In 2004, Yang Zhenning, an 82-year-old physics titan, married Weng Fan, 28, despite his children's opposition and worldly criticism.
This 54-year-old grandchild relationship is a big surprise.
Public opinion was in an uproar, all voices were questioning the combination of the two, and Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning fell into the target of public criticism.
Especially Weng Fan, she has become a woman who covets fame and fortune and loves vanity in the eyes of everyone.
Later, it was even more ironic that she "calculated everything, but was trapped by a long line."
After all, how can a great physicist who is on par with Einstein covet beauty and not care about fame?
Some people are keen to find traces of the unhappiness of the two people from one photo after another.
Add labels such as "marriage of benefits", "take what you need" and so on to the marriage of the two people.
As Yang Zhenning gets older, the voices against Weng Fan's "calculating legacy" are even more so.
How loud the doubts are, how calm Weng Fan is, and Weng Fan does not care about these doubts and accusations.
She said, "We don't have any pressure on ourselves, but there is a lot of noise outside."
Now, this "illogical" marriage has gone through 18 years together.
Is this marriage a platonic love, or a calculation of fame and profit?
Time goes back 18 years, traces the similar process of the two people, and then looks at the gains and losses of the two in 18 years, which is enough to see everything.
1, the half life of Yang Lao and Mrs. Du hand in hand
Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan first met in 1995.
At that time, Yang Zhenning was next to his wife Du Zhili, the daughter of the famous anti-Japanese general Du Yuming.
In 1944, Yang Zhenning, who received a master's degree from Southwest Union University, prepared to study in the United States at public expense.
In order to reduce the burden on his family, while waiting for a visa, he became a substitute teacher at the Affiliated High School of Southwest United University.
In this way, Du Zhili became one of Yang Zhenning's students.
The daily teaching and getting along made the two secretly feel affectionate, but at that time, the domestic turmoil, the ambition of the home country was more important than the love of the children.
Moreover, because the two were bound to the feudal etiquette, they could only put their liking in their hearts.
Therefore, before he had time to confess, Yang Zhenning went to the United States to study.
Du Zhili also chose to go to St. Vincent's College in the United Kingdom to continue his studies.
One Christmas, Yang Zhenning happened to meet Du Zhili unexpectedly at the only Chinese restaurant in Princeton, the "Tea Garden Restaurant".
The two who meet again are destined to continue their youthful fate.
In this way, in the blessing of family and friends on both sides, 28-year-old Yang Zhenning and 21-year-old Du Zhili du Zhili joined hands and entered the palace of marriage, which is 53 years.
It wasn't until Du Zhili left that Yang Zhenning let go of her hand.
After that, Weng Fan, who looked a little similar to Du Zhili, fell in love with Yang Zhenning again, and replaced Du Zhili to accompany Yang Zhenning for the rest of his life.
1. Maverick show
Weng Fan was born in Guangdong in 1979 and is a veritable showman.
The Weng family is superior, and Weng Fan is the youngest daughter in the family, who has been cared for and raised by her parents.
Weng's father is the head of the Teochew China Travel Agency, proficient in Chinese literature, fond of ancient poetry and music, and her good background makes her pay more attention to her daughter's education.
Under the cultivation of Weng's father, Weng Fan came out with a gentle and pleasant appearance, speaking softly and softly, and showing the appearance of a Chinese-style lady between his hands and feet.
In this context, Weng Fan was admitted to Shantou University to Chinese literature and began to contact the Western boom.
At this time, Weng Fan changed her "well-behaved and lovely" image, and she not only dyed yellow hair, but also dressed avant-garde, and once became a "storm figure" on campus.
But even if he was obedient, it did not affect Weng Fan's excellent studies.
In the eyes of teachers and classmates, Weng Fan is still the representative of the model students in the class, basically winning the first place every year.
At that time, Shantou University will hold the first Chinese Physics Conference.
Because of his excellent grades and good communication, Weng Fan was selected by the school to receive Yang Zhenning and his wife Du Zhili, who were invited.
This was the first encounter between Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning.
Judging from the photo of Weng Fan Yang Zhenning and his wife at that time, At that time, Weng Fan was still a student wearing a blue and white shirt, looking pure and lovely.
During the reception, because of the age of Yang Zhenning and his wife, Weng Fan is not only careful and thoughtful, but also arranges the itinerary according to their physical condition and habits.
This made Yang Zhenning and his wife leave a good impression on her.
So much so that he has been keeping correspondence with Weng Fan ever since.
Du Zhili even took her hand before leaving, saying that she should study hard and hoped that he could go to the United States for further study in the future.
2. Weng Fan's broken marriage is the failure of this life
After graduation, Weng Fan did not go to the United States, nor did he continue his studies, but entered the society.
After the introduction of the brother who graduated from the same school, Weng Fan entered a company as a translator after graduation.
Weng Fan, who has a good personality, is active and serious, and has an outstanding foreign language level, soon got into a hot fight with his colleagues.
Everyone had a high opinion of her, but Weng Fan unexpectedly chose to resign after only a month of work.
Not because of the salary, nor because there is no prospect.
But because of a man, in order to pursue love, Weng Fan resolutely went through the marriage formalities in Hong Kong with a small employee of this ordinary company.
Even in order to maintain the happiness of the marriage, Weng Fan did not hesitate to quit his job and become a full-time wife, taking care of her husband's diet and living.
After marriage, Weng Fan did not get the understanding and love of her husband, but more blame and indifference, many friends for Weng Fan is not worth it, but no one can stop her determination to pay for love.
It turns out that Weng Fan was indeed overwhelmed by love at that time, and this failed marriage lasted only two years before it was declared over.
3. The "deterioration" of companionship and care
The broken marriage sobered Weng Fan, so Weng Fan decided to go back to school.
In 2002, Weng Fan was admitted to the Department of Translation of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies as he wished.
In the second year of graduate school, Weng Fan learned the news of Du Zhili's death and sent an email to express his condolences.
The other half, Yang Zhenning, was devastated by the departure of his wife, and felt very kind when he received Weng Fan's letter.
Yang Zhenning was very eager to have a confidant, so the two resumed contact.
From caring for greetings to sharing each other's lives, the two have more and more tacit understanding in their interactions.
Weng Fan's intimate comfort made Yang Zhenning not be bothered by the things in life, and at the same time, it made up for the gap of Du Zhili's departure, which made Yang Zhenning's heart beat again because of his wife.
And Yang Zhenning's pain and guidance of Weng Fan's failure of marriage also made Weng Fan suddenly cheerful.
So slowly the contact between the two was changed from email to phone.
There is an age gap between the two, but it does not affect the fact that the two have endless conversations.
Weng Fan would tell Yang Zhenning about what he had seen in travel, and Yang Zhenning would complain about the boredom of his research.
One listening, one telling, Yang Zhenning felt that his life was full of youthful vitality.
As long as there is time, Yang Zhenning will call Weng Fan.
Weng Fan will also be sad and lost before he arrives at Yang Zhenning's phone, and the ridicule after his friend sees it makes Weng Fan even more ashamed.
Under such a close connection, the two have different feelings about each other.
One day in 2004, Yang Zhenning invited Weng Fan to meet at Sun Yat-sen University, thus opening the chapter of love.
With this relationship, the two also have a deeper understanding of each other.
Whether it is personality or family, the two are frank with each other, and after careful consideration, Yang Zhenning successfully proposed marriage by phone.
Weng Fan, who received the call, was not only happy, but more shy, and he accused" of "Who proposes to someone and does not send roses?" ”
Yang Zhenning quickly smiled and promised: "The next time we meet, we will definitely make up for you." ”
4. The second time for love
Weng Fan thus agreed to Yang Zhenning's marriage proposal.
Weng Fan, thinking that "he is not married", decided to tell his parents the news.
To tell the truth, Weng Fan was very worried about his parents' anger and doubts.
But in order not to leave Yang Zhenning, Weng Fan put down the disguise of "good girl" in front of his parents for the second time and made back the maverick Weng Fan.
She bravely told her parents about her feelings for Yang Zhenning.
His father was so angry that he slammed the sofa and made Weng Fan abandon this ridiculous decision.
The mother almost fainted, unable to believe that this was a good daughter she had cultivated for many years.
The two complained that Weng Fan was looking for a young man who was not good, but fell in love with an old man of his grandfather's generation and put them where they were, which was not filial piety.
In the face of his parents' bitter opposition, Weng Fan still said "unless he does not marry" to make Weng's father and mother beat their chests in anger.
After his parents calmed down a little, Weng Fan patiently told his parents the story of himself and Yang Zhenning.
After listening to his daughter's story, Weng Fan's father and mother were convinced that Weng Fan was moved this time.
In order to respect their daughter's choice, the two finally nodded.
Their education for Weng Fan from an early age is to pursue what they love and think, not to be limited to the world, not to care about the eyes of others.
After receiving the blessing of their families, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan also put the wedding on the agenda.
In December of the same year, the two walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau hand in hand.
Yang Zhenning is 82 years old and Weng Fan is 28 years old.
5. Hand in hand under the sound of doubt
Despite the low profile, the news of the combination of the two is known to the public.
There are no blessings, only full of doubts and insults.
As a top physicist, Yang Zhenning has made outstanding contributions to the upgrading of science, education and talents in the motherland, and finally has to be scolded by netizens.
First of all, he returned to the motherland in his later years and was discredited by some people for no reason, and now he married Weng Fan, who is 54 years younger than himself, and has attracted a lot of infamy.
In the eyes of the secular people, this is just a transaction, and it is the need for "the old man is greedy for beauty, and the young wife is pursuing fame and fortune".
This great physicist was questioned by everyone just because he pursued his career and love.
Weng Fan suffered more harm in this public opinion, and everyone accused her of impure motives, and marrying Yang Zhenning was only for Yang Zhenning's money and fame.
Before Deng Wendi climbed to the peak of wealth by marriage, everyone said that Deng Wendi had vision and means.
Later, Weng Fan married Yang Zhenning, who was older than his father, and was said to be a snob with bad intentions and greed for fame and profit.
This may be because the former Deng Wendi married a businessman, and deng Wendi himself is strong enough, mixed up in the circle of celebrities, and the scolding cannot cover up Deng Wendi's light.
Although Weng Fan has a talented name, it is not nothing in everyone's view, not to mention that compared with Du Zhili, Weng Fan cannot be compared with others except for his age.
But despite this, she still did not bow to the world, did not question her choice because of insults, and her pursuit was nothing more than grasping what she wanted.
In a public interview, Weng Fan said that it is difficult for her to refuse the idol she has always admired and worshipped, so she herself is willing to embark on this sparsely populated road.
6. Accompanied and cared for, Weng Fan did a good job
Obviously, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan did not pay attention to all kinds of criticism, but just lived a small life calmly.
Now that 18 years have passed, Weng Fan has not asked for or obtained any fame and profit from Yang Zhenning.
Yang Zhenning's money was basically donated to the motherland, making contributions to the education and development of the motherland.
As early as the United States, Yang Zhenning has been donating to domestic students.
After deciding to return to China to settle down, he sold his American mansion and donated all the money to the Institute for Advanced Study of Tsinghua University, which he co-founded.
Including Tsinghua University to Yang Lao's annual salary of 1 million yuan per year, he also did not want a share, fully invested in the research of the research institute.
Of course, the savings of the two were also donated to Tsinghua by the two.
In 21 years, Yang Zhenning also appeared on the stage as one of the top ten figures who moved China.
When thanking him, Yang Zhenning thanked his wife Weng Fan for the first time.
Because of Weng Fan's dedicated care and companionship over the years, Yang Zhenning can still feel the beauty of life while pursuing academics, and he can continue to exert his own value.
Recently, some netizens photographed 99-year-old Yang Zhenning with his wife Weng Fan appearing in the exhibition.
The two were very affectionate with each other.ten fingers.
In the video, Yang Lao's body bones are still hard, and the hand pillar does not need anyone, which shows that Yang Lao is now in a very good physical state.
From his face full of kind smiles, it can also be seen that Elder Yang's mental state is also very good, and it is obvious that these are inseparable from the credit of Weng Fan.
Seeing today's old Mr. Yang Zhenning, the netizens who used to satirize this yearless love realized how stupid their former prejudices were.
In this way, everyone gradually began to see clearly what the essence of this relationship was.
In the marriage of Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan for more than ten years, Weng Fan has changed from a girl who was once young to the "crutch" and "nanny" of Yang Lao, like a new person.
Under her dedicated care, Yang Lao glowed with the brilliance of life.
Nearly 100-year-old Yang Zhenning has not changed, still insists on giving lessons to students, and his whole life has been contributing to the scholarship of the motherland.
So what is wrong with such a great man pursuing his love?
What is wrong with Weng Fan, as an admirer and lover of Yang Lao, abandoning the world and being willing to be the woman behind Yang Zhenning?
Yang Zhenning's children also said: Grateful to Weng Fan, she is a good girl, without her selfless efforts, there would be no Yang Zhenning's happy life today.
The wrong thing is the world, because of envying such pure love, instead of venting his dissatisfaction with slander.
This platonic love deserves to be celebrated and passed on.
