In the Qing Dynasty, a female scientist was born, Wang Zhenyi. She was born into a family of doctors, and her grandfather was a taishou and very knowledgeable. My grandfather's family also had a special collection of books, in all disciplines. It was these books that made the Wang family produce a female scientist.
When Wang Zhenyi was eleven years old, his grandfather died, and his grandmother took him to Jilin to mourn, and he lived in Jilin for 5 years. During this time, she was very studious, and she was so hungry that she read her grandfather's books over and over again. This makes the little girl become a girl who learns to be rich in five cars.
It's not the same since I was a kid
Wang Zhenyi has been different from the girl next door since she was a child, in the Qing Dynasty, when everyone still practiced "women without talent is morality", she had long learned to ride and shoot, and she shot a hundred shots.
She has always believed that women are no worse than boys, and that boys can contribute to society if they have the same amount of study time.
In terms of study, Wang Zhenyi is particularly interested in astronomy, mathematics and medicine. She also tirelessly walked on this scientific path, but it was very difficult.
While Wang Zhenyi was engaged in scientific research, she also needed to fight against the deep-rooted concepts of feudal society.
Feudal society was particularly superstitious and discriminated against women in scientific research.
But Wang Zhenyi was not afraid at all in the face of these things, and did not flinch. She firmly believes that science is the truth.
Waste sleep and forget to eat and do experiments
She loves science, often shuts herself in the house to do experiments, and often forgets to eat. Once, my mother made a meal and waited for Wang Zhenyi at the table, but she waited left and right, but she didn't see Wang Zhenyi's shadow. The mother was impatient, and thought to herself, often like this, I said it several times, and I didn't know that my body was the most important.
At the same time, the mother is also very curious, what kind of ghost is she doing?
So my mother came to the door and looked through the crack in the door. Seeing the crystal lamp hanging on the beam of the room, the small round table was pulled down under the crystal lamp, and Wang Zhenyi was holding a mirror in her hand, she kept walking around. The mother did not understand what Wang Zhenyi was doing at all, thinking that she was fooling around, and angrily shouted: "Wang Zhenyi, eat!" ”
Wang Zhenyi was startled by her mother and hurried to dinner with her mother.
Wang Zhenyi explained to her mother during the meal that the crystal lamp was the sun, the round table was the earth, and the mirror was the moon, and she was doing experiments to observe the relationship between the three.
The mother sighed and said, "No matter what, just remember to eat." ”
It was in such a simple environment that Wang Zhenyi figured out what the lunar eclipse was all about, and also wrote the article "Lunar Eclipse Solution", and her insights had a very important impact on future generations.
Died
When Wang Zhenyi was 25 years old, she met the young Zhan Ming and married him. Zhan Ming knows and loves her, respects Wang Zhenyi very much, and supports her in doing what she likes.
It was only shortly after marriage that Wang Zhenyi was plagued by illness and died at the age of 29. Maybe God saw that she was so good, so he accepted her early.
Before Wang Zhenyi died, she asked her husband to give the manuscripts he had written all his life to his friends, hoping that these manuscripts could be passed on to the world and contribute to society.
Unfortunately, her friend did not publish her manuscript, and a lot was lost, and Wang Zhenyi's last wish was empty after all.
This strange woman, with her indomitable spirit, proved to us that women are no worse than men. As long as you stick to yourself, you can be wonderful.
