Hua Luogeng
Many people in the world have loved each other all their lives, and most people can spend the last journey of their lives together.
There is a person who is different, he and his wife have been in love for fifty-eight years, but they quarrel all year round because of the trivialities of life, and finally choose to separate in order to be quiet.
What's even more regrettable is that people who have been in love and loved each other all their lives have become two people in the sky in just five years.
This brilliant genius scientist died suddenly in a foreign country for his career.
Who is this man, and what kind of story is behind him?
First, the bitter boy who picked the crown jewel of mathematics
This person who has persevered for love all his life and has lived apart for five years due to quarrels and died without overlapping is Hua Luogeng, a famous mathematician on the mainland.
Hua Luogeng is not only a famous mathematician in the mainland, but also a world-class mathematician, he has made brilliant achievements for the development of mathematics in China, effectively promoted the development of mathematics, trained a large number of mathematicians, and greatly promoted the prosperity and progress of society.
Hua Luogeng has such great achievements, many people will think that he must be a scholar with excellent character and learning, and he must be a high-caliber student who graduated from a famous university.
However, in fact, Hua Luogeng is not to say that he is a master, he has not even attended high school, and these achievements initially depended on his tireless self-study to become a master of mathematics.
A junior high school graduate won the crown jewel in the field of mathematics, which has to admire his natural talent.
What is even more surprising is that it is such an outstanding world-class mathematician Hua Luogeng. His married life in his later years was not happy, and he had to leave his wife and go to his beloved mathematical temple because he insisted on his ideals.
On November 12, 1910, in Jintan, Jiangsu, a great mathematician was born in the Hua Ruidong family. Hua's father is the owner of a small grocery store, which is small and struggling to make ends meet.
After Hua Luogeng went to primary school, he still played as greedy as he did when he was a child. During his studies at the county town of Renqu Primary School, he did not have outstanding grades in his homework, and even because his grades were not passable, he only got a study certificate.
After finishing primary school, he was sent by his father to Jintan County Middle School, a school that had just opened. After Hua Luogeng arrived in junior high school, he still retained the playfulness and naughtiness of primary school, and once failed the math exam. Later, when a writer named Liang Yusheng asked Hua Luogeng about the reason why he did not graduate from primary school, he replied with a smile: "I often skip school to watch social dramas!" The test paper was very sloppy, and the teacher might not be able to understand it, so he gave me a failing grade. ”
Although he failed mathematics, Li Yuebo, a discerning mathematics teacher, recognized the genius at a glance. He did not look the other way because the student failed. Instead, he was encouraged and actively guided around his strengths, stimulating his strong interest in mathematics. For Teacher Li's encouragement, Hua Luogeng always remembered that if it were not for Teacher Li, he would not have had the opportunity to become a great mathematician in the future.
In the second year of junior high school, under the encouragement of teacher Li Yuebo, he began to study hard and increased his efforts to learn mathematics. Soon, his talent was revealed, and his math scores made remarkable progress, beginning to show a rare talent.
In the third year of junior high school, the mathematics teacher was replaced by Mr. Wang Weike. Mr. Wang also discovered his mathematical talent in teaching, not only can he master the knowledge of books, but also delve into mathematical problems and think independently. The existing mathematical problems could no longer satisfy his thirst for knowledge, and he was eager to climb higher mathematical peaks.
Seeing this, Teacher Wang had to open a small stove for him and take more difficult and deeper topics for him.
Under the careful cultivation of Mr. Wang, he mastered the learning methods of mathematics and increased his research interest.
After graduating from junior high school in 1925, a high school in Nanjing was willing to admit him because of his excellent grades, but unfortunately his family was too poor to pay for schooling. In desperation, he could only enter a place called China Vocational School in Shanghai, because it was a business school, and the annual tuition fee of this school was free, and he only needed to pay 50 yuan a year for accommodation.
Hua Luogeng's parents thought the school was good, so they sent him to Shanghai to study. But not long after, Hua Luogeng returned to the golden altar. His father was frustrated in business that year, and there was no more money left for him to study, so he only read for a year.
Second, the "Luo nerd" who does not forget mathematics in a difficult situation
In 1927, as soon as Hua Luogeng returned to Jintan, he was arranged by his father to work in a grocery store. Although he was unhappy, he helped his father take care of the store, and when he was free, he actively studied mathematics.
The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is. He not only completed high school mathematics, but also learned college mathematics thoroughly. "Great Algebra", "Analytic Geometry" and other mathematical masterpieces, the complexity is like a heavenly book, but for him it is a treasure book that can never get tired of reading, the more you read it, the more exciting it is, and the more you read it, the more excited you are.
From 1929, he began to study the conclusions in books, began to verify some problems mathematically, and found that even well-known mathematicians inevitably had mistakes, so he pondered these problems and sought a way to solve them.
Although he was placed in a grocery store, he was responsible for selling goods. But his mind is always on the book, either reading the book or calculating the topic, and forgetting the business matter outside Cloud Nine. The villagers looked like he was immersed in books, and he didn't even care about business, he was a standard "nerd" who didn't know the world, and naughty people simply called him "Luo nerd".
And the calculating old father, although he was already frail and sick, he was already in his forties when he gave birth to Hua Luogeng. In order to make a living, he must compete for baht, otherwise this profit is not enough to support his family. And now the son is immersed in books all day, and he does not care about business matters at all, since he can't become a reader, then he can honestly do the store business, at least he can make a living. He was advised many times not to waste his time and energy on useless mathematics.
But the son is still the same, and he is always unwilling to put down his books to calm down and engage in business. Therefore, father and son often made unpleasant troubles about this, and on several occasions, the father would rob his book and burn it. But Hua Luogeng refused to give the book to his old father.
In the end, the old father really couldn't do anything, and simply ignored him. Later, when Hua Luogeng recalled this bitter past, he still had resentment. He said: "This should be my time to study, but because I can't go to school and can't study, I am busy every day for small profits, and I waste my good years in vain."
Reading is the most boring thing for those who love to play, but it is fun for those who like it.
In order to control him, his father hoped that he would be sensible and live a stable life by himself. He helped his son Zhang arrange a family affair, hoping that by starting a family, he could change his mind, return to real life, and assume the responsibilities of a man in charge.
In the autumn of 1927, Hua Luogeng ushered in the love of his life. Wu Xiaoyuan, a girl of the same age and with the same background as him, married him. Both of them had just turned eighteen at the time, and after a pinch of reconciliation between the parents of both sides, the marriage of their children was settled without their consent.
However, after the two got married, they were also very satisfied, and their feelings were cultivated, especially when Hua Luogeng was facing the danger of his life, his wife Wu Xiaoyuan relied on her strong love, and when the doctor gave up treatment, she still insisted on treating him, and finally succeeded in saving her husband's life, and since then, their relationship has been deeper and more harmonious.
Third, after the cold winter is spring
After the newly married, Hua Luogeng did not calm down and seriously run the grocery store according to his father's wishes, he still buried his head in the middle of books, wandering in the "vast ocean" of mathematics, and enjoyed it.
In 1929, the noble man in his life, Wang Weike, returned from studying in France and was hired as the principal of Jintan Middle School. When he saw Hua Luogeng's embarrassing situation, he issued an invitation to let him go to work at the school.
Hua Luogeng saw that there was work to do, and he was very happy in his heart. He not only taught, but also served as the school's director of affairs, accountant, and general clerk, completely solving the worries of life.
He also often writes manuscripts and sends them to magazines. Although he has been rejected repeatedly, it is rejected because a foreigner has already tackled the subject. He is glad that he has solved mathematical problems independently without the help of outsiders, and has proved that his research ability is no worse than that of a science-born expert.
The overcoming of the problem fully proved that his choice was completely feasible, and all his efforts were not in vain. All this strengthens the confidence to climb the peak of mathematics and arouses ambition.
Not long after, his daughter Huashun was born successfully, which was his happiest period, with a stable job and a secure life, and he devoted all his energy to the study of mathematics.
An unexpected plague changed the course of his life and almost killed him.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, he felt cold all over his body as soon as he returned home. As soon as the gentle and virtuous Wu Xiaoyuan touched his head, he knew that he had a high fever. She first found some medicine for him, but nothing worked.
In desperation, in order to cure the disease, Wu Xiaoyuan spent four oceans each time to specially help him invite a doctor from Suzhou to see a doctor. As a result, all the money that had just earned for a few days was handed over to the doctor.
This was not enough, Wu Xiaoyuan took all the valuable things in the family to pawn, and then treated him again.
Teacher Wang Weike saw that he was ill, so he often came to visit him. He tried his best to help Hua Luogeng, knowing that his family was in difficulty, and also used the convenience of the principal to settle his salary on time, and even covered his classes.
After a period of treatment, Hua Luogeng still shows no signs of improvement. In the end, the doctor could not do anything, and advised his family to prepare for the aftermath as soon as possible.
However, the stubborn Wu Xiaoyuan insisted on not compromising with the disease and resolutely insisted on helping him treat.
Under Wu Xiaoyuan's unremitting and meticulous care, Hua Luogeng finally improved. After more than half a year of treatment, Hua Luogeng finally recovered.
The excited wife saw that his health had improved, so she helped him up under Hua Luogeng's repeated requests. They want to get out of their hospital beds as soon as possible and get off the ground early so they can go to school to continue working.
Who knew that when Hua Luogeng's feet were just about to walk on the ground, his legs suddenly went soft and he immediately fell to the ground with a thud.
With a sharp pain, Hua Luogeng made a miserable sound, it turned out that his foot had been injured. The disease had caused his left leg joint to be deformed and bent. After that, he could only walk with a limp, laboriously raising his left leg in a picturesque circle with each step, and then raising his right leg to follow, in his own words, the movement of circles and tangents in mathematics.
Life was saved, but life was not settled, and Hua Luogeng returned to Jintan Middle School to ask Principal Wang Weike for help.
The headmaster agreed to the math genius's request. However, within a year, someone sued that Principal Wang was interested in favoritism and found a junior high school graduate to teach junior high school students. As a returnee, Dr. Wang Weike went to teach in middle school, and when he saw someone complaining, he left Jintan to teach at Hunan University in a fit of anger.
Fortunately, Hua Luogeng was lucky and met a good principal again. The principal, surnamed Han, agreed that he would continue to work at the school and still work as an accountant, but he could no longer teach.
After that, the suffering Hua Luogeng had more time to continue studying his beloved mathematics.
To prove it, he said, "Use your mind to make up for the lack of your legs." ”
Later, when talking about the reasons for choosing mathematics, he laughed and said, "because all it takes is a pen and paper."
At the age of 19, he finally proved his mathematical ability and published an article entitled "The Reasons Why the Quintile Equation of the Famous Su Jiaju's Algebra Cannot Be Established". The article brought him fame and established his place in the mathematical community.
Fourth, because of love and hate, I had to work hard and fly separately
Hua Luogeng and his wife Wu Xiaoyuan did not break up because of the breakdown of love, the reason for their real breakup was "deep love".
It turned out that Hua Luogeng became the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after resuming work, and he was eager to promote his scientific and technological achievements, so he ran around non-stop.
In August 1975, when he was busy promoting the "double method" in Daxing'anling, he was in Harbin and suffered a myocardial infarction due to accumulated work. This problem caused him to be in a coma for 6 weeks and was critically ill for a time. This Wu Xiaoyuan was distressed, and repeatedly advised him to forget it, he had already given what should be giving, and he had already eaten enough of the hardships he should have suffered. They were forced to be separated for more than ten years, and they finally got together, so they wanted to enjoy the family at home.
However, Hua Luogeng does not see it this way, as the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he must seize the time to make more contributions to the country, and cannot put aside the cause of mathematics because of the love of his children, moreover, the current era is a hundred ruins waiting for reconstruction, and talents like him are urgently needed to promote the modernization of the country.
But as a wife, knowing his physical condition, she firmly did not agree to him going out to work again. The two were very unhappy about this, and finally the children thought of a way to separate them.
Before leaving, Hua Luogeng said the last words to his wife:
"I don't want to die in my hospital bed at home, I want to die at work."
Since then, Hua Luogeng has completely separated from his wife who has been in love for 58 years under the arrangement of his children.
In November 1982, Hua Luogeng suffered from myocardial infarction for the second time.
On June 12, 1986, Hua Luogeng unfortunately collapsed under a pulpit in Tokyo, Japan due to his third myocardial infarction, fulfilling his life vow that "I will die at work".
Conclusion
Although Hua Luogeng is not highly educated, he has accumulated day by day and consistently through his hard work, through dedication and self-learning, persistently, insisting on studying mathematics, cold and summer, and finally achieved his life goal, climbed the peak of mathematics, became a winner in life, and won high praise from the world.
And her wife, who loved her husband from beginning to end, paid silently for her, helped her husband to honor her parents from the early days, and pulled up six children. Especially when Hua Luogeng's life was in danger several times, she desperately rescued him and saved a dying life with her love, reflecting the greatness of love. As a woman, she is more concerned about the life and health of her lover, and what she needs is the warmth of the family.
Both of them have dedicated their lives to their respective love, they are a respectable and convincing couple, although the ending is not perfect, but this is enough to shine!
Hua Luogeng is worthy of being a mathematician of the people!
