Everyone knows that Yang Zhenning is a famous physicist on the mainland.
His contributions to physics are comparable to those of Einstein
。 However, for his fame and achievements, at the age of 82, he married Weng Fan, who was fifty-four years old, and was more often mentioned by the world, except for some curious talk, there were many inaccessible voices of condemnation.
But Yang Zhenning is most proud of not his young and beautiful wife, nor only his lifelong physics research, but also his three excellent children. Although none of his three children chose to pursue a career in physics-related industries, the tiger father has no dogs.
All three brothers and sisters are very good, shining in their own fields.
Outstanding personal ability
Yang Zhenning was a student of Fermi when he was studying for a doctorate in the United States, and the two people who also loved physics had endless common topics together, and the two often discussed some academic issues together.
It brought him not only a wealth of knowledge, but also more ideas of his own.
After that, Yang Zhenning began to study based on what he had learned with the help of physicist Wu Jianxiong, and he had always invested 120,000 energy and enthusiasm on physics, and together with the joint research efforts of him and his companions, they achieved extraordinary achievements.
October 31, 1957, whether it is for Yang Zhenning or China, it is a memorable day, because he and Li Zhengdao put forward the theory of "cosmology is not conserved", and won the Nobel Prize in one fell swoop without being nominated.
At the same time, he became the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize
。
For Yang Zhenning, the American physics community has a high evaluation of him
, considered to be the third physics all-rounder after Einstein and Fermi,
His research is not only of great significance to the field of science, but also a great contribution to all mankind. But Yang Zhenning did not profit from it, but as always, devoted himself wholeheartedly to the physics research he loved and thought was meaningful.
Many people do not understand Yang Zhenning's achievements and contributions, and are quite critical of his relationship with Weng Fan and the restoration of Chinese nationality in his later years. However, such a situation is also really forced to be helpless, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mainland, whether it is hardware equipment or software resources, are far from foreign countries, Qian Xuesen also justified his name."
At that time, the domestic scientific research conditions were too backward, and only by staying abroad could we meet the needs of the country. ”
Happy family
Yang Zhenning's alma mater is Southwest Union University, where he studied in the Physics Department, and after graduation, he also worked at the school for a period of time, and it was also during his tenure that he met his first wife, Du Zhili. However, the relationship between the two at this time was only mutual understanding, and there was no further development.
Until 1947, When Du Zhili went to the United States to study, Yang Zhenning had been in the United States for many years. By chance, the two met unexpectedly, and his hometown was known to be one of the four great joys of life, and the two exchanged contact information and often traveled together in their leisure time.
In the repeated outings and exchanges, their feelings are also slowly heating up, in 1950, the two registered for marriage, together into the next stage of life,
For Yang Zhenyu's academic career, Du Zhili gave him full support
In order to make Yang Zhenning more attentive to the physics she loves, she handled the housework in an orderly manner and never let Yang Zhenning bother more about it.
Yang Zhenning was able to delve into physics without distraction, and his wife Du Zhili was indispensable. The husband and wife Qinse and Ming'en loved each other, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter successively, and Du Zhili herself was also very good, but she still put a lot of her energy into the family. At the Nobel Prize ceremony, she attended with Yang Zhenning and was called "
A great woman behind a successful man
”。
Pay attention to children's education
Yang Zhenning is busy with physics research, he can be soaked in the laboratory for a long time because of a small error and repeatedly checked, even after marrying Du Zhili, often out early and returning late. But even so,
He also attaches great importance to the education of his three children.
As long as there is free time, they will personally guide the children's homework, take the children to read, and cultivate their interests.
Although he is a well-deserved physics master, he never sticks to letting children read books on science and physics, on the contrary, he gives children more autonomy in this regard, and encourages children to know more about other aspects, no matter what field.
The emphasis is on guiding children to think
He deeply understands that a person's success requires enough hard work and hard work, so he is also strict in cultivating children's perseverance and perseverance, encouraging them to do something with a beginning and an end. In addition to this, he also taught the children to be patriotic,
Yang Zhenning's father often instilled patriotic ideas in him when he was a child, so when educating his children, Yang Zhenning did not forget this guidance.
If Yang Zhenning is an out-and-out science student and scientist, then Du Zhili is more like a polite and humble lady, under the influence and education of the family, Du Zhili is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the literati temperament on his body is also heavier.
The husband and wife perform their respective duties in the education of their children, Yang Zhenning is responsible for guiding the children to learn independently and helping the children in the natural sciences, while Du Zhili is more willing to cultivate their artistic cells and literary interests.
A good family environment and family education are the best enlightenment for three children, and they also play a vital role in shaping their personality.
Each has its own success
Yang Zhenning's eldest son is called Yang Guangnuo, and this name was taken by Yang Zhenning at his father when he was born, pinning on the ardent expectations of the elders in the family. Since he was a child, he likes challenges, dares to try complex and obscure things, and for some difficulties, he is not eager to consult his father, but will spend time thinking about it first.
Although he was the eldest son, Yang Guangnuo did not follow his father to the road of physics research, but showed great interest in computer science, and after graduating from high school, he also entered the University of Michigan with excellent results to study computer science.
Yang Guangnuo is now the leading quantum computer expert in the United States.
Although the second son, Yang Guangyu, is the second oldest, but his personality is very calm, not only will he help Du Zhili to share the housework, but also help the careless eldest brother to find some learning errors, and even take the initiative to take care of his sister after the birth of the little sister.
It's a big little adult
After entering the university, he chose to major in chemistry, and then successfully obtained a doctorate in chemistry and devoted himself to the field of chemistry. Perhaps with the word "宇" in his name, he developed a great interest in the universe, even if he was not a professional astronomer.
But during his years of enthusiasm for the universe, he discovered thousands of asteroids. At the same time, he did not give up his passion for chemistry, and still shines in his scientific research field.
After having two sons, Yang Zhenning and his wife very much hope that the third child is a girl, so Yang Youli's birth surprised the family, and she also followed the temperament of her mother Du Zhili, gentle and intellectual. Since she was a child, she has been the pearl in the palm of her family, and her two brothers have loved her even more.
Under the guidance of the mother,
Yang Youli
language
Very talented, proficient in many Chinese, like art, and knowledgeable,
Just when her family thought she would take the path of art, she became interested in medicine.
In order to help more people, coupled with her language advantage, she chose to become MSF, even though she is now retired, but still provides as much help as she can for THE MSF organization.
While all three children have taken different paths, there is no denying it
Everyone has done something in his field
Perhaps this is the proudest thing in Yang Zhenning's life.
