 years. But in 1947, they met again for only six weeks. But he quickly completed the marriage event.
Up to now, Ms. Jiang Ying recalled the flash marriage with Mr. Qian Xuesen at that time, and still showed the petite attitude of her little daughter, saying that when Qian Xuesen saw her, she said a sentence: "Let's go to the United States together, you should belong to me." So Jiang Ying seemed to be confused and went with him. She said: "He and I are the same at first sight".
After marriage, they began their married life in Boston, USA, and their life was relatively peaceful. Qian Xuesen was his professor in the United States, and Jiang Ying also studied his "harmony and phonology" at home from time to time, and was invited to sing in various places from time to time. But their lives were very peaceful, and they welcomed a son and a daughter.
However, the peaceful life was soon shattered. Three years after their marriage, in 1950, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying planned to return to China to serve the country, but the United States at that time was well aware of Qian Xuesen's talent, and their officials said: Wherever Qian Xuesen went, he was worth the strength of 5 divisions.
Since then, Qian Xuesen has been insulted like never before, and he has also lost his precious freedom. They were placed under house arrest by the U.S. government for five years, in such circumstances. They didn't dare to believe anyone in the outside world, so Jiang Ying completely gave up his singing career and became a housewife who could shoulder the family.
Finally, in 1955, under the mediation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying could embark on a journey back to China. After returning to China, Qian Xuesen directly threw himself into scientific research, and Jiang Ying had to give up his singing career again, leave the stage to take care of his family, and go to the Central Conservatory of Music to teach.
But Qian Xuesen also saw his wife's efforts in his eyes, and he said in public several times that he was very grateful to his wife. At the end of the preface to his book "Engineering Cybernetics", he also wrote "I would like to dedicate this book to Jiang Ying". When there was time, they immediately went home to accompany their wives, and the two of them went from black hair to whiteheads.
In 2009, Mr. Qian Xuesen passed away at the age of 98. And whenever Jiang Ying recalled Qian Xuesen, he sighed and said, "I pity him." All his life, he has worked hard for the country's aerospace cause, and he has not even had time to go home to take care of relatives and friends. However, in Jiang Ying's mouth, we know that he is also a person who loves food and loves to enjoy ordinary people, but he has never had time to enjoy it.
