"My surname is money, but I don't love money. I am personally just a drop in the ocean, and the real greatness is the people and our country. This is a famous quote from Mr. Qian Xuesen, a great "scientific giant" from the mainland.
It is precisely the existence of some people like Qian Lao who have bent down for the motherland and conscientiously studied scientific research that has allowed us to leave a beautiful chapter in China's historical rejuvenation.
Behind every successful man, there is a great woman, Qian Xuesen's wife Jiang Ying is exactly like this, not only gave birth to a son and a daughter for Qian Lao, but also silently paid too much behind her husband's back.
With an eight-year-old age difference, the two almost became brother and sister, what kind of love story is there between the two? Let's use a set of pictures to see how beautiful Jiang Ying is.
A veritable "childhood sweetheart"
Jiang Ying was born in a famous aristocracy, her father was Jiang Baili was a famous educator during the Republic of China, she was influenced by her father since she was a child, coupled with her own love for music, so she is determined to become a music teacher in the future.
As a "scholarly family", Jiang Ying is the third in the family, with a total of five girls in the family, unlike other sisters, Jiang Ying's personality is very lively and interesting.
The other sisters all bring their own books, and they are usually gentle and delicate, only Jiang Ying is usually like a boy, reading poetry with her cousin for a while, and dancing with her cousin for a while.
It is such a special character that made Jiang Ying almost become Qian Xuesen's sister, what's going on?
It turned out that after Jiang Ying's father Jiang Baili and Qian Xuesen's father became classmates of the former Zhejiang University, the Jiang and Qian families became world friends, but because the Qian family only had Qian Xuesen, an only child, the Qian family and his wife were very eager for a daughter.
And his son Qian Xuesen was born introverted and didn't like to talk, so Jiang Ying, who had a lively personality and was smart and clever, became the "first choice" of the Qian family and his wife.
So the Jiang family "passed" Jiang Ying to the Qian family, and the Qian family and his wife also gave Jiang Ying a new name, called "Qian Xueying".
But things did not go as the Qian family and his wife imagined, Jiang Ying felt that the Qian family was very boring without the company of his brothers and sisters, and Qian Xuesen thought that Jiang Ying was delaying his study.
The two couldn't play together at all, so this matter had to be stopped, Jiang Baili had to take his daughter back, if the Jiang family didn't take Jiang Ying back at that time, then this pair of "childhood sweethearts" would have become brother and sister.
Fate has its own heavenly arrangement
Later, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen grew up over time, each living a different life and shining in their respective fields, but the two have never met since then.
Qian Xuesen went to an American academy for further study and obtained a doctorate in aeronautics and mathematics from the California Institute of Technology, while Jiang Ying chose a German conservatory to study.
Until 1946, Qian Xuesen happened to return to China to visit relatives, and Jiang Ying happened to hold a solo concert at the "Shanghai Opera House" at that time, so fate made the two meet again.
After being invited, Father Qian took him to the scene, but Father Qian did not tell Qian Xuesen in advance whose concert he was watching, but just played the role of an escort and followed, and Father Qian also had other "small abacus" in his heart.
Qian Xuesen looked at the girl who was singing loudly on the theater stage, and unconsciously his eyes were attracted to it, and he fixed his eyes on Jiang Ying, who he hadn't seen for many years.
With a burst of warm applause, Jiang Ying slowly ended this grand solo concert, and Qian Lao took Qian Xuesen to the backstage early to send blessings to Jiang Ying in person.
Qian Xuesen found that Jiang Ying has faded away from the immaturity of the past, and has become extraordinarily beautiful and generous, with very delicate facial features, and talking with the Qian family father and son with a smile in his eyes.
In fact, the main purpose of Qian's father this time was to let Jiang Ying help his son find a girlfriend of the same age, after all, Qian Xuesen was 36 years old at the time, which was not young.
And Jiang Ying is eight years younger than him, so naturally the girls around him are about the same age, so he thought about asking Jiang Ying to find a suitable partner for Qian Xuesen.
In fact, Qian Xuesen was tall and handsome at that time, and he obtained a double doctorate degree at a young age, so he naturally didn't worry about girls liking it, and looking at Jiang Ying in front of him, he had already become a slim singer, and there would be no fewer suitors.
In this way, the two responded to this matter in front of Father Qian, although the two had each other's hearts, but no one pierced this layer of window paper.
But from the moment she saw Jiang Ying again, Qian Xuesen was already impressed by her stiff beauty, and others could no longer enter her eyes.
The perfect combination of science and art
No matter how good a woman is, Qian Xuesen will not take another look, so under his bold confession, the two lovers finally decided to stay together for life.
One of the two is handsome and handsome, the other is gentle and generous, and in the eyes of others, it is an incomparable match made in heaven, and the love between the two is also a collision of science and art.
After getting married, Jiang Ying followed her husband Qian Xuesen to the United States for development, and in the past three years, the two couples have realized their wish of "one son and one daughter".
However, in the early 50s of the last century, the domestic "aerospace blueprint" was being launched, and China needed a large number of talents.
As Qian Lao said, he is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, and when China was in danger, he resolutely took his wife and returned to the motherland for development.
During this period, Jiang Ying has always been by Qian Xuesen's side, as his "left and right hand" the most intimate virtuous helper, until after returning to China, Qian Xuesen worked hard because of helping the country's "two bombs and one satellite" aerospace development cause.
Because of the secrecy work, all of Qian Xuesen's itineraries were all kept secret, and he and Jiang Ying couldn't see each other for a few years.
Despite this, Jiang Ying still did not complain about anything, she took her two children alone and pursued her musical dream at Central College.
Jiang Ying, who successfully became a music teacher, has always worked hard and cultivated countless outstanding music students with high-quality teaching.
It was not until the completion of the work of the two bombs and one star that the husband and wife were reunited, Qian Lao devoted his life to science, and Jiang Ying also contributed to art all his life.
