On January 5, 2023, a piece of content about Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary attracted people's attention online.
It turned out that a netizen took a photo of the scene when he was invited to participate in the celebration, with the text "Congratulations to Mr. Yang Zhenning and Ms. Weng Fan's 20th anniversary golden wedding, pay tribute to your great love!"
At first glance, this passage feels like there is no problem, but if you think about it carefully: Doesn't the "golden wedding" refer to the 50th anniversary of marriage? But in fact, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan have only been married for 20 years, and if they really follow the so-called "anniversary theory", these two people can be regarded as a "porcelain wedding" at most.
However, in fact, I can understand this netizen's thoughts, Yang Zhenning is 101 years old this year, and at this time, if you send a photo of a husband and wife to write "Happy Porcelain Wedding", how do you look like yin and yang.
From the picture of the netizen, we can see that although Yang Zhenning, who is standing in front of the calligraphy table, is over 100 years old, he is still very energetic, his calligraphy is strong and powerful, and it seems that there should be no problem with his body.
As for Yang Zhenning's wife Weng Fan, she also looked gentle and quiet at the scene, and she showed the style of an intellectual woman in the process of talking to Yang Zhenning.
It is understood that even though he has been married for 19 years, at this event, the hundred-year-old Yang Zhenning still called Weng Fan "Darling" Chinese meaning "dear", and like young people, they will hold hands, kiss, and wear couple clothes, and the sweet and warm feelings between husband and wife touched many people at the scene.
Looking at the current state of love between the two, people can't help but recall the doubts and ridicules of netizens about this marriage when Weng Fan married Yang Zhenning.
In 1995, Yang Zhenning, as a well-known leader in the field of physics, went to Shantou University with his wife Du Zhili to participate in the first Chinese Physics Conference.
At that time, many students admired this returned Kochi professor who had won the Nobel Prize in physics, and Weng Fan was one of them.
At that time, she was a freshman at Shantou University, and after working hard to win the position of Yang Zhenning's husband and wife guide at the event, Weng Fan took this opportunity to ask for Yang Zhenning's contact information. Since then, Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning have kept in touch.
In 2003, Yang Zhenning's original wife Du Zhili passed away due to illness, and Weng Fan was already studying for a master's degree in translation at Guangdong University of Foreign Chinese and Foreign Studies.
After learning that Du Zhili died, Weng Fan often accompanied and comforted Yang Zhenning, and the two gradually fell in love. In this way, one day in 2004, which everyone did not expect, the incident of "Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning registering their marriage" shocked people's eyes.
This 53-year-old love was a sensation back then, and people's discussion of this "grandson love" was no less than that of Li Kuncheng and Lin Jingen today, and even more so.
After all, Yang Zhenning is a master in the academic world, after all, Du Zhili had just died a year ago. Therefore, the outside world questioned this marriage more than blessings, and many people either said that Weng Fan was "running for money", or that Yang Zhenning was "mean and unruly".
It can be said that most people are in a joke-watching mentality, waiting to see when the two will have an affair. But who knows, the marriage between Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning has persisted steadily to this day.
In the past 19 years, neither Weng Fan nor Yang Zhenning has had any negative news.
During this time, Yang Zhenning has become a centenarian, and Weng Fan, who is nearly half a hundred years old, is no longer young, but the persistence of the two staying together has not changed.
As long as Yang Zhenning attended the event, Weng Fan mostly accompanied him, and after a long time, the outside world's opinion of this marriage also changed.
In this era of "fast food love", there are really not many such feelings for each other, perhaps, this is why the netizen called their marriage a "golden wedding".
Looking at it this way, compared to those people who got married and divorced in a flash, their couple seems to be indeed "stronger than gold".
What do you think of this "grandson love" with a difference of 53 years now?
