"May I be like the stars and the moon, and the light of the night and the light be pure." I don't see the white head with the old man, only allow the king to share the heavens. ”
Qian Xuesen is a heavy man of the country, and his wife Jiang Ying is China's most outstanding female vocal educator and world-renowned soprano singer, and the two exude different light and heat in their respective fields, accompanying each other and supporting each other.
The love between Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying is like a star and a moon, dazzling and dazzling at the same time, but not losing its low-key ordinariness.
From green plum bamboo horses to xiangYimu, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying have been in the same boat for sixty-two years, and their love story is so enviable.
Green plum bamboo horse buried feelings
Like the background of most love stories, Qian and Jiang's two families are family friends, Qian Xuesen is Jiang Ying's eight-year-old brother, and the two families often communicate.
Once, Jiang's father and mother Jiang brought their five daughters to visit their old friends, Qian Xuesen's parents, Qian Junfu and his wife.
In addition to being extremely cordial to their old friends, Qian Junfu and his wife are even more pleased that the five young daughters of Jiang Baili and his wife are lively and clever, but they are so cute and loving that it is difficult for people to remove their eyes.
At that time, although Qian Xuesen was eight years older than Jiang Ying, he was still a child. He liked this sister named Jiang Ying very much, and among the five sisters, she smiled the best and spoke the best.
When the parents of the two families decided to leave Jiang Ying in their own home, he was not unhappy, but he was very enthusiastic to play with Jiang Ying.
Qian Xuesen likes to watch this little sister play the piano, every time Jiang Ying finishes playing the piano, he will always go around praising how powerful his sister is, and then Jiang Ying will always be amused by Qian Xuesen's behavior.
After Jiang's father and mother put Jiang Ying in the Qian family for a while, they really couldn't help but miss it, and went to the Qian family to discuss bringing their daughter back home.
When they left, Qian Junfu and his wife also joked that seeing Jiang Ying again in the future would be their daughter-in-law.
At that time, Qian Xuesen couldn't bear to leave his little sister who had just arrived not long ago, but he also didn't make a fool of himself with his parents, thinking that he would often meet in the future anyway, so he left.
At that time, Qian Xuesen was 13 years old and Jiang Ying was 5 years old.
When the pair of young plum bamboo horses met again, it was the day before Qian Xuesen studied abroad, and the 16-year-old Jiang Yingsheng's Qingxiu showed elegance between the conversations, probably because of the long-term study of music, Jiang Ying's temperament was too different, and Qian Xuesen's memory of the "little sister" was one more point.
Not only Jiang Ying was extremely talented, but Qian Xuesen at that time was also one of the best, and after graduating from the National Jiaotong University, he successfully obtained the quota of aviation students in the "Gengzi Compensation Scholarship", and only twenty people in the country could have the quota of aviation students.
After that, Qian Xuesen went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States to study aviation, while Jiang Ying also went to Berlin, Germany, to study music.
Both Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying left a small mark in each other's hearts, and that mark had a seed from the innocence of childhood, until Qian Xuesen went abroad, and the mark that remained in the hearts of the two took root again.
Before leaving, Qian Xuesen praised Jiang Ying's piano and singing, and after arriving in the United States, Qian Xuesen often missed the melodious piano sound and Jiang Ying's flexible singing voice.
In those days when they could not meet, Qian Xuesen immersed himself in research, and Jiang Ying devoted himself to art, signed a contract with a famous German record company, and published many excellent works.
Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying grew up together, and after many years of separation, they had feelings for each other, and their feelings were the best testimony of the lives of both sides.
The germination of love is always inadvertent, the intersection of the two stopped for a period of time after going abroad, but excellent people will attract each other, and people with a relationship will eventually see each other. When Jiang Ying later recalled her husband, she was slightly sad and also showed the preciousness of this feeling.
Went to the United States to live together
Balzac once said, "The more passionate and sincere love is, the more subtle it must be." "But Qian Xuesen's way of showing love is not at all subtle.
When Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying met again after returning from school, he was 35 years old, and Jiang Ying was also 27 years old at that time, and the lifelong events of the two gave the two parents a headache.
The Qian family and his wife broke their hearts over their son's marriage, but Qian Xuesen did not accept anyone's love, because he always lived in His heart.
At that time, Jiang Ying returned to China and held his own solo concert, and his musical talent was well known.
But 27-year-old Jiang Ying, who is still single, also let the family break their hearts, and her mother always said that she was "careful that no one wants it later" to joke with her, and she did not think so.
Jiang Ying felt that it was just that the person she had destined to do had not yet appeared, and she wanted to wait.
But Qian Xuesen can't wait, her mother found Jiang Ying, Qian's mother wants to let Qian Xuesen meet new people through Jiang Ying, to see if there is anything he likes.
Jiang Ying asked his former brother to come out and brought a few of his friends.
Qian Xuesen did not know this, he always thought that Jiang Ying had made a separate appointment with himself, and he was happy for a long time.
When he arrived at the location, he found that it was not right, he guessed that his mother asked Jiang Ying to introduce the object for himself, and that day he showed the mu ne of the science and engineering man at the dinner table, and he kept looking at Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying saw that no one was speaking, and in order to enliven the atmosphere, he began to speak first.
Several of Jiang Ying's friends also began to talk to Qian Xuesen, one of them liked him very much, hoping that she could develop with Qian Xuesen, she invited Qian Xuesen and herself to participate in the art exhibition, but she did not expect that Qian Xuesen actually refused, and did not hesitate to reject her.
After the meeting, Qian Xuesen sent Jiang Ying home, and after arriving at the door, Qian Xuesen did not leave for a long time, and Jiang Ying did not know, so he told him that he went back first.
At this time, Qian Xuesen was a little anxious, and opened his mouth and said to Jiang Ying: "You and I will go to the United States, all right!" ”
Jiang Ying was even more unclear, so he said to Qian Xuesen in a hurry that he had a boyfriend, but he did not expect that Qian Xuesen also followed him and said that he had a girlfriend.
In fact, at that time, both of them were single, they both knew it, Qian Xuesen said to Jiang Ying: "Friends and girlfriends are not counted, that boyfriend is not counted, my girlfriend is not counted, let's start making friends, get married!" ”
Jiang Ying later recalled Qian Xuesen's "domineering president-style marriage proposal" in an interview, and his face was full of happiness and joy.
She did not immediately promise him that if she followed Qian Xuesen, then everyone would think that they were married, so at first Jiang Ying meant exchanging letters and was not willing to go to the United States with Qian Xuesen.
But Qian Xuesen did not give up, and the polytechnic man's tendons and rectum were reflected at that time.
Jiang Ying said that he didn't know why, and after Qian Xuesen said to himself many times about getting married, he actually agreed to it.
Qian Xuesen used his not-so-subtle sincerity and enthusiasm to make Jiang Ying feel his admiration for her, and eventually the two went to the United States together.
Qian Junfu and his wife and The Jiang couple were very happy to learn of this time, and they did not expect that a joke of that year had become true now.
The two families are family friends and know the roots, so they have no objection to the couple's decision to go to the United States, but Jiang Ying's sister is worried, and she persuades her sister to consider it again.
It turned out that Jiang Ying's sister had heard some "rumors" about Qian Xuesen when she was studying abroad.
Jiang Ying's sister told Jiang Ying that Qian Xuesen was very careless, and that someone had introduced him to meet with a girl before, and as a result, Qian Xuesen actually lost the girl on the way home.
She advised her sister to consider remarrying, afraid that marrying Qian Xuesen would not get good care, after all, Jiang Ying was a bridesmaid and had not done housework herself.
Jiang Ying did not care about those, she felt that Qian Xuesen was not a careless person, especially in front of scientific research and in front of the country, his rigor and seriousness, professional responsibility were deeply attracted to herself.
Life after marriage is a good match
"Marriage is the graveyard of love", we always see this sentence on the Internet, but how can a marriage that both parties work hard to manage and feel together be a grave?
After the founding of New China, Qian Xuesen, who was far away in the United States, could not contain his heart and desperately wanted to return to his motherland and use what he had learned to contribute to the aerospace cause of New China, and his wife Jiang Ying was also very supportive of his idea.
Just as they were ready to return home, an accident occurred, and Qian Xuesen was stopped by U.S. officials at the port and then imprisoned.
A US official said: "Wherever Qian Xuesen goes, he is worth the strength of 5 divisions." ”
When Jiang Ying later recalled the ten days when Qian Xuesen was imprisoned, his words revealed his heartache and anger.
She said that when she went to visit her husband, Qian Xuesen could not speak because he had not eaten for several days, and Jiang Ying had to tell him that he and the children were fine, so he could rest assured.
After Qian Xuesen was imprisoned for more than ten days, after the efforts of the California Institute of Technology, Qian Xuesen was finally allowed to be released on bail, but then Qian Xuesen's family experienced up to five years in prison.
The reason given by the US authorities is that Qian Xuesen has been exposed to important scientific research missions in the United States, and there is a risk of leaking state secrets if he is released back to China.
No matter what conditions the Chinese side proposes, the United States is unwilling to release Qian Xuesen.
At that time, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying, with their two children, were imprisoned every day, and they needed to answer more than a dozen phone calls a day to confirm that they were still at home.
Jiang Ying gave up her artistic career for this, learned to cook at home, and took care of Qian Xuesen's living, she was distressed that Qian Xuesen was usually too busy, and he who liked food could not even eat delicious meals.
The former famous lady now learned housework for her husband, just wanting her husband to be more relaxed when he was in difficulty, and Jiang Ying, who has become a mother, also wants to make her children feel more secure.
Thinking that on the first day that Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying had just arrived in the United States, Qian Xuesen had just settled Jiang Ying, so he immediately went to the place of work to continue his scientific research, leaving Jiang Ying alone at home.
Jiang Ying not only did not leave herself alone at home because of Qian Xuesen, but she understood Qian Xuesen's busyness very well, on the contrary, she admired Qian Xuesen's seriousness and love for her career.
Jiang Ying seriously visited Qian Xuesen's house and thought that it was indeed a style that only middle-aged men engaged in scientific research could have.
When Qian Xuesen returned, Jiang Ying just met with him, he left a sentence of "see you back" and went into the study, Jiang Ying still did not lose her temper, she agreed with his attitude towards scientific research, just like her love for music.
Later, Qian Xuesen would always cook dishes for Jiang Ying to eat in his leisure time, Qian Xuesen liked food very much, and also enjoyed the chai rice oil and salt that he was busy stealing, Qian Xuesen knew that his wife was not very good at cooking, so he never asked her to be a good wife and mother.
Until later imprisoned by the United States, Jiang Ying washed and cooked at home every day, with children, they did not dare to ask for a nanny, every move in life has been monitored, they do not want to and dare not take the risk of inviting a nanny who may be bribed by the United States to come to the house.
Five years of house arrest were too hard, neither child had yet grown up, the younger one needed to be held in his arms and cared for, and the older one had just learned to climb.
It is in such a living environment that Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying warm up to each other and rely on each other.
Qian Xuesen liked Jiang Ying's appearance of playing the piano, and the music brought them infinite comfort.
In order to make life less hard, Qian Xuesen also bought a bamboo flute, he often took out that bamboo flute to play with Jiang Ying, and sometimes he would solo for Jiang Ying, he wanted to make Jiang Ying happy, only music can make them temporarily forget the suffering of life.
Qian Xuesen said many years later: "My life of 44 years of marriage is very happy, Jiang Ying is a soprano singer, she is far from my major, but she introduced me to the art of music, so that I have enriched my understanding of the world." ”
After many hardships and hardships, he finally waited for the opportunity to return to China, Qian Xuesen and his wife and children were finally able to return to the embrace of the motherland, and Qian Xuesen was finally able to make up for his inner apologies for his wife and children.
After being stopped by the United States, Qian Xuesen wanted Jiang Ying to take the children to go first, after all, the children were still too young, and he did not want Jiang Ying to stay with him to endure hardships, but Jiang Ying insisted on staying with him, giving him great encouragement during that difficult time.
In that difficult time, the love between Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying was best witnessed.
Accompany each other
"We used to go to music together and watch art exhibitions. Our spare time is always full of art. Somehow, I like it, and he likes it..."
Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying accompanied each other, experienced sixty-two years of chai rice oil and salt together, walked through sixty-two years of ups and downs together, and enjoyed the plainness of sixty-two years together.
Such a rare love makes people envious and at the same time makes people sigh, the hardship and joy of the world has always been the same people and themselves feel together, what a happiness!
