Some people are born to study and can easily get high scores because they have a higher IQ or find an area that they are good at. #头条创作挑战赛#
For example, Tian Xiaofei, who was born in 1971, was able to write small poems at the age of 4, and was able to gnaw some difficult ancient books in elementary school, and often put some poems into newspapers and periodicals when she was in elementary school, and when she was in junior high school, Tian Xiaofei published 5 books, and after graduating from junior high school, Peking University came to enroll students, and she went to the Spanish Department of Peking University to study English and American literature at the age of 13.
Because of his relatively young age, he was incompatible with his classmates, and later met Haizi, a poet who also graduated from Peking University, and the two talked about the world, often discussing literature, and could be said to be friends and teachers, what Tian Xiaofei didn't expect was that Haizi finally chose to commit suicide by lying on the rails, which made Tian Xiaofei very frustrated, and then she didn't dare to open the poems again, and finally chose literary research.
When she was 18 years old, she studied English literature in the United States, and she graduated in two years after a 4-year course, and her tutor admired her very much, so he recommended her to Harvard, and at the age of 20, Tian Xiaofei went to Harvard to study for a doctorate in comparative literature, and met a very good mentor Yuwen Suo'an.
When Yuwen Suo'an communicated with Tian Xiaofei, he deeply liked this girl from China, because he was obsessed with Chinese poetry, and Tian Xiaofei also had a deep knowledge of Chinese poetry.
When Tian Xiaofei graduated, 52-year-old Yuwen Suo'an was very eager to reveal his heart to Tian Xiaofei, saying that he liked Tian Xiaofei, and Tian Xiaofei felt very panicked because he had been a top student since he was a child and had never been in love, so he went to Kirgate University as a visiting assistant professor in the Department of East Asia.
Yuwen Suo'an didn't give up, and then Tian Xiaofei also accepted, and finally the two finally tied the knot, 27-year-old Tian Xiaofei married 52-year-old Yuwen Suo'an, when I told my parents, my mother was very angry and said We are ready for you to stay in the United States, but you can't find an old man who can be your father......
The parents didn't understand, thinking that their daughter had made a sacrifice because she wanted to stay in the United States, but of course they didn't expect that in fact, Tian Xiaofei and Yu Yuwen Suo'an were really that kind of soul mates, and they really loved each other.
Because Tian Xiaofei was a good friend of Haizi for a period of time when she was a teenager, and later after Haizi committed suicide, she was also very hurt in her heart, and even began to be reluctant to talk about poetry anymore, but after going to the United States, her mentor Yuwen Suo'an was able to arouse her interest in poetry.
In 1999, Tian Xiaofei disregarded the opposition of her parents and Yuwen Suo'an registered marriage in the United States, and also followed her husband to join the American nationality, that is, to get a green card, we Chinese to get a green card is actually not an easy thing, many people in the outside world who do not know why feel that Tian Xiaofei is a blow of evil magic, that is, hoping that he can stay in the United States and abandon China, choosing to marry an old man so much older than himself, just to get a green card in the United States.
In fact, Tian Xiaofei married Yuwen Suo'an, she also made sacrifices, she was a visiting assistant professor at Corgad University, and when she followed her husband to Harvard, she was just a lecturer, which can be said to be a downgrade.
And at Harvard, she was able to study Chinese classical literature better, and the two of them were able to inspire each other to discuss together, and these top scholars really think differently from us ordinary people.
For example, we don't understand that Yang Zhenning, who won the Nobel Prize in physics, married Weng Fan for the second time, and many people feel that they can't understand it, but in fact, people who do research don't care about ordinary love, they hope to make their lives longer, and then they can devote more energy to research.
And after Weng Fan married Yang Zhenning, he also took care of Yang Zhenning very carefully, and now Yang Zhenning is 102 years old, but his spirit in all aspects is okay.
And Tian Xiaofei herself has been a genius since she was a child, she may be more in pursuit of a soul mate than love, and her mentor is also very fond of Chinese literature and has a very deep attainment, so Tian Xiaofei married Yuwen Suo'an, most likely because she really thinks it is appropriate, the two can resonate spiritually, and they can get along better in daily life.
In May 1999, after the US-led NATO bombed the mainland embassy in Yugoslavia, the Western society besieged the mainland, and a foreign scholar attacked Chinese classical culture, Tian Xiaofei was very angry, and said on the spot that he was just out of jealousy, and righteously said that Chinese civilization is a human civilization and can never be discredited.
Moreover, Tian Xiaofei will also return to China with her husband to participate in academic exchanges, which also provides us with a lot of new ways for academic research in China.
I also saw a series of Tian Xiaofei's works in the Joint Publishing House, mainly studying ancient Chinese literature, such as "Beacon Fire and Meteors: The Literary Culture of the Xiaoliang Dynasty" and "Dust Records: Tao Yuanming and the Study of Manuscript Culture".
And she is actually a professor of Chinese literature in the Department of East Asian Studies at Harvard University in the United States, that is, teaching Chinese culture abroad, so from this point of view, although Tian Xiaofei has become an American citizen, her patriotism will never change, what do you think?
