It is hard to imagine that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, such talents could appear in our country! Unfortunately, this talent did not stay in China in the end, but walked out and became an American, and this talent, genius, and even all-rounder and his descendants have contributed to the Americans.
Of course, it is your own freedom to choose which country to live in. But I have to say that this is really our regret! This person was Zhao Yuanren, a famous musician, linguist and scholar who was called one of the "Four Great Teachers of Tsinghua" in the early Republic of China, along with Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao and Chen Yinke.
Born in 1892, Zhao Yuanren studied abroad in 1910 from TsinghuaYuan, the predecessor of Tsinghua University and the training of international students due to Gengzi's indemnity, and obtained a bachelor of science and a doctor of philosophy degree in the United States. After graduating and teaching at Cornell University, his alma mater, for two years, Zhao Yuanren returned to his homeland.
Here I want to emphasize that although the United States at that time had not yet experienced World War II and become the world's first, it was extremely rare for a university teacher like Zhao Yuanren to be hired as a university teacher at a local famous school in the United States after studying abroad like Zhao Yuanren!
After returning to Tsinghua, Zhao Yuan taught mathematics in the basic subject of nature. After working at Tsinghua for more than a year, Zhao Yuanren went to the United States again, with his wife Yang Weicai. Four years later, Zhao Yuanren returned to TsinghuaYuan with his wife and China's first medical doctor in the United States, and Zhao Yuanren not only taught mathematics and physics in natural disciplines, but also many courses including music and linguistics.
However, it is a pity that Zhao Yuanren and his wife finally chose to go to the United States and became American citizens. Although he later returned to his homeland several times to visit his relatives and was cordially received, Zhao Yuanren, a genius, still contributed his wisdom and talents to the United States.
Not only that, Zhao Yuanren and Yang Weicai gave birth to four daughters in their lifetime, and these four Miss Qianjin can really be described as "thousand feet of gold"! The gold content is definitely 100%. why? The eldest daughter is the first female professor of Chinese descent at Harvard University, Professor Zhao Rulan.
The second daughter, Zhao Xinna, returned to her motherland and became a famous chemist and professor! What should be said here is that the second son-in-law is a pioneer in the field of powder metallurgy in China, Mr. Huang Peiyun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Speaking of the third daughter, she worked at Cornell University, the first alma mater that Mr. Zhao Yuanren had studied in the United States from Tsinghua, and was also the university where Zhao Yuanren worked as the first college teacher, position, professor!
The fourth daughter, Zhao Xiaozhong, is a professor at the world's top university, massachusetts institute of technology. Being able to reach this level and be able to teach at such a top university shows how strong the knowledge and academic ability of several "Miss Qianjin" are!
Of course, it is still that sentence, Mr. Zhao Yuanren and his four daughters, one of whom has a second daughter return to the motherland. However, if people like them, who are crucial to the improvement of national scientific and technological level and academic theory, can really contribute to the country's higher education and scientific research, then the effect and role they play will be amazing.
Finally, I also hope that Zhao Yuanren's alma mater, the students of Tsinghua University, the preparatory school for GengziNian to pay compensation for the year of Gengzi, the preparatory school for studying in the United States, and even more 985 and 211 students, while considering personal development and academic career, must always keep the motherland in mind. Contribute your valuable contributions to the improvement of national scientific research, the economic development of the motherland, and the improvement of academic standards!
