In 1954, Jiang Ying hugged her young son tightly on the streets of the United States and left a group photo.
In 1960, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen left a rare group photo when they visited the Summer Palace
This is a rare photo of Jiang Ying's life during his study in Europe in 1943. Jiang Ying in the photo is in the prime of her youth and has grown into a slim girl. Her hairstyle was also a common style of that era, but her appearance was enough to amaze everyone. Her smile is bright, like a spring sunshine, which is intoxicating. At this time, Jiang Ying had graduated from the Berlin Conservatory not long ago, and she chose to go to Switzerland for further study. During her time in Switzerland, Jiang Ying focused on her studies and musical studies, and her talent and hard work were widely recognized.
However, what many people don't know is that Jiang Ying's family background is very prominent. Her father is Jiang Baili, a famous military theorist in the Republic of China, and Xu Zhimo and Jin Yong are her cousins. In such a family background, Jiang Ying has always kept a low profile and never regarded herself as a celebrity in her own family. She earned respect with her hard work and talent, not by her family's fame.
This is a photo left by Jiang Ying when she held a concert at the Lyceum Theater in Shanghai in 1947, which was also her first performance after returning to China. In the photo, Jiang Ying is wearing a dark cheongsam, which perfectly shows off her figure and looks dignified and elegant. Her hairstyle was also the most fashionable at the time, neat and stylish, giving people a fresh and refined feeling. Jiang Ying has shown a unique interest in music since she was a child. Her father saw that his daughter had such a love for music and decided to send her to Europe to study. In Europe, Jiang Ying's musical talent has been fully developed, and her singing has won numerous praises on the European music stage.
In 1954, Jiang Ying hugged her young son tightly on the streets of the United States, leaving a rare group photo. Although she is in a foreign country in this photo, the firmness and expectation in her eyes make people feel the firmness and persistence in her heart. At that time, they were still living in the United States, thinking about their motherland all the time, looking forward to returning to China as soon as possible.
A few years later, Jiang Ying, her husband, and two children finally returned to their homeland. At that time, due to the need for secrecy, Jiang Ying, as Qian Xuesen's wife, could not often show up. So she only worked as an ordinary teacher at the Conservatory, and quietly cultivated musical talents for the motherland until she retired.
In 1960, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen left a rare group photo while visiting the Summer Palace, and if we look closely at this photo, we will find that the person behind them is Guo Yonghuai's wife Li Pei. What many people don't know is that Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen almost adopted Jiang Ying when they were young, and there is a warm and interesting history hidden behind this story. Because Jiang Ying was very cute when she was a child, the Qian family had no daughter, so the Qian family liked Jiang Ying very much. The Jiang family agreed to the Qian family's adoption request at that time, so Jiang Ying lived in the Qian family for a while.
At that time, Qian Xuesen was just an innocent and lively little boy, and he took great care of Jiang Ying's "sister". They spent many happy times together, and their feelings for each other gradually deepened in the process. However, the good times did not last long, and the Jiang family's parents later regretted it, and they decided to take Jiang Ying home. In this way, a possible brother-sister relationship came to an end.
But fate has a more wonderful arrangement. After Jiang Ying left the Qian family, the relationship between her and Qian Xuesen was not interrupted because of this. On the contrary, the relationship between them has become deeper. Over time, they grew up and eventually came together as husband and wife.
