The impact of family education on people is deeply rooted. But that doesn't mean that if parents are knowledgeable, the next generation will have achievements.
Similarly, uneducated parents can have children who are excellent.
First, the husband dislikes his wife for being uneducated, and the wife is so angry that she bites her arm and bleeds
Luo Menghua in the Republic of China period was a woman who was cannibalized by feudal etiquette.
Wrapped in small feet, she dropped out of school early and had no culture.
Before marrying her husband Yang Wuzhi, she couldn't even write her own name.
Yang Wuzhi was born in a family of scholars. His father, Yang Bangsheng, was a talent in the late Qing Dynasty who taught in private schools in his early years.
The marriage between Luo Menghua and Yang Wuzhi is a typical arranged marriage. Before marriage, the two did not even meet each other, relying on a word from their parents, they "got together" to live together.
A well-educated, illiterate, friction is inevitable.
One day, Yang Wuzhi reprimanded his wife for not being illiterate, and Luo Menghua was full of grievances, so angry that he bit his arm with his teeth until the bite was bleeding.
This was the biggest pain in Luo Menghua's heart.
It is not that she does not love to study, but because her father failed in business, she had to give up her studies.
She hated that she hadn't had a chance to study.
Shortly after the marriage, Luo Menghua gave birth to a son to Yang Wuzhi. She devoted her thirst for knowledge and regret to the education of her son.
She understands the importance of knowledge and is particularly strict with her son's learning.
Once, her son didn't study seriously, and wrote crookedly, with a few typos. Luo Menghua was very angry and punished him for redoing it until she was satisfied!
Second, for the mother, just, self-taught to recognize words
Luo Menghua was illiterate, but she was definitely a good mother.
When the child was four years old, Yang Wuzhi studied abroad, and Luo Menghua and his son lived alone in China.
It is said that "a woman is weak, but a mother is strong."
After that, Luo Menghua began to teach his son to read.
She didn't know words herself, and in order to teach her son, she first worked hard to learn word by word.
At that time, there was no network. When she meets a word that will not, she will run around, consult her neighbors, and then teach her son carefully!
In more than a year, she and her son learned more than 3,000 words together! That year, her child was 5 years old.
In 1928, Yang Wuzhi returned to China and was invited to teach at a university in Xiamen, and the family went to Xiamen to live.
After returning to China, Yang Wuzhi found that his son's observation ability was amazing, and he was smart and clever. At this time, he completely changed his mind about his illiterate wife, and even treated him differently.
After returning to China, he took over his son's education and began to explain the sun to his son with large and small balls, and at this time, his wife Luo Menghua often came to listen.
The family seems to have become a classroom, Yang Wuzhi is a teacher, and his wife and children are students.
In this class, Yang Wuzhi will talk about Tang poetry, history and arithmetic, as well as interesting stories such as "Han Xin Dianbing" and "Watching rabbits in the same cage".
Third, the son threatened to win the Nobel Prize at the age of 12, and he really did it 23 years later
Yang Wu was later hired to teach at Tsinghua University, and the family went to Beijing.
According to some sources, Yang Wuzhi was the first doctor of mathematics in modern China. He has been engaged in mathematics education all his life, cultivated and cultivated two generations of mathematical talents, and made great contributions to modern mathematics in China!
However, in Yang Wuzhi's life, the most proud student was his son!
His son, named Yang Zhenning. Yang Zhenning gradually grew up and studied very well, especially in mathematics, he showed a talent far higher than ordinary people.
In 1935, Yang Wuzhi was invited to visit Berlin and carried with him a photograph of Yang Zhenning, and on the back of the photo was written this sentence:
"Zhenning seems to have a different temperament, and I want to write the word Qibohuan."
When he was young, Yang Wuzhi probably did not think that the illiterate woman, the woman who was disgusted by herself and had no culture, and was so angry that she bit her arm and bled, actually gave birth to such an excellent son for herself.
When Yang Zhenning was 12 years old, he said to his parents: "One day I will win the Nobel Prize!" ”
Both husband and wife should be the children's young and ignorant idiots, but 23 years later, in 1957, Yang Zhenning really won the Nobel Prize.
Every time he felt this, Yang Wuzhi felt the subtlety of the cosmic world.
The teenager who had spoken in vain was Yang Zhenning, a world-class physicist.
After Hawking's death, the first topic of discussion about "Yang Zhenning" on Zhihu was: After Hawking's death, is the greatest scientist in the world today Yang Zhenning? What do you think about the answer to this question?
Yang Zhenning's success is inseparable from his uncultured mother. In Yang Zhenning's view, without his mother, there would be no later Yang Zhenning, who once described his mother affectionately:
"My mother was a strong-willed and thrifty woman, and her tenacity and extraordinary spirit supported the family through the eight-year war."
