Preface
When talking about the idiom of "talented women and beautiful women", we have to mention Qian Xuesen, the father of Chinese missiles, and his wife, Jiang Ying. Qian Xuesen became a leading figure in China's scientific and technological circles with his outstanding achievements in physics and aerospace engineering, while Jiang Ying became a genius of a generation with her fairy-like appearance and outstanding musical talent. Their story is not only a perfect combination of science and art, but also a legendary love story. But we can't help but ask, what made this couple a model of their time, inspiring countless people to pursue the pinnacle of science and art?
On a quiet night in the winter of 1911, the silence was broken by the cry of a newborn and heralded the birth of a future great man. In the warm cradle, the baby's eyes filled with the light of wisdom seemed to foreshadow his extraordinary life ahead.
Born in a family with a deep cultural heritage, Qian Xuesen's ancestors were wealthy silk merchants, and there was a strong scholarly atmosphere in the family. His father, Qian Junfu, was an enlightened intellectual who had crossed the ocean to Japan for further study, while his mother, Zhang Lanjuan, came from a prominent family. Such a family background and cultural edification laid the groundwork for Qian Xuesen's future achievements.
Growing up in such an environment, Qian Xuesen's childhood seemed to be like a painting, full of the warmth of family and the light of knowledge. In the family group photo, everyone's face is filled with hope for the future, and these photos record their happiness.
In the alleys of Beijing, the young Qian Xuesen always wears a delicate coat, like a young aristocrat who has crossed the era. His eyes flashed with curiosity and longing for the world, and he always walked through the streets of the ancient capital with heavy books in his arms. His figure stands out in the scent of ink in books and the fresh smell of paper.
Sometimes he would sit quietly under the tree, reading intently, and at that moment he felt like he was in a beautiful picture. The knowledge contained in these books was the source of the fire that ignited his teenage dreams.
Qian Xuesen felt the passion and enthusiasm from the teacher's patriotic speech, and he was determined to contribute his own strength to the revitalization of the country and the nation. The surging emotions and expectations for the future in those speeches inspired the pride and ambition in his heart.
In this hazy era, Qian Xuesen's every step is preparing for his future glorious road. Not only did he inherit his family's wisdom and ambitions, but he also continued to absorb knowledge and inspiration as he grew up, gradually becoming a great scientist with a profound impact on the country. This process of growth is the starting point of Qian Xuesen's brilliant achievements in the future, and it is also the source of his lifelong love and dedication to science and the nation.
In the hopeful year of 1947, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying tied the knot and embarked on a new journey in life together. Their wedding photos still seem to exude a warm and nostalgic charm today. In the photo, Jiang Ying's hair was combed into a very popular Nezha head at that time, giving people a lively and agile feeling. This hairstyle is still full of fashion sense today, reflecting her unique charm and contemporary atmosphere.
The story of Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying began in their childhood, and this fate was due to the deep friendship between their father. Qian Xuesen's father, Qian Junfu, and Jiang Ying's father, Jiang Baili, are not only close friends, but also often visit each other, making the two families form a special bond.
Since the Qian family only had one son of Qian Xuesen, and the Jiang family had five daughters, at the request of Qian Junfu, Jiang Ying was sent to the Qian family when she was young and began her life as brothers and sisters with Qian Xuesen.
When I was a child, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying spent many pleasant times together. They play together, learn Xi together, and their friendship gradually deepens through daily interactions. Even if Qian Xuesen later went to the United States for further study, and Jiang Ying studied in Germany, the concern in their hearts did not disappear. Although they are in different countries and pursue their dreams, their presence in each other has always occupied an important place in their hearts.
Although their paths were temporarily divergent, the emotions in the hearts of Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying were not diluted because of this. They are in a foreign land, full of anticipation for the future, but also often miss the good times they spent together. This friendship, planted in their early years, became an integral part of their life's journey and paved the way for their later reunion.
Whenever I talk about those couples that seem to be specially arranged by God, the couple Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying always come to my mind first. Their group photo not only records the beautiful moments of their love, but also witnesses their common journey.
On that important day, Jiang Ying's every movement revealed her gentleness and intelligence, and Qian Xuesen perfectly set off her demeanor with his unique gentleness. Their eyes reveal a deep love for each other and a vision for the future.
Their wedding is not only a vow for two people, but also the beginning of their shared dream. Their love story, like a classic love movie, is full of romance and sweetness. Every moment they are together seems so harmonious and natural.
This good story between Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying is not only their personal happiness, but also a beautiful example for future generations to talk about love. Their stories have inspired countless people to pursue that great love and believe that everyone has the possibility to meet their destiny. The image of this couple is like a bright star, illuminating the true meaning of love.
Jiang Ying has played a key and unique role in Qian Xuesen's life and professional journey. She is not only his companion, but also his solid backing on the road of scientific research. As a scientist dedicated to the study of physics, Qian Xuesen often needs to be immersed and focused for a long time. Against this backdrop, Jiang Ying, with her understanding and support, created a harmonious and peaceful family atmosphere for him, so that he could devote himself to the complex scientific exploration.
The couple raised a pair of children together, and their family life exudes happiness and warmth. Their children grew up healthily in such an environment full of love and wisdom, and the family became the most valuable asset in Qian Xuesen's life.
Qian Xuesen often sighed: "All the honors and achievements I have won are inseparable from the support of my family, especially the selfless dedication of my wife Jiang Ying." His words were filled with deep gratitude and respect for his wife. Behind his brilliant career, it is Jiang Ying's indomitable support and silent dedication that has forged it.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Ying is also a knowledgeable mathematician, having studied for a doctorate in mathematics at the University of London. Her academic background and love of science allow her to better understand and support Qian Xuesen's work, and they are not only partners in life, but also in wisdom and spirituality. Their story not only shows the mutual support in marriage, but also shows the joint efforts and growth of the husband and wife on the road to pursue their scientific dreams. Jiang Ying's wisdom and strength have become an indispensable part of Qian Xuesen's scientific path, and the family they built together has become the warmest chapter in their success story.
On the autumn morning of October 31, 2009, Qian Xuesen, a giant of Chinese science, finally ended his extraordinary journey of 98 years. On this day, the whole of China was enveloped in a deep sadness, and countless people were shocked and saddened by the death of this great scientist.
On November 6, at the memorial service held at the Babaoshan Funeral Home, the sky was overcast, as if even the sky was saddened by the death of this great man. Tens of thousands of people flocked to the funeral home, their eyes filled with deep respect and reluctance, expressing their final farewell to the giant of science.
On that day, there was an endless stream of mourning people inside and outside the funeral home, countless flowers and words of mourning were quietly placed in front of his portrait, and every bouquet of flowers and every word was telling the memory and admiration of this great man. People who came from all over the world, regardless of age and background, all carried a heavy and loving heart to send Qian Xuesen their last journey.
At this solemn moment, the whole country seemed to enter a solemn silence. Qian Xuesen's death is not only the end of his personal life, but also the end of an era. He left behind not only his scientific achievements, but also his endless contributions and spiritual legacy to the country and the nation.
Qian Xuesen's life is a perfect interpretation of scientific exploration and dedication to the motherland. At his memorial service, the emotions surging in the hearts of countless people are not only the memory of a great man, but also the farewell of an era. His influence will forever remain in the hearts of those who were inspired and touched by him as an eternal memory.
