The sympathy between celebrities seems to be a good story in the eyes of the outside world, Mo Yan, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012, met Yang Zhenning, at that time, the two old people only had one side at the meeting, but did not want to notice the two again, the two have become old friends for many years.
One is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, the other is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the friendship between the two seems to us to be the intersection of literature and science. Two seemingly parallel straight lines actually intersected one day, and this friendship was deeply concerned.
Two oil poems
Professor Yang Zhenning once took a reporter to visit his study, and when the reporter entered the study, he saw two eye-catching oil poems on the wall. From the perspective of calligraphy, these two oil poems do not have any reference significance, but when you see the drop and the right topic, these two oil poems have different values.
The two poems on the wall are only 12 words, but the feeling presented is quite majestic. Speaking of these two oil poems, Yang Zhenning introduced the history to reporters, which was given to him by Mo Yan, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, after the first meeting.
Yang Zhenning put these two oil poems in his study, and more than ten years have passed since then. "Looking up at the size of the universe and looking down at the microcosm of particles", 12 simple words but really have a subtle feeling. These 12 words are closely related to Yang Zhenning's scientific research life, which can be said to be a perfect portrayal of him.
From a literary point of view, these 12 words are also very interesting, looking up at the top of the look, the host said to Yang Zhenning after reading these two poems
"This is a summary of your scientific career".
This sentence also won the approval of Yang Zhenning.
With a common award-winning experience and criticism from others at the same time, the sympathy between Mo Yan and Yang Zhenning is a fate that has long been predestined. Mo Yan's feelings for Yang Zhenning can be seen from the two oil poems he mentioned, which is not Mo Yan's first inscription.
When Mo Yan wrote poems for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, his creative level was questioned by everyone. The short sentence "A bridge flies east and west, and the three places are connected into one" is quite interesting at first glance, but with the more attention of netizens, many people have questioned Mo Yan.
The endless clamor and competition did not hide their doubts about Mo Yan's literary level, which was not something that netizens had created out of nothing, and the oil poems listed by everyone really made people feel better. For such doubts, Mo Yan had long been accustomed to it, had not stated that there was no need to defend, and went with the public.
The friendship between the two
At that time, the exchange meeting seemed to the outside world to be a collision of science and literature, but from a certain point of view, that exchange meeting was just Mo Yan complaining, and Yang Zhenning was comforting. Since Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, he has been controversial.
Mo Yan said bluntly that if he could win the Nobel Prize in Physics, he could prove himself with data and experiments, but literary works are completely different. Literature is inherently a matter of opinion, and everyone's views are different, which makes him deeply involved in the storm of public opinion.
Literary creation is originally inspired by a closed inner environment, and the work itself will be recognized by the outside world by two different voices. This is a very normal phenomenon in the literary world, but it does put a lot of mental pressure on the winners.
Some people like it very much, and some people naturally dislike it very much. Only one winner is attacked from beginning to end, especially awards with international significance and national background controversy such as the Nobel Prize in Literature, which are more likely to cause mental stress. Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature and spent more than a decade in such a stressful life.
His friendship with Yang Zhenning is a very unlikely winning experience, and in these two oil poems, Mo Yan not only portrays Yang Zhenning's academic experience, but also mixes his gratitude to his friends.
The complexity of the feelings mixed in the two poems is much higher than Mo Yan's feelings for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and Mo Yan's literary skills do not need to be questioned, but there is still a difference in the feelings used in literary expression. Yang Zhenning can also have a feeling of pity for Mo Yan, and the gossip mentality of the outside world is also a problem that has been troubled for him for a long time.
I am not a saint
As a physicist comparable to Newton and other greats, Yang Zhenning's achievements in physics are enough for him to stand at the top of the world and overlook everyone. What pulled him off the altar was not his academic research, but his emotional life, and the public opinion disputes caused by the gossip of the outside world were unexpected.
Because of marrying a wife with a large age difference, Yang Zhenning is deeply involved in various negative evaluations, which is a sad reality, people forget to pay attention to his contribution to physics, only because of his emotional life and began to point out, Yang Zhenning and Mo Yan have a feeling of being a fallen person in the end of the world. The world has put them on a high position just because of the awards they have won, but they have never considered that they are just ordinary people who throw away their aura.
As a nobel laureate in literature, it is very difficult for Mo Yan to gain spiritual resonance in the domestic literary circle, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, right and wrong in the literary world, not as simple and transparent as we think, being in a high position is to feel the loneliness of a high position, but this is not necessarily the desolation that Mo Yan wants.
Yang Zhenning has long confirmed his achievements in the physics world, but because some of his private life has attracted attention from the outside world, he has been involved in it. Perhaps when his physical achievements were not so noticed by outsiders, he had already wanted to spend the rest of his life away from the fireworks of the world and his wife quietly, but now he could not be at peace.
Sometimes fame and fortune do not necessarily bring people a positive effect, but after achieving a certain achievement, it becomes a burden. Those who acquire them are forced to lose some of the rights that ordinary people can only have. The heights are cold, the successful places are rarely set footed, and the sympathy of the two people seems precious at this moment.
Fortunately, they met each other, so in the torrent of the times, there is another person who knows and knows himself. This kind of happiness can be compared to the boy and the child, and the world is thousands of people, and only you and me are connected.
