In 1995, 19-year-old Weng Fan met the 82-year-old academician Yang Zhenning and his wife Du Zhili for the first time, when she was just an ordinary college student.
As a Nobel laureate, Yang Zhenning is well-known in the academic world, and Weng Fan naturally has great respect for this admirable old man.
However, when he really got in close contact with Yang Lao, Weng Fan found that this wise scientist had no arrogance at all, and his attitude was amiable, and he talked cordially with the students like a naughty child.
Elder Yang's humble demeanor deeply touched Weng Fan, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart.
After a few days of getting along, Yang Zhenning seems to appreciate this smart and sensible young student. At the time of parting, the old man praised Weng Fan as a "malleable talent" and placed high expectations on her.
Looking at Yang Lao's warm and jade-like gaze, Weng Fan's heart swelled with warmth, and he was determined to study harder in the future and never disappoint his teacher's high expectations.
Since then, Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning have formed a teacher-student relationship. She didn't expect that eight years later, this respected teacher would become her husband and form a "grandchild" with her with a huge age difference.
In 2003, Yang Zhenning's beloved wife Du Zhili died of illness, and the once radiant scientist fell into unprecedented hesitation and loneliness. After learning of this bad news, Weng Fan took the initiative to get in touch with Yang Lao, hoping to give him some spiritual comfort through letters.
At first, Weng Fan's letter was only out of the student's concern for the teacher, and he wanted to take this opportunity to soothe Yang Lao's wounded heart and help him get through the low point of his life. Unexpectedly, gradually, the private exchanges between the two became more and more frequent, and the topics also extended from academics to life, emotions and many other levels.
In this subtle way, an ambiguous and vague feeling quietly breeds in the hearts of the two.
Although the two are more than 50 years apart, they are able to maintain a high degree of compatibility on a spiritual level. In the letter, Yang Zhenning regarded Weng Fan as a close friend and confided in her what he thought; And Weng Fan soothed the old man's wounded heart with warm words with mature and steady sentiments.
Maybe it was stimulated by the death of his beloved wife, or maybe Weng Fan gave him a new life power, in short, after the friendship between the two became deeper and deeper, Yang Lao finally carefully revealed his love to Weng Fan.
However, in the face of the elderly man's courtship, Weng Fan still had concerns in her heart, and she once rejected Yang Lao, because the age difference of 54 years was too big for her to let go.
In fact, before he became attached to Yang Zhenning, Weng Fan had a frustrated experience with love and marriage.
At the beginning, Weng Fan also tried to tolerate each other and resolve differences with love. But the differences accumulated too much, and in the end, she could no longer endure this twisted and contradictory marital relationship.
In this way, after a short honeymoon period, Weng Fan filed for divorce from her husband in frustration.
That painful experience made the already young and vigorous Weng Fan completely lose confidence in love, the whole person became depressed, and life fell into a short period of confusion.
She just wants to devote all her energy to her studies and career, and fill the emptiness in her heart with knowledge.
At the end of 2003, Weng Fan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, went to Beihai City, Guangxi Province with the school delegation to participate in an academic exchange activity. The event invited many heavyweight scholars at home and abroad, including Yang Zhenning.
Reunited with Yang Lao, Weng Fan's heart became excited again. Despite his advanced age, Mr. Yang is in good spirits and full of energy, and he doesn't look like an 82-year-old man at all.
Seeing him talking cordially with each student one by one, Weng Fan felt a warmth in his heart. Under the kind and kind gaze of Yang Lao, she seemed to have returned to the scene where the two first met eight years ago.
Weng Fan can clearly feel that this wise old man is not difficult with his old feelings, but has a new vision and expectation. Perhaps, in Yang Lao's heart, Weng Fan is not only a plastic student, but also an important her in his later life.
At night, the sea breeze of the North Sea tugs at the heartstrings. Weng Fan stood alone on the beach, looking at the sparkling sea, speechless for a long time. Yang Lao quietly walked to her side, and his gaze in the distance seemed to be filled with indescribable affection.
"Weng Fan, what's wrong with you?" Elder Yang asked softly, with a kind smile on his face.
Weng Fan turned his head, his eyes full of struggle and pain: "Teacher, I still don't have the courage to accept your love...... How much criticism and hurt I will have to endure that then.
"I understand your concern. Yang Lao said firmly, "But I will use the residual heat of my old bones to drive away the haze in your heart." As long as you are willing to give us a chance.
After a long silence, Weng Fan finally made up his mind and nodded. She knew that if she missed this fate, she might be alone for a long time.
In 2004, amid the doubts of public opinion, 54-year-old Weng Fan and 82-year-old Yang Zhenning officially married and went through the marriage registration procedures. As soon as the news of this "grandson love" came out, it immediately caused an uproar on social media.
Soon after marriage, Weng Fan encountered unprecedented troubles and difficulties. Due to the too big age gap and the incomprehension of public opinion, she was not only greatly hindered in her workplace, but also suffered from all kinds of white eyes and criticism in her daily life.
In the face of all kinds of doubts and slander from the outside world, Weng Fan chose to deal with it calmly. She is not a "lucky" person, and the reason why she is willing to pay such a price is because she has a new understanding of this marriage in her heart: this may be the true love given to her by God, destined to be together for the rest of her life.
Since the day of marriage, Weng Fan has used all his patience, thoughtfulness and love to take care of this elderly husband.
With the passage of time, Yang Zhenning's physical function deteriorated, but under Weng Fan's careful care, the quality of life was invaluable. For example, the aging of his hearing makes Yang Lao often need people to speak repeatedly to hear clearly, and Weng Fan can always capture this in time and patiently explain and repeat it for him.
In public, Weng Fan is also always concerned about her husband's needs. As long as there are important speech activities, she will inevitably accompany Yang Lao, secretly operate for him, solve logistics and other matters.
Although she is a young woman, Weng Fan acts like a kind wife everywhere, and her meticulous care for her wife makes everyone present deeply touched.
Some people joke that Weng Fan is "intersecting" for the sake of Yang Lao's fame and wealth, but this is not the case. The mode of getting along with the husband and wife fully shows a pair of old husbands and wives who love each other with affection and affection.
No matter what the occasion, Yang Lao will always hold Weng Fan's arm and silently appeal to the deep affection in his heart.
Although Weng Fan is young, he can always be full of enviable virtuousness and wisdom in his behavior. No matter when Yang Lao needs herself, she will return to her husband as soon as possible and meet his needs and desires considerately.
In the face of gossip from all walks of life, Weng Fan can also respond calmly and win everyone's understanding little by little with his actions.
Yang Zhenning's three children's attitude towards Weng Fan is also appreciative. Their eldest son, Yang Guangnuo, made it clear that Weng Fan is a kind and virtuous girl, and his father lives a very happy and healthy life under her meticulous care.
Gradually, the relationship between Weng Fan and the Yang family became like family. They could clearly see that the death of his mother had cast a shadow over his father, but the arrival of Weng Fan gave him a great meaning in his life like a spring breeze.
Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan, the "grandfather and grandson couple", used their life practice to vividly interpret a simple truth: as long as you have the courage and determination to truly love each other, love has no boundaries of age, race, and class.
Finally, wishing Yang Lao good health is Weng Fan's greatest wish. When a person reaches the twilight of his life, it is obviously a great happiness to have a virtuous and capable wife to accompany him.
Weng Fan's performance over the years has won the understanding and recognition of many people with his actions.
Yes, marriage has its mysteries and cannot be judged by superficial factors such as age and class. And supporting each other and walking hand in hand to the end of life may be what most people expect love to look like.
I hope that everyone can be like Yang Lao Weng Fan, have an enviable relationship and enjoy the joy of family.
