Do you know who was the first actress in the world to appear in full red?
Do you know who invented WiFi?
Did you know they were the same person?
That's right, that person is Heidi Rama.
Born on November 9, 1914 in Vienna, Austria, she was named Heidewig. Her father was a banker and her mother was a pianist.
In that era, with such a family lineage, she thought she had a good life and received the best education. As the only daughter in the family and with a beautiful face, she should have a bright future and was extremely good.
However, she preferred art and learned to play the piano and dance ballet at the age of seven or eight. When attending a Swedish girls' school, she excelled in all subjects, especially mathematics. Later, she began to study the nascent communications profession.
She was at a wonderful age, but she was frequently praised by people around her for her beauty and moving, so she moved the idea of becoming an actress.
Coincidentally, she happened to meet the theater director Max Reinhardt, so she gave up the communications major and went to Berlin with the director to start an acting career.
With her talent and beauty, she soon had her film debut, Money on the Street, when she was only 16 years old.
In 1932, a film company approached her and asked her to play the heroine, but the only condition was that she had to appear naked. She had always been decisive, and she had no intention of retreating, and she accepted it at that time.
The following year, the film "Haunted" was released and became so famous that the 19-year-old suddenly became angry. Although she herself did not care, her parents were very worried about her future marriage.
Until the appearance of arms tycoon Fritz Mandel.
The two were considered to be the right door, and they got married after 3 months of acquaintance. However, when World War II was about to break out and Hitler was in power in Germany, Fritz sniffed out business opportunities and had frequent contact with Nazis.
Although Fritz was extremely disgusted with his wife for making movies and restricting her personal freedom, he often took her to Hitler's family dinners, and his wife's beauty won him the favor of Hitler and the Nazi Party.
Heidewig also had the opportunity to learn many secrets about Nazi wireless communications.
Later, Heidewig and Fritz took a different position, so they planned a successful escape and embarked on the "Normandy" cruise ship. It was on that cruise ship that she met Louis Meyer, the owner of the famous MGM films in the United States.
Heidewig once again signed a 7-year contract with Louis for his beauty and acting prowess. As long as she starred, the movie could be full, and she was praised by MGM as "the most beautiful woman in the world".
She is both knowledgeable and proficient in science and engineering, and usually at home alone will often engage in some small creations and small inventions.
When she met George, a star body consultant who also knew scientific research, the two hit it off and jointly developed the "frequency jump" device and applied for a patent.
That is, without this "frequency jump", there would be no CDMA technology, Bluetooth and WiFi. But no one paid attention to Heidi's drawings at the time, and the officials paid more attention to the beauty of this stunning beauty.
Later, a small, nameless company used this technology to develop CDMA and developed into a fortune 500 company.
When Heidi was 83, the Electronic Frontier Foundation called her to award her the Pioneer Medal of Honor for her invention, but at that time, she didn't care anymore.
In 2014, Heitilama was inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame. Although this honor came too late, the wealth she left behind for future generations benefited people around the world.
In the future, when you link to WiFi, you will think of: there was once such a beautiful and talented woman.
When I read the story of Heitilama in this book", "Life Has Been Saying Goodbye", I was immersed in it, sighing both regret and great gratitude and admiration.
The book also details the stories of many great people, such as Li Shutong, Gu Cheng, Mei Yanfang, Sanmao, Shakespeare, "The Little Prince" Antoine, Audrey Hepburn, etc., each of them is magnificent, talented, and radiant. But from the book, I see the ordeal and tenacity behind their brilliance.
